Farmerart Dodges Not A Bullet But A Howitzer Shell
Back in early September I was chilling out in the local watering hole with the resident rednecks. I had just returned from a visit in Toronto with my Million Dollar Saloon sweetie and I was feeling especially mellow. Conversation turns to the upcoming county elections. The boys tell me to run for county councilor. I use the word "fuck" in as many contexts as possible to convey my feelings about this proposition.<p>
"Another table full of beer" I say to the biker owner of our fine drinking establishment.<p>
A couple of rounds later the subject arises again. I use the same word again but in capital letters - "FUCK YOU".<p>
"More beer please, Godfrey".<p>
Do you see where this is going? It seems that sometime during that unfortunate evening I actually signed the nomination papers!!<p>
I lived in terror for three weeks that I would be elected. I couldn't stand the tension so I left for my condo in Vancouver. I did vote for my opponent in the advance poll before I left.<p>
Last Monday was civic election day in Alberta - my opponent creams me: I lose magnificently. I joke about this but I do take civic responsibilities seriously. Is it time for farmerart to join AA?

<p> The second time (same job-she didn't run again) I was pitted against a career poltician in the midst of a sexual harassment lawsuit. Still, he dug up all my dirty laundry, aired it in public, then tried to pin some of his shit on me (I actually had to appear at a commissioner meeting and produce proof that I didn't commit the acts). Anyway, I won by a margin of three to one. I only served that one term. </p>
