Political Aspirations

A whole new adventure?

Dear Blabby and Crabby:

My husband, Harry, is considering running for our homeowners’ association board of directors and has this hare-brained idea that he can win. He spends most of his time watching CNN and has an opinion on how to solve every problem in the world. Between newscasts, all he does is eat and sleep. He doesn’t participate in any activities, clubs, or organizations, but somehow he’s come up with this plan to get himself elected. I think he  watched too much of the presidential election campaign. The problem is, he wants me to take an active part in helping him get elected. I wouldn’t vote for the nutcase, and I sure don’t want to be embarrassed by getting involved in his campaign. Any suggestions? Signed: Ready to Commit Harry (Kerri)

Blabby: It’s easy to see why Kerri has an issue. Uncontrolled political ambition has soured many good marriages.

Crabby: Yes, you’re correct, but in Harry’s case, he may have set his sights too low. Eating, sleeping, watching CNN, and getting nothing else done sounds like our current Congress. He might as well jump into national politics with his qualifications. Read More >>
