I don't want to get too bent out of shape, because this is Videogum. At least three people have downvoted me and only one has typed a reasoned reply. What?
I think ten thousand is a little high, but not impossible to raise.
I don't think it should be just anyone off the street running, but I'm all for having the option of voting for someone who isn't as deeply entrenched in the political 'system' (sorry everybody, I hate sounding like a first year poli-sci major) as the majority of the active Senate members.
Really, the responsibility is on the voters. All Alvin Greene did was pay the money to get his name on the ballot and have a name that put him first alphabetically.
I love this guy. Sure he's not prepared for a real campaign race and might be a creeper, but I'm all for everyday people running for office.
Alvin Greene isn't fit for office, but I'm thrilled to have a candidate that isn't a career politician. I would love it if he's could be the shape of things to come, and our government could be made up of actual citizens and not suit monsters.
Okay, idealismgum's done for the day, thanks!
I was so happy on New Year's Eve 2008, because according to 'Futurama' that's when suicide booths would enter the world. All year I kept thinking, "Maybe tomorrow!" and then when 2009 came around and I still didn't see them on the streets, I was way more upset then reasonable.
I got about half way through this thinking, "This doesn't look terrible, but why is it called 'Gulliver's Travels'? Don't they know that's about tiny people?" Then the tiny people happened and my brain exploded, because what?!?
I am super psyched for the third "The Fly" movie. Even though they've gotten rid of the flies and are now just focusing on the transporters that create horribly disfigured monsters, I think it's going to be great. I think they could even find a place for Heidi on that cast.
Right around 2:21 it seems like a back door opens, an unspecified person wondering "Why the fuck is there so much yelling in the alley behind my suburban home?" but Ginger Kid, the ever professional, only glances up for a moment. Brave even in the face of possible groundings.
Ladygum, up in here. I can't count the number of times I've had to take my shoes off one at a time on the freeway because you just can't drive in pretty things.
I saw the header and very much hoped Gabe was going to finally start reviewing and analyzing the new fashions in water pipes, as per my many requests. Let down once again.
"Why do politicians make us give the driver's license exam in twelve languages?"
BECAUSE WE HAVE NO OFFICIAL NATIONAL LANGUAGE.
Sorry, this hits close to home as a Texan.
My husband was playing videogames while I was watching this. After the clip had concluded he paused, turned to me and queried "Luuucccy, are you a Communist?". Just wanted to give you guys a heads-up about how awesome my life is.
