"Ryan Likes Bush!"

On the way to one of his gigs a month ago Ryan revealed to me the first time in the history of our friendship a political opinion.

Ryan claimed, "I just can't see himself voting for John Kerry."

When asked earlier today if the convention changed his mind. He said not at all. No hope is on the way bumper stickers for Ryan.

Sure, its none of our businesses who he votes for really, but he said it was cool to write about it. I am just amazed after all these years he finally voice opinion.

Watch the poll numbers, this could change the entire election!

"John & John's Hope Train Now Arriving!"

What a great summer for the democrats!  First Fahrenheit 9/11 is a mega hit and has most Americans  shuffling around and quoting the film so well I didn't even see Michael Moore's lips move. Then, what could have been a scandal turned into just a silly incident. It was revealed that last year former Clinton Security Aide Sandy Burger, who was ready to fill the position of similar nature for John Kerry walked out of a 9/11 commission meeting with classified documents. Agedly, he shoved them down his pants and left with them, resulting in his house being searched for them. Not all of them were even retrieved.

 Now Clinton squashed the story when he came out and said that he was laughing when he heard it. He thought it was funny since he was always up to his eyes in paper work when he worked for him. So, basically the reason was he is a whacky absent minded guy who is always misplacing and or shoving stuff down his pants. Then the story was dropped despite all the missing documents.  I think given the guy’s important job I should be happy if it’s a cover-up of some sort.Now the convention is being held in Beantown and it's time for Kerry to make the hard sell.

Tonight, is his big night. Now I am going go out on a limb here and predict that Kerry is going to roll up them sleeves! That way we can realize that he is a man of the people! That Kerry he is really going to get things done, what with the rolling of the sleeves and all. Getting down and dirty just like blue collar America despite the fact that he is insanely rich. If he is rolling up those sleeves he sure must be serious!  

 
 Last night the democrats even came out with a catchy slogan that has been ringing in my ears all day long. HOPE IS ON THE WAY! HOPE IS ON THE WAY! HOPE IS ON THE WAY ! HOPE IS ON THE WAY! Everybody I want you to stand up by your computer and throw back your chair and chant in monotone. HOPE IS ON THE WAY! HOPE IS ON THE WAY! HOPE IS ON THE WAY! In all fairness I think John Edwards had an awesome speech even though VP speeches usually are forgotten in a few weeks that is about as good as it gets. For a second the affable Edwards not only had me ready to post my endorsement for Kerry on this blog, but could have gotten me to run naked down my street screaming HOPE IS ON THE WAY! Now that the moment has passed I have clearly come back to my senses.

 
Tonight, at least till the debates could be the most important night in John Kerry's career when he has to tell the American people really why they should vote for him, and just vote against Bush. Than again many people's mindset is anyone, but Bush so maybe Kerry can just make an appearance VIA satellite that way he won't have to pre-empt the mom swapping show. So,  get your Heinz ketchup and ready readers to dive into the pony show that is a political convention and check tune into Kerry from his soap box tonight. Now if your apartment is a little small, you are still living with you parents, you haven’t been laid in years, have no job,  your underwear is too tight or you are still bummed about spending 9 bucks for seeing Catwoman. Don't worry loyal readers HOPE IS ON THE WAY!

If the democrats winning streak continues much longer Bush’s convention speech might as well start with the line…”Ah forget it!” , followed by him waving his hands off to the audience. Time now to get on the bandwagon ladies, gentleman, homeless and people.

The Johnny Train is leaving Beantown tonight, next stop….Washington D.C.?

"Drive In Returns to South Jersey"

A drive in movie theater opened last weekend off Delsea Drive in Vineland. The first time a movie has been shown in this format since 1991.  The theater showed a double feature for the Bourne Supermacy and Anchorman.  Now instead of speakers you tune your radio to aan FM station. The theater is bigger than any Imax theater. Might be a good place to see the Village.

"Mikestock 8/14/04"

Price called me earlier tonight to let me know that a date has been set for his party that is designed to celebrate his return to civilian life and the fact that he got married and didn't really get a chance to get people together for it.

So in crew tradition the party has a name Mikestock slated for August 14th! So, that gives you plenty of time to clear your schedule, take off of work, think of an excuse to call out of work, or get permission from your girlfriend to attend the party.

