Re-elect Deb Hadcock, the presumably-transsexual candidate!

JSLAB sent me a message requesting/demanding that I do something about Arizona Governor Jan Brewer’s recent gaffe. A few hours later, I finished this campaign commercial, highlighting Brewer’s pause and warnings about beheadings in Arizona.

Until yesterday, I lived in Arizona, and I can personally say that I have not been beheaded once. Still, just to be safe, I’ll be going to Vegas tomorrow to meet up with my brother, and we’ll be driving to Michigan.

Isn’t it about time that I, Kevin R. Breen of FAILocracy did something, I don’t know, HEROIC? Yes. It is time.

Below is an image of the official election rules for Nettleton Middle School’s 2010 officer elections.

You can see more details about this in my write-up at When Falls the Coliseum.

ASSMAN for Senate!
I snapped this photo while driving by the other day. Rodney Glassman, Arizona candidate for US senate, has an unfortunate name. Even more unfortunate is the fact that his center-aligned campaign signs are easily-vandalized to appear left-aligned.

I have to cover a lot in this episode. First, Sarah Palin has been caught reading notes from her hand again. Second, is Dick Cheney dead? Third, Jimmy Hoffa’s body has been found! Last, a pheromone can make you irresistible.

“I’m kevin breen from FAILocracy.com, and I’ve got a lot to talk about today. First, a brief story about Sarah Palin. Next, is Dick Cheney dead? Then, as a result of the biggest scoop in my journalistic career: I will reveal the location of missing labor organizer Jimmy Hoffa’s body. After that, researchers at Harvard medical school have stumbled upon a pheromone that will make people irresistible to the opposite sex that can be created with simple household ingredients.

First, I just want to get the palin story out of the way.
Sarah Palin was caught reading notes on economic policy from her hand on Fox News Sunday. This isn’t the first time Palin has been embarrassed when footage of notes on her hand got out. I’m just going to move on to the next story because this is just embarrassing for her and her party…”

This is a collection of clips from everyone’s favorite politician, Basil Marceaux (DotCom). He wants you to carry a gun. He wants you to sell grass. He wants you to have a nice day!

As of this writing, Basil MarceauxDotCom is polling apparently polling around 1%, for the gubernatorial election in Tennessee, which means he’s not beating the margin of error, but it also means that, when pollsters asked people who they were voting for, somebody said Basil MarceaxDotCom (or just Basil Marceax).

In his own words:

“I’m Basil Marceaux.com, the Republican candidate for governor. I’d like to recall all permits and registrations for guns. Everyone carry guns. If you kill someone though, you get murdered, you go to jail. And, uh, I’d like to put… plant grass or vegetation across the state or any vacant lot, and sell it for gas, so we can use it, use it for our expenses.

Also I wanna remove all gold fringed flags from the state, and fly the real flag with three stripes. I also want to stop traffic stops. Set it up like the Supreme Court ruled in Knowles versus Iowa – you can’t find innocent car, you can’t look. I want youse all to vote for Basil Marceaux. I want you to say a pledge of allegiance to a republicdom in the morning when you come out, and we all pray to God… and say Amen… and… everyone have a nice day. And I’ll see y’all at the polls.

Thank you… Have a nice day.”

John McCain told Newsweek that he never considered himself to be a maverick. Here are some videos of him claiming to be a maverick.

(NECN/ABC) – If only she had caller ID. A phone call to a Florida congresswoman just didn’t have the ring of truth, so she gave the caller the bruth. Turns out, the guy she left hanging was a VIP: President-Elect Barack Obama.

Representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen has a hangup. A paranoia about prank calls. So when a man sounding very much like the president-elect called her, she hung up.

Stripper arrested 22 times for impersonating a police officer

It turns out that protesting freelance journalists in “stripper” costumes aren’t the only ones who get arrested for impersonating police officers. Telegraph.co.uk reported that Stuart Kennedy, a 25-year-old college student, has been arrested 22 times for “impersonating a police officer,” but he hasn’t been convicted once.

Still, it seems like, after the 21st time getting arrested, he would have said, “Hey, maybe I’ll NOT wear the police officer costume today.” He could have gone out as a construction worker or a sailor, or any of the other Village People.
