Alex Bay Gripped By Tebow-Mania

       It was a fun day in Alexandria Bay as the Pirates Weekend Parade was held and I marched in it as part of the Doheny posse. Since we were to throw footballs, I wore my new Tebow jersey and it was a hit as the crowd wanted to catch a Doheny for Congress nerf football from #15.

            Like #15 I completed about 40% of my passes, but by the end of the pararde I had found my range.  The crowd was enthused and I hate to say it were more captivated by Tebow-mania than Congressional politics.
       It was a fun time in the  Bay and I stopped to see "Critter" at Skiffs for a couple Miller Lites on the way home.
        I don't know if my presence added anything to the campaign event, but the Doheny campaign provided one of their staffers to fill in at Fort Pearl for me. Her name is Courtney and she is a recent FSU grad from Tampa.

      Courtney relaxes after her shift at Fort Pearl......I told her if politics doesn't work out, she is welcome on Pearl Street when Emily leaves for the Air Force in October.

If Doheny doesn't win this election and can't walk in parades anymore the guy is going to go through major parade withdrawal! I fear we'll find him marching down the middle of Arsenal all by himself one day, throwing candy at parked cars and asking where his personal marching band has gone!!!

That Tebow poise looks like you are praying.
And praying is right wing extremist.
So, Doheny is associating himself with a right wing extremist.
