Between Tony's fascination with the elderly and Brian's with the unborn, we still face a vast untapped territory of the now - Generation K, as Brian so aptly knighted us. For visual sake, let's imagine ourselves for a moment as prairie dogs. The following picture might sum up our current position: looking forward and behind, carefully surveying the threatening past and present. But where's the dog looking directly at us? Where's the the pup digging in and setting up shop in our lives today?
I'm not sure in what hole he's hiding, but I can sure tell you what he'd look like. He'd be robust, hungry for life, large and in charge. He'd spread himself out like a picnic blanket over the issues; he'd cover them all and eat 'em up, then wag his cute little tail with great satisfaction. In the prairie dog world, he'd be this bad-ass -
So I say to all of Generation K, can you stare into these intense, beady eyes and not feel inspired? Can you take measure in his girth and not feel prepared to accept the challenge of this lifelong campaign?
Get ready everybody. It could be Wirsing.

Hmm....The voters may need a consistent visual reminder of the prairie dog motif. How do you feel about carrying one with you at all times, a la Paris Hilton's chihuahua?
If prairie dogs were more tractable and less inclined to spend their days burrowing in super cool tunnel systems, then I'd consider your idea, Kate. Otherwise, I'd have to staple the poor fella, chirping and kicking all the way, to my shoulder. And that's just not acceptable behavior. Neither of us, moreover, would ever be very comfortable.
Karl, I fear that on the daily you are slipping farther and farther away from reality and closer to karls world of krazy. yes, i used a K on purpose.
on the brighter side, at least you've given me something to do instead of working.
Dear Eve, since we here at Team Wirsing aren't looking for a bunch of "yes" men and women (well, secretly we were), we've just invited you to join us!
