A little bird wrote to say that yesterday's Labor Day picnic didn't exactly knock 'em dead:
Not much of a crowd this year.Wow. Of course, if you look at the pictures and see the crowd, you might see why. The idea of spending a glorious Labor Day stuck among a bunch of hectoring, harrying know-it-alls, getting pummeled by the harpies of guiltmongering, all to eat a tofu dog and some soy chips and watch the Womyn's Empowerment Choir syng adaptations of socialist holiday caryls doesn't grab me a lot, either.
Not like last year when Edwards was there . . . the whole island was full of people then!
Oh, did I mention getting hectored by well-off, tax-supported professional nags?
Garrison Keillor says we are seeing the effects of Republicanism in New Orleans: This is what "less government" gets you!N'awlins and Louisiana, of course, had plenty of government; they just didn't know what they were doing.
Oh, yeah - Wild Wendy was there:

Apparently she thought the flood was going to come all the way up the Mississippi to Harriet Island, and that she might need to be visible from the air.
Oh, yeah - good thing there were no UN or Geneva Convention observers present; Ms. Wild apparently sang:
She did the Pawlenty/Beverly Hillbillies song and the Bachman Morality Minute theme (Bachman, Baa-aachman, Baa-aa-aachman).If you've heard the Wild Wendy show...
...pardon me, I had to giggle uncontrollably for a moment. Ed is a better singer than Wild.
So was anyone there? Any more eyewitness accounts?

Those pictures continue to prove how vapid the loony libs are. Keiller has a permanent scowl on his face. The only thing missing is the StarWars cantina music, lightly playing in the background.
Take a close look at slides 22, 23, and 24. Look at the caption. We all know Coleen Rawley doesn't know which office she's running for now....and I guess Patty "Wetterline" might be thinking about changing her name!
Posted by: Dave at September 6, 2005 09:25 AMGee, Mitch. You have become awfully bitter over the last few weeks. Almost to the point it is difficult to read you. It is very out of character for you. I hope everything is OK!

Posted by: Flash at September 6, 2005 10:01 AMNot sure where you're getting that, Flash - I'm not remotely bitter. Other than a periodic burst of job-hunting stress, life is fairly good.

Posted by: slumpyb at September 6, 2005 09:20 PMSo...the woman you are with much be much hotter than Wendy, huh?
Hey, hate Wild Wendy for all you're worth but don't take shots at her on her appearance. She doesn't deserve to be humiliated on the internet on that level.
Posted by: carmelitta at September 6, 2005 10:47 PMHave any of you looked in the mirror lately?
Carmelitta,
We didn't comment on her appearance...just her choice of color in clothing.
Think about it...deer & pheasant hunters don't wear that much orange.
