More political satire, this time from a guy in Kansas running for state representative. He manages to lampoon advertising, image being more important than issues, campaign contributions, voter apathy and the movie 300.

I like the concept... definitely a new approach.

"OK. More cynical" Love it, Ven, especially the nice ironic twist at the end.

Damn you V,

I am now, considering if it would even be feasible to run in 2 years...

I can only imagine what my opponent would make of my membership to various communities.

You are both welcome. Hey, go ahead and run for office. Why not give it a shot!

That is fantastic! Hope the guy wins. Hell, I might send him some money. Anyone who is against Christianist stupidity is OK in my book.

Off the wall. It takes the light from the wall 34 minutes to get there.

For those of you who do not know me, that was a compliment.
