THE JUGGERNAUT IS ROLLING
I was in downtown Ketchum, Idaho, and I spotted a car with a familiar bumper sticker:
The car's owner, shown below, is Kevin Wade. He will definitely be in my cabinet if I am elected, which appears increasingly likely based on the fact that I did not see a single bumper sticker in Ketchum for any of my opponents.
I don't want to be overconfident, but this race is as good as over.
He IS cuter than Ted.

how cool is that to have dave
stalkingfollowing you and get to meet him?!!? and even in a blue shirt.Posted by: crossgirl | August 03, 2007 at 06:37 PM
Hey, I'm voting for you and I'm a Canadian living in Canadia.

As Goes Ketchum, So Goes Idaho.

I hope you told Kevin about the blog!!
Posted by: Guin | August 03, 2007 at 06:42 PM
Not a bad campaign idea - put bumper stickers on cars, then ask
hunksnice people to pose next to them, pretending they're voting for you.Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | August 03, 2007 at 06:42 PM
crossgirl, that's exactly what I thought!
What a special day for Kevin!
This is great. :)

The Juggernaut should do well in the Idaho Caucus!
Posted by: CJrun | August 03, 2007 at 06:45 PM
Annie, Annie, Annie....
This is not the time for cynicism. Tell Dave you're sorry you said that. :)
Posted by: Eleanor | August 03, 2007 at 06:46 PM
What Dave didn't tell you was he noticed the car parked at the side of the road after the cop pulled Kevin over for making love to a bumper sticker.
Posted by: SW | August 03, 2007 at 06:49 PM
cg - I hate to burst your bubble, but that shirt is gray. He broke his streak.
Posted by: DeskDiva | August 03, 2007 at 06:53 PM
Does that blue t-shirt say "US Drinking Team?"
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | August 03, 2007 at 06:55 PM
Dang!
Now I gotta get a bumper sticker, so when Dave visits beautiful downtown Beulahla, ND ... um ... aw ... skip it ...
Posted by: OtheU(manity) | August 03, 2007 at 07:22 PM
Tell the truth, Dave, you
picked him upmet him in a bar, right?Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | August 03, 2007 at 07:25 PM
Whoo Hooo...including me, that makes two Canadian votes. I feel a landslide coming on...
I predict Dave will end every State of the Union address with...BOOGER!!

Annie, I thought it was Idaho - Famous Potatoes.
Posted by: Just Ducky | August 03, 2007 at 07:35 PM
I'll bet that made his

Oh, wait...

JD - it was. I was tryin' to qwack you up.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | August 03, 2007 at 07:42 PM
Annie, you did. I just returned from exercising and my brain is fried. Please disregard my previous post, and pass a nice, cold blogarita my way.

Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | August 03, 2007 at 07:56 PM
Uh-oh...the blog's playing games again. Richard's post appears twice. I coulda sworn I saw one from Bethie that disappeared.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | August 03, 2007 at 07:58 PM
Oooh, Annie thanks! Drinks at the beach with a hunky waiter. Yummm.

Richard's just enjoying his new keyboard.
Posted by: Just Ducky | August 03, 2007 at 08:09 PM
Ack! I know I've managed to double-post in the past due to a flaky connection, but I'm quite sure that's not what happened this time. Really.
Posted by: Richard the Weasel-Hearted | August 03, 2007 at 08:10 PM
I think Richard is just lobbying...
Let's kill him.
Oh, wait, this is not the PMS blog, is it...
Posted by: Punkin Poo | August 03, 2007 at 08:12 PM
Nah, JD, as soon as I realized the model wasn't included I lost interest. Hope the silliness has stopped?
Posted by: Richard the Weasel-Hearted | August 03, 2007 at 08:12 PM
*snork* @ Punkin!
Posted by: Just Ducky | August 03, 2007 at 08:13 PM

TAKE TWO:
Love and joy. Peace and, um, quiet.
Posted by: Punkin Poo | August 03, 2007 at 08:13 PM
I think the blog has been drinking. Those were hiccups.
Posted by: Just Ducky | August 03, 2007 at 08:14 PM
oh, dave, ole buddy, ole pal....i'm pretty sure you need a page or an junior aide or something in far off in the middle of nowhere idaho. go back to the stuffed bear and wait, i'll be shipping you a teenager.

