So, last night Alberta had a big provincial election. As I write this I don’t know who won. And I don’t really care. Hell, I’m not entirely certain who was running. I think that Stelmach guy was one of them. Ralph Klein probably wasn’t. All I really know is that not one of these Janus-Faced politicians have expressed any opinions whatsoever regarding the things that are important to me. Like a case of Blue Beaver Beer in every fridge in Alberta; or spiny poplar tree fruit in everyone’s pantry. These are the sorts of issues that really concern the common man.
I heard on the radio that a less than 50% turnout was expected. I am not surprised. These politicians live in their glass houses with ivory towers that the taxpayers bought for them, but they’re totally out of touch. What they should do is come on down to The Redneck, buy a few rounds of Beavers and just listen to what the people are saying. Don’t campaign, don’t blow smoke up our a$$es; just listen and drink. I wouldn’t expect one of them to actually participate in a Monday Night Brawl, but maybe they could send in one of their underlings.
So this is my challenge to any politician listening reading my words; if one of your underlings can capture our vacant singles Barroom Brawl title; I will give you my full endorsement right here at The Redneck Bar and Grill. And I’ll name a sandwich after you on our menu.
Hey! Me and Gerri want a sandwich named after us!
I am thinking of something with both ham and cheese.
