Today I threw a goose for Barack. It was young, and fluffy white, and quite dead. A passing jogger pointed it out, and I knew it needed to be taken care of, so I put a plastic bag over my hand and removed it from the field that would later hold 75K engaged citizens. This was perhaps the largest rally the Obama movement has yet seen; I think it’s no surprise that Progressive Portland turned out for this progressive candidate. I’d like to think that my goose removal preempted a PR crisis, and helped make it all possible.
