Polidicks, not Politics.

Polidicks (a word I made up to describe most politicians)

I was cruising on my bike with my constant companion and best friend, "Obama," The dog.

I see a bunch of people campaigning and polidicking 'sic' sign waving and throwing Shaka's to oncoming traffic for Hawaii Governor hopeful, Neil Abercrombie.

These polidickers "sic" are across from the Pono Kai condos in downtown Kapa'a town,and are being more respectful than most other campaigners I have seen there over the years by not blocking the sidewalk for pedestrian and bicycle usage. Most political sign waivers usually block the sidewalk making it difficult for pedestrians and bicyclists.

I see a short stocky man with a white bead, it wasn't me and it wasn't Santa Claus since it's only August, it was Neil Abercrombie himself.

I had to stop. I introduced him to "Obama the Dog" and he proceeds to tell me about how he's going to make change.

I said, "Great, I'm heading to the laundromat can you make change for a $10.00?

We both laughed and had our photo taken with "Obama," (the dog) and with a twinkle in his eye, he said I really am the guy to make change.

OK, I'm waiting, in the meantime the machine will do just fine.
