Pat Maginess: Private-Eye

Hard Shelled Detective Fiction by Edward Piercy

Obama Is a Really Nice Guy





I have to say, President-elect Obama is
a really nice guy. Just last Friday he
called me to ask how my mom was doing in
the hospital. And he seemed greatly relieved
to hear that she was doing okay and in fact
improving. Barack (he wants me to call him
that now) asked me if there was anything else
that I needed. When I happened to mention that
I could use some cigarettes, he Fed-Ex'd me
a carton of Marlboro 100s overnight. And
when he heard how tough it has been for
me to get my shit together and do the dishes
and laundry and stuff, he mentioned that he
was friends with a couple of people in Paris
and that he would try to help me get in that
French maid that I've been needing. He also
found out that I had to go up to the hospital
for an x-ray, and he sent his own official
limousine to take me up there. I have to admit,
it was really cool riding in the limo and talking
with the Secret Service agents.

Of course, he really can't help me get the
dental work I need to get done. And I doubt
that a Dental plan would be included in any
National Health Plan, even assuming he could
get one passed. I guess even President-elect
Obama's powers are limited.

Barack has done a lot for me, even in just
the few days since the election. In fact,
if I'm still alive by the 2012 election,
I might just vote for the guy.

:lol:

considering that you did not vote for him in 2008 ,
(don't try to fool us with 2012)
I have to admit he did a lot!

and since the Paris Concord is not in service any longer
let me give you a maid till your French one arrives :heart:
hang i there Ed,
life is not easy and we hear you...

I don't want to disappoint you, Ed, but I have to tell you that Obama does that to everybody

edwardpiercy 10. November 2008, 19:49

@ Angeliki. I was thinking more as in "from a slender thread." :lol:


@ Allan. :lol:

Incredible. How DOES he do it all with just 24 hours in a day? :D

ricewood 10. November 2008, 19:57

Dedication. Pure dedication.

gdare 10. November 2008, 20:48

Hold on Ed, I hope some things will be better for you soon :up:
:sst: and that maid is just a cutie

edwardpiercy 10. November 2008, 20:55

Thanks, Darko. I think my sister is coming into town to help out with a few things. Not exactly the French maid I was hoping for, but definitely "lower maintenance." -- :lol:

I wonder if he could send me Johnny Depp to help with the 'too heavy' stuff around my house. I wonder too if Johnny knows how to fix anything electrical.:D

edwardpiercy 10. November 2008, 22:07

I would bet that Barack would be glad to help you out there, Pam. So, do you have quite a bit of "too heavy" stuff? Cause you know, you can always get in more heavy stuff before Johnny arrives.

PainterWoman 10. November 2008, 22:11

I'm making a long list. He'd have to stay for hours.p:

ellinidata 10. November 2008, 22:58

Edward honey,
these are the latest news....
Barack called,
there is a change,
since he has his mother in law helping with the kids in the White House,
he feels he can spare her...
she is heading your way and till she arrives here is some help for you...

:lol:

PainterWoman 10. November 2008, 23:38

Ed, Allan, Darko and Angeliki, I'm headed out to Fargo, ND in the morning. I'll be back on the 18th. It suddenly got really cold there just for me.:eyes: :ko: See you in a week. :heart: :heart:

qlue 10. November 2008, 23:48

Whoever said that sarcasm is the lowest form of wit clearly hasn't read this blog yet :lol:

ellinidata 10. November 2008, 23:51

@ Angeliki and Pam.

Well that settles it. In cases like this, there's only one equitable thing to do: Cut Johnny in two and give you each half.

And don't get to arguing about "which half" you are going to get, either!

:lol:


@ Pam.

Have a good trip. The one time I passed through, the steaks were very good in Fargo. So maybe that's at least something. :up:


@ Aadil.

Sarcasm? Hell, I was going for Satire. Drat!

ellinidata 11. November 2008, 01:08

I get the better half ! :lol:
Pam wants the "brtatsa" as Italians say to carry heavy things! I can go lighter! :lol:

ellinidata 11. November 2008, 01:09

Pam can I borrow the tattoos from time to time too ?? :lol:

DBabbit 11. November 2008, 02:14

Heck, my birthday was Saturday and Johnny was supposed to be at my party. I'd appreciate you NOT cutting him up til I've had my fun with him! :lol: Pam, you'll have to split the tattos with Angeliki. :D

edwardpiercy 11. November 2008, 02:48

@ D.

My chain saw won't arrive till next week anyway. So you've got till then. :up:

:devil:



DBabbit 11. November 2008, 03:15

Chain saw? :yikes: Tell me Barak didn't promise to get you that too! :no:

ellinidata 11. November 2008, 03:25

DBabbit 11. November 2008, 03:31

Happy Name Day! :hat: Now you're going to have to post about that - unless you did already & I haven't found it yet. :lol: And if you need more corn - I've got a freezer full - I'm not eating it, and I put up over 100 pints this summer.

ellinidata 11. November 2008, 03:43
