"More Weed. Less War"


And in the running for the most inane political ad of the year is this one from the American Future Fund. It popped up on me as I was playing one of those silly (but oh so addictive) Facebook games.





Supposedly these ads are paid for by "the evil Koch Brothers". According to NPR - hardly an unbiased source - they funded these ads to siphon off votes from Sen. Kay Hagan (D-NC) in her race with Speaker Thom Tillis (R-Mecklenburg).

Given how Hagan constantly appealed to low information voters and made the US Senate race seem more like a school board election, I'd say it is just desserts.

Remember hipsters, "Get High, Get Haugh" has a better vibe than "Get High, Get Hagan".

One Of The Best Political Ads You'll See This year

I don't know Roland Sledge or whether he would make a good Texas Railroad Commissioner or not. But, damn, he has a funny campaign ad.





Despite its name and origins, the Texas Railroad Commission is now primarily concerned with regulating the oil and gas industry, drilling, and pipelines.

Move Over Dale Peterson!

Dale Peterson made quite a splash earlier this year with some of his ads for Alabama Commissioner of Agriculture featuring Dale riding off into the sunset atop his horse and carrying his Winchester 94.

Well, I think it is time for Dale to move over for Pamela Gorman of Arizona. She not only safely handles a firearm (unlike Dale) but does it in full auto.



BTW she is running in the Republican primary to replace Congressman John Shadegg who is retiring.
