Clearly New Mexico

I read a fun book last week - Not Quite What I Was Planning: Six-Word Memoirs by Writers Famous and Obscure by Larry Smith and Rachel Fershleiser.

It's a wonderful collection of six-word autobiographies from people both famous and ordinary. Here's the intro from the website:

Six-Word Memoirs: The Legend

Legend has it that Hemingway was once challenged to write a story in only six words. His response? "For sale: baby shoes, never worn." Last year, SMITH Magazine re-ignited the recountre by asking our readers for their own six-word memoirs. They sent in short life stories in droves, from the bittersweet ("Cursed with cancer, blessed with friends") and poignant ("I still make coffee for two") to the inspirational ("Business school? Bah! Pop music? Hurrah") and hilarious ("I like big butts, can't lie").

So here's a few more I thought up for this election year:

Hillary Clinton: Need more delegates than there are.

Barack Obama: I just want to be me.

John McCain: 100 year occupation? I said that?

Bill Richardson: My beard makes me resemble Jesus.

Diane Denish: Bill Richardson for a cabinet post.

Tom Udall: If you're liberal, raise your hand.

Steve Pearce: Heather is liberal. Red is blue.

Heather Wilson: Me, liberal? You crazy, Steve Pearce.

Jeff Bingaman: That's MR. Super Delegate to you.

As they say, everyone has a story. Got any to share?
