The Audacity of Nope!

So here's the deal and the premise of this blog:

1. John Gay, who is running for Congress from the 14th District of Texas (the seat is currently occupied by Dr. Ron Paul) came into my place-of-employ yesterday to introduce himself. Nice guy. Will probably vote for him in the primary.*

2. Homeboy and I disagree about a lot of stuff, though. I'm voting for the guy more as a protest and as a symbolic gesture in favor of grassroots commonsensicalism than ideology, or partisanship, or whatev.

3. I've often b.s.'ed about running for Congress. I went to law school and passed the bar exam, and although I decline to practice, being a lawyer makes me morally "fit" enough to be a legislator, right? I'm a (pre-transition, pre-op/non-op, MTF) transwoman, so you know that means I don't have any shocking skeletons in my closet (though I do have a lot of shoes). I still don't have a fantastic career yet, and you know what they say -- a politician is just a lawyer gone bad. And honey, I'm awful.

4. But I have more important things to do, like work (60 hours per week+), blog, play with my ham radios, do my tranny thang, find a girlfriend (yeah, I'm a big fat lesbian too), lose weight, watch football, lose weight WHILE watching football, etc etc.

5. So this blog is where I would say, what I would say, if I were campaigning for Congress. Also, other stuff.

* I actually consider myself a Democrat, and was a precinct chair and captain for Obama in 2008 before Hurricane Ike ruined everything. I'm voting in the GOP primary this year because it is the only way that I can legally vote against this guy twice in one year -- and boyhowdy, does he deserve every bit of scorn that I can throw.
