Philly for Head

I was at the local Philly for Change picnic yesterday. These are the local Dean people, and a very nice bunch they are.
But you know me. I had to shake things up.
A bunch of us were sitting under a shady tree and I started an impassioned speech about how Sixties politics were infused with sex, drugs and rock n’ roll, and that’s why they were so popular. That politics, ultimately, was about getting laid, just like being in a band. (And did I mention I’m starting a band? But I digress.)
In the earliest days of my blog, I told them, I encouraged the Democrats to stop avoiding the Clinton “scandal” and embrace it proudly. “I wrote that the Republicans are the party of angry white men, and pointed out that no men is ever angry after a blowjob,” I told them.
“Unless it turns out the person who gave them the blowjob was another man, and the other man didn’t know it,” Steve said.
“Well, yeah. But as long as his friends don’t know, he’s okay. But generally speaking, no one’s angry after a blowjob.”
Everyone agreed.
“So my idea is, the Democrats should label themselves “the blowjob party.” I think our ranks would expand as a result. Who doesn’t like blowjobs?” I said.
“Philly for Blowjobs,” someone proposed. “I like it.”
Jen said she didn’t like the gender inequity. “How about ‘Philly for Head’?” she suggested. Someone made a motion, and it passed unanimously. (Steve also came with a good idea for a logo. T-shirts will be available.)
Then it was on to fundraising. “Okay, here’s my idea,” I said. “In keeping with the whole Philly for Head philosophy, I suggest ‘The Girls of DFA (Democracy for America) Lime-Green Jello Wrestling.’ The really great thing is, Republican guys would come to see it, so we’d be taking their money. And we can sell a video.”
“Why lime?” someone said. “Why not blackberry?”
“Too dark. Wouldn’t look as good under the lights,” I said.
“What about cherry?”
Someone said it looked too much like blood.
Anyway, the rest is details. The important thing is, it’s democracy in action. American ideals aren’t dead, after all.
Susie,
Is this another subtle fundraising appeal? It seems to be along the lines of the famous National Lampoon …We’ll Kill This Dog cover. “Donate or Susie Madrak will have to resort to Jello wrestling to survive”.

Don’t forget the wardrobes. (12/10/04–Memory Lane)
How about “Donate so that you can see Susie jello wrestling.”
Also, the jello should not be lime green (makes the flesh look yucky), bit rather orange or yellow-orange.
The UBERBLONDE is back and she is SMOKIN!!
Way to go, Susie, youre hitting your stride now.
