RDR logo.IT'S ALL ELIAN - Yeah, George Dubya and Al Bore would love to get some news coverage. If they hadn't had them there protests this last weekend in Washington over the meeting of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. If every newspaper and television broadcast in the country didn't want to put up them cute pictures of that little Cuban boy, Elian Gonzalez. You just cain't compete with a cute kid or dog, can ya', Sanitation Engineers? --- Even if you means to be "Leader of the Free World" with your danged finger on the nuclear button, kids and dogs always get the front page and the first sound bite.

George Dubya and Al Bore would like to get news coverage. But they cain't.

WHY? Cause right now it's all about Elian.

Now me, being the crass bastard that I am, I wanted to cash in on this here trend. I wanted to put a big ole shot of Elian Gonzalez's mug on this here page.

BUT NO-OH-OH! Rod said I wasn't allowed to do that because of his high-falutin' editorial standards. He says the kid has been exploited enough. He went into some tirade about danged kids comin' over from Mexico, under much the same circumstances says he, which don't get enough ink to drown a ant.

Okay.

I can see that. But if G21 wants to be on the danged media map, we need to start joining the feeding frenzy, don't we?

What is wrong with this man? Don't he get what tabloid infotainment is all about, or what?

I know, Sanitation Engineers. Your vote, like mine, falls in the "Or What" category.

You know what, ya'll? I think Elian Gonzalez should run for President of the United States.

No, no! Stop yer laughin'! I'm serious.

We know much more about this six year old boy than we could ever find out about when and where George Dubya did his nose candy. We surely know more about what he is thinkin' than when Al Bore went to that danged Buddhist temple, bag in hand.

We sure as hell can depend on Elian to tell us the truth every single day. Can you say that about the Dubya or Al? I didn't think so.

I say the kid is Presidential timber. He won't be putting cigars in the wrong place, after all. He doesn't even smoke!

*******

Besides, we ends up with a win-win situation.

Elian becomes President, he sure as hell gonnah let his danged Daddy live here in the United States. Ole Fidel Castro, he might even be happy 'cause now he got a fellow countrymen to talk to in the White House.

Conservative Republicans looking to curry favor with the Cubans: Happy.

Democrats looking to get them votes down in Florida: Happy.

George Dubya whose brother is governor of Florida: Happy.

Happy, happy, happy all over the length and breadth of the nation. AND YOU KNOW WHAT? Elian never heard of the atomic bomb.

REMEMBER: It will take more than a few tornadoes to blow away all the Trailer Trash.
