So I have this Cousin...

So I have this cousin (through marriage) named Joel. I have met him once (a few years back) and he seemed like a nice enough guy. Right now Joel is doing something a little different. Joel is running for congress...see Joel run? Run Joel Run!



Joel is running for Congress in Chicago...as a Republican. Can anyone say Sacrificial Lamb?

Sure Joel has made some questionable decisions regarding politics in his short political career, such as attempting to out argue Barney Frank



Then he made an appearance on Sean Hannity



I could now post a series of videos of Sean Hannity making a complete jack-ass of himself, but that would be too easy. If you want to see you can find them yourself. Simply google him and I am sure you can find more than a few.

Since then Joel has had several campaign adds. One features primarly his wife and her apparent credentials as a House-Wife of DC



I just have to say I find the claim that "America has done the most to advance freedom and oppurtunity" to be laughable. Again, do I really need to list examples here? I'm sure this is something which could easily be researched on your own. Maybe I will post later about this, either way this is classic patriotic pandering at its worst.

So I hope you enjoyed an introduction to Joel and his campaign. Before I depart let me say, Joel does seem like a nice guy, and from the one time we met he seemed to be a genuinly nice and intelligent young man...despite how I may feel about his political views or his obvious pandering towards a cultural-political system which, by his own confession, is broke.

Now let me leave with one last video...I hope you enjoy it.
