i thunk so

Apparently, the campaign for governor in Virginia is so important that the President has begun calling each household individually. I guess those trips on AF1 get a little dull. I’m honored that I’m high enough on his list to have been one of the lucky ones he had time to call. I also found it fascinating that his number is — and this could only be the President’s number — 000-000-0000. I wonder how much the taxpayers are paying for a hot phone number like that. I bet all the biggest corporations are clamoring for it. If you dial that number, do you get to talk to 10 operators at once? I was gonna return his call, but I was busy at my own job.

The President is also making a stop in Richmond, VA, tonight to stump for Republican candidate Jerry Kilgore. Tomorrow I’ll vote. As a conservative, I would normally be inclined to vote for Kilgore (the Republican), but since he kept Russ Potts — the independent candidate — out of the debates, I don’t think I will. I definitely can’t vote for Tim Kain’s brand of socialism (it’s working so well for the French right now). I guess I will probably vote for the guy who has no chance of winning.

So Mr. Kilgore, if you’re reading this: you lost me when you bought into the two-party monopoly. Nothing annoys me more than politicians who think they own the system.
