Howdy, Bubba! Hey, if you're new around these parts, I just want to say how much I appreciate you dropping by! Oh, and you may want to subscribe to my feed. Thanks, and a tip o' the hat to ya!

OK, folks; this may come as a shock to you (bolt of lightning, crash of thunder), but there have been some exciting recent developments I just had to share with ya…
Yep; in a dramatic flip-flop from my post the other day (you know, the one where I said I usually avoided politics?), I’ve decided to throw my hat into the ring.
But don’t worry, y’all! I’m not really running for the Presidency of the United States. Hey, I’ll freely admit that’s a job much too big for little ol’ me.
Naaaw - I’m just runnin’ for President of Texas. I’ll let someone else worry ’bout the rest of the U.S. Now I just have to come up with a campaign slogan…
Hey! How about my favorite line:
A big ol’ tip o’ the hat to ya!

Middle Zone Musings is a comfortable place to stop, have a cup of coffee, swap a few stories and share practical ideas for the real world. I don't ask for much, just a bit of your brain every now and then. Have a seat, take a load off, and relax...
Fine slogan you have there, but I thought Make Muzak with Hruzek was a keeper.
Brad Shorrs last blog post..On Being a Copyunwriter
Yeah, I have to admit, Brad, that one flows trippingly off the tongue, doesn’t it? Well, I’ll add it to the list. Joanna challenged me to come up with 33 campaign slogans, and I’ve been racking my brain (sound of brain, being racked) trying to come up with something…
Great slogan. You would get my vote if I was eligible (which I’m not in so many ways
).
Thanks, Steven, I appreciate the vote of confidence. Hey, a dramatic lack of qualifications never stopped anybody else, you know?
I’ll vote for you! (Hilarious.)
Mark Goodyears last blog post..The Horror, The Horror
Well President Hruzek, ya got my vote! I like Brad’s slogan too, I think he’d be a great choice for Campaign manager.
Can I ask a dumb question: what does the president of Texas do? did I miss a change of the constituency? Apart from that I’ll support you whatever you’re campaigning for, and president is alright for me!

@Mark - Thanks, Bud! I knew I could count on ya!
@Karen - Yeah, I’m thinking of offering him the position of Chief of Staff, too. Good political connections, you know (from living in Chicago).
@Ulla - Good question, and one that deserves a thoughtful, in-depth answer: I have no idea.
But it sounds like a great job, doesn’t it? Thanks for your support, Ulla!
I can’t wait to see where this campaign takes you!
Joanna Youngs last blog post..Why I’ve Lost Confidence in TypePad
if I could vote, I’d vote for ya!!
@Joanna - Yeah, me too. Mrs. MZM just shook her beautiful head when I showed it to her.
@Karen - Hey, I appreciate the vote of confidence!
Bob,
That might be what it would take to get me to move back to Texas.
If I help your campaign could I get a cabinet post?

Sams last blog post..Darryl writes - and he’s a father!
Makes more sense than most candidates.
@Sam - Sure! How about the Dept. of Barbed Wire?
@Chip - Why thank you, Buddy! I’ll put a little something extra in your envelope this week!
Bob,
I’d have to turn you down on that one.
I’m a free-range type of guy myself.
“Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies above,
Don’t fence me in.
Let me ride through the wide open country that I love,
Don’t fence me in.
Let me be by myself in the evenin’ breeze,
And listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees,
Send me off forever but I ask you please,
Don’t fence me in.
Just turn me loose, let me straddle my old saddle
Underneath the western skies.
On my Cayuse, let me wander over yonder
Till I see the mountains rise.”
-Sam

Hate to be a pest but I must attribute the above as “Don’t Fence Me In” with words and music by Cole Porter© & Robert Fletcher

I would definitely vote for you … if I was American, and if I lived in Texas.
John Koetsiers last blog post..YAOU (Yet another Office update)
@Sam - Gee, Sam, wouldn’t it kinda depend on which side of the fence yer on? Oh, well; I’m sure I can find something for ya!
@John - Hey, long time no see, my friend! Your sentiments are truly appreciated, but I hafta ask: Why aren’t you already headed down here?

Bob,
I hate to break it to you like this, but since Texas originally split from Mexico, I think you’d be declared Emperor.
And it’s a little-known fact that Texas has the right to secede and break up into up to five different entities. We always thought it would be fun to make Ft. Worth the capital just to enrage all those snobs in Dallas!

Mikes last blog post..What’s Going On In There?
Emperor sounds nice, Mike… OK, Emperor it is! Actually, you can call me anything you like; just keep those tributes comin’ in, folks!
That news about five different entities sounds good, too, although just two is enough - never understood folks from Dallas anyway.
