What a Hatch



The Handsome Man's father, a funny man in his own right, made the comment, "What a Hatch," referring to Richard Hatch of Survivor fame. That Hatch has also been, up until today, prisoner Hatch. The inflection used by father of Handsome Man, was less than appreciative when talking about the Newport resident who likes to run sans shirt through out neighborhood. But all I could think when I saw this link about the Senator from Utah was, What a Hatch.

That's 100!


As a show of my love and open-mindedness, I attended an event in support of a cause that is not exactly close to my heart. I found a few reasonable justifications for attending, as I am apt to do. The event was for the our state's young enter political party here. I was told that the head of the national party would be in attendance. This fellow is very entertaining, although not very effective - in my humble opinion. He, of course, was not in attendance. Also, as I am currently pursing a masters in Political Science, I figured it would be good to see how the other side operates, as I have yet to do in all my days of politicking. Needless to say, I am not worried and I was not impressed. I will omit the general cattiness that could fill this post and keep with the mission of this blog, what he said.
After over two hours, the speakers finally got up to energize their base. The guy in charge of this youth group, in an attempt to fire them up, gave some stats and info about the strength and momentum of their group. The one that he seemed most proud of and excited about was the difference in numbers of facebook members between their organization and their rival group.

Young guy: "Listen to this one. You're gonna love this! The Young enter opposition party here, as of today, has 350 members on facebook. Do you know how many we have, after only being around for 1 year?!?!? 450!!!!"

Handsome Man: (dripping with vodka and sarcasm) "That's 100!"

Me: dying laughing

Not so Young guy: turns to Handsome Man and nods, "that is 100," completely oblivious to the sarcasm yet swayed by the weight of the numbers

Again, I am not worried.
