Drama, Hoodie and More Drama

Kind of a hodge podge of stuff going on today, QCI-ders... kind of a wierd day... wierd being... good wierd... but... we're just wierd on our own... If you are a political junkie... love drama... and football... today is your day ERR week... Hit it...

FONG OUT - The first buzz of the day is... Christian Fong has suspended his campaign... thus, he is no longer running. This guy actually had staff and campaign swag... some sort of volunteer base... Unlike others in the race. That being said, who will be next one to drop out?
HOODIE? STILL THERE? Holy smokes QCI-ders... you see MNF last night. *jaw drops* Whoah... Does this loss mean the beginning of the end of the best Boston sports decade ever? And do the Aints ERR Saints gotta shot at going undefeated? Indy for that matter? Call me Bob Griese because I'm not sold yet... NOLA has a complete month to deal with this... and Indy has no easy road... the red hot Titans and Jax are on the sched... But NOLA does seem to have the easier path... but when you are saving players and watching injuries for a month... are they the same team that whooped up on the hoodie last night? Anyhoop... here's a small portion of Saints humor from SCH...
MORE FONG - Now... there is a little chatter out there about his future ambitions. I'd say its way to early to start chirping... but... then again this is politics. Also... there's chirping about different tickets... nah... way, way too early to start that bit... plus, in all due respect to Fong, he's really new... not sure adding him to the ticket gets you to 35%... I mean if he did... he'd still be in... Will he someday have that street cred? I'm certain this isn't the last time we hear from this guy... stay tuned.
SWIFT BOAT WHAT? Yeah... the peeps over at the Iowa Progress Project gotta be feeling giddy today... The IDP says their new ad is was put out by the same folks who swift boated John Kerry. And now have an online thinger... to stand up with the Big Lug. That's it?
3RD DISTRICT UPGRADED - CQ has upgraded the race... We said it yesterday... but we'll say it again... the 3rd is gonna decide the primary up and down the ticket... Stay glued to this one...
CHARLIE AND BOBBY - Wait a minute... isn't that the name of an episode of Dallas? Anyways... sounds like Stoops is the front runner at Notre Dame... and Bowden ends the long run in Tallahassee. Question is... and it will be happening soon... when does the discussion begin with JoePa? 2? 3 years?
JAMISON IN - One of our favorite County Electeds and loyal QCI-der, Dave Jamison, is running for State Treasurer... officially. Man... there's lots of peeps stepping up to run lately... who's next? Makes for a great cycle...
WANT TO KNOW HOW LOW HAWKEYE BASKETBALL IS? Um... Yeah... per a tweet from the UI Athletic Office... Students can get into tonights game... for free... just by showing your student ID... um... tonight's game is a part of the Big Ten/ACC Challenge... versus Virginia Tech... Wow... I mean double wow... I had student season tickets back in the day. Dr. Tom era... and they weren't free... wow... Is this as low as it gets? Holy smokes... how do the kids who actually bought their seats in the Hawks Nest feel? You know... all 3 of them?
CULVER HITS STATE HOUSE GOPs ON NO BUDGET PLAN? You can call Josie Albrecht... Josie Ocho Cinco... because her response today says... "Child please, Governor. C'mon son, check yo email! Your budget told taxpayer dollars to kiss the baby..." THEN....
LUG CM QUITS - As if your day of drama don't stop... Culver's campaign manager resigns... whoah... what's gonna happen next?
ANYTHING ELSE? Buckle up QCI-ders... I have a pretty good feeling that things will begin to heat up a little more...
Don't forget to vote in city run offs today...
Stay thirsty friends....
