Who needs a Connection or Authenticity? 
posted by John at 7:19 PM

So we had a parade today. The kind with bands (Go Pirates!!) and guys with tractors (there was a VERY cool old John Deere with a huge flywheel on the side facing me) and Shriners in tiny cars (LOTS of them this year... like, LOTS of them) and local dignitaries being dignified in classic American cars - old Plymouth convertables, late 50's 'vettes, Pontiacs, Fords, etc... with two notable exceptions:
1: Rob Patridge (current Representative of District 6), in his family's Rolls convertable ("PATCO" vanity plates) and
2: Sal Esquivel (appointed state senator & current GOP Candidate for District 6) walking (that part is good) in front of

a 10 passenger limo (sim to the one pictured here). It was actually amusing, since his sign was kinda undersized for the vehicle. Might have worked better on a Miata.
Can you say disconnect? This is who represents you, Medford.


I propose we vote for someone who drives something that the bulk of us a: could or b: could (in a pinch for a parade) get a friend to loan us. Just so there is actually a chance that the person can authenically represent us.

If you are curious, I drive a '97 Nissan extra cab, featuring oxidizing paint and usually sporting an aluminum canopy I found in the Nickel. The pirogue that is sometimes on it, I built from a $65 kit (plans and ribs) I got online.
