You're just realizing that? I thought it's been a bit obvious since... the eighties?

Within my bones this resonates
Boiling blood will circulate
Could you tell me again what you did this for?

“I don’t love you anymore” is all I remember you telling me
Never have I felt so cold
But I've no more blood to bleed
'Cause my heart has been draining into the sea

Still I wait

It's 3:00am, some night in September 1979...the phone rings, and it's John McCains' wife on the phone, should he climb off of Cindy to answer it, or call her back when he's finished?

Mikey, alas that it's prettymuch a no-contest, due to our pathetically small population and stupid set of local election rules, if enough people sign me onto the ballot, I'd still win if only three quarters of em even show up.

Considering their latest demand for a blank check..
(this time a seven million dollar bond sale for a project estimated at $600,000.00 USD)
And the fact that they mounted a ludicrous propaganda campaign that pissed off EVERY merchant in town, actually turned the locals against them and then lied, got caught lying, blew $128,000.00 on two F-150's and a Copy Machine, and then levelled threats and accusations at the populace when we forced a vote and crushed it 85-11-4%
(no-yes-didn't show up)

And this on the heels of me pulling out a crushing speech which shot down the "let's build a new school in someone elses district with my cousins contracting company" game, and then the forcible eviction of walter and secretary for graft and corruption, the credit card swindle, and the merciless beatdown over lost wages due to being forced under threat to repeatedly shovel the walks when I was in NO condition to do so...
http://www.fireflyfans.net/mthread.asp?b=18&t=31882

The locals tagged onto the fact that I scare the everlivin crap out of these folk, and they wish to deploy that weapon at point blank range, as if living across the street from their meeting place weren't bad enough ?

So, if they got enough signatures to toss me on the ballot, they got MORE than enough to elect me, the only sticky point is that I initially refused to do this, but nowhere in our election rules does it seem to require the consent of the party in question, so they went ahead and did it anyway.

One of the merchants who is more or less the default leader of this rush, put it to me this way last week, in that this is a bunch of individual people from the town asking me to do this, as individuals - rather than an organised political party out for it's own gain, which is pretty much true given how small this place is.

Essentially my whole purpose is to dump sand in the gears every time these jerks get greedy or ambitious on us, and believe me, I can DO that, none better - if naught else I can just sit in my front yard grinning at them while denying them a quorum, not to mention these berks are sorely incompetent at anything underhanded, being pampered little sububria rugrats locking horns with an elevated ghetto thug.

It does help that I have deliberately cultivated the perception amongst them and their flunkies that I am perhaps a bit unhinged...


I think the underlying plan here, at least on the merchants side of things, is to scare the remainder of these berks right out of town, which is fine by me, but they'd best have some replacements which can actually DO the job, cause I ain't qualified or interested if I were.

Crackpot politics at it's finest, I tellya.

Thanks for confirming, Hero.

Sickdude, I've found from living here that Michiganders as a whole, in spite of being more a blue state, are a fairly conservative bunch and tend to hold a grudge about serious screwups like that - especially since the UAW, which holds this state in claws of iron, didn't want the damn thing here to begin with.

Ergo, the locals ANYWHERE near Detroit would be kind of iffy about something like this, you'd have to go much further north if you wanted to get any interest in a proposal of this nature, and to give such a speech right where it nearly went south would evidence a total ignorance of just how LONG your typical Michigander can hold a grudge like that.

It was a really bad idea politically for him to make that speech there, and he shoulda known that, doesn't he have flunkies supposed to tell him shit like this ?

Oh, "I'm not disagreein' with any particular point, sir..."

AU, you're right! And thank God. With Obama as president, for once we got a pretty good chance at a really good eight years.

I know - Obama's going to be the President, regardless.

Did you all see where Cindy McLame got snapped in half like a twig? Apparently, someone tried to shake her hand, and her feeble old bones just couldn't take the crushing force of an ordinary handshake. Now she's gimping about with her arm in a sling.

You should know better than to try to shake hands with the Ice Queen. Maybe a "terrorist fist-bump" would have been more appropos...

Did you forget that he wants us to speak Spanish too? And I expect that he'll also tell us all to stop giving Birthday and Christmas presents to our kids, because he and the wife don't believe in that. I'm sure their kids understand and don't care much, especially when all their friends talk about their presents. You know I frequently check my tire pressure, not for gas mileage but for safety. I checked it Sunday, but still had to pay $ 3.88 for gas on Monday. If only Bill Clinton hadn't vetoed the ANWR drilling law that Congress passed 10 years ago; we'd have all the sweet black gold we need now. I guess we'll just have to live with $4 gas, but we can take much comfort in the fact that there have been 17 new caribou births across the 17 million square miles of ANWR.
