No Rock And Roll Fun

STUNTS ON THE STUMP: Isn't democracy great? Marilyn O'Grady (like Dr. Fox, she insists on the "Doctor") has cooked up a splendid idea to try and raise her profile in the current election race: she's taking on Bruce Springsteen. Obviously, her unpleasant policies (anti-gay unions, anti-abortion, anti-all them strangers from foreign countries coming in to blow up god fearing Americans, anti-anti-anti) are only going to attract attention from other people who wear burlap sacks and sleep with their hands outside of the blankets at night, so she's cooked up a scheme to try and boost her profile: Ban The Boss.

"He thinks making millions with a song-and-dance routine allows him to tell you how to vote. Here's my vote: Boycott the Boss. If you don't buy his politics, don't buy his music," the ad says after detailing a handful of allegations against Springsteen regarding his lack of support for former President Reagan and incumbent President Bush.

Interestingly, O'Grady kicks off her explanation of why she should be sent to the Senate with details of how she's done eye-surgery and runs a small business. We're not entirely sure why Springsteen's biography (generating massive sums towards the nation's GDP, employing thousands of people across the year on live shows, etc) should be considered unworthy of making able to suggest an opinion on the election, while O'Grady seems convinced that having corrected a few squints means she's the right stuff for making laws. But thanks for pointing out Springsteen's "lack of support" for Reagan - that makes him seem a whole lot more attractive as a political spokesperson to us, if he's been doing it so long.
