John McCain is watching you!

About two weeks before the first of the month, we were wandering mindlessly around RiverCenter Mall downtown, and went into the music store there. They had a near-life-size cardboard cutout of John McCain, marked down to $5.

"I have to have that!"

Of course, we had no money right then. But my mother asked them if they'd hold it 'til after the first of the month. They agreed. We went back and bought it on the 4th of this month.

What, pray tell, does one do with a near-life-size cardboard cutout of John McCain?

Well, one puts one's Sarah Palin t-shirt on it, of course:



(Er, don't mind the stack o' stuff in the corner. I really need to get to the donation box. I swear it's all clean, though.)

And then, one decides to put it in one's kitchen window, to hopefully freak out the neighbors. And since it is Advent, one puts a Santa hat on it:




(That's kind of a pull-back shot so as to prove I do indeed live in a trailer.)

The girls, by the way, love John.

That is an awesome use of $5.00 and a few props! That would have worked very well in our neighborhood Christmas Lighting contest.
