For Brian and Anni - copied from the Foothills Forum posted by someone I know only as uclajim - I thought you'd enjoy his comments.

I apologize for giving my personal commentary on this announcement, but here it goes:
Buck McKeon his coming to town for 90 minutes on Friday afternoon July 9th.

commentary: I live in the sliver of Tujunga which was gerrymandered to this particular congressman (it is hard to believe our town is split up into at least 4 or 5 congressional districts). It was nice to see at least one of the many (not Buck) come to our town for our parade. Anyway, the same congressman that happens to represents Bishop and is supposed to also know the needs of a small chunk of Tujunga, will be here for a whole 90 minutes with only 3 days notice at a time most working people won't be in town. Wow, I whole 90 minutes. Unfortunately, having/keeping my day job will prevent me from coming, but for those who can come, here is the official announcement:

Bernard is taking Buck's visit a little hard. A catastrophe. Or a cat ass trophy.

After all, Bernard is a Democat.

Thanks to Sharon for starting this thread. I've written Buck so much that I got my own e-mail invitation Tuesday, but I'm especially grateful to read the words of the Foothills Forum correspondent, who expressed my feelings exactly.

It's impossible to be too cynical about Buck finally coming to this part of his district in the middle of a weekday afternoon for 90 minutes with only three days notice. This is an election year. He gets credit for driving to Sunland-Tujunga from those who only pay attention to e-mails, and he probably won't have to put up with many constituents under those circumstances.

I expect more from a fellow alumnus of Verdugo Hills High School.
