Support the Burge.
[UPDATE: As per Paul Z’s comment, somebody might want to put together something with this.]
I sent an idea to Serr8d, and here’s what he came up with:

I’m waiting for my hair to grow out so that I can pick up a $400 cut and make a bid for VP on the ticket.
At the very least, I can sure help out during softball games.
Speaking of vp ambition, I think Richardson said more than he meant to the other day…
In the english I grew up speaking, that says “pick me! pick me!” That article also kind of sparkles juxtaposed with the one McGeehee
linked the other day.
I wonder whether I could be Surgin’ General.
I can be the atrophy wife
Come on you two; this is serious business.
Jessica’s Well: Surging the Burge since 5:17pm yesterday.
So I have seniority.
Have you heard about the Burge?
Everybody knows that the Burge is the, uhhh, wurge.
There is no link. I will put one here.
Up here in Uffda Land, we pronounce Mr. Lutefisk/Lefsa/Krumkake’s name Bur-gee (hard g). But ya never know, Dave might be wanting to flee from his ethic roots to a more cosmopolitan (read Frenchie-sounding) last name. Trust me, that will NOT go over well with his base: the muscle car, hot dish and craft fair crowd.
You cannot resist the urge …to elevate TEH BURGE!!!
Burgeheim Steamroller, baaabeee!!!
Burge – You CAN HAS IT!
(Or, u can haz pritty cheez)
Dig it, Paul Z, that’s perfect.
The Ramones version is kickin’….
if not the little youtube production linked above….
Fred better move fast, or the Burge-meister will have grabbed all his support.
you’re wrong about the muscle car crowd Lesley
I need one of those bumper stickers for a race car I crew on, if someone can get me one drop me an email: gibson330 @ gmail.com
Seriously, I want one bad.
Burge is the wurge?
(papa-oo-mow-mow)
Burge wurge
Well, that’s better than “rockin pneumonia”, I guess.
The candidate dilemma…
Fear not, America. Dave Burge has deigned to lead you. If it doesn’t work out, of course, there’s always Fred Thompson….
Hey, how do you really pronounce “Burge?”
Is it Burge as in ham”burg”er or “ham”burg”y?
or Burge as in “metallurgy”
or Burge as in “purge?”
Sarah–it rhymes with “Heisman.”
I’m duly impressed by the punctuation on the bumper sticker. “On” should have been capitalized because in this context it is not a preposition but part of the verb “Bring,” whereas “the” retains its status as article, thus meriting the lower case.
I think I’m in love…
It doesn’t rhyme with “sauerkraut”?
TW: chance refused. No, the chance was missed because I can’t remember the proper line from Monty Python, drat my aging memory.
R30C – I was just jokin’ around.
I don’t get the muscle car crowd sensitivity thing.
Happy Feet – my joke was lousy. I was playing up Dave’s comic genius for all things Scandihoovian, and thus, a huge base of voter support. Believe it or not, Sweden is home to more restored classic American cars than anywhere else in the world (outside the US). Swedish Greasers Cruising in American Cars
Lesley wasn’t blowing kakelugn fumes…. Those swedish muscle-car types, well, they don’t like the affricates. At least not the voiced ones.
But I thought I had gotten your joke. “Hot dish” is totally Iowa, and Iowa is funny, apart from Chuck Grassley, who is now certifiably out of his era and is scaring the children.
Sarah – tee hee (I had to look up affricates, thanks for the erudition), and atrophy wife was brilliant.
Happyfeet – I’ve lived in the Midwest almost all my life and grew up thinking racial prejudice had something to do with whether your last name ended in “son” or “sen.” I actually know people with Hummel Figurine Collections, who display Swedish, Norweigan or Danish flags at the end of their docks, who have matching family sweater collections (especially popular for holiday photos) and whose mothers’ always put shredded carrots in orange jello. Don’t get me started on tuna noodle casserole….is it any wonder I love Iowahawk?
and yes, Chuck Grassley is scary.
I have people in Iowa, sometimes Christmas there. I really like it up there. Mostly the people. I’ve seen those holiday photos on the fridge at home, but I guess I had thought it was something peculiar about *them* – the monochromatic peeps in the picture – good to know they weren’t improvising.
Nope. I too have people in Iowa, descended from taciturn, asocial Scots.
The “normal” Iowans have been keeping a wary eye on Iowa’s McGehees since 1894.
Back in my days as a touring musician, we passed a store in Sioux Falls, Iowa called:
Shoes to Vacuum II
We didn’t get a chance to investigate, but it lead to many hours of speculation on the road afterwards.
