A Peppy Little Red And Blue Stew

I know you all come to FlasshePoint for the very best in insightful political coverage and commentary. In this election year, it’s the one place you can go to for the latest poop scoop. And since the Democratic National Convention is going to be held here next month, you can be sure that FlasshePoint will be Pooping Johnny on the Spot for all the timely, exciting news you crave. That’s what we do here. Don’t let anyone ever tell you otherwise.
So today, we’ll get things warmed up by going over the current political climate here in the city. Things are at a fever pitch! Why just today, I witnessed a campaign rally outside the Fox 31 studios for Democratic senate candidate Mark Udall… no, wait, I guess it’s for his opponent, Republican Bob Schaffer… no, wait, it’s Udall, definitely Udall. Waitaminute, what are all those Schaffer guys doing there? They seem to be intermingling, and even sharing water bottles and stuff. The two groups of supporters aren’t even on opposite sides of the street! Okay, just WTF is going on here??? Every once in a while, one side will erupt with appropriate chants like “U-DALL SEN-ATE” and then the other side will counter with their chant. This is like some freaking pep rally from hell, where cheerleaders for both teams are in the gym, trying to out-do each other’s routines. This is way too civilized. I want to see some fisticuffs. The only sign of contentiousness is the two guys with pouty faces dressed up in “Where’s Waldo” gear off on the other side of the street, brandishing signs that say something about “Where Was Mark Udall When…”. I really like their costumes and wonder if they’ll sell me one. Those hats look like they would keep me pretty warm in the winter.
Hmmm…. maybe both groups are getting together to protest biased Fox News coverage? No, that doesn’t make any sense. I guess it has something to do with the debate between the two candidates being filmed today at the Fox studios today. That’s the most likely explanation, dull as it is…
If only I had snagged me some T-shirts.
Latre.
Pet Peeve of the Day: I can tell that it’s going to be kinda hard to get around the city for the next month…
