Hoo, boy-- Mrs. Shirley Nagel is a real meanie


[The photo shows the pumpkins I carved for Halloween. The one on the left has a bit of a stomach virus. It is that one which I now dedicate to Mrs. Shirley Nagel of Grosse Pointe, Michigan, for reasons that quickly will become clear]

Some of us here on the Razor are originally from Grosse Pointe, Michigan, where there are people who take their politics waaaaaay too seriously-- such as Mrs. Nagel, who was an alternate delegate at the Republican convention in St. Paul. From the story in the Detroit News:

Shirley Nagel passed out candy Friday -- but only to those who shared her support for Republican presidential candidate John McCain and running mate Sarah Palin.

A sign was posted Friday outside Nagel's house and it served notice to all trick-or-treaters, according to Channel 2/WJBK-TV. It read: "No handouts for Obama supporters, liars, tricksters or kids of supporters."

On Saturday afternoon, the sign was no longer there.

Nagel told WJBK-TV that "Obama's scary." When asked about children who'd been turned away empty-handed and crying, she said: "Oh well. Everybody has a choice."

Thanks to Tyd for sending this GP news along, and Christine for the video tip (and RFDIII for sending me the singing hockey mom).

I remember the Nagel name. Didn't Mrs. Nagel work at North?

Do your Razor readers know about Devil's Might? I understand they had some extra Nat'l Guard troops in Detroit - just in case...

Yes, they do take their politics too seriously in GP. That is why we are not invited to my parents Election Night party in FL. I was going to suggest they serve some 'Barack'-oli along with the John McCain Yankee Doodle Macaroni salad but I'm not sure they would get the joke.

Thanks Tyd

This week on the Post Secret site (yes, I am one of those girls that reads it every week), there's a 'secret' that says "I always pick up after my dogs... except if there's an Obama sign in the yard!"
