I wore one of my two McCain hats yesterday. I accidentally left one at Chuck E Cheese the night before the election and didn't have the heart to go back and get it. My other McCain hat has been missing in my car for a couple of months. Yesterday I dug it out beneath my 28 pairs of my daughters shoes and various pretzels and other snack items. A bit more digging and I may have found Hoffa. I also consider food on my floor as emergency food rations. You know, massive earthquake, I am stuck in my car for days on end and able to survive by eating Goldfish off the floor. The good news is they really never go bad. Anyway I wore my hat because I was going to see my folks in Arizona and Arizona may be the one place where I wouldn't look stupid by wearing a McCain hat.

If I wear this in California post election, I'd look like one of those Japanese soldiers on some island somewhere who didn't know the Emperor surrendered in 1945. So here I wear it, basically to cover my head but a thought did occur to me. I don't recall ever seeing an Obama hat, or Hillary, or really any other Democrat this election cycle. I don't even recall a Kerry Edwards : A Strong America (snicker) hat. I think Democrats don't do political hats. They do bumper stickers for sure. See my previous post. They own the bumper sticker but not hats. I have a couple of theories that make more sense under the influence of adult beverages but the one that makes sense sober is that hats are really for older people, people like me with receding hair lines. People like Joe Biden. He wouldn't need plugs if he just wore a hat. Young people don't really need hats. I didn't start wearing hats until I was well into my 30's. Unfortunately I have lost 3 in the past year so I am down to two hats: the old standby USS RR and McCain. I need more hats but the next election is four LONG years away and even if I wanted to, I don't think they sell a hope and change hat.
