ferreting out the real issues
Written at: 17:53 05 Mar, 2002
If you are at all like me, you are convinced that the American media has a severe bias. For instance, while CNN may tell you that Californians are voting in the primaries March 5, they don't say a thing about ferrets. And I find that a bit odd.
I mention this because Girlfriend Julia recently pointed out to me that there is a nut running for California lieutenant governor - a ferret nut!
And he has a web site - www.ferretsanon.com - which proclaims itself "the original Ferrets Anonymous website". This is not to be confused with the original Ferrets Anonymous novella, which is at www.ferretsanonovella.com.
And what would you find if you yourself visisted good ol' FerAnon? Why, the rantings of a man who's crazy! Crazy for ferrets, that is.
You can listen to Pat Wright - seen here about to sneeze on his beloved fuzzy Webster - talk about why he is running for lieutenant governor in a tale that not only involves an admission of brandishing a knife at a police officer, but also has something to do with red shoes.
But wait, there's more. There's also a logo that I think incorporates the silhouette of a squirrel, and an unexplained picture of dog and a ferret, linked to from the front page with the text "Dog Meets Ferret".
Seriously, California, isn't it time you got rid of the multi-issue candidates who screw things up all the time? Haven't you seen the error of your ways?
I ask all Californians to put an end to pork barrel politics - and begin a new season of ferret tube politics.
Thank you, and good night.

I am just waiting for the documentary of Pat Wright's campaign kickoff/ferret party that the website promises. I hope it's everything I'm imagining.
