I try not to wade into politics. The whole thing is exhausting\u2026 But I\u2019ll go ahead and cash in on the election fever so GS will get more hits and my five followers will stop asking me when the next update is going to be.
\n<\/p>\n

First, though, let\u2019s talk about Richard Mourdock, the Indiana Senate candidate who said pregnancy from rape is god\u2019s intent. A comment that, actually, is a bit softer than the whole \u201clegitimate rape\u201d thing, but still has me a little bit confused. Why do these middle American mouth-breathers keep making these crazy comments about rape? The legitimate rape guy was Iowa or something, right? What\u2019s going on out there across America\u2019s vast, red belly?<\/p>\n

Of course, the urban coastal fringes all have one thought: We should all drive into the Heartland and rape us some daughters. It sort of taps into that Romulus and Remus thing. We\u2019re a bunch of single transients. Let\u2019s abduct every single woman from our neighbors and brutally rape them and have that be our first step in the founding of an empire that\u2019ll last nearly 3000 years!<\/p>\n

Or is that just me? It may just be me. I\u2019m not sure. It\u2019s hard to tell because I\u2019m a shut-in and I don\u2019t have conversations with anyone except for the pet adoptions listed on the Silver Spring Patch<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n\u201cRape is legitimate.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

All this rape stuff has given me an idea. These Midwest yokels are reaching for their 15 minutes of fame, right? And, if they can do it, then so can I! I’ve always thought I\u2019d be great for some local office. Certainly better than, say, my robotic State Senator (a Unitarian who went to Georgetown Prep and has a small jaw and a poor tooth-to-gum ratio).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n\u201cKill them all, Nacho!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

I think my Maryland district is ripe for an unusual candidate\u2026and my road to success will be to make some sort of outlandish comment about rape. Maybe something like : “I think rape is how teddy bears are born.”<\/p>\n

Then, in the shocked silence that follows, I can hold up a teddy bear and make it wave at the camera. Nacho Sasha for Congress! *teddy bear wave, sad face*<\/p>\n

“Mr. Sasha, can you explain your recent comments on rape?”<\/p>\n

“Hi Tony. No, I’m afraid not. I was five martinis in and late for a date with a very expensive hooker.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n\u201cNacho! You must cleanse the Earth of the hated humans! You must tear out the throats of babies!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

I mean, if this shit works for you stupid fucks in the Midwest, it\u2019ll certainly work for the mouth-breathers in Maryland. They love to be outraged and, let\u2019s face it, when you look at the Maryland ballot it\u2019s just about the opposite of outrage. I\u2019m surprised Romney\u2019s even on there. Certainly the President is the only part that matters. A Maryland ballot is basically a list of vampire-incumbents running unopposed. Vote for no more than three of the following three candidates who have been on the Board of Education for the last 500 years since the last Vampire War!<\/p>\n

Yay.<\/p>\n
