Todd for prez

Call me crazy but I’d like to see what Bill Todd could do as Columbus Mayor. I know it’s not going to happen, but I honestly believe it would be an amusing four years.

If elected Todd says he will take over Columbus City Schools and fight crime. I’d like to see that, especially if he wears a cape while doing so.

When I was in high school I was constantly amused by the antics of Toledo Mayor Carty Finkbinder. While in office this man threw a coffee mug at his secretary, got in a shouting match with another politician and suggested that the city move all the deaf people to the neighborhoods around the airport because they can’t hear the planes landing and taking off.

It may have been an unproductive term, but it was amusing. Toledo constantly made the national news for all the stupid moves Carty made.

And just a FYI, a few years later Toledo again voted Carty into office. The city may suck, but they know the value of having an amusing mayor.

On bathrooms and denial

Is there something about being a politician that makes you do stupid stuff and get caught?

I can’t help but believe my theory may have proof from a certain Idaho politician. In another bonehead move from a politician, an Idaho senator was arrested for trying to proposition an undercover officer in an airport bathroom. I won’t go into the obvious stupidity of that move, but I want to talk about his apology.

Craig said, “I’m not gay. I love my wife, I love my family and I love Idaho.”

I can only assume that if you ARE gay you can’t love your wife, family or Idaho, but no one can really blame the gays for the latter.

I’ve never understood why our government can’t just keep it in their pants during their terms. I’d think they were too busy to think about screwing an intern in the oval office or text messaging high school pages, but apparently this county pretty much runs itself.

I’d really like to have someone in office who thinks policy, economics and the general state of the U.S. is more interesting that getting spanked by a hooker wearing a bunny costume at a Hotel 8.

Can you hear my head shaking?

If you can't, let me describe it to you-- It's in Shame.
I just saw a story that says Clinton and Giuliani are leading in Ohio polls.
I guess I really shouldn't expect more from Ohio, but I am ashamed.
I haven't decided who to throw my support behind yet because I know its a big decision. Once I show my favorite in the 2008 presidential bid, I know everyone will follow me.
It may be early, but I'm pretty sure these two dolts won't get my endorsement.
I won't even start on question-dodging, yes-man Clinton (and I mean man).
After seeing Giuliani sporting heels on Saturday Night Live, he's been among my top choices. A sense of humor is paramount for anyone who deals with a lot of stress, not to mention a country.
But the shambles of his personal life and his non-answers and no plan for the War in Iraq are alarming.
Clinton has an excuse for not making up her mind- she's a woman. But Giuliani needs to get his act together before I start respecting him again.
I suggest that you get your act together as well, Ohio. Do a little reading on the primary candidates, so the next poll I see isn't based solely on name recognition. You'll no longer get by only recognizing the names of OSU football players.
I don't like to chastise you like this, but it's for your own good.

More on HC

I was listening to NPR and I heard one clueless voter say she would vote for Hilary Clinton based solely on the fact that she's a woman.

.... Does anyone else see significant problems with that kind of reasoning? If HC is president we can only hope for that sort of like-minded reasoning.-- 'The president of France called me ugly so we're going to bomb him,' or 'The Queen of England said she liked my shoes so I'm putting an embargo on all trading with the exception of England.'

I'm not saying that we can't have a female president, I'm just saying we should be a little but more choosy. Maybe someone who's not hideous, obnoxious and can keep her husband in line.

I also feel very comfortable with questioning the 'fact' that HC is a woman. Where's the proof?

Canada is looking Viable

My greatest fear is coming closer to reality each day.
I keep hearing about presidential debates and hearing Hilary Clinton referred to as a "front runner" makes my sphincter tighten.
I can't imagine her as president and every time I try I go into seizures. Really.
I can only hope that in the post-apocalyptic world in which Hilary Clinton is president that I am far, far away from America.
What country is furthest away from America? That's where you'll be able to find me if Clinton wins in 2008.
God help us all.

Global Warming? Never Heard of It

Yesterday a top NASA guy told NPR he doesn't think global warming will be a bad thing for earth.
Today the scientific community is all but calling for his crucifixion.
When the AP called the NASA guy for a comment, he wouldn't talk. But NASA's public relations did blame NPR for asking him about global warming....?

In other global warming news, Bush has finally admitted that he believes in global warming and will even start working on some restrictions to reduce emissions.
Al Gore reportedly said 'Finally!' and then packed up his industrial-strength hairdryer and left the Arctic.

Rudy: Indecision 2008

Thanks to Slate my vote in the primary may have been deterred from former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani. The man had me at his first kick when he showed up on SNL in high heals among a line of chorus girls, but after finding out about his personal life, I'm not so sure.
Cons: I don't like kids, but he is pro-choice.
His son isn't talking to him.
He's been married three times-- so basically he doesn't learn a lesson.
Rudy announced the separation from his second wife in a press conference before he told her (classy!).
His law firm lobbies for Venezuelan-owned Citgo.
He's been "awarded" the life-time achievement award for blocking free expression.
Pros: He's a very loose Republican.
He's appeared in drag a few times and he wore heals in a kick line on SNL.

Hmmm, perhaps I should stop basing my political decisions on whether or not the candidate feels good in drag..... I guess we'll see what happens as the shitstorm of a primary rolls on.

Shame on you, Ohio Democrats!

Sure, we don't always agree on policy, spending or the war. Often times I think of your membership in the Democratic Party as a disease you were born with or some fatal flaw your parents made when raising you (maybe mommy didn't hug you enough), but this weekend you went too far.

You gave Hillary Clinton money? I really thought you knew better. Here comes some Flanders-style finger wagging.

How could you support that liberal nutjob? Do you really want nationalized healthcare and voting for convicts?

How will the world respect a woman who can't keep her husband in line? It's going to be World War III up in here!

Come on people. If we're going to ever get a woman in the White House, how about a hot one? The Europeans would love that...
