Politics-- COME ONNNNNNNN!!!!!!!.

All the news that gives you fits. Really, as Rob Cowddry would say on The Daily Show with John Stewart, COME ONNNNNNNN!!!!!!!. Being involved in local politics is nuts. Here I am running for re-election as Sr. Bldg Rep ( a position that I have served faithfully and thanklessly for over fifteen years) in my school and for the 2nd year in a row an unqualified young buck is looking to usurp my position. I put out a policy statement that said since I have no kids at home nor coach sports that I have more time to serve. This was twisted by the spin machine to read that I was anti coaches and anti parents, COME ONNNNNNNN!!!!!!!. I run the scoreclock for virtually every team and am more involved with the coaches than any other teacher. COME ONNNNNNNN!!!!!!!.

This upstart has virtually no experience yet he is trying to cause dissension in the ranks by starting this young vs. old nonsense!?!? COME ONNNNNNNN!!!!!!!. He was hand picked by a former president who was known for her nebulous and self serving unilateral decisions and thinks he's the golden boy and the heir apparent. COME ONNNNNNNN!!!!!!!. This former president's last decision created a cushy administrative dean job for her and now she (an administrator) is giving advice to run our UNION COME ONNNNNNNN!!!!!!!.

I told this pipsqueak upstart usurper that if he should sway the vox populi to vote for him that I would not help him. He spun this to mean that I was anti union for not helping him!??! COME ONNNNNNNN!!!!!!!. If you need help doing the job, don't run for the position. Two years ago I asked this young buck to be a junor rep and I would train him to take over when I retire in June 2006 but Mr. Little Bigshot did not want to be trained. He's perfect the way he is. COME ONNNNNNNN!!!!!!!.

This upstart was picked by the aforementioned nebulous president to be on the "prestigious" negotiations committee two years ago. He missed half of the meetings and is now calling anyone who says he missed any meeting a bald faced liar!?!? COME ONNNNNNNN!!!!!!!. Last year he lost to me by a surprising single vote and now thinks he's hot stuff or the cat's pajamas or that his stuff doesn't stink. COME ONNNNNNNN!!!!!!!.The two deans who pumped him up last year can not vote this year so there goes at least two votes for him. Yet somehow he's convinced a number of younger teachers to feel sorry for him. If he should win he's on his own. I will be like Puntius Pilate meets Dr. Hunter s. Thompson

I have half a mind to let him win so that the vox populi will find out how inept and unquaified he really is. If it were not for the few veterans who know how unions should work I would let the NewBees have their young buck and laugh my butt off as it all falls to pieces. COME ONNNNNNNN!!!!!!!. After all I work at AGHS and I can do absolutely nothing for my last year. It would be far easier for me to let someone else deal with all the BS and agida, but I feel responsible to the union and those people who care. Well--the election is in two weeks. I refuse to curry favor and lie like that upstart weasel to win. It's like a baseball game. Would you start someone on your varsity team who has not played for two years and missed practices? COME ONNNNNNNN!!!!!!!.Of course not. Yet this is what the NewBees plan to do. It is out of my hands. Either way I win. If I should win, I will gladly share my wisdom and experience in serving those of the vox populi and training a worthy successor from one of my junior reps who has gone about things in the right way. I would want the union to succeed, not suck as it would under my very unworthy opponent. If I should lose, I will feel sorry for the union faithful but "Obla di obla da. life goes on" for me.

There is no comparison to my experience and to his hubris. COME ONNNNNNNN!!!!!!!. If people are logical instead of wogical, I will win by a landslide. If they are hypnotized and are proselytized by this young buck, then they will get what they deserve. COME ONNNNNNNN!!!!!!!. It will be like electing a president who has killed thousands of your sons in a war that should not have been fought, looking for WMDs that were never found, driving up gas and oil prices and hurting the average J. Q. Public in the middle class pocketbook. People would not elect such a shallow and inept person as president would they? COME ONNNNNNNN!!!!!!!.