(Frantically racking brain...) What do they know?? DC area, check. Inside Beltway, check. Virginia, check. Anything else? Think!
Nope, I guess I'm fairly safe.
Posted by: Richard the Weasel-Hearted | August 03, 2007 at 08:20 PM
Anybody else think Idaho must be really dull? I mean, Dave has all this posing and stalking time....
Posted by: Punkin Poo | August 03, 2007 at 08:23 PM
*snork* @ CJ!
Punkin - some of us could use some 'dull.'
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | August 03, 2007 at 08:27 PM
Annie - But isn't that why you have the Yankees?
*ducks*

Eek!
*flaps away before Annie gets her gun*
Posted by: Just Ducky | August 03, 2007 at 08:37 PM
Annie, I've been sure that I was posting on the right post before, and it shows up on another! I don't think the beer can account for each time this happened. I'm quite sure of it. Fairly sure. Semi sure. Hey, it could happen, dammit.
Posted by: Bethie | August 03, 2007 at 08:37 PM
JD - you'd better skeet-daddle, or waddle, as it were.
Punkin - shush - El is breathlessly waiting for A-Rod to hit his 500th home run. Until that happens, nothing else matters.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | August 03, 2007 at 08:39 PM
Bethie - I saw it - just a word or two, then....nothing!
And I for one have not been smoking in Ketchum.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | August 03, 2007 at 08:40 PM
I think I found footage of blurk's "accident"!
Posted by: CJrun | August 03, 2007 at 08:42 PM
Anyone know how I can get one of those fine bumper stickers?
Posted by: Jeannie | August 03, 2007 at 08:50 PM
Uh-oh. that bumper sticker is on an Exploder. Could lose a voter at any time.
Dave, haven't you run out of things to do in Idaho yet?
Posted by: pete | August 03, 2007 at 08:53 PM
Jeannie, that would be from previous campaigns; this is the current model.
Posted by: CJrun | August 03, 2007 at 08:56 PM
CJ, that was unbelievable. I hurt just watching it.
Posted by: Just Ducky | August 03, 2007 at 08:57 PM
The video, of course, not the bumper sticker.
Posted by: Just Ducky | August 03, 2007 at 08:58 PM
Yeah, I maybe shoulda put a warning on it, but I wouldn't have posted it if he hadn't walked (staggered) away.
Posted by: CJrun | August 03, 2007 at 09:18 PM
I would have hated to be the next guy attempting a jump, after watching that. It's incredible that he was able to get up and leave under (mostly) his own steam.

good point. dave, when you moved to washington, i'll ship up the other two boys. consider it a campaign contribution.

According to the LA Times, he's got a liver contusion, which of course, WBAGNFAbeerB.

I'll bet that made his day month!

Posted by: Richard Ferret-Hearted | August 03, 2007 at 09:23 PM
Yes, I am watching The Game, Yankees are ahead a lot, and every time
my sweetheartA-Rod comes to bat the crowd goes wild - and so do I.A couple of hits but no homer so far.
*sigh*
Posted by: Eleanor | August 03, 2007 at 09:31 PM
I'm trying to watch here, too. Poor Yay-Rod.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | August 03, 2007 at 09:36 PM
In the game I'm watching, Pedro Cerrano has just homered after uttering the magic words, "F--- you, Jobu, I do it myself!"
Posted by: WriterDude | August 03, 2007 at 09:41 PM
Thanks CJ, but how do I get one?
Posted by: Jeannie | August 03, 2007 at 09:46 PM
anybody here know what time it is.... In Idaho?
Posted by: Mofaux | August 03, 2007 at 09:47 PM
Does anybody really care?
Posted by: ubetcha | August 03, 2007 at 09:49 PM
Actually, CJ, you'll notice the bot (?) went the bureaucrats one better and posted in quadruplicate (Mr. Ferret's odd echo is someone else's doing).

