All right, Boots. Start Walkin'!!!



Hallelujah!! Reverend Gonna Change here to tell you a little bit about the po-litical sutation here in America. Believe it!

Everything you need to know about the 2006 Virginia Senate race in one picture:


On the left, former Governor George Allen, son of a famous football coach, a career politician raised in Southern California; 2008 GOP presidential contender; alleged neo-Confederate whose siblings claim he meted out such acts of "tough love" as dragging them up and down stairs by their hair. Allen caused quite a stir last month when he called out a staffer for his opponent who was videotaping one of his campaign events in front of an all-white crowd; he called the young Indian-American "Macaca" and offered a tongue-in-cheek "Welcome to America!". (The staffer, S.R. Siddarth, has been an American citizen since birth.) Say what??? Seen here sporting a lovely pair of $2,000 cowboy boots, despite the fact that cowboys have never been a part of Virginia culture. Sucka!

On the right, we got former Navy Secretary Jim Webb, military man who served in that capacity under Reagan; decorated Vietnam War veteran from a long line of soldiers. Georgetown Law alum who represented veterans pro bono, proud Redstick, author and screenwriter ("Rules of Engagement"). Staunch opponent of the Iraq War and massive underdog who has closed the gap to a handful of percentage points. Seen here wearing his son's old combat boots - said offspring just got a fresh pair, because he's off to active duty, carrying on a long family tradition. The real deal!!

Things are gonna change!
