I just scheduled a colonoscopy for Friday - thought it would be better to do something more productive than waste my time with him.

I must respectfully disagree. Instead, I would try very hard to get a ticket, and then stand very close to the annointed one. If you are lucky, he may place his healing hands upon you, and, bingo, no more colonoscopies EVER!
You MUST believe in the powers of the ONE we have all been waiting for! FORWARD! ( To oblivion, if this j-----s is re-elected, which, sadly, is likely.)

I wonder if ID will be required to enter to enter this event. After all, even his wife's cookbook events require photo ID. Funny how his and his wife's security is more important than the security of our precious vote.
