Sandra Fluke Considers A Run For Henry Waxman’s House Seat
http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/ ^ | 01/30/2014 | n/a

Sandra Fluke, the women’s rights activist who became a lightning rod in a national discussion about contraception, said she is “strongly considering” a run for Henry Waxman’s soon-to-be vacant House seat.

Waxman, 74, a longtime liberal California Democrat, described by friends and foes alike as one of the most prolific congresspersons of modern times, announced Thursday that he would retire at the end of the legislative session.

In a statement released after Waxman’s announcement, the 32-year-old Fluke said, “I’m flattered that I’m being discussed as a potential candidate, especially for Rep. Waxman’s seat, considering his incredible legacy. A number of folks I respect very deeply have reached out today and encouraged me to run. I am strongly considering running. I’ll be making my decision soon.”

In Waxman’ district lies the sample of far left people and Fluke would be a shoe in.

I had to read the "proper" poem in high school but had already been corrupted by the parody.

If the GOP (Gang of pu$$ies) was even a little bit smart they’d absolutely flood the airwaves of CA, NY, IL with antiobamacare commercials around the clock.

“You are a Fluke of the Universe...” < /National Lampoon Radio Hour >

----------------------------------------------------------

Dude! (Or Dudess as the case may be.)


      Deteriorata

    Go placidly amid the noise and waste, 
    And remember what comfort there may be in owning a piece thereof. 
    Avoid quiet and passive persons unless you are in need of sleep. 
    Rotate your tires. 
    Speak glowingly of those greater than yourself, 
    And heed well their advice, even though they be turkeys. 
    Know what to kiss and when. 
    Consider that two wrongs never make a right, 
    But that three lefts do. 
    Wherever possible put people on "HOLD". 
    Be comforted that in the face of all aridity and disillusionment, 
    And despite the changing fortunes of time, 
    There is always a big future in computer maintenance. 
    Remember the Pueblo. 
    Strive at all times to bend, fold, spindle and mutilate. 
    Know yourself. If you need help, call the FBI. 
    Exercise caution in your daily affairs, 
    Especially with those persons closest to you; 
    That lemon on your left for instance. 
    Be assured that a walk through the ocean of most souls, 
    Would scarcely get your feet wet. 
    Fall not in love therefore; it will stick to your face. 
    Carefully surrender the things of youth: birds, clean air, tuna,
    Taiwan, 
    And let not the sands of time get in your lunch. 
    Hire people with hooks. 
    For a good time, call 606-4311. 
    Take heart amid the deepening gloom that your dog 
    Is finally getting enough cheese; 
    And reflect that whatever fortunes may be your lot, 
    It could only be worse in Milwaukee. 
    You are a fluke of the Universe. 
    You have no right to be here, and whether you can hear it or not, 
    The Universe is laughing behind your back. 
    Therefore make peace with your God whatever you conceive him to be, 
    Hairy Thunderer or Cosmic Muffin. 
    With all its hopes, dreams, promises, and urban renewal, 
    The world continues to deteriorate. 
    Give up. 
She kinda is a fluke of the Universe...
