Anticipating a new era

Marty:
Hey there, Billy Boy, just wanted to be the first to congratulate you for entering the JD Drew Era …

 

---

Marty:
Or rather the Nancy Drew Era. Bwahhaaha. I guess this makes Theo the Ned Nickerson of the oh so cute couple.

 

---

Bill:
Jeez, Marty, as local chairman of the Hilary Clinton fan club and election office, I figured you'd have more important mattahs to attend to just now.

 

---

Marty:
Just like you to try and change the subject, Callaghan, when I'm starting to sweat your ass over another round of Red Sox impotence.

 

---

Bill:
C'mon, Marty, you know Obama has Hillary on the run.

 

---

Marty:
Typical of a Red Sox fan to ignore the facts. Senator Clinton leads Senator Obama in every poll.

 

---

Bill:
Yeah, but, Marts, the momentum has shifted. It's like Game 4 of the 2004 ALCS and Obama is the Red Sox.

 

---

Marty:
Still clinging to the past, eh, Bill? Sad.

 

---

Bill:
OK. Let me get this straight, Marty. You're the guy who's so Clinton blinded that you're available 24/7 for a little yodeling in Hillary's valley while you let Bill "order out for pizza" with your wife, but I'm the one who's living in the past?

 

---

Bill:
It's time you step out of your insulah New York enclave for a moment, Marts, and realize the Clinton's are yestahday's news in politics. People want to move on, fresh faces, fresh ideas.

 

---

Marty:
Obama's got baggage.

 

---

Bill:
Wishful thinking, buddy. Get ready for Total Obamination in 2008. I smell a 50-state sweep.

The problem with Edwards is he just doesn't excite people the same way Obama does. And that whole "I'm for the poor/two Americas" thing when he's a rich trial lawyer is going to get shredded by the other Dem candidates I suspect.

Also, as far as experience, he only has a few years on Obama, and, like I said before, even a guy/gal with 40 years as a Senator doesn't really mean jack in terms of executive, president style experience.

Any bets that 08 will be when New Hampshire finally loses it's status as primary barometer with the first primary?

Lots of talk of Cali and Florida moving up to the same date as NH.

Jeez, enough with the politico talk. Let's talk about my runs.

After 4:30, we can hit the beer in the frig at work. Today, some advertising genius stocked it with St. Pauli Girl.

I haven't had that nasty, export-only crap since college. But what the hell, right? It's free.

40 minues later I remember WHY I haven't had it since college. Run-to-the-john-explosive shits, that's why.

Have a great weekend everybody!

To get back to the strip, while I was originally shocked that Marty was a Democrat, I think it's a pretty inspired creation. I remember how disappointed I was when I found out Jon Stewart was a big Yankees fan.

I have to say, that considering that Steinbrenner was convicted of illegal contributions to Nixon (not Trot), the fundraising for the Democrats that Theo and the trio have done adds another fun level to the rivalry.

Bob - Thanks for sharing. But if you want to drink beer in a green bottle, you are playing with fire.

Glad I missed out on the politico merry go round today.

With Sheigh Drew, we have hit the better half trifecta.
