Debra Medina Just Down the Road
This has been an odd political season. The only Republican yard signs in the whole county are those for the three folks running for DA. (A race we’ll have some dandy fun with later, Juanita promises. Richard Raymond now has pushcards you need to see.)
We have not seen even one sign in the Republican Governor’s race, a battle royale between Kay Bailey Hutchison (Read: Dick Cheney) and Rick Perry (read: Sarah Palin).
“Now, this ain’t my first rodeo,” Juanita assures us, “so I understand the main purpose of yardsigns is name ID. But, generally, it also shows support among the natives, so plenty of them are planted around here come election time. However, if you were to drive around Republican neighborhoods in Fort Bend County you wouldn’t even know there’s an election going on in the Governor’s race.”
But, it happened today. Debra Media, a semi-Libertarian, is going to ensure there’s a run-off in the Republican Governor’s race and she’s putting up signs to bet on it.
Medina has some signs up by Frank’s Nursery on 359 — Hi Frank!
Her campaign slogan appears to be “We Texans.” Even Juanita doesn’t know what that means. “Maybe it’s something like, ‘Me, Kemosabe,’ or ‘Me, Tarzan. You, Debra,’ or something,” she ventures. Of course, it means there has to be something somewhere that classifies as “Those Texans.”
Thelma thinks she’s hinting at secession. Could be.
Reportedly, she no longer thinks the nation needs a “bloody war of succession.” For that you’ll have to go with Chuck Norris or Pat Boone.
1I hope we are not judged by our yard signs. Frank does not necessarily endorse Ms. Medina. Obviously, she sneaked up on Frank’s and placed her sign in front of the giant concrete bird bath section where no one could see her.
2That Medina girl is dirt dumb and stump stupid. Hell, even Kinky had the good sense to not split the party, again.
3I’m pretty sure “We Texans” is a rip-off derivative from something else. Maybe it’s the “We Be Toys” notion or possibly the Snake Collich responsive reading where the preacher says “We ARE!” and the congregation responds “Penn Snake!”.
4If she or her followers had a brain, I’d say it was something from Shakespeare’s Henry V, where the king gives a speech before the battle, “We few, we happy few, we band of brothers.”
Unfortunately the next line is, ” For he to-day that sheds his blood with me ”
But that’s saying, if she had a brain…and after all Shakespeare was just a foreigner with a suspicious agenda to these people.
5How bout a cheap rip off of “We the People” y’all?
6When did she decide that secession was off the table, anyway? I thought that was the cornerstone of her campaign, so to speak. I kinda like the Penn Snake idea though, being a very longtime fan of JoePa! A coach that wants the LIBRARY named after him is my kind a guy!
