OK, the election is over, Fallujah?s being attacked, Thanksgiving?s ?round the corner and the goose is getting fat. If you haven?t got a penny, a ha? penny will do. If you haven?t got a ha? penny, well, ? YOU!
Yes, people are upset in the world as well as our fair community. Now, more than ever, it?s time to pause and reflect. It?s also time to look forward to what might come to pass in the future. In order to gather a sampling of what our fellow citizens are thinking about, I ventured out on the streets to query and to evoke a wide variety of thoughts. Here are their voices?
?We all have to move to a central position, now.?
?I?m not alone. Thank-you, Jesus.?
?I?m going to Canada.?
?I voted for Kerry, before I voted against him.?
?Carville says we have to start over.?
?What happened to the Boston Red Sox win/Kerry wins theory?
?Did you know that whenever a state went red, the twins took a shot??
?Looks like it?s going to be the same thing again ? eight months of snow and four months of construction.?
?Well, I think since most of the kids are in the south county and Huffman wants to close the airport, we should build the YMCA at the airport and move the airport to the Park ?N Ride with runways headed north.?
?You know who the most desirable woman in the world is to men right now? Suha Arafat, that?s who. Old ?ferret-face? signed over $6.5 billion to her and then slipped into a coma?Love Her!?
?My bad, I waited in line for an hour to vote and someone gave me a flu shot.?
?My Idaho Power bill just doubled.?
?Ketchum should change its name to Sioux City.?
?Sorry, we don?t have restrooms for patrons, but you can use the ones at the Visitors Center right down the ? oh, yeah, it?s gone.?
?Winners shouldn?t brag, losers shouldn?t whine.?
(Overheard at the polls on Election Day) ?We may have come here as Democrats and Republicans, but we better leave as Americans. We?re all in this boat together, and a long way from shore.?
Here?s hoping you and your friends and family have a special Thanksgiving this year. We?re all in it together. Nice talking to you?
