SENATE SEAT BOOGIE

AUGUST 2007
WENT TO A SOFTBALL GAME IN ST. PAUL LAST NIGHT. THE GAME STARTED WITH AN ANNOUNCEMENT THERE WOULD BE A RUN OFF FOR A SPOT ON FIRST BASE. GOOD LOOKING KID FROM OUT OF TOWN ((NC) THAT SUDDENLY WENT TO PLAY FOR AN OPPOSING TEAM HAD VACATED THE POSITION. OF FOUR POSSIBLE GUYS OPTING FOR THE POSITION THREE GUYS SHOWED UP. WORD WAS THE ONE GUY THAT DID NOT SHOW UP WAS SIMPLE IGNORED BY THE COACH CAUSE HE DID NOT MEASURE UP TO SIGN UP STANDARDS SET BY UNKNOWN PARENTS THAT FUNDED THE T-SHIRTS FOR THE BALLTEAM. ANY WAY, THEY ALL WANTING TO PLAY FIRST BASE.

ONE KID WAS QUIET RICH KID WHOSE WHO WON THE LOTTERY AND HAD MOVED TO A NICE NEW DEVELOPMENT OUT SIDE THE OLD CITY…. HE LOOKED LIKE HE WAS LIVING COMFORTABLE CAUSE HE PASSED OUT HIS RESUME AND DVD’s TO EVERYONE THAT LOOK LIKE A POTENTIAL FUTURE FAN. PEOPLE ALSO REALLY GROOVED ON THE GIFTS HE HAD FOR LITTLE SCHOOL KIDS AND, AND FRESH FRUIT FOR SKINNY LITTLE GIRLS THAT LOOKED HUNGRY, AND IT FELT LIKE THE OPRA WINFREY SHOW.

THE OTHER KID WAS NOT FROM OUR NEIGHBORHOOD EITHER (A F) HE HAD ATTENDED SCHOOL WITH SOME OF US, BRIEFLY, THEN MOVED OUT OF STATE AND STRUCK IT BIG ON A TV TALENT SHOW FOR FUNNY PEOPLE. A FUNNY GUY HE COULD APPLE POLISHING LIKE NOBODIES BUSINESS. THE KID WORE STRIKING GLASSES THAT WITHOUT WHICH HE WOULD BE BLIND AND CLUMSY AND WAS NICE BUT KINDA PUSHY!
AND JUMPED IN LINE WHENEVER HE FELT LIKE IT.

ANY WAY ONE OF THE MOMS WAS CONTROLLING THE WHOLE INTERVIEW PROCESS (KW) HELD BEFORE FIELD TRIALS. SHE WORKED FOR TPT, A SO CALLED LOCAL PUBLIC TV STATION. SHE KEPT PUSHING DOWN THE THIRD GUY, A GUY, SHORT IN STATURE, DRESSED NICE, BUT HIS HAIR WAS JUST A LITTLE LONG AND IF HE DIED IT RED IN STEAD OF SILVER HE WOULD LOOK LIKE SPANKY FROM OUR GANG…. READY TO LEAD THE TEAM TO ULTIMATE VICTORY.

ANY WAY THIS SOFT BALL MOM WAS VERY IRRITATING TO EVERY ONE BUT SHE REMAINED OBLIVIOUS. SHE KNEW WHAT SHE WAS DOING, AT LEAST EVERYONE THOUGHT, SO WE THINK SHE HAD A THING FOR THE GOOFY KID WITH THE BIG GLASSES AND WAS FRIENDS WITH THE QUIET RICH KIDS PARENTS CAUSE THEY WHERE SOCIAL CLIMBERS.

SHE DID NOT LIKE THE SHORT KID AND IT SHOWED IN HER DEMEANER. NOW WHEN THE FIELD TRIAL BEGAN THIS WOMEN WAS VISABLY SUCKING UP TO HER FAVORITES AND RUDE TO THE SCRUFFY SILVER HAIRED KID THAT WANTED TO PLAY VERY VERY BAD BUT JUST COULD NOT TAKE A NICE LITTLE PUNCH AT THIS WOMEN WHO WAS JUST BEGGING FOR IT. A PUNCH IN HER FANCY PANTS BUTT FOR BEING SUCH A SHRILL. SHE HAD A PIERCING MOTHER WAY OF LOOKING NICE BUT YOU WANT TO JUST PUNCH HER AND OF COURCE YOU COULD’NT.

SHE HAD NO POWER TO APPOINT YOU TO FIRST BASE, BUT, SHE WAS A GATEKEEPER FOR HER FAVORITES BOYS. EVENTIALLY THE RICH GUY GOT FIRSTS ON THE POSITION CAUSE THE COACH WAS NOT STUPID AND HE NEEDED A NEW BUS FOR THE TEAM AND THIS WAS HIS AGENA OR PLAN FROM THE GET GO.

ANY WAY, THE SILVER HAIRED KID WENT HOME ANGRY ALTHOUGH HE NEVER LET ON DURING THE INTERVIEW CAUSE HES SO NICE AND LOOKED SCARED (EVEN THOUGH HE’S NOT) TO TAKE ON THE BIG BOYS WHEN THEY CLEARLY NEEDED A THRASHING. WHEN HE GOT OUT HE WAS FUMING AS WELL AS HIS FRIENDS. THE KID WAS KICKING HIMSELF FOR NOT STANDING UP TO THE SOFTBALL MOM THAT PUSHED HIM AWAY AND INSTEAD OF SHOWING HIS STUFF HE HAD TO DEAL WITH THIS SHRILL WOMEN.

