I had not wanted to send this piece witout making some revisions and
somehow pushed wrong buttons, etc. and off it went. So sorry for the
repeat, the no signature, etc., etc., etc.
-----------------------------------
I called Rick after reading the Erickson piece because I thought the
reference was to the city being run by women. I have been known to call
Jackie and Sharon, Queen Jackie and Queen Sharon depending on the occasion.
I also have an article written in some National magazine about the Women in
power in Minneapolis with the councilwomen, mayor and city coordinator all
standing around something and the article talking about the unusual sight
of so many women in political leadership in one city. And Wizard is right
they love the floor and work of reining in the herds. And if this were the
interpretation it could mean all men but the Megan Thomas posts ring true
about the "gay" communities participation in all of this. Those same "men"
whomever they are all have always really worked hard for me too.
I have lots and lots of comments in my analysis of the 6th but I am trying
to lay low these days. But most of my thoughts say it is not a pretty
picture. I saw lots of garbage and mud slung not only today but the past
six weeks in the 6th.
The low voter turnout still seems to be lingering in most of the city. 3
and 13 were very meager in attendance.
And if looks could kill there are about 5 DFL men that are out for my hide.
All of the women at least still smile and say hello whether they like me or
not. Very interesting for a "junkie" like me.
