A spokesman for Mattel announced today that media references to McCain's wife as Barbie have caused sales of the popular doll to fall by 23%. The addition of Sarah Palin to the ticket has increased sales of brown haired Barbies by 33%.
Thanks Amber. I fly to Minneapolis next week. I have one in Florida and one in Va.. I might have one in Cleveland coming up this fall, too, but I don't have dates for it. I wish I had more.
Thanks Jimmy. I'm going poll crazy. I real too many polls.
And Amber, BOA will post my readings. If you check their site. I will read anywhere I am asked, if I can make it. And I will post them when I know the details on my blog. Thanks for your interest!
Thanks. Have you ever done a reading at Sinclair Community College in Dayton OH? I take poetry workshops there from time to time. My teacher Jamey Dunham is actually the one who told me to check out your writing a few years ago and I've been a reader ever since!
yeah! jamey is a great writer and an awesome teacher. he's been kind of like a mentor to me. I don't think I'd still be writing if it wasn't for him, or at least not as developed as I feel I am now.
