Virginia GOP Candidate Is a Big Bucket of Crazy

Just in time for Halloween, Politico shared this story from the National Review of Lieutenant Governor candidate, E.W. Jackson weaving tales about the devil and...yoga?

“When one hears the word meditation, it conjures an image of Maharishi Yoga talking about finding a mantra and striving for nirvana. … The purpose of such meditation is to empty oneself. … [Satan] is happy to invade the empty vacuum of your soul and possess it. That is why people serve Satan without ever knowing it or deciding to, but no one can be a child of God without making a decision to surrender to him. Beware of systems of spirituality which tell you to empty yourself. You will end up filled with something you probably do not want.”

Oh good. That's just the kind of clearheadedness and religious tolerance I look for in my leaders. The election is this Tuesday.

Namaste.

Oh Your God, you guys.

None of my candidates ever claimed they were endorsed by Jesus. This is a real screen shot of this woman's website. I wish I had caught this yesterday before she came in last place. I wonder how she justifies that.

Campaign Quickie

J: So, some old dude on the phone threatened to kill me because I called him... he's my candidates neighbor... and when he found out I was from the campaign he hung up.

Me: Oooh tell me more!

J: Then called back and left a message saying "if you're a solicitor take me off your list."

Me: Ahaha. Does he know he is the dude's neighbor?

J: Yes, we gave him a yard sign on Saturday. He seemed fine.

Oh...les joies de campaign.
