Yeah, yeah, it's my 36th birthday today. And yes, I did just quote "Clerks" in my subject line. Think about it....a guy who likes "Clerks" wants to be your congressman. That should earn your vote or your contribution, right? Hey, it was worth a shot. I once got a 25 dollar donation just because I once vaguely referenced a line from "Star Wars".
Anyway, nothing much to report today, with the exception of birthday-related material. My daughter was the first to wish me a happy day, visited with loved ones, I got a few presents from my parents, and my mom made me a cheesecake. All in all, a good day.
Sorry for the post of virtually nothing, but I want to update this every day...not every day is full of brilliant insight into defeating the opposition. Sometimes you get the above.

Happy Belated Birthday, Jeff!!!! See you Tuesday.

I hate to tell you this but the number referenced in Clerks was 37 not 36.

Darn, I lent my copy of Clerks to a friend, so I can't give you the exact quote.
But I think it was 36, 37 including Dante. Either way, it was close enough to get him my vote. After all, it's important to have a job that makes a difference, that's why I . . . oh nevermind.

Yes, but the line I quoted is correct. They talk about 37 later, but Dante asks Veronica about the number 36 including him....to which she responds "37".
From www.imdb.com
------------------
Dante Hicks: This is different, this is important. How many?
[long pause as customer buys something]
Dante Hicks: Well?
Veronica Loughran: Something like... 36.
Dante Hicks: What? Something like 36?
Veronica Loughran: Lower your voice.
Dante Hicks: Wait a minute, what is that anyway, something like 36? Does that INCLUDE me?
Veronica Loughran: Ummm... 37.
Dante Hicks: I'm 37?
