Now that I have remembered that I actually get to vote, I get to start making my “I will not vote for this person because they should be shoveling shit on the side of the highway” list. I don’t know why I envision shit on the sides of highways, but it’s the first thing that came to mind and I’m going with it. And where else to keep that list than right here for your amusement.
First on the list is Janet Oleszek, who is running for a state (VA) Senate seat in the 37th District, which apparently includes Fairfax County, which further means that not only can I find her commercials to be horrible, but I can actually vote against her.
Why is she on the list? Because the commercial I just saw quotes her opponent as being against research using embryonic stem cells, then rephrases it leaving out the word “embryonic” and moving on tell us that stem cell research will cure everything from diabetes to acne to stinky feet to global warming. Of course I’m paraphrasing to mislead, but so does her commercial.
Sorry Janet, you suck. There’s a shovel outside my house waiting to be picked up.
And no I’m not kidding about the shovel.

Are you against embryonic stem cell research or misleading commercials or both?
I’m against governmental funding of embryonic stem cell research as well as misleading commercials.
