Local Man Complains "No Dancing" At Political Party

by christopher taylor

TRINITY, AL--Stuart Robb, a Boeing machinist and political outsider, wanted to get involved. So he drove to Decatur to attend a Howard Dean Meet-Up two Wednesdays back, then went to an impromptu pro-Bush meeting at the Mount View Baptist Church last night. At both events he was struck by the lack of dancing.

"You get all these offers in the mail and on the teevee to join these political parties," explained Robb. "I've never really been all that involved in political stuff before. I usually vote, but I've never handed out leaflets or whatever. So I figured I'd give them a try."

According to Robb, the Dean Meet-Up was characterized by "coffee, cigarettes, and talking," while the Bush event was "primarily word-oriented...with coffee and cigarettes." He complained, "not once did anyone else dance. All they wanted to do was chat." He also said he is considering starting his own political party, founded on the principles of "life, liberty, and the pursuit of dancing."
