Hero of the People

Denbow
The Commissar of People's Unity is proud to award the Order of Service to the Nationals Caucus, with gold trim, to Brian P. Denbow of Elkridge. Citizen hero Denbow bravely spoke up from within the very heart of the imperialist enemy and announced in the pages of this morning's WaPo his formal defection from the (Baltimore) Orioles to the Washington Nationals.
To quote citizen hero Denbow:
I live less than 10 minutes from Camden Yards, but I will not go. Because of Mr. Angelos, I would rather drive an hour to sit at RFK Stadium and watch the Nationals slog through what could be a historically terrible season. At least the Lerners have a plan.
The words of a true people's hero! Let citizen hero Denbow's faith in The Plan be an example to all members of the Nationals caucus!
In addition, the Commissariat also honors citizen Markus Kumau of Nairobi, Kenya, as the most distant known member of the Nationals caucus, and nominates his song, "Randa Randa," as the People's Anthem of the Nationals Movement. Download "Randa Randa" here. The Academy of People's Arts declares that the song sounds like early Johnny Clegg. And the "ho yeah, ho yeah!" chorus seems to be the perfect beat for the bouncing lower-deck stands at RFK Canyon National Monument.




I would certainly second the Commissariat's nomination of "Randa, Randa" as the People's Anthem of the National's movement. What better way to tell the people of baseball that this 30th-ranked team is ready for a grass-roots explosion propelling it to the top of the charts - whoops, I mean standings.
I can tell you Markus (the singer-composer of Randa Randa) is a true people's rep of the Nationals. Raised under the cloud of the Senator's Short-sighted departure, he and I attended some of those last dismal games in '71 together.
The bright light that is the return of baseball to this fine city is lit by those like Markus that support it, no matter where they reside in the world!
Here's to "Randa Randa" blasting at RFK and the rocking of the stands!
I'd love to meet Brian P. Denbow in person some warm summer's night this year at RFK.
Say, if Brian is a "Hero of the People", what should we call those legions of fans in the area who would not DREAM of rooting for the Ravens over the Redskins, the Sixers over the Wizards, the Flyers over the Capitals, yet still maintain their allegiance to Peter Angelos' Orioles over a team that is right in their backyard???
