My Choice
I try not to be too political with my posts here at Prime Time Money. However, I feel the time has come for me to finally express my opinion. I can no longer stand by silently while millions get ready to cast their vote for one of the most important elections in a very long time. Here’s my choice for President of the United States of America.
Carnivals
Speaking of carnivals, the State Fair is in town here in Texas. Apparently, due the economy, attendance is down drastically. I never understood wasting a bunch of money at the fair anyway. Call me a downer, but Texas heat, bad food, and death traps for rides don’t sound sound like fun.

LOL. You got me! I’m not a big fan of state fairs either. I can think of better ways to spend my time.
Thanks for the mention!
rick astley? i really thought you were casting your vote for rick springfield.
I can’t believe I let you Rick Roll me… *sigh* Thanks for the mention!
Thank you so much for the linky love. I head to the election polls on Tuesday, since I’m Canadian. Everyone go and vote! Woot!
Thanks for the link, PT. And thanks for the Rick Roll, I guess. Have a great week.
You…Are…Evil!! Haha. If he were still around I’d be voting for Frank Zappa! Ah well.
I agree about most fairs…it’s just vendors selling their wares. Most of them, by me at least, are all the same too!
And here I thought we were having an intelligent political discussion. Rick Rollled!!! BAM! You got me. Sad to say I actually owned that Rick Astley album. scary right?
damn you PT!!! why didn’t i read your comments first? My name is J. Money, and i got Rick Rolled….stupid A.D.D.
Thanks for the mention!
I agree with Courtney…my vote would have to go for Rick Springfield. Rick Roll this, PT Money!
gotcha!
Astley, all the way to the White House!
Rickrolled? Good one. We should never take ourselves too seriously, just our responsibilities.
Be sure to vote…
tricky tricky! Add me to the list of “duped” as well.
Now that’s a roundup! Great list this time around, and thanks for including me. By the way, I visited (err, endured) the state fair here in Georgia this weekend. You pretty much nailed it–spent too much on food, was terrified watching my kids on the rides, and wasn’t into the “agri-entertainment” that goes along with it. Not very frugal, but at least it only comes around once a year.
Rickrolled by PT-Say it ain’t so! Funny stuff.
Thanks for including my article.
Gah, rickrolled by PT. Ill just have to exact my revenge on your Fantasy Football team. Best I can do.
As Miss Squawkfox said… thanks for the linky love!!!
