Mickey Mouse

For someone who condemns
politics as "Mickey Mouse," his
description of the almost riotous JP
convention is filled with he rhetoric
of a political admirer. "Could these
wearied veterans of the campaign
trail (the JP) still carry the victory
banner as they had just a year ago
in last spring's election?" If his
verbosity was an attempt at
sarcasm, one cannot be sure after
reading other columns of his (see
the mashed potato story). The JP
has not won since last spring.

And his mention of finances -
yes, the spending limit is different
for obvious reasons. In fielding its
"best men" (their only men) the JP
sacrificed the added expense
allotment. Of course, the VPP will
spend little more than the JP,
anyway!
