[Newspoetry] Newspoet Nominated: "It" Stuck to Man

[Bill Wendling]

For real?!? Whoo Hoo!

Congratulations, Danielle!

Also sprach Joe Futrelle:
} Newspoet Danielle Chynoweth was nominated by a decisive 61% majority
} the Democratic candidate for City Council of The People's Republic of
} Urbana, IL in Ward 4, the notorious hotbed of such fringe radicals as
} Jayne "Viva Fidel" Burkhardt.
} 
} Danielle ousted incumbent -- and favorite of Urbana mayor Tod
} Satterthwaite -- Carolyn Kearns, whose campaign had, in its final
} days, swerved violently between uninspired and nasty, as if piloted by
} a SUV-driver reading their email on their cel phone in rush hour
} traffic.
} 
} Tod and John eye each other woozily through a haze of scotch and soda.
} John has been matching Tod shot for shot, on the city, and they're
} both getting pretty fucked up.  "How could they do this to me?"  Tod
} whines as Wal-Mart and Coke ads flicker in the background, "They're
} just like the damn LaRouchies, but worse -- at least the LaRouchies
} didn't want to turn Urbana into a giant hippie vegetarian coop.  I'll
} be laughed out of Champaign County!"
} 
} "Come on Tod," says John, topping off Tod's shot glass, "you gotta
} think this through.  Hey, maybe you chould nail her on some kind of
} sex scandal, huh?  Then we'd really be playing ball with the big boys,
} just like in Washington D.C., eh?"
} 
} "I think you're on to something, my friend.  I think you're on to
} something."
} 
} Down Broadway and west a little the fringe radicals nestle into their
} 61% for a nice long winter sleep.
