Time To Have Fun In Outstate Missouri!

All right, enough time has gone by that I've finished laughing and have started to grow an actual concern for what is going on in a couple of races here in Missouri.

One of them is fairly obvious -- it involves a guy in Springfield who believes he should be the next congressman from Southwest Missouri, and is asking voters to bump Roy Blunt out in his favor in the republican primary set for August.

Now, normally, this wouldn't be an issue, except that this guy thinks he's a she! Not only does he dress as a woman, but he has also (thanks to a gift from someone) spent the WHOPPING TOTAL of $110 to have his name legally changed from Mitchell to Midge Potts!

You know, the first thing that strikes me is ... if you can't even afford the lousy hundred and ten bucks that it takes to get your name legally changed in court, why the hell should we trust that you have unique insights into the federal government and its role in the world and at home? Obviously, this whacko is unemployed and looking for publicity. Although he claims that is not what he's up to, he has yet to turn down an interview from any news organization looking to interview him. Not only that, but he demands that he be referred to as a "she," and other feminine terms throughout any articles about him.

Sorry, Mitchy boy. You were born with a penis, you continue to possess one (not in a jar on the shelf) and you're a he. Your chromosomes don't lie!

For a veteran of the United States military to take this turn is just pathetic. To hold your head up high while walking through the "Bible Belt" in SW Missouri, demanding that you be referred to as something you're not is even weaker.

The only thing I can think of is thank goodness he is on the republican ballot, so that he can be eliminated in August. Democrats would have probably jumped all over this one and made him their nominee, while going on about how "courageous SHE is being," as a candidate!

And frankly, he doesn't make a very handsome woman, either! But at least he plucked those brows!

Now that THAT is out of the way ... the next race is straight out of the thriving metropolis of Salem, where (are you ready for this??) Chief Wana Dube is a candidate for the state House of Representatives!

"The Chief's" website can be viewed here, while we all sit and wonder how on Earth something like this could have happened! While you're looking at his website, feel free to read his ideas, view or listen to his many interviews, check out his blog or hey -- you can even buy a rock! Now, I'm guessing that's not slang for drugs, but he openly is campaigning on a pro-drug platform.

"Put a Hippie To Work In '06," is his campaign slogan. He even points out in his blog that he was "excommunicated by the Jehovah's Witnesses!" WHAT?? I thought the JWs were full of druggies and alcoholics! Oh, excuse me -- FORMER druggies and current alcoholics! He complains that he was arrested and the government took "my seeds, my garden, my plants, my farm, my family and my future wife."

Anyone want to guess what kind of plants these were that contributed to this seizure?

According to news reports, Chief Wana Dube credits the late-Governor Mel Carnahan for allowing his legal name change to proceed. Thanks, Mel!

Well, as long as we're having fun, we may as well point out that the good Chief is running as a libertarian, not a republican or a democrat.

Feast your eyes and marvel at how the world might be under the influence of Chief Wana Dube!
