And he's republican. Us sensible republicans just can't catch a break.

A perfect example of why I've decided to give my "beliefs" no label at all besides human.

Doesn't this guy know that vampires in 2010 are only in shape and youthful looking. How would a creature that only feeds on human blood be over weight?

I realize that human doesn't classify as a belief but labels are con.

Someone that looks like that is just what both parties deserve. Who better to go to the circus of government than clowns and people who got sidetracked on their way to dragoncon...

I agree with you except for the DragonCon bit. Not all of us that go to those conventions are the weirdos. They're there in spades to be sure, but there are also quite a few well adjusted people that attend.

con = con

There's no way around a tautology, that's why we coined the phrase

I figured as much, however I still stand by the fact that the ones people think of when a Con is mentioned are the extreme minority at conventions. It's like the news reporting about a tornado. They don't interview the guy living in a mansion, or even the middle class guy in the suburbs, it's always the toothless guy in a wife beater living in a trailer park.

If there is a state that can get behind a larper for governor, I feel like Florida is that state.  Just think, you could set a record as going from the tannest governor to the palest.

Why would we elect someone that has no grip on reality?  It's also not very groundbreaking to want to be tough on child abusers.  Kind of a no-brainer, even if his ideas for punishment are unique.
