Okay, here’s scientific evidence that crazy is contagious.

Texas and Iowa are not that far apart.  At best, crazy would have to travel two states where hitchhiking is not only legal but a major component of the transportation system.

And travel it did.

The Republican candidate for a state Senate seat in eastern Iowa has ended her campaign and instead declared herself a U.S. Senator for the state of Iowa.

In a letter dated July 4, the candidate, Randi Shannon of Coralville, argued that the legitimate federal government of the United States was replaced by illegitimate “corporate” government in 1871 and has been operating since then in violation of the U.S. Constitution.

She learned this fact just recently, she said, and has come to believe it after months of research.

Bless her heart, she even wrote a letter proclaiming her research, which was mostly written by the glow of neon beer signs over at the shooting range.  It’s plenty entertaining to read, what with her using words like plethora and egregious.

She’s even got a You Tube but be warned that the first 45 seconds will make your ears bleed, but the costume changes are fabulous!  Just totally fabulous!  I mean, going from clerical scarf to bandana in 10 seconds was genius, pure genius, and exactly what this country needs in a United States Senator.

Thanks to Allan for the heads-up.
