It's been a good day for Asher Heimermann

[Bucky]

First a story on Huffington Post, now he's on the front page of DU for being the 4th most discussed topic on these boards. Congratulations, kid. You know, half the art of being American involves skills at self promotion. Lady Gaga did it, Christopher Columbus did it, and now Asher Heimermann is doing it too. If you're annoying and no one pays attention to you, you're just another kook in the streets. But if you're annoying and you raise a ruckus, you're the next PT Barnum. Or the next Gilbert Gottfried, whichever. The point is, Asher Heimermann is bi-winning. Asher Heimermann is a legitimate news story.

Believe in your dreams, kids, and never let 'em tell you it can't be done.

8. Not now. No, it's a thread about a legitimate news story involving a public figure.

We don't use the M-word around here.

7. We have not seen the last of Heimermann....

...i knew that back in 2008 when he spent a lot of time on DU and getting banned....

The kid has chutzpah.....I think he could be the next mayor of Sheboyganan (sp?) WI....

9. I hope not!

I live in Sheboygan, and Heimermann is acting like a 13-year old punk with his Facebook page.

13. I'm with you on the "who"?

I have no idea who this person is or how he is relevant in the world?
