Parade Trash?

Federal, 2006 Elections Question: How do you avoid your literature from becoming parade trash? Answer:

Kennedy's handouts at Heritagefest Parade in New Ulm, MN

The parade officials did everyone the favor of splitting the Brown County Republicans and Democrats (could not find link for them) floats by one unit. The Democrats must have won the coin flip and they were first and then came the Republicans with their tractor and these handy sports schedules. If you look, the handout has one schedule that leans towards the CD-6 roots, this of course is the St. John's football schedule.

I was waiting to be offered a Klobuchar sticker, but alas I was not offered one and could not use the line I was hoping to use. I did note that the Democratic float was only offering two stickers, one for the local CD candidate, Tim Walz, and the other for Klobuchar. There was not a single piece of literature or sign for Wetterling or Doran, however, on the way home I did spot one of those Kelly Doran headshots along Highway 169 near LeSeuer.

Finally, I'm sure Ms. Klobuchar would be proud of the many uses for her stickers. On the way home we made a quick stop for nourishment (fast food) and two enterprising young women (girls really) stuck one on the unclothed portion of their chests hoping to attract the attention of boys (the trap obviously worked, but don't worry I did not stare, nor did I turn for a second look).
