Pre-disqualifying myself for elective office

So I've seen a few of the "nutty" Christine O'Donnell videos from over ten years ago floating around the internet. I'm not sure how she got airtime (is she from a political family? How did one get airtime way back in ye olden tymes of the 90s? I really don't care, actually).

But I've done the oppo folks a favor should I ever be such an idiot as to run for elective office (outside very small groups. I love ya, SOA Tech Section Council!) I've got an old-timey personal website! With the stupid stuff I wrote in college and even in elementary school!

Here's a piece on people too stupid to live (iirc, the guy in that one was genuinely mentally retarded... but his "friends" were not, but criminally stupid); me pondering on the aesthetic failings of human penises; a poem I wrote about death when I was 11; a post on smut, where the worst thing is I kept misspelling "pornography" (my good judgment shown by using Tom Lehrer as my text); and I know what spawned this veal-related post... a friend who was celebrating her nth year of vegetarianism at a restaurant, and all our other friends ordered veggie meals (though omnivores)... and I ordered London Broil.

Thing is, I don't trust "normal" people. I think most people are freaks have idiosyncrasies, and when a politician comes across as too vanilla, I wonder what freaky crap is going on that's hidden.

Also, I don't trust any politician. What kind of bizarre person wants to work for the public? They've got to have something wrong with their brain.
