Where’s Midge?
Got my Code Pink email today, and it’s kinda lame. They want me to call my Congressmen about some some chick who smeared fake oil on herself at a Congressional hearing and got arrested for it. I think being a dumbass is only a misdemeanor. Anyway, it made me wonder: Where’s Midge?
You remember Midge Potts, she’s the ginormous transgendered Navy veteran that traipses around with Code Pink. Anyway, you will be happy to note that s/he is alive and well, and running for Senator in the Show Me State. (Please, for the love of all that is holy, do not show us anything.) She did however recently suffer a debilitating injury while walking:
Midge Potts, Progressive/Green Candidate for US Senate, who began walking from Missouri’s only nuclear power reactor in Callaway County on April 10th, announced on Monday that she had to end her trek early because of a pulled tendon she suffered during her attempt to reach the Honeywell nuke bomb parts factory in Kansas City….
Midge Potts said, “I walked 65 miles in 6 days, and I talked to lots of folks in central Missouri about converting the $50 billion America spends annually on maintaining a nuclear weapons arsenal to retool factories for the production of green technologies. From my point of view, this walk was a success; not trying would have been the failure.”
Wow, she was really trucking along there! For those who might snark, walk a mile in his/her high-heeled pumps with a feather boa on before you jest on my site!
Anyway, I just found this video, and I am……transfixed? Like, I just can not turn it off.

Holy trainwreck Batman!
Well, there’s 3 minutes of my life I won’t be getting back.
….and these people want to be taken seriously…
Amy, you took some of the words right outta my mouth. Except, being a salty old bastard; I would have added some frails and dressings to go along with “trainwreck”.
“Midge Potts… announced on Monday that she had to end her trek early”
That’s adorable; she even wrote a blog post press-release-style in case anyone gave a shit.
**For Immediate Release** “Scott announced on Thursday that he took a remarkably satisfying dump following a delicious Denny’s breakfast”
Wow! That’s fun!
65 miles in 2 months, eh Midge? Paced like a true Green Party Progressive.
Oh, I stand corrected. 65 miles in 6 days. That’s much better.
yer bad, TSO…..simply bad bro. hehe!
At least I speak and act up for what I believe in!
I wish you would too 😉
Honestly, wasting your breath about what I or other Code Pink activists are doing is taking your time away from the real action you should be taking in the name of freedom and justice. If indeed you actually think that those things are worth fighting for.
I doubt you will do anything but sit on your butt and type stuff into your computer. There ya go, now that is a life well lived!
Sincerely,
Midge P
Midge! We missed you Midge.
“I doubt you will do anything but sit on your butt and type stuff into your computer”
That’s right Midge. Because no one who uses the internet has ever had time for anything else.
Speaking and acting up for what you believe in is not so rare or difficult that the act itself merits applause. Unless, I suppose, you suffer from a handicap so severe that to speak or act is a major endeavor. I haven’t ruled it out for many of the “peace activists” I know of.
Hey, look! I just spoke and acted upon something I believe! I guess I’m a precious flower after all!
Wow Scott that has to be the laziest for of “action” I’ve ever seen. Did you even get out of bed to write smack on a blog where 99% of readers agree with you. The next thing I know you’ll sport a Republicans for the end of the world button. That’ll change the world.
I’m sorry. In the future I’ll restrict my internet posting to places where I’m soundly in the political minority. That’ll make me courageous!
Kinda like walking the stairs to the 6th floor of an abandoned building and hanging a totaly forgetable banner no one cares about, then standing around taking cheesy pictures type of lazy, eh Doc?
Dude is it just me or do you think if Matthis grew out his hair a little could he and midge be twins?
I really like your writing style, great info , thanks for posting : D. If you have more time, please visit my site: http://thoitrangdonghonam2014.wordpress.com
