As you have probably noticed, Rainy Day does her best to
keep both Politics and Religion from her blog. Not that she doesn't have
thoughts and opinions about both and rather strong ones at that, but she
figures they are private, just as your thoughts and opinions about same are
also private.
However, this year, Rainy Day must jump into the fray and
recommend someone for President. Yes, it has finally come to that. And who does
Rainy Day think should be the next President of the United States? Why, who
else but Tyrion Lannister? Not only does Rainy Day think he's the best man for
the job, because everyone knows "a
Lannister Always Pays His (National) Debts," but he'd be the sexiest
President ever!
Rainy Day really hadn't thought much about who would get her
vote this year,* until she saw the tee shirts at Snorg Tees (www.snorgtees.com) and realized the perfect
man for the job – doesn't exist, except in the minds and hearts of all who
watch – or read – Game of Thrones. (Be sure to check out all the marvelous tees
at Snorg, and remember, Winter is Coming!)
For those who don't follow the show, or don't know the
characters, Tyrion Lannister, aka the Imp or Halfman, is marvelously played by
Peter Dinklage, and is Rainy Day's most favoritest character so far. Tyrion
Lannister is intelligent, cunning, witty, and probably has more honor than
anyone else in his family. Rainy Day recommends looking him up online, if you
don't know who he is. (Her second most favoritest characters, in no particular
order of preference are Arya, Bran, and Daenerys.) If you are unfamiliar with
the characters, or the story, there is much available online, and the books
reside in your local bookstores or libraries.
However, this is not a book/tv report. It's a 'Get out and
vote' message and what really matters is that you vote, in your state's
primary election and in the national election. It matters that you vote for the
person you think is best for the job. And Rainy Day thinks that best person is
Tyrion Lannister! (Did you know that if you write in someone on your ballot,
you must also write the political party of that person, and your vote will be
counted for that party, not that person?)
Yes, Rainy Day knows Tyrion Lannister is really a fiction –
but aren't all politicians, each and every one?
*That's not a true statement. Rainy Day gives her vote a
great deal of serious consideration.
Also, Rainy Day wants to call your attention to some great photography
at her friend's site: www.3-sue-taylor.artistwebsites.com
