Running for US Congress; District 5

My US Representative, Ginny Brown-Waite, is an embarrassment. Yes, I blog about grown-up toys, among other issues, and still feel comfortable issuing such a charge.

Ginny makes me cringe and long for someone to come along and boot her ass out of Washington. Perhaps one of these men is the answer to my prayers. (Wow. That's a sentence previously reserved for Chris Cornell or Jack Black. Well. Desperate times call for desperate measures.)

I don't know much about these two cats - yet - but I will list what I like and allow you to make up your own minds. I know. Blogger of the year.

John Russell has something in common with me, Dave Andreychuk, and Jim Kelly. He's lived in Buffalo, New York! That's right baby - a Buffalo boy. Russell used to be a nurse and seems to devote a lot of space on his site to health care. Finally, a politician who knows something about which he speaks.

Rick Penberthy has been a teacher for over twenty years and won awards for educational excellence. Score! As a result, he has great ideas about education and ways it should improve. He lives on a ranch. Well. I won't hold that against him.

I will continue to educate myself and you in the months to come. Hopefully the best man will win the primary and restore some decency to Congress. Wesley Chapel, District 5, and Washington need a breath of fresh air.
