A happy nasty surprise . . .

I'd been grumpy about a little medical issue that's requiring me to stay home and miss canvassing and phone banks. So I made about 50 of these last night, and this morning dropped them off with a group that had gathered to walk voted ballots to the drop boxes, a small march to commemorate the anniversary of the 19th Amendment. To my surprise and delight, our state legislator grabbed one and pinned it to his lapel, and within moments everyone was wearing them. The woman who'd taken delivery of the buttons was planning to hand them out at a candidate event this afternoon, but half of them were gone before we got to the parking lot. Now I've been asked to make some for our campaign offices.

Looks like I'm going to have a busy weekend after all!

Love it! It should be a jazz term (that cat's new ax is NASTY!). A hipster term (NASTY, dude!). A universal condemnation of the Election of '16.
