Question for Rich “The Ant” Girard: You’re an expert on voter registration. I’m thinking of moving to the 2nd Congressional District in the spring and throwing my hat in the ring for the Republican nomination for Congress. As a world-renowned expert on manufactured media phenomena, I should give Marilinda Garcia a tough time as she seeks the Big Brass Ring that is the GOP nod. With Annie Kuster’s recent sharp turn to the right, I’d be the only liberal in the race. My candidacy should bring out the independents as well as disgruntled Democrats. Here’s the question: Everyone knows that Dan Garthwaite is shacked up with Tammy Simmons at her digs on Parker Street (thank god for the homestead exemption in bankruptcy law, eh?), yet Danny Boy ran for the State House of Representatives listing his domicile as “Porc Central” (the Free Staters’ rooming house) in a state district other than the one he actually physically inhabits. Now, is an address in the 2nd District just enough? I have a very close relative in the 2nd with a spacious, finished basement where I can hang my hat, but can I claim residency there while continuing to physically occupy the old homestead to keep out squatters, prying self-styled snoops, etc.? The “two domiciles at the same time” seems to work well with Dan Garthwaite. You’re such an expert on all aspects of the law, Ant, I’m seeking your sage advice. Sign me: GOP HOP GOP (the slogan looks MUCH better on my campaign sign design).
One would think that someone of your scholarly ways would know that a candidate need not be a resident of a congressional district to run. One would also think that someone as astute and aware as yourself would recall that Dennis Lemare of Lee, which is most certainly in the First District, ran in the last primary against Second District Congressman Charlie Bass. The only conclusion that I can come to given that someone with your intellect and powers of observation has failed to recall these items is that something of great import, say the troubles with a local dog park, must be unduly taxing on your tremendous capabilities. May rest come to your wearying mind and faculties soon, good man. I shall pray for you that you may be restored to good health and reason soon.
“Great happiness!” to quote Shakespeare’s play about the Phil Greazzo-Tammy Simmons relationship (“Macbeth”). The Great Wizard of Pinardville has come out of the rhetorical closet and has posted as hisself [SIC]. Just remember Li’l Richie, I gave you the story first. I’m ready to throw my straw boater into the old bully bull bull ring. In fact, I’ll use Teddy Roosevelt’s catchphrase “Bully” on the stump, and I’m now in the market for a pair of classic T.R. pince-nez to replace my still stylish but slightly out-of-date Nelson Rockefeller eye glass frames. Speaking of Roosevelt, my campaign song is going to be “Hoppy Days Are Here Again” (a variation on T.R’s cousin Franklin’s 1932 campaign song, which is an apostasy for a Republican candidate, I guess, but I’ve read that FDR purloined it from Herbert Hoover, no less, so it can be considered to have a Republican pedigree*). *Gratuitous dog park reference. — Sign me, GOP HOP GOP
P.S. Do you know where I can get a pair of lifts for my shoes, cheap?
Thanks for the tip. Despite her great experience and my willingness to let bygones be bygones, I’m rather reluctant to ask Tammy Simmons to be my campaign manager, seeing the debacle she oversaw shepherding the GOP through the recent municipal elections as the pilot of Phil Greazzo’s bid for reelection and her disastrous tenure as head of the Queen City Republican Party. Before Ted “52” Gatsas’s squeaker of a victory, people around town were talking of his opponent (if they spoke of him at all) as “That Kid” (he is awfully young looking). Now, thanks to Tammy, everybody knows who Patrick Arnold is. If only she could reverse engineer her mojo and put it to work for WINNING for once. She sure has a touch for manufacturing losers.
What color is the sky on Planet Hopwood?
Nice of you to ask: I’m thinking of using orange for my campaign posters, offset with blue. You know: Hunters colors.
I was counseled to forward the suspicions about missing monies at the Manchester Dog Park Association to the Hillsborough County Attorney’s Office. Thanks for reminding me! Btw, L’il Richie, you never answered Dog Park Dave Bigelow’s revelations about the potentially missing loot at the MDPA on Girard at Large’s Facebook page. I wish you’d hurry and post a reply before you have to pack up and move your tent to MySpace because of that unfortunate Facebook TOS violation. My “MySpace” account currently is in receivership…. MySpace: Now, there’s a real blast from the past (more like a bowel breeze), just like Li’l Richie Girard, politician. (Is one of the roots of all this mishegas the fact that you FAILED as a solon whereas Joseph Kelly Levasseur’s political career continues to thrive? I’m not sure how to characterize you in the piece I’m writing: A has-been or a ne’er will be? Iago, Oedpius….good god, how the head spins thinking of all the metaphors and tropes one has to deal with while doping out your motives and relationships. “Oh my head!” Ha ha ha.) Think of the fun we’re going to have in 2014, Li’l Richie…. It reminds me of the Wizard of Oz working as a bouncer at the main door of Emerald City: “Well, bust my buttons!” — Sign me, GOP HOP GOP
P.S. Do you weep when you hear the older Judy Garland singing, “Over the Rainbow”? Personally, she gives me the creeps. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ss49euDqwHA
Feel free to post your article here. It’s probably the only reason anyone would read anything written by you.

Oh, Hopwood! I sincerely hope you did forward your specious complaint about the dog park’s fiscal management procedures. The sooner you are discredited as nothing more than a partisan political hack sniping from the tree line, the better. If there is any justice in this world, you will get a reprimand from the AG for vexatious litigation for your troubles. You know quite well that the allegations you made against the dog park were made up out of whole cloth and yet you continued to repeat them to negatively impact public opinion and to cast a shadow of impropriety against a person who was guilty of nothing other than serving the public. There has never been proof of one scintilla of fiscal mismanagement and still you repeat these slurs. If you oppose someone on ideological grounds, be man enough to argue your position. Inventing tales of malfeasance merely proves that you cannot win a battle of ideas and facts. I am looking forward to your own promised candidacy for office. That should be highly entertaining, indeed!
