"Toute nation a le gouvernement qu’elle merite."

Or my favorite variation on that theme:

"Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard." - H. L. Mencken

I welcome our future Kardashian overlords.
Boob and butt implants for all!

And "Gopher"...

who now lives in the DC area and does conservative talk radio

Fred ended up being quite a good representative of Iowa. I honestly wish he would have won the governor's race here. As for his talk radio career, he stopped doing that in 2011 due to some...uh...shall we say controversial things he and his wife said about radical Islam.

But Kardashian as a mayor...isn't that like letting the patients run the nuthouse?

One of my favorite moments of my stint on Capitol Hill was watching Rep. Grandy entering one of the revolving doors at the Longworth House Office Building just as a pair of giggling teenagers were going out. When they realized it was Gopher opposite them through the glass, they stopped dead and began squealing and pointing, briefly trapping the freshman congressman in the doors in the process. He handled it well, with a smile and wave, and I got the impression it wasn't the first time for him.

And while we're on the subject of political celebs, don't forget Mayor Eastwood of Carmel-by-the-Sea.

ummm...I mentioned him on page 1

A Kardashian as Mayor of anything? Another sign of the Apocalypse. Thank God the Dallas Mavericks booted Odom out of town and he can take his yahoo K-dashian wife with him. Dallas/Ft. Worth doesn't need the drama or bad press. We can take care of that ourselves!

I hope it a hoax.   Sadly though if you ask who her sisters are people will name them but ask who their state rep is and 

She'll have to run for Mayor and Deputy-mayor. Her butt is going to need both seats.



P.S. Any city that votes her into office deserves to go down in flames.

OK... How about Congressman Ben Jones, AKA "Cooter" from Dukes of Hazzard?

And since we're keeping score, Le Pirate pirated my snarky remark from page one as well 

That's why he's a pirate!

Jesse Ventura?....Al Franken?

the people of Minnesota are strange

on the subject of Jesse the body

he did seem to truly believe in what he was doing

as for the others

I dunno I didn't have the opportunity to hear them speak

Arnold just seems to be smiling for the cameras

Jesse seemed genuinely pissed about a lot of shit

From wwtdd.com on the subject:

" In a new clip from “Khloe and Lamar,” Kim Kardashian says she wants to run for mayor of Glendale, but before you think this is yet another publicity stunt, she adds, “for real”. Not “real” enough to know that Glendale doesn’t have an elected mayor but whatever. The LA Times says…

“I decided I’m going to run for the mayor of Glendale,” Kardashian said, later clarifying that “it’s going to be in, like, five years.”

And between now and then maybe she can actually move from where she lives, which is Calabasas, to Glendale, about 40 minutes away.

(Kardashian) said she would choose to run for office in Glendale “because it’s, like, Armenian town.”

Actually it’s White town. It’s 64 percent white, 9 percent Armenian. But the people of Glendale are sure to be impressed that she chose their town because it would be the easiest.

It would not be the first time a celebrity ran for political office in the state of California. Voters recently elected body builder Arnold Schwarzenegger to the governorship. After movie star Ronald Reagan was voted into the same post, he moved on to become president of the United States.

The “body builder” also has a Business degree from the University of Wisconsin-Superior, and the “movie star” had a degree in Economics from Eureka College. Kim didn’t get her degree four years after high school because, at the time, there was a guy was peeing on her and filming it, and professors don’t really allow that kind of thing in class. "
