Santa Kerry is Coming to Town!
September 09, 2004So. Y'all are voting, ain't ya? Yeah. I'd vote. Only I can't. Since I'm not a citizen and all that jazz. Don't feel bad for me or nuthin' though cuz I just happen to be a proud citizen of the good old United Kingdom, you know, over there in England and shit? Like, where all the British literature and castles and Cadbury's chocolate is from?
Yeah. So. Since I'm not a citizen, I can't vote. Please don't give me the "why aren't you an American citizen, aren't you proud of your country, don't you love all that freedom even though you have to work sixdaysaweekjusttostayafloatgoamericaworldsuperpower
wecouldkickbritain'sassanydayyadamnlimeyperson" speech. I've heard it many times before... besides, it's really not the point, now is it?
Nope. The point is, "Hey! You should read this article I wrote (and never finished) about the John Kerry thang in Greensburg."
thanks.

I swear I took the same pictures of the same people you did. I was amazed at the number of people in Greensburg. I didn't have a golden ticket to get into Wonka's factory though, I had to climb the stairs to the top of the parking garage over the bus station and peer over the treetops and the corner church in order to get a peek. And I didn't even get to see Ben Affleck.

I did, however, get to see my friend Amber, who was the confiscator of about 300 umbrellas that day.
My ticket ended up not helping anyway! And man it really was amazing how many people turned out, wasn't it? that day is definitely a memorable one in my own personal Greensburg history. do you live in Greensburg? I got a free umbrella from that.. there were two tables full of abandoned umbrellas after the spectacle, and um, I needed one. :c)