The theme of the party is Hawaiian, and it's up for debate if it should be mandatory for Hawaiian shirts to be the require attire. All the details aren't clear, yet but keep clicking on Tucker's World for updates as I get them.

This is clear it will involve a roasting pig, swimming, lots of beer, lots of dudes, and dangerously drunk people.

So make sure you get this date straight call Price if you have any questions.

Tell me how you feel on here about having to where Hawaiian shirts.

"Can Kerry Save Hockey?!"

The NHL is in worse is in utter shambles, and the pending hockey Armageddon appears to be real, and any kind of lock out could very easily lead to the entire league going belly up. At this points experts on the sport peg the lockout as 75% likely.

Now presidential hopeful John Kerry, has of work hard work and decisions to make in order to over come the borderline states in order to bounce Dubbuya from the White House.  Sure terrorism, healthcare, and the economy are important, but what about the NHL?

Now according to the countless photo ops I have seen attempting to make the American public like John Kerry he not only is a hockey fan he actually plays the game! I don't know if he can stand on his skates as well as his skies, but maybe he is the NHL's only hope.

Now I don't expect him to do anything, but he would automatically get my vote if he randomly broke the door down at the next CBA meeting, and locked the door till both sides made an agreement. I would be like the John Kerry can get things done! I am going to vote for him he cares about the average man who just wants to watch hockey. He surely understands the common man.

In fact if he save the NHL from meeting the reaper I think I would get I love Kerry tattooed on my arm. Come on John Kerry its a great idea! Canada is pissed off at us, and if the Canadians, and Maples never play again it will be impossible for them to ever like us again.

please, John Kerry prove to me you can solve differences by making the impossible possible. Please if you are as big a fan I am, you are the only one that can save it.

 
Enjoy DEMOCRAT WEEK readers!

"Wawa turns 40!"

This week if you haven't heard WaWa turned the big 4-0! Now in honor of the birthday of this great South Jersey staple.  I want you to close your eyes and imagine life without Wawa. If you are like me, it seems like some level of hell. How can you go to bar without a Wawa stop to start or most times even end the night? How can you make it to the shore with out stopping at least one Wawa? Where do you do all your free banking transactions? Wawa, a great place for sandwitches, soup, picking up the newspapers, random cravings, drunken purchases and the ever popular tapping MAC is part of our culture.

 

What lots of don't realize is the actual company goes as far back to the 1800's! The company was been wise and learn from it's mistakes like the short flirtation with lottery tickets that made waiting in lines too long. They also tried to move up to New England, and for whatever reason it didn't catch on. Now Super Wawas are popping up, and providing people with gas! Cheap gas! Below is some facts from the Wawa webpage.

 

  • Over 100 years ago, the original dairy farm was built on land located in a rural section of Pennsylvania called Wawa, which was named from a local Native American tribe in honor of their favored game - the Canada Goose. Today, the name Wawa has come to symbolize the very best attributes of our company.

    Our Rich History1800sThe Company was founded in 1803 in New Jersey, and incorporated in 1865 as the Millville Manufacturing Company, a textile company with mills in several states and sales offices across the country.
    1902In 1902, George Wood, Millville's owner, opened a small milk plant in Wawa, PA, which specialized in processing, and the home delivery of "doctor certified" milk. The Wawa Dairy enjoyed a reputation for superior fresh products and customer service.

  • 1964On April 16, 1964, Wawa Food Markets opened their first store in Folsom, PA. This store was an immediate success, and it marked the beginning of the Wawa chain of food markets. From the beginning, Wawa made a commitment to fresh food - selling fresh produce and featuring a full-service deli. Over the years, the food service offer has been expanded to meet customers' needs.
  • 2001Today, the Wawa "family" has grown to include more than 13,000 associates with over 500 stores in five states.

 

What do you like the most about Wawa? Also 25 Tucker's World points to whoever guesses WHAT is celebrating  a 100 year birthday this summer.

Wawa came into the Delware Valley and is something that is almost unique to the country since it doesn't exisit anywhere else.  Please share your foundest Wawa stories, and comments right here on Tucker's World.

Happy Birthday Old Friend.
