Unfortunately in my district my melanin content is insufficient to 
launch a successful campaign.  I am working with a woman who has the 
proper credentials in that regard, and is also otherwise extremely 
well-qualified, who is extremely interested, so that might work out better.


Plus, if I ever got elected I would have to deal with people like me all 
day, which would make me want to eat my gun.

Re: [MBZ] Hey Gerry, Our Politics Is Back!

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

I have given up on even paying much attention to the national political 
antics, nothing I can do about it so not worth getting worked up about.  
I focus on our local issues, the fools are much more accessible.  The 
other night there was a community meeting about a road project, the 
woman who is the County project manager gave an overview of the project, 
what to expect, etc.  Then of course the POed people in the room started 
in on her, at which point the County Council chairman, who is a raging 
a**h*** got the mikafone and proceeded to berate the citizens, which Did 
Not Go Over Well with many of them, who became quite vociferous in their 
disregard for him.  There were 2 other Council members there too, who 
managed to keep a low profile while this fool took the heat that he
