And now, for the second time in my blog's three year history, today I will have a guest blogger. Enjoy!

I, Leah, am hijacking Josh's blog today. He was going to rant about Britney Spears' used chewing gum being auctioned off on eBay. But who cares! I have a far better tale to tell...

For the past few weeks there have been representatives from the Democratic National Comittee trying to collect donations from people on the street in front of the museum. They all wear cute little red t-shirts with DNC printed on the back, and they carry very official looking clip boards. So one day, about two weeks ago, a particularly lovely DNC volunteer caught Josh's eye. Suddenly he felt his patriotism like he had never felt it before. His love of America swelled in his designer jeans until it was ready to burst. The spirit of his forefathers - Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Ron Jeremy - moved him to give the DNC vixen his phone number, credit card number, and a commitment of $40 to the John Kerry for President fund.

Two weeks later, there has been no further sign of the cute volunteer and no charges applied to Josh's credit card. Today at lunch Maggie asked Josh "If he had heard back from the $40 girl yet", which caused Nathaniel and I to choke on our sandwiches as we laughed. By now, Josh's credit card and the cute DNC girl have probably escaped to Sweden.

If you're cute enough, and willing to stand around outside holding a clipboard, the world is truly your oyster.

This is the woman I work for! Do you see what I have to deal with?
