Looks like the Burgundy Campaign is cranking it up again. On the weekend they were in Toronto, Ontario Canada for the Buffalo Bills versus the Atlanta Falcons football game. From there they, reluctantly, moved on to Buffalo, New York, USA.
Scene: We catch up to most of the team in the lobby
of “The Mansion on Delaware Avenue”.
It’s just after lunch and Ron, Joe B., John, Tim and Wendy are
there. They’re going over the campaign
plans for the day and talking about the past weekend.
John: Wow! I
still can’t get over that game. 34 / 31
in overtime.
Tim: Yeah, real exciting, except for Bills
fans. That stadium, The Rogers Centere
is incredible with the hotel built right into it.
Ron: That whole city was amazing. With the CN Tower and all. We should be campaigning there. Wendy, why aren’t we campaigning in the
beautiful city of Toronto with those beautiful, healthy looking Torontasians.

Toronto |
Wendy: Ron, you know it’s a different country. Those Torontonaughts can’t vote for you.
Ron: That’s nonsense! This is a free continent and the Trontosians should
be able to vote for whoever they want. When I’m President I’ll fix this deplorable
situation.
Wendy: What are you gonna do, annex the Canadian
City of Toronto? Good luck, President
Polk.
Ron: This is no joke! Those Torontagans deserve an American
President and I don’t even do the polka.
Tim: (under his breath) Yeah, look how much good American Presidents
have done for Detroit.
Ron: What was that, Tim? Why don’t you save your smartass remarks for
your space alien buddies.
Tim: Man, take a nap on a bus and they never let
you forget it. I’m going outside.
John: You know I’m writing a snappy new song. “The Torontotula Polka”.
Wendy: Out!
John: I think I’ll go make sure Tim doesn’t disappear
again.
John joins
Tim on a smoke break but, does not light up.
Wendy and Ron look at Joe B. who silently smiles.
Wendy: Alright, now when the Canadian Limo gets
here, we’re,,,
Joe B.: (Interrupting) Canadian Limo? You mean we’re going by dogsled?
Wendy stares
bullets at Joe B.
Joe B.: I better check on Tim and John.
Scene: Joe B. Joins
Tim and John in the parking lot.

Tim: (to Joe B.)
Those two Torontonuttballs kick you out too?
Joe B.: Wendy said she got a Canadian Limo and,,,
John: (interrupting) What, we’re going by dogsled?
Tim: I’m having a blast on this trip. Gimme fist pump.
The men
awkwardly fist pump each other and some of the fists sorta explode. Back inside the hotel lobby, Wendy tries again to get the
campaign back on track.
Wendy: Ron, the limo takes us to Niagara Falls for
some picture taking. Right now, your
hair is a work of art. Keep it that way!
Ron: Yes Dear.
Wendy: After that, we’re going to Elmwood Village
for some Christmas shopping for the best campaign manager ever.
Ron: Absolutely, (tapping his inside pocket) and
I’ve got my prepared remarks about the Christmas Lights Controversy in my
jacket pocket.

Canadian Limo |
Scene: A white van
pulls up in front of the hotel with “Canada Limousine Service” painted on
it. At the same time, campaign volunteer
Maureen pops into the hotel lobby from the elevator.
Maureen: Good morning.
Wendy: Morning? It’s 1:10 pm princess. Let’s go.
The Canadian Limo is here and,,,
Maureen: (interrupting) Wait, we’re going by dogsled?
