HEAD'S GUIDE TO THE NOVEMBER ERECTION Dear friends, it won't be long now. Before you know it there will be mini-vans with Iowa plates driving 3-mph down main street looking for a place with bottomless glasses of sweet tea and apres ski lounge singing to soothe the soul. YES, IT'S CROWDED HERE BUT IT COULD BE BETTER As you maybe have heard, for the second straight year, Breckenridge is the most visited ski resort in North America. But according to the folks at Vail Resorts, if we don't build more trophy homes, we're screwed. The Head was choking down some free appetizer shrimp at a reception hosted by the VR talking heads when they whined that if they are not allowed to screw up peaks 7 and 8 with ritzy lodges, lifts, and mansions, we will no longer be crowded to the point of insanity. The head listened in rapture as some Realtor with his sweater tucked into his Dockers used scare tactics to sway the audience into believing that if the resorts don't get their way WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE! The Head did manage to suck down plenty of draft beer and stale chips as the propaganda flowed like sewage. BEER BRATWURST AND BAVARIAN FACISTS Here's a contradiction. While the conservative right-wingers are predicting total moral ruin for society if the Medical Marijuana Initiative passes in November, towns all over Colorado are hosting October Fests. Well, that's a great message for kids. Pot to fight the effects of chemotherapy is bad, but putting on leather shorts, dancing to bad music and drinking in the street to the point of puking is good. Don't get me wrong, the head is not afraid of projectile purging, but I do need some bud for my glaucoma. CAN YOU FEEL MY LOVE? I've been getting a lot of hate e-mail bashing me for my negativity. They are right, I suck. But, let it never be said that I don't love! What follows are local luminaries who I love: Breckenridge MAYOR MAMULAR, Green Council guy JIM LAMB, Frisco Councilperson JON KREAMELMEYER, Evil empire spin doctor JIM FELTON, Top Cop and thug-buster JOE MORALEZ. I love those guys! Sorry, I can't leave it there. These are some folks who I think should be molested by a biker gang: Biff America, because he would enjoy that, the State Board of Realtors, most of the cops in Breck, all of the cops in Frisco and Silverthorne, the entire "Rape the Nordic Center" Addams family, Cucumber Casey, "Bury the Bones" Currin, most Golfers and all Snowmobilers. Thanks, I feel better now. VOTE, AND VOTE OFTEN Don't let those blood suckers in the real estate industry confuse the issue. Vote yes on Amendment 24 - the responsible growth initiative. The developers and Realtors don't want it because they will make a little less money, the County Commissioners don't want it because they will have to work a little harder, the Governor doesn't want it because he is a moron. If you don't want to lose every square inch of open space in the towns, the county and the state, VOTE YESS ON AMENDMENT 24! Can I get a witness! VOTE THIS WAY OR "WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE" The following is the Head's political endorsements for the November Erection. Please, please, please, please don't vote for George "Dubya" Bush and Dick Chaney. We need another Bush and Dick in the White House like I need a pair of shoes. For PRESIDENT I like Ralph Nader because he's a rabble rouser. We've never had a president with the name of Ralph, isn't it about time. AMENDMENT 24: Responsible Growth Initiative. You know those blowed dried Realtors with their SUVs? And you know those rich developers who have been killing wildlife and paving the wilderness and nordic centers? And do you know those deadbeat politicos who go golfing with all those developers and Realtors? All those people don't want Amendment 24 - that, my friends, is reason enough for the Head to say YES ON 24 ! AMENDMENT 20: the "dreaded" Medical Marijuana question. You know the Head supports the use of Marijuana for medical purposes only. Use it all the time. Nuff said. VOTE 4 "20." AMENDMENT 22: Background checks at Gun shows. Since I ain't got no trigger finger I really don't want a bunch of morons to be able to 'pack heat.' Don't see what's wrong with that. I'd say VOTE YES ON 22. AMENDMENT 25: Consent to abortion. This bill intentionally slows up the process for a woman's right to choose. If you don't like abortions, don't have one. VOTE NO ON AMENDMENT 25, you 51 percent of the population. On the local Scumbag County ballot there are a couple of initiatives that bear scrutiny. Ya'all in Frisco: Aren't you sick and tired of paying taxes? Then get on out there and vote NO on the new tax in Frisco. Who needs more Corvette shows! We still got Wally World paying the bills. What's this? Nobody knows what the County Commissioners do all day anyway, but here they are go spending all their time we pay for trying to sneak themselves into the question of whether to give the assessor and the sheriff a break with term limits. The thing has been voted down twice in Summit County already! It's like we got Slobodan Milosevic for County Commissioner. Just for that, vote NO on allowing for another term of office for the commissioners. Why don't they do something productive like putting medicinal cannabis on the ballot instead of making poor sick people petition in the streets, or how about the commissioners put a perfect growth initiative on the ballot for us. Vote YES if you think they are all a bunch of crappy jobs anyway. But don't get the wrong idea, you don't have to do everything the Head says. Like drink formaldehyde. Just do us all a favor, if you're gonna wait till the last day before the election and then make up your mind based on the commercials you watch on TV the night before, stay home! We don't need ya messing it up at the polls. Well worms, time for the head to roll off to Buffalo. Have a nice October, but don't forget, "all your private property, is targets for your enemies." Don't die. Love, The Head Send hate mail to the Head at: - We'll pass it on. - --- MAP posted-by: Don Beck
