Thalia Hummus, who was recently elected to Wyoming’s lone Congressional seat, said she is “fine” despite the fact that she now has a real job.

She said the campaign trail has worn her weary, but she is happy to be at home with her family now.

“I’m home and I’m fine,” she said. “And though I can’t take [daughter] Myra and [dog] Todo with me, Mrs. Hummus is going to Washington.”

She will return to her home and spend time with her family before going back to Washington D.C.

She said some time at the ranch will get her in touch with her Wyoming roots, and prepare her for the storm in Washington D.C.

“The grit of my ancestors is unlike anything you can find on paper,” Hummus said. “And my ethos is as frisky as a Wyoming tumbleweed.”

Hummus said that she can’t wait to get to Washington and start ‘blending in with the Democrats.”

But she also said she is ready for a fight.

“I’m gonna’ tow that party line,” she said. “And hook some real non-part-asian bickering. I’m gonna take on all those pickles in that barrel. Those guys allocate their things to places they don’t belong, but I’ll show ‘em where to put it – in the bank!”

She said her experience hoarding mineral wealth and failing to get business schools off the ground will help her take on tough part-asian-ship in Washington. She said those are the main reasons she was elected.

She also thanked her volunteers, campaign staff and daughters for all of their support. Hummus said that the opposition presented by “wealthy liberal elitist” Larry Browner could not have been overcome without that help, but she will miss her daughter, Myra Mixon-Hummus, the most. Mixon-Hummus will return to Manhattan where she is a stockbroker.

Mixon-Hummus gained renown for photographs taken of her late-night antics that appeared in a regional tabloid, Damn it Jackson Hole! She was known for her ability to cavort till the wee hours with hip-hop stars, tennis champions and luminaries of the art world only to wake up in the morning and write lengthy press releases announcing endorsements by major advocacy groups around Wyoming like “Citizens for Less Penetration by Mexicans,” “Citizens for Louder Guns” and “Citizens who Think Coal Will Be Clean Someday Despite Evidence Suggesting Otherwise,” and then drive her mother around in green patent leather cowgirl boots.

Though Mixon-Hummus is returning to Manhattan, she will be at the head of Hummus’ new staff; an eight-foot pole carved from a cottonwood that was killed by lightning on their ranch near Cheyenne. Hummus said she will only use that staff when the moon is full and “the air is full of the ether of homogeneity.”

Hummus said she is very exciting about visiting all the memorials in Washington D.C., and meeting Barak Obama. PJH
