Hickenlooper Perhaps not surprisingly, Vince and I are 1 - 2 for the Google query Hickenlooper blog. I went to the victory rally with Vince, spouse (his), and sister (mine). There was, of course, free beer. More than once I related my impression that the Denver mayoral race could and should be translated into an episode of The Simpsons: It's the story of a skinny, geeky guy who gets into the beer business and has great success in a run-down part of town. The town so loves the beer that it builds its most prosperous neighborhood around his brew pub. Beer flows like water, and the man gets rich and starts to long for something greater. He decides to run for mayor of the town. Initially dismissed as nothing more than a brew man, the candidate hosts a number of election rallies and information sessions. At each he gives away free beer, and soon his popularity begins to swell. With each passing week, more events are organized and more beer is given away. The local papers - easily influenced by free flowing swill - declare the brew man a business man, and readily declare the free beer provider the best man for the job. The election runs its course and the brew man finds himself the next mayor of the town. To celebrate, he gives away free beer.It would be a great episode. Moe or Duff Man could probably play John's part. Surely, it is a story for the ages, and in our time there is no surer honor than to be recognized by The Simpsons - just ask Brazil. |
