Jim Thorpe Halloween Parade

I’ve marched with the Democrats in three Halloween parades.  In the first, the Lehighton parade, we kept seeing Doyle Heffley stickers on little kids and some adults.  It was psychologically depressing, although we knew kids can’t vote.

In the Palmerton Halloween parade, the day after the Lehighton parade, we had our own Patti Borger stickers, which we stuck over the Doyle Heffley stickers.  People loved it.  Evidently the Heffley people stick the stickers on without asking.  We would say, “Here, put a nice sticker over that ugly one,” and we received an overwhelming response.  Unfortunately, we ran out of Patti Borger stickers before the end of the parade.

Today, at the Jim Thorpe parade, the Heffley people were once again in front of the Democrats, as they seem to be in every Halloween parade.  This time we were ready.  The Heffley people gave out balloons.  On each one we pasted a Patti Borger sticker.  People laughed, applauded, and were appreciative.  

From the reactions we got, I can tell you that Doyle Heffley is not a popular guy.  I can also tell you that being ahead of the Democrats in a Halloween parade is no longer an advantage.  I wish there were more parades.
