Texans

There is something within me that recoils at the thought of Texas.

I'm not sure what it is. Maybe all my bad experiences with texans have piled up until I can't help but dislike the whole state.
Tonight certainly didn't help matters. Tonight texas democrats voted for Hillary Clinton.
Something tells me that I will read this post years from now and feel a twinge of shame (assuming the world isn't engulfed in an apocolyptic, internet-ending disaster by then). Perhaps it is the fact that I have dared to stand up against the pre-destined order of things, like the people who voted for Nader. Perhaps it is simply the fact that I misspelled the word "apocalyptic".
In either case, tonight has cemented my faith in the ability of the American people to find the most radioactive crud they possibly can and make it president for eight years.
A few days ago as I clocked in for work I commented on the nearness of the democratic primaries. One of the supervisors snorted. "It doesn't matter" he said. "Clinton and Obama are both socialists. What we need is another president like Reagan." I lifted a quizzical eyebrow. I had never understood the logic of Reagan's disciples, but I had learned not to comment on it. The man continued. "Reagan made the country feel good about itself!" he said.

I pondered this, and concluded that he was right. Reagan did make the country feel good about itself. On the other hand, so did cannabis. Unfortunately for the republican faithful, Reagan has since passed on to the land where seventy-two brown eyed houri will wait upon him, eternal virgins whom he may repeatedly deflower, or whatever version of paradise it is that neocons believe in. In any case, Reagan has passed on. Weed, however, is still very much alive. Not only that, but it has a strong international influence, good trade connections, and is a favorite with many in our armed forces. Combine that with weed's ability to ease both the physical and financial pains of seniors, and you have a good presidential candidate!

Weed for president! (hey, it's better than Hillary)

In case any of my friends read this: get a grip guys it's a political statement. I've never even seen the stuff.

Lol, I was like.. Uh, Chris.. How's college?

=p

On the other hand, let's play "Guess that presidential candidate"

"Uh, I agree with my opponent completely, however I would like to make the smallest change to their agenda, the continue to preach about change without actually stating what I am changing."

I'll give you three guesses, and the first two don't count.
