Today in history

NOTES FROM LIFE, ETC.

1. Observations from the ALAN WOODRUFF FOR CONGRESS CAMPAIGN

   How is the Albuquerque BALLOON FESTIVAL like the U.S. Congress?

   1. They both attract colorful gas-bags full of hot air.
   2. In both cases, the gas-bag with the most hot air rises the highest.
   3. None of the gas-bags have any discernable direction.
   4. All the gas-bags go wherever the wind takes them.
   5. Only the wealthy get to participate, but taxpayer money funds the event.
   6. They both make the people feel good without giving them any real benefit.