HE VOWED TO RETURN AND LEARN TO CONFRONT THE PUSHY GOOFY KID WITH THE GLASSES. THIS WOMEN SEEMEDTO TREAT HIM LIKE A NONENTITY SOME TIMES. NEXT TIME HE VOWED TO BE READY! THE NEXT WOMEN THAT TRIED TO TREAT HIM LIKE A NONENTITY HE’S BE READY. HE KNEW IN HIS HEART HE HAD TO OVER COME THESE BARRIERS AND HE HAD A FRIEND THAT TRIED TO GET HIM TO BE A FIGHTER BUT HE CHOOSE TO REMAIN A VISIONARY CAUSE IT WAS THE LEAST OFFENSIVE ROLE. THE BLUEBOOD IN HIM JUST COULD NOT TAKE CHARGE OF THE CLASS IT WAS UNMANNAGEABLE, VERY FUSTRATING. HE WENT BACK TO HIS CAVE AND COMTEMPLATED A NEW LINE OF ATTACK.

JUST THE THROUGHT OF ATTACKING ANY ONE WAS REPUGNENT BUT HE HAD A FRIEND THAT HAD TRIED TO GET THE FIGHTER OUT OF HIM, ANY WAY THE NICE GUY IN HIM PREVAILED AND THE LOTTO RICH KID WON FIRST STRING THE FUNNY GUY LOST TOUCH WITH REALITY. MY GOD THE HOME TOWN RICH KID IS GOING SCORE BIG TIME. SURE HOPE HE DOES NOT SHOOTS HIMSELF IN THE FOOT THOUGHT SOME OBSERVERS.

MEANTIME, HE WILL JUST HAVE TO BE THE SUB FOR FIRST BASE AND NOT THE MAIN EVENT FOR A WHILE MORE. GOD HE WANTED TO JUST PUNCH THAT WOMEN AND RUN OUT ON THE FIELD AN PLAY CAUSE REAL PEOPLE REALLY DID LIKE HIM, AND HIS THOUGHTFULNESS, BUT, HE HAD A PROBLEM ABOUT HOW TO BREAK THROUGH THE CHINEASE WALL AROUND BEING ‘POOR’ WHICH HE WAS’NT HE WAS JUST FURUGLE, AND WHILE HE WAS LIVING ON PARK AVENUE, ‘A JEW KID ON PARK AVENUE’ HE THOUGHT…. I’M FISTY… JUST WOULD NOT WORK…. GEEK DID’NT FIT, ACADEMIC HMMMM…’ .

HE DECIDED JUST TO KEEP ON BEING HIMSELF BUT HIS FRIEND KEPT SAYING “IF YOU WANT DIFFERENT RESULTS YOU GOTTA DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY” THIS MADE HIS CLOSE FRIENDS CRINDGE AND HE GATHERED MORE NICE PEOPLE AROUND HIMSELF AND KEPT AT ARMS LENTH FROM HIS ANGRY FANS AND WAS UNHAPPY HE COULD NOT PREVAIL BEYOND THE WALL.

TRUTH IS, HE NEEDED TO WITHDRAW HIS PLEDGE NOT TO RUN ON THE FIELD. HE’D JUST START PLAYING CAUSE THEN HIS POWER WOULD RETURN AND AT LEAST FOLKS WOULD HAVE TO STOP BLOWING SMOKE IN HIS FACE AND GET REAL. EVEN IF HE HAD THE FIRST BASE POSITION HE’D STILL HAVE TO FACE THE LEADER OF SMOOZE AND CORRECPTION NOW PLAYING ON THE OTHER TEAM.

MEANWHILE, MOST HIS UPSET DISINFRANCHISED UNDER PAID STRUGGLING FANS, ABOUT TO LOSE THEIR HOMES CAUSE THIS WHOLE DANG BALL GAME WAS HEADED INTO THE POORHOUSE. BUT THEY REMAINED STEADFAST HOPING FOR THE BEST OR WORST TO LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD.

’I JUST FEEL BAD WHEN FOLKS ARE DESCRIBING THE SAND AROUND A DUDE THAT’’S SINKING FAST.IN THE MIRE? BUT, HE VOWED HE WOULD KEEP TRYING LIKE THE LITTLE ENGINE THAT COULD. I COULD ONLY SAY A PRAYER FOR THE WHOLE STATE THAT WAS WATCHING THIS GUY FIGHT THE BIG BOYS WITH ALL THEIR LEG UP PITCHING AND FIELDING TECKNIQUES.

It would be laughable if they tried. Hello separation of church and state… actually, that’s the separation the framers intended…

“The catholic church doesn’t recognize divorce…”

Spoken like a non-Catholic. The Catholic church does too recognize divorce… Just not the government’s granting of one… It’s called an annulment…

I do know one thing forsure though I could still out debate Ciresi.ON ANY DAY OF THE WEEK, even if I’m half awake….that statement should take nothing away from Ciresi though.

Franken I would SHUT DOWN immediately….So please everyone give Franken the endorsement, It would be very troubling to Mr. Ciresi to be shut down by me, at least he would get a free education from me in the debates though.

I think what’s going to help Ciresi more is his consistent opposition to the war – as opposed to Franken’s Johnny come lately approach.

I think Ciresi needs to clean-up his answer, but all of the candidates seem to be on the same page.

I don’t agree on Franken doing no better than Mike Hatch. Hatch was very unpopular among DFLers. That didn’t help him in the general election. Remember he did very poorly in the urban core – and DFL candidates need to do well in the urban core to win the state.

It’s good Amy Klobuchar can be on Almanac to get a puff piece interview – she’s not holding any constituent town meetings during the break – she’s kind of like Michele Bachmann that way.

Democrats don’t give a shit about uniting. They’re not even interested in talking to conservatives, much less addressing their concerns. Liberals are just a bunch of chicken-shit liars.

Otherwise a pretty dull and meaningless debate.
