Vic Rawl, the favorite in the race, is considering protesting the outcome

My first thought when you showed me this was the amazing Peter Seller’s movie, “Being There.” It seems I wasn’t the only one, seeing as someone posted the trailer in the comments of the CNN video.

This is really astounding. I admit, I’ve been sort of out of the loop for the past month now that my commute is maybe once ever two weeks. I should really just start putting on NPR every morning, if not solely to follow this amazing story.

I don’t really think there is anything more nefarious to this story than the fact that the Democratic party leadership is a bunch of mismanaged, disorganized morons and they are so clueless that an unemployed guy with no campaign and no money could win their primary over an actually candidate.

Here’s an interview with someone who served in the military with Alvin Greene.

From the soldier interview:
“He was being very lazy and working the system to get by.”

Sounds like the majority of senators and reps to me!

Howard Stern played some clips from interviews with this guy yesterday. He didn’t even know the name of his Republican opponent. He was clearly reading the name off of something when responding to the question, and it seemed as though he thought “incumbent” might be part of the guy’s name. He also couldn’t answer even the simplest of questions about any issues, and repeatedly said just that he was the best candidate for the job.

This is all very weird and kind of scary.

But his name reminded me of Al Green so I voted for him!

Anyone get the uncomfortable feeling that the sort of people that bitch and moan about wanting to ban smoking in their early 20’s are the same people that, in 10 years, are going to bitch and moan about how precious their lousy, bratty children are and that we should change all television programming and videogame content to cater to their morality? 10 years after that, they’re going to whine and pule about needing to hobble the internet so that the specter of potential pornography won’t haunt their lousy, teenaged children. 10 years after that, they’re going to lobby their home owner’s association to enforce the lawn-tending and house-paint color bylaws against neighbors they don’t like. 10 years after that, they’ll start railing against estate taxes that will tax the inheritence their lousy, entitled children. By that point, of course, I’ll be dead from second-hand smoke and won’t need to hear about it any more.

They never stop being nervous, spineless navel-gazers, they just find new things to complain about. All their lives. They remind me of the kids that would tattle on classmates for chewing gum or writing notes in class.
