13th district politics
On May 2nd NC held its primary election. On May 9th I received my first mailing from recently victorious Republican candidate Vernon Robinson. Most of the good stuff is in this page on his website, but the best stuff is reserved for esteemed unaffiliated voters like myself. Besides the classy signed graduation photo from the Air Force Academy class of 1977, it also includes some excellent double entendre or at least single entendre about his opponent Brad Miller's sexual affiliation. In a missive titled "Brad Miller's San Francisco Soul Mate," I learned that DailyKos hosts an online diary for Rep. Miller. This is the actual 2nd sentence (and it's in bold font) "Brad Miller has gotten into bed with Markos Moulitsas Zuniga, a 35-year-old musician who was raised in El Salvador before moving to San Francisco." I know from other bold faced type that "Brad Miller is a childless, middle-aged, personal injury lawyer." And despite the fact that he's married, I know that all of this makes him gay and thus unfit to serve as my congressman. No wonder Robinson is called the "black Jesse Helms."

I got a phone call today from Vern (ok it was a recorded message), but it was the same as the radio ad featured in the "black Jesse Helms" link. The election is still 5 months away. This is going to be awesome. I hope he doesn't find out I'm passing on his message to like minded individuals (although not like his mind) and cuts me out of the loop.
