River Polls

River Bottom Community drives politics, not Politics drives community.

A late breaking word from our East St. Louis correspondent Dint Lareaux, is just come in:

":go ahead Dint!"

"As we rolled into town, there was obvious discontent with Hillary," says Dint. "See this KFC sign in the central business district? It reads: Hillary Special, 2 Fat thighs, with small breast and a Left Wing. Now how do you suppose they determine the 'left wing on a chicken?"

"We sure don't know, Dint," says the studio.

"It has to do with some sly river-wit that only is understood by the residnets," says Dint

"We are running a poll in the bottom lands near where the Missouri and Mississippi River join. There is a pocket of voters in here who are twenty-three generations of bog-trotters. Their vote often tells us how so goes the federal voting in November," explains Dint.



"These Americans are little known outside the bog-trotter profession -- and very hard to find sometimes, this last nomadic group may not survive the next century, unless they adopt some changes," says Dint. "But the looks of things is more like they are living high off the hog."

"Yew, gwain twa intoovew me?" asked a little girl.

"Yew see, we getta finger marked blue after we voted," said the little girl's mother.

"We were able to capture this beautiful scene just outside the Mayor's Mansion," says Dint. "Well, that's all from the bottom lands. I have to get to the Pub before the snow gets any deeper."
