Chuck Norris For Governor

So, the Election for pretty much every office except President is coming up in a few days, and the Campaign Commercials have been great. Did you know Rick Perry wants us all to breathe in Dirty Air and wants our Babies to get birth defects so that his Kids will look better by comparison? I've known that for years, but now it's out there for everyone to see. Then there's one running up here in the Dallas area for some dude, and he is sitting in a huge plush couch surrounded by his Loving Family Members. And all of the sudden, moved by a spontaneous urge to tell the World just how great her Grandfather is, the blond-haired, blue-eyed six year old on his lap starts talking about how her Grandaddy just wants the Best for everyone and he is just a giant Teddy Bear. During the seventy-eighth airing of this commercial today, I noticed that the Grandaddy Teddy Bear was mouthing the words along with the Kid. I mean, this Chick is already being paid in Lollipops and Bear Hugs...do you have to further insult her by mouthing her lines with her?

I also enjoy the slogans. "Kinky Friedman: Why the Hell Not?" Classic. "Carol Keaton Strayhorn: One Tough Grandma." Why are all these Grandparents running for office? Who is at home with plastic-covered furniture handing out old mints and five dollar bills?

But, I don't have to worry about who I'm voting for, because I just found out yesterday that Rick Perry is being endorsed by none other than CHUCK NORRIS. My friends, anyone who is good enough for the King of Cowboy Kung Fu is good enough for me.

Can I just say that I love Kinky's quote: "musicians could run the state better than politicians...hell, so could beauticians." Classic Austin.
