I am tired of Joe getting all the attention in this election. First there is Joe the plumber who is neither named Joe nor is he a plumber. Then there is Joe six pack who wasn't what I thought at all. Six pack refers to beer, not abs. Then Sarah said, "Say it ain't so, Joe." to Senator Biden - some oblique sports reference to make her sound like an ordinary person. It's time we paid some attention to a woman. Enough about the average Joe. More of us women vote than men and we deserve to be paid some mind. Why don't we focus on, okay, lets pick a random name here, Sue! Sue is a common name. Sue can also be a verb. Unfortunately, it is not that pleasant of a verb. To sue means there are two adversarial parties. You can sue for divorce. You can sue for damages. You can sue for pain and suffering. You don't hear about sue for pleasure or sue for happiness. But there are a lot of other Sues that involve proper nouns. There is even a town in Iowa. It's called Sioux City. Sioux City is the home of Sue Bee Honey. There 
was even a movie and a song about Sioux City Sue. There is also a movie about Curly Sue. That makes two movies about Sue that I've never seen. I have, however, seen Suzy Chapstick on television and in commercials. She was a famous skier. See her in the picture to the right? She looks like an amputee in the photo but she's not. She just being athletic and holding her leg and ski up behind her while hanging on to some white tulle. I'm not quite sure why she is skiing down a mountain on one leg while holding fabric over her head but it looks hard to do. Anyway, Suzy was outside so much her lips got dry that she did commercials for Chapstick. There 
was another Sue that was all over the science news a couple years ago. This Sue is the skeleton of the largest Tyrannosaurus Rex ever. And then there is "Run Around Sue." If you've heard of her you are old like me. This Sue was a
heart breaker. She broke some fellow's heart and inspired him to write a song about his pain and suffering.
We know she left him for another guy and he was sorely disappointed. But in songs, as in life, we don't hear the whole story. For all we know he was a creepy stalker type of guy. It could be that Sue had to run because he wasn't taking no for an answer. Last and probably least, there is even a boy named Sue. Johnny Cash had this radio hit when I was a pre-teen. I would roll my eyes every time it came on the radio.
