Joe Public rounds up Tennessee’s candidates running in 2006, most of which you’ve probably never heard of. Meanwhile, Sharon Cobb asks:

To Any Tennessee Republican Who Would Happen To Know The Answer To This Question

WHEN are you going to announce a candidate for Governor of Tennessee?

Good question. I voted for Bredesen and actually like him but I’m sure there’s a better candidate somewhere. Over at NIT’s post on the subject, I said:

Interesting idea would be to ‘draft’ someone, like say a blogger. I’d vote for Krumm or Blake

TN Blog troublemaker Kleinhieder responded with:

Krumm’s already said his ultimate goal is to run for office. He’s very measured — he’d be a perfect politican (sic).

Blake, however, would need some “handlers.” You know some people around to stop him from, in the middle of a health care speech, brandishing a firearm and saying, “Yeah, yeah, Medical IRAs are a good thing. Blah. Blah. But seriously folks, check out this new Walther I just picked up. SWEET! Isn’t it a beautful (sic) thing?”

That’s not a bug, it’s a feature. But maybe we Tennessee bloggers (of which there are apparently millions) should push a candidate of our choosing? I’ll nominate Bob Krumm.

Don’t nominate me, I’m doomed since I blog about porn. Speaking of porn, Aunt B. on the subject:

Let’s talk bluntly. In most porn, the ideal girl is in her early twenties and beautiful and willing to fuck any man that comes along. Now, I don’t blame you for the “beautiful” and “willing to fuck any man that comes along;” it’s the “early twenties” part that just baffles me.

Back on the other subject before mentioning porn, this blog has doomed any chance I ever had of running for office (not that I planned on it – I’m not corrupt enough and can’t take the pay cut). The reasons are that I’ve blogged about porn, I like guns, I cuss a lot, I’ve been kind of a dick to some people, and a few other things. So, if I ran for office, somebody who knows me would out me and I’d bet it’d be this guy (no, I kid. He wouldn’t but someone would). But, regardless, I have a record and, to be honest, I probably scare the shit out of your average soccer mom (see, I warned you about the cussing). And in the next paragraph, I’ll advocate breaking the law.

And then I’d also have to disclose whatever due to the unconstitutional campaign finance reform (that, by the way, any good citizen should just ignore – see, told you about that breaking the law thing) and the fact that the Online Freedom of Speech Act was shot down. By the way, (from Blake) these local idiots voted against:

-Harold Ford, Jr. – 9th District
-Zach Wamp – 3rd District
-Jim Cooper – 5th District
-Bart Gordon – 6th District
-John Tanner – 8th District

Shame on you all.

And these folks voted for it:

-Marsha Blackburn – 7th District
-Lincoln Davis – 4th District
-John Duncan, Jr. – 2nd District
-William Jenkins – 1st District

Good for them.

Now, back to other subject from which I’ve been distracted twice. Bob Krumm is early enough in his blogging career to not make those mistakes. And he’s a reasonable, level-headed guy. So, Krumm for Governor!

And no, I’m not sure exactly when this became one of those stream of consciousness posts but deal with it. I think it’s the new coffee. And, while we’re on the subject o . . . ooh look, a monkey.
