I Am Withdrawing My Candidacy

I was totally wrong in that last post...I HAD written something about politics before, which would have made the last post my SECOND politics related post ever.

And this will be the THIRD.

Capital LETTERS. What writer use for emPHASis.

Can We Just Agree That You Both Have a Huge Impact on the Election?

Without a doubt, the most important debate at the University of Texas this week took place on the West Mall just 20 minutes ago, featuring an Obama supporter reminding people about his rally in downtown Austin tonight and a Ron Paul supporter handing out flyers about his rally on campus tomorrow:

Paul Supporter: That's not the way it works in other countries.
Obama Supporter: I've been to 25 countries. How many have you been to?
Paul Supporter: Well all I know is that I shouldn't have to be penalized if I don't want health care! I use preventative measures--its called riding a bike, eating well, being outdoors!!

Take THAT, Lance Armstrong! You got cancer because you...didn't eat well, I guess? Hmm. Also, wouldn't you want health care if you were...riding...a...bike?

And just so that I appear unbiased here in my first politically related post ever...to Magellan of the 21st Century, who's been to 25 countries, which I think qualifies you for World Traveler Status on Pan Am: when you are circumnavigating the globe on the Mimi, do me a favor and tell people you're from, let's say, Canada. Thanks.

At Least they Wanted to Vote

I'm sure CNN is very happy to keep this article on their front page all day. It makes Texans seem so educated, right?

More than 1,000 calls poured into the Bexar County Elections Department on
Monday from voters wanting to know where they could vote in Tuesday's primary.
Problem is -- Texas isn't holding a primary on Tuesday, like more than 20 states
are.

This is so like those Texans--always trying to be more like Maine and West Virginia. No state pride down there.
