Run him against Marco Rubio. We’ll all vote for him.
To: Gefn
He’s the spitting image of a cat we used to have who liked
to hop up on the toilet tank and repeatedly push the handle to amuse himself. We named him Flush.
To: Gefn
I’d vote for him in a heart beat. Yeah, but he is a democat.

In 2005, my alma mater, NC State Univ., elected The Pirate Captain as president of the student body. It really irked the political jackasses who thought it was some kind of stepping stone.

Election? I thought this was another Calvinism vs Arminianism thread. I have always thought that cats were Calvinist and dogs were more Arminialist but this is in Mexico.

Hey Kitty! Don’t accept any invitations to dinner. This is Mexico. You could end up as part of the main course.
