Sure, on Cape Cod where I lived we had the LGBT hot-spot Provincetown, the hippie-drughead-actual musician hot-spot Hyannis, and the LGBT-hippie-drughead-musician-bicycle fetishist-WHOI-squid fondler hot-spot Woods Hole. And yet "Doonesbury" was always getting censored by the Cape Cod Times, and I never saw a Democratic Party member in office in my town. The place, in reality, was overly religious, politically driven toward the right, and sometimes just plain oppressive.

I'd also love "Senator Jonathan Richman." He'd sing cute policy songs on CSPAN. “Senator Dicky” has a nice ring to it. I’d also love “Senator Jonathan Richman.” He’d sing cute policy songs on CSPAN.

First of all, he's ridiculous. Second, he is a rambling mess of a speaker. He's not bad, but could never be a leader. He is the Snarf of the progressive caucus. No way. First of all, he’s ridiculous.
