An interesting pro-Obama ad that is going around:
“Girls say yes, to boys who say Obama”
I guess that’s one way to buy a vote. Not particularly sure I like it, but if nothing else, it definitely beats the political attack ads we seem to have a plethora of in Florida these days. So is it horribly [...]

You might, or might not, remember Nikki Cox from Las Vegas.

So, we were spending a leisurely Saturday flipping through some of the ad-mailers sent to our ‘hood downtown and this ad for E.C. Waters caught our eye:
