08 indys [CAUTION: DISTURBING IMAGE(S)]

With Sen. McCain the presumptive Republican nominee, true conservatives like me can't vote Republican...so I am considering all the independents running for election in 08...

...except him.

I would have to say I've never seen a more hysterical campaign poster. I died laughing for like five minutes when I saw it.

That scary looking dude is Frank Moore, independent communist running for office. It is now official, folks, liberalism is not only a mental disorder, but it can also lead to debilitating eww-ness.

How insane does this guy have to be think he has a chance? The thought of him being president is not even a lame joke. It should be a crime to tell "certain" people they could be the next president.

Check out Frank Moore's delusional policies*

*in case you missed it, i don't support franky.

Hmm...Australia Day

"...Not Remotely. Because Iocane comes from Australia - as everyone knows - and Australia is entirely peopled with criminals, and criminals are used to having people not trust them, as you are not trusted by me, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you...."
-Vizzini, The Princess Bride

Today [1.28.08]...is Australia Day...which... is all about...well... I don't know... and I most certainly am not going to waste my time looking it up, you can do it if you want.

I have never been, and really don't have any overbearing desire to visit Australia (though I always and will always live with the constant desire to visit every square inch of this planet), but Australians have a funny accent, kangaroos (criekey!), iocane poison, and other nondescript features, so I figured I would recognize their national holiday.

In 'celebration' of Australia Day, I like to listen to Australian Reggae, as it were, namely, Men at Work, and their catchy tune, Down Under.

Happy Australia Day, You Criminal.

I'm a Texan, but how much?

'I'm from Texas, What Country are you from?'

I saw that quote on a T-shirt the other day.

I love Texas, there is no state like it (no, how dare you say I'm biased!), but I wonder how much of a Texan I am sometimes.
You see, I say Ya'll (actually, I find it hard to come up with an alternative phrase) quite frequently, and every now and then you hear Yonder come from my lips, but I don't ever say Twiced (twice) or Onced (once), and I only say Concreke (concrete, for those of you in Rio Lindo) sarcastically (sarcasm? me?). Also, I'm quite used to 100+ degree Summers in Texas - as long as I'm in the air conditioning, but I can't hardly stand talking about the weather, 'Is eet hawt enuff fer ya, son?', how in the name of Robert E. Lee (GOD rest his soul) am I supposed to respond to that? If the person that asked me that wasn't 305 years old, I'd have said, 'Do I have a choice? Why, you idiot, does it matter if it's hot enough for me, WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT IT?'. I guess that's a problem, to be a Texan that doesn't like 'small talk'.

Well, I don't remember if I had a point when I started this post, so, I guess I'm done for now.

If yer ever in the neighborhood, Ya'll come site a spell in Texas, you won't regret it (well, maybe if you come in august when it's 80,000 degrees, and you feel like one giant mosquito bite).

Bags for the bay (this is great!)

Who says Glenn Beck is a hatemonger? They must not have heard about his current charitable project, 'Bags for the Bay'. Check it out, it's pretty funny.
