The Minuteman Program just announced is a pyramid scheme of electoral politics.
You’ll have had to have had a lot of the kool aid to be aiming for these prizes:
In addition to the Keyes’ 04 Minuteman lapel pins, other perks will be assigned to each rank. Some of the currently established perks are listed below.
Sergeant = Keyes ’04 Soundtrack CD (Includes songs from the announcement and assorted speeches)
Colonel = A chance to get an in-studio seat for one of the upcoming debates
General = Time with Alan on the bus during a statewide swing
Other perks are in the works and will be announced shortly.
Songs from the announcement? Uh-huh. Any more Friend of Dorothy moments on there–I mean, we don’t want the Keyes campaign to be thought of as effeminate do we?
I love that the program is introduced by a quote from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Kind of sums up the entire Keyes campaign: curioser and curioser.
