Last night I ran into Juan Garcia, the Democrat running against septugenarian Rep. Gene Semen. It’s so funny that I just happen to be in the same places as politicos! I mean, what are the odds? I mean, who knew that stalking candidates would actually pay off?

Garcia looks about as Hispanic as I do. I’m pretty sure his actual name is John Smith but, hey, he is running in Corpus. Garcia is a practicing attorney and formal naval aviator who served in the Persian Gulf. He graduated from UCLA with a poly sci degree but he told me that he started out in the journalism school. I told him that I have a master’s in journalism. ANOTHER COINCIDENCE. He said, and now you’re blogging? Your family must be proud.

Come on. Like they know. They think I’m an anchor at KXAN.

I hear Semen has gotten himself into a sticky situation but I have to verify my sources before I write about it. And by ‘verify sources,’ I mean, ‘make up a story.’ Gene Semen has attempted to smear Garcia’s military record by spitting out baseless accusations and expecting voters to swallow them.

Whatever. The man’s 76. At this point, I’m pretty sure he’s shooting blanks.

Shooting blanks? I mean jizz Louise, I’m certain he can’t even get his artillery pointed in the right direction.

As if he didn’t hear those tasteless jokes, in like, JR HIGH!

So, if he had Hodgkin’s would it be semantics?

I always loved it when ol’ Gene couldn’t be located for a vote, so the call went out from the Speaker’s desk. “Semen. Semen on the floor.”

/It’s the House. Of course there is.

I’m confused. Why is Juan wearing a suit? Where’s his hat? Where’s his burro? Is that a coffee bush behind him?

I know. I can’t believe people can’t see how impotent this post is.

I had thought of something great to say, but I couldn’t get it up in time and it slipped my mind.

Perhaps, to quote Bill Hicks, they need to “Squeegee their third eye”

He may be shooting blanks but I hear he is making quite a spash.

And he is a good swimmer.
