UPDATE: 25 August 1997 Pesky Broads part two
Subject: PESKY BROADS SURVIVE HOUSTON HEAT WAVEBUENOS DIAS,
It was so hot in Houston on Thursday and Friday - and you ask, HOW HOT WAS IT? It was so hot you couldn't fry an egg on the sidewalk. By the time we cracked the shell on the raw egg, it was already hard boiled!
I believe Thursay was the worst, the hottest day so far this year and we were out in the sun for 3 hours. We were waiting for the TV crew, that had told us they would be there, to show up. And guess what? Yep, you guessed it - they didn't! The repercussions of this will be added at a later date, we are plotting against them right now. (We may have another email campaign fixing to [another Texas term] take place - so oil up those keyboards). I like to think positively though, if they had shown up near the end of the day (5:00p.m.) we wouldn't have looked very presentable. We were so drained that we looked like we'd been rode hard and put up wet (another Texas phrase).
The other group that were holding up signs on Wed. had decided to stay home and call Fraud on the phone to get their side out over the air. Poor Dorthea was on hold to talk to "Mr. Radio Himself" from 2:00 until 4:15. She described the situation with the little 9 year old boy that was being sexually abused by his father, all efforts to help him had fallen through the cracks of the legal channels of Children's Protective Services and the courts. It seems that the father of the child's family has some money and some judge owed their attorney a favor. Now, isn't that special?
Fraud - you know the one, THE SPOKESMAN FOR VICTIMS EVERYWHERE, did nothing but pass the buck. He offered no help what so ever. In fact it showed Fraud for what he is..........."as usless as tits on a boar hog". (Sorry, another little Texas saying - can't help it - that's the way people talk here).
Emma is a real trooper, she only fainted from the heat when it was her turn to faint. We took turns because it was so hot. We did sit in the car one time to cool off and to call the TV station to find out if they wanted to come out and video tape the ambulance picking us up to take us to the hospital to be treated for heat exhaustion - Gee they weren't even interested in that angle - but it was worth a try, don't ya'll agree? My "land yacht" has a digital display of the outside temperature and at 4:20 p.m. it was only 104 - no breeze, no clouds and no black clothing. We were a little smarter, Emma looked radiant in her purple outfit, it is a great color on her, she has red hair. I, on the other hand chose a lovely sleeveless ensemble of teal with silver jewelry. I was hoping that the silver cuff bracelet would reflect the sun and therefore make us more noticeable while we were waving at oncoming traffic. What I didn't realize at the time is that metal heats up real fast in the hot sun - I'm sure that a little skin grafting will help with the 3rd degree burns on my wrist.
Friday, was fairly anti-climactic. The heat was not quite as intolerable as the day before and we only had to be out in it for 2 hours. The wind blew down the signs we had staked in the ground a couple of times, so we just leaned them against the hedge next to the sidewalk. We had several people stop and ask us questions about why we were protesting and who Fred was - it amazes me how many don't recognize his name at first, but when enlightened, the consensus was the same. People are sick and tired of him, they think he's nuts and can't stand him. Let's do all we can to keep this sentiment alive and on-going. I don't know how ya'll feel, but personally, I don't want this "SICK-O" having anything to do with any laws or legislation in Texas, or any other state in this country.
- What are his qualifications anyway? Can the powers that be with Safe Streets answer that question?
- Why didn't they go with Lou Brown instead? His child was murdered, too. Could it be that he's too stupid, or is he just out for money - Not money and blood, like Fraud?
I understand, not confirmed, that Fraud has one more tryout planned, when I find out where - ya'll will be the first to know. I'll be contacting Clear Channel Communications tomorrow to check this out, if I can't get any information out of them, I may call my "old friend" Andy Asswood at WOAI. Maybe it would be wothwhile to email Clear Channel Communications about Fraud - I believe they own 35 radio stations and are the ones that want to syndicate "Mr. I'm So Hateful I'm Sickening".
One more observation before letting ya'll rest your weary eyes - We didn't get the honking and thumbs up barrage in Houston, like we did in San Antonio. First of all, we were on the sidewalk in front of a non-descript office building facing the frontage road of I10 East near the Kirkwood exit in Houston. In San Antonio, we were stationed closer to the interstate, where it curved and traffic had to slow down some. Another point, Houstonians are focused in their cars to get from Point "A" to Point "B" as quickly as possible , and oblivious of their surroundings - Houston is real spread out and the traffic is horrendous.
What was really interesting was the response in Houston. . . . . . We played a game, we knew ahead of time what reaction the driver would have by their sex, race and type of automobile. I thought this was fascinating and it really became comical. Most women would wave if they were in agreement and just shake their heads if they weren't. Most hispanics, orientals, and others (Houston has a diverse international population), on the most part had no reaction. I'm not sure if they were just concentrating on their driving, or couldn't read the signs because they were in English, or just didn't "shive a git". Blacks on the whole were very supportive, although some had no reaction at all.
The most demonstrative reaction came from the "Good Ole Boy" stereotype. I need to explain this "person" to ya'll that haven't had the "luxury" of experiencing this type of person, first hand. This is not in any way meant to be demeaning to these individuals, I personally know a lot of them and really like them otherwise.
Picture this guy, please . . . . . . . . This is a middle-aged, white male, more than likely has white or graying hair. He has a Budweiser tumor (Texan for big gut) and drives one of the two "official state vehicles of Texas", one being the ever popular Chevrolet Suburban and the other being THE PICKUP TRUCK, (some of them are also equipped with the "Easy Rider Rifle Rack"). I must confess though, that some of "them" are now getting a little more updated and driving Sports Utility Vehicles, which are quickly vying for the top spot as "National official vehicle". These "good ole boys" are sooooooooo predictable, they ALWAYS shot us the finger. I don't even think they saw the "Fred" signs, they were blinded by their hate and racism and could only see the "O.J.". Perfect candidates for another civil trial jury in a Kangaroo Court.
Thank you ALL for your support. Please keep in mind, that WE HAVE JUST BEGUN TO FIGHT! Let's stand together for OJ and do what we can to help. Just remember, the squeakiest wheel gets oiled first. SO GET OUT THERE AND SQUEAK!
Speaking of squeaking - Emma has spent the weekend doctoring her squeaks with WD-40. We are both suffering from two new syndromes - first we have the "sign-holding - shoulder, elbow and wrist syndrome", and then we have the "parade wave - shoulder, elbow and wrist syndrome". I'll let ya'll now how Emma's WD-40 treatment turns out - you never know it could be a medical breakthrough.
Those "Pesky Houston Broads",
