The Blogchurian Candidate
The natural evolution of the blogosphere continues. The next link in the chain, from writing withering and anonymous social commentary in our underwear to running for office and serving in high level government positions ... in our underwear. Actually, I'm not sure about that last part (although it's one hell of a campaign promise and if you've got the legs for it, it seems like guaranteed electoral magic). But blogger/physician extraordinaire Babs, from Girl in Right, has officially thrown her hat into the ring. She's running for the City Council of Golden, CO and promises to make it an Internet friendly (that is, voyeuristic) experience:
Never did I imagine that the power of the right wing blogosphere, the same that took down Dan Rather and Eason Jordan, not to mention the impact on Chad The Elder's choice of skating costumes, would sweep me into the land of no-turning-back. If I get clobbered now, I get clobbered in your basements and bedrooms, all for your entertainment while you sip the drink of your choice, surf the web, and ignite static electricity sparks while rubbing your fuzzy slippers against your shag carpet. So much for private humiliation.
We of course heartily endorse the candidacy of Girl in Right. Smart, funny, professional conservatives are exactly the type of folks we need in government. It just so happens these kind of people are disproportionately represented in the blogosphere. And we hope MSM prejudices don't lead to any backlash towards Babs. But, in case of any McCarthyite investigations into her past associations, if Babs needs plausible deniability about ever being associated with Fraters Libertas as the "Golden Girl" we'll claim that was just the Atomizer, exploring his more feminine, and strangely also more athletic, side (the girl does have 2 NCAA rings). As recompense, we ask only to never have to worry about parking tickets in Golden, CO again. Run, Girl in Right, Run!
