You know how I got this job? The producers figured I would be good. Carly Simon is a musician and she was pretty successful with that. And so it follows that someone else named Carly with a two syllable last name should be pretty adept when it comes to blogging.

Because what's in a name? Everything.

Mike Pompeo is a guy running for Congress who will probably win if enough of you show up at the polls.

When you get down to it, we're all guilty of doing what this lovely woman in South Carolina did. It's just that the rest of us don't put on our favorite cotton dress and go telling the news about it.

I mean, I voted for Obama because his name sounds like Oompa Loompa and I love those little guys. But it's not like I'm going to admit that to anyone.
