I don't have the brainpower for one of my typically witty, charming, and vastly entertaining posts today (plus, I am currently supposed to be "working" right now), but after watching extended Super Tuesday coverage yesterday, I have one important thing to say - particularly to all you Texans out there. But first, let me pontificate a bit:

Most of us Texas Dimmercrats have developed a strong apathy regarding our ability to influence anything when it comes to politics. This is understandable, as the average rootin-tootinest, deer-shootinest Texan don't vote fer no lib'ral Commies that ain't shot nothin' dead before, which results in assured Republican victories at the polls. However, this isn't a given this time around...

For the first time in a good while, the Democratic candidates will be campaigning in Texas, and the uproar that ol' Dubya has caused will be driving a LOT more Dems out to vote than ever before. We don't like to cause trouble, really, but Georgie...buddy...you done embarrassed us but good.

Also, studies are showing that, more than ever before, kids don't feel obligated to vote the way their parents do. We've got parents who want to preserve things like Social Security, and we've got youngsters that are demanding reform. Split households! Well, I never...

Thus, there's a reasonable chance that - if we pursue it - the Democrats can actually win Texas.

Yes, it's true!

So...and here's the one thing: pay attention to what's going on this time around, and don't feel powerless about the upcoming elections - go vote!

Oh crap. That's three things. Dang.



And if you're a Republican, then...well, vote for Obama. He mentions Reagan ALL the time, and I know you already hate Mrs. Clinton (if not for her policy, then because she has boobs).

I know Barack's one of those people that you just really don't like, but consider the field -- Huckabee's nuts, Romney's far too smart, and McCain...uh...finds badgers attractive.

  1. OH MY!! I had to sit down. Is this my best friend being politically involved? You almost sound like you might use your vote for good this time around(remember the nader fiasco of 04). I am as proud as I can be. Here I thought I was cultivating a radical liberal all these years.

    Here's to eight years of allowing aborted gay stem-cell fetuses to marry and fight in wars!

    Cheers!
