Chris Christie for President

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is the anti-Obama. His battles with the New Jersey teachers' union are becoming legendary. His greatest asset is being able to explain things so that ordinary people can understand what's going on, rather than explaining that he's a lot smarter than you are, so you don't have to worry your pretty little head about it.

Most of us have sat around, beer in hand, and announced confidently that we could clean up the mess if we were governor (or president). Christie has -- so far -- conducted himself as if he is that guy.

Remember Crazy Bob Etheridge?

When paddling through a sea of shit one may rightly be criticised for leaning over and picking out one particular turd and exclaiming, "THIS is a piece of shit!" Of course it is: as far as the eye can see there's nothing but shit. Nevertheless, a piece of shit is a piece of shit.

In the sea of pompous, self-important twits that is the Congress of the United States, Bob Etheridge, a Democrat member of Congress (NC 2), is just one more turd. Here's Bob back in June:

The votes are apparently still being counted in the NC Second, but "Who Are You!" Bob is trailing. Pompous Bob's challenger is Renee Ellmers, a nurse by profession, making her first run for public office. She's young, conservative, works for a living, pays her bills.

Recounts are expensive. Just sayin'.

Barney Who?

What if you were running for Congress against Barney Frank, 43% of the voters in your district had never heard of you, but you were only trailing by 10 percentage points?  Meet Sean Bielat.

What's that you ask?  Why, yes, there IS a way to send money.