Mofaux: In Ketchum, it's MDT. The northern 2/3 of the panhandle (Lewiston, Moscow, CD'A) is PDT.
Now ask me what the capital of PA is... ;-)

Harrisburg? What do I win? Can I pinch Stevie's butt on the way up the steps?

Posted by: ubetcha | August 03, 2007 at 09:58 PM
ubetcha - you were supposed to ask WD what the capital was, not answer the question.
Besides, the correct answer is "P" and "A."
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | August 03, 2007 at 09:59 PM
Sorry - I was just followin' up the steps.
Posted by: ubetcha | August 03, 2007 at 10:00 PM
Yes, ubetcha, you may. That's you're long-awaited prize for the prom photo contest, or whatever it was.
Posted by: SW | August 03, 2007 at 10:00 PM
It was me, just a little while ago, or maybe 30 years, but I stopped counting.
I can still throw a mean tarot.

Not really, E. On the one hand, I'm glad he's gone. On he other, I know he'll be back and I may have to kill him.
Posted by: ubetcha | August 03, 2007 at 10:09 PM
JUST KIDDING! He's my best friend (40+ years) and manages to piss me off when he's here at his "home away from home." As in Bill Withers, IYCMD.

Posted by: ubetcha | August 03, 2007 at 10:15 PM
Wow, ubetcha. Sorry. That's tough, regardless. Time to really rally, girlfriend.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | August 03, 2007 at 10:18 PM
Oh - I looked back up and I must say it appears to me that Dave is having too much fun with that hunkoid. That explains the sandals.
Posted by: ubetcha | August 03, 2007 at 10:18 PM
I believe it was about rolling juggernauts over the bodies of sig-ots.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | August 03, 2007 at 10:19 PM
Annie, thank you for reminding me I need to use my mixer more. I just pour vodka and cranberry into a glass with no garnish. Time to kick it up a notch.

ubetcha - my blender is a lot like my ex - screechy, lots of noise, and just sits there grinding away.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | August 03, 2007 at 10:25 PM
No home runs tonight for A-Rod, but a double and a sac fly.
We were at the game Wednesday night and it would be amazing if he could hit at all with everyone standing and yelling and THOUSANDS of flashbulbs going off at every pitch.
But that's why they pay him the big bucks.
Like Dave.
What was bad about that guy who fell was that the local Eyebrowitness News warned us it would be tough to watch, then showed it...FOUR TIMES!
Really.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | August 03, 2007 at 10:37 PM
Holy cow Annie. I'll send you the one I just kicked out but he comes with a harem. That, in itself, sucks. Meanwhile, back at the blender . . .
Posted by: ubetcha | August 03, 2007 at 10:41 PM
Jeff - I saw it a couple of times and can't believe he walked away. It looked to me like his feet should have snapped off. Dude.
Posted by: ubetcha | August 03, 2007 at 10:43 PM
Oh, and Eleanor, it only counts if the Red Sox come back. They look good now but now's nail biting time. I've been a fan too long to trust those barstards.
Posted by: ubetcha | August 03, 2007 at 10:47 PM
Two simuls and the bot is after my ass. I guess that's better than a sharp stick, but only marginally.
Posted by: ubetcha | August 03, 2007 at 10:50 PM
TESTING THE BOT
is marginally a word?
Posted by: ubetcha | August 03, 2007 at 10:51 PM
OK, as you were. He got me twice last time. The boredom stops here. As you were.
Posted by: ubetcha | August 03, 2007 at 10:53 PM
Jeannie; all of those suggestions work, as would have moving 'Back' through the original link.
It's right there up near the top of the page, DaveBarry.com
Ubetcha, hang on there. I'll bug you for 40 years, but it will take some time.
Posted by: CJrun | August 03, 2007 at 10:55 PM
The bot is apparently taking a nap after all its hard work butchering things.
Apparently, marginally is indeed a word.
