Slog - Comments on Okay. Okay. I'm Voting for Barack Obama. http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/04/okay_okay_im_voting_for_barack_obama God damn, this is the best organizing stunt ever. Sign me up. In order to qualify to play 3-on-3 with Barack, all registration forms must be turned in by April 6th at your local Obama office and you must register at least 20 high school students. P.s. Calbert Cheaney, who's quoted at the end of the post, was the only good thing about the Washington Wizards in the 1990s....

So it's cool.

In related news, Obama announced he was going deer hunting in the Monongahela valley this weekend, followed by paint ball and ORVing, capped by a "Tasting tour" at the Genneessee beer plant. "Gennessee, Gennessee, ain't no beer I'd rather pee....." he crooned, to the tune of an old Grateful Dead song. "I'll try anything to better understand these Jacksonians, a/k/a 'rednecks,' here in Greater Dogpatch," he said. "They just don't got 'em back at the University of Chicago, or anywhere on the South Side. At least, anything where you don't keep score."

That's what laborers do, not the leader of the free world. Heck, if having dirt under the fingernails was a Presidential qualification, we'd be limited to voting only for migrant workers....wait 2nd generation migrant workers.

Who the hell gets dirt under their fingernails anymore? If you do, you ain't gonna be President.

i don't know, maybe if you're hunting badgers or ground hogs? but generally deer hunting involves hiding in a box for hours at a stretch.

It's not that hard, you just need a good dog.

And most of my hunting has involved lots of tromping through the woods, many times even crawling. Often for several days at a time. Not exactly clean stuff. Will has it right, though. Given my druthers, I'll take bird hunting every time.

In the caucus we already had? Were you going to vote for McCain or something?

That goes without saying, brandon.

Lots of wide-open spaces. As a consequence, long shots are the norm, rather than the exception. My rifle is zeroed at 200 yards, and a 300-yard shot is hardly unusual.
