Charlie Brown for Congress

Yeah, Charlie Brown is running against Congressman Doolittle. I mean, the jokes write themselves, don't they?

So, on my birthday (Sunday), Lt. Col. Charlie Brown (Air Force, retired) held a meet-and-greet at Plough and the Stars, a local pub.

I like Charlie. < Wikipedia bio>
He's a geek, in all the right ways.

At the slightest provocation, he did five minutes on water rights and flood safety in the Sacramento delta. He talked real smack about Rep. Doolittle (Dem's need more 'smack-talkers' to shake the spineless handle we've been assigned of late.) And he talked for another five minutes with Veen about cycling.

He's got an uphill battle. Not against Doolittle (who is pretty vulnerable), but against the idea that a Democrat is going to run hard in the CA 4th (it doesn't happen often.)

If you have a second, drop by Brown for Congress. Hell, you could even leave a few bucks if you have it.

He's a good man, that Charlie Brown.
