I didn’t see any flyers sitting around from either Obama or McCain. That just supports my prediction that Bush isn’t leaving.
For more than a year, I have been predicting that George W. Bush will find some obscure theory and make himself president for life. Why shouldn’t he? The Supreme Court likely would back him 5 to 4.
Anyway, there are a lot of candidates running for one county office. From what I picked up, the Republican candidate already working in the office has an inside track. I am not so sure if I learned much about the Democratic contest. Two of the candidates live in Buffalo City and both are active volunteers in our community. On the ground I found an equal number of flyers from each of the two candidates.
There also are several candidates vying to replace our representative in Madison. Ask me some time and I will tell you who I expect to win the Assembly seat.
If some candidate could attach their catchy slogan to “freeze pops” that candidate would be a shoo-in. First, the information would be just below eye level, and … whoops kids don’t vote. Well, maybe children can vote; in Chicago, dead people do.
I did pick up more empty beer cups than cool pops, but it is illegal to use booze to garner votes. According to litter count, Miller Lite should do quite well, but I don’t know what office he’s running for. A friend said that Bud was doing quite well near the beer tent. My litter findings show Busch NA will probably have a terrible election.
Being a very recognizable name, Marlboro should do well. Because of its price, I thought generic cigarettes would have the advantage in these hard times. Somebody at the celebration must have decided to quit smoking, because I found a nearly full pack of Salem Light cigarettes, that or a parent came along and a kid ditched her smokes before being caught.
Either the residents at the end of the parade route are cleanly folks, or the parade participants ran out of stuff to give away because there was less mess at the end of the route than where the parade began.
Ducks must be healthy because I watched them leave Goose Lake Park and walk right past scads of leftover candy. Not only are they vegetarians but they aren’t much for sugar either. If I was going to be Thanksgiving dinner, I might consider being a vegetarian myself.
Our local Dumpster and Recycling Joint Board of Commissioners is continuously monitoring the location and placement of every Dumpster. I now have expertise in finding all the Dumpsters, so I could deposit my bag full of election information.
We, in Wisconsin, must be serious about cheese. I only found one “Cheese Single” on the street. All the rest must have been consumed or taken home. Where but in Wisconsin do you get a slice of cheese at a parade?
This morning I awoke tired and stiff. That’s the real reason I took a large plastic garbage bag and headed out on my morning walk. To get some of the kinks out, I wanted to stoop and bend while exercising. You likely will need to bend a little this fall when you exercise your right to vote. That’s OK.
Until next time, Orlin.
