Casual Soapbox

Casual Soapbox is a blog, the purpose of which is to provide me with a venue to expound upon politics, popular culture, religion, humor, and any other topic that boils my blood. I'd love to say I have big plans for this site, but I don't, except to bloviate pompously, deprecate myself and others, practice my verbal skills, and pathetically imitate popular people I admire. So, if any of that appeals to you, this blog's for you!

Granny Slap-Suit

According to the Houston Chronicle, Texas Comptroller and independent candidate for Texas governor Carole Keeton Strayhorn is suing the Texas Secretary of State... again... to be called "Grandma" on the ballot. Is it just me, or have we all had enough of Granny Slap-Suit? Bring back One Tough Grandma. She was peppy.

Anyway, I still say she should be trying to get on as "Your Grandma", and drop all those other names. That'd be a sure winner. For example, here is what the ballot might look like:

  • Richard "Kinky" Friedman (Independent)
  • Rick "Guv'nah" Perry (Republican)
  • Chris "[null]" Bell (Democrat)
  • Your Grandma (Independent)

How would you vote? (I would vote for Bell, despite the null, but this is about you.)

Charles Kuffner has more. As does SuperWow at PinkDome.
