Greetings, loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader was a little relieved when he heard that outgoing Virginia Governor Mark Warner (D) was not going to challenge Senator George Allen (R) in next year’s elections. But, as a consequence of the most electable Democrat in the state “bagging out” of the race for the “open” Senate seat the Democratic party has been looking around for another viable candidate.
According to the Washington Post, the VA Democratic party is wooing….
Wait for it…
Yup. You read that correctly. Ben Affleck. You may remember the many (somewhat compelling - if you’re into that type of thing) stump speeches Ben made on behalf of Senator John Kerry in last year’s election. Ben may have been bitten by the political bug. The article says that Ben and Jennifer Garner have been looking at “country estates” in the Charlottesville area; aka: The Great Socialist Collective of Albemarle County.
Now as you know our own dear Smallholder resides in Albemarle County. But alas he doesn’t live in the tony/posh upscale part of the county. He lives with the good decent folk who still farm/work for a living. (But that doesn’t mean that he secretly doesn’t sympathize with the Kelo-loving Social Democrats who make up the rich elites of his area…)
Perhaps Ben will decide to move to Albemarle after all. But if he does, your Maximum Leader wouldn’t recommend running against Allen. Senator Allen has a propensity to want to kick his opponents soft teeth down their whiney throats.
Your Maximum Leader would recommend that Ben buy some of the Smallholder’s beef and pigs. Perhaps Ben could also subsidize a raw milk business for the Smallholder.
Carry on.
