(Community Matters) not to endorse anyone or any race but this just might be the funniest political commercial I’ve ever seen. Of course, he’s referencing former Gov Rod R. Blagojevich of Illinois so not sure what’s up there

It's about community, entrepreneurs, politics, art . . and sometimes just silly fun . . . a slightly gay blog.Eugene Sepulveda
Love big West Texas skies, the unimpeded horizons of the coasts, Austin and my husband, the Rev. Dr. Steven Robert Tomlinson, with whom I’ve spent the last 24 years – nineteen years since we were married on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia, Canada. Then, married again at St. James Episcopal Church in Austin, TX on June 27, 2015.

Community Matters 
I could not help but open an email with the subject “Peeing on Electric Fences”, and was very intrigued when I heard Will Roger’s name mentioned. I still don’t know anything about the Railroad Commission or Roland Sledge, but when I played the YouTube video about why Sledge chose Will Roger’s quote, I felt like Will’s words were only used as an opportunity to produce something sensational to go “viral”. Sledge’s “young and creative” staff found the quote in a Google search. And then I really felt manipulated when Sledge said the “Blagojevich” look alike, was just something that happened… “not planned”. Eugene, I too don’t have a clue why Blagojevich was referenced (except that it’s a name most people associate with corrupt politicians). But having been born and raised in Ft. Worth, TX, Will Rogers is a legend. I wonder what Will would think of the video? Sledge interview: http://www.youtube.com/embed/wCpBibIt10o
Is he running against the politicians in Austin, or against the ones in Washington and Springfield?
