The circle of life

In 1999, I swore I'd never post here again.

I was mistaken. Many times more than once.

Since then, here's what's happened to me. It's the abbreviated
version.

* I got divorced.
* I sold out on the American dream of a home in the 'burbs and three
cars in a two-car garage.
* I survived attacks on my career launched both by RSA malcontents
and the President of the USA.
* I noticed that the President has nicer neckties than RSA
malcontents and does not sell ski jackets with dog**** on them.
* Most days of the week, my necktie is nicer than the President's,
and nicer than the neckties of all the Presidential candidates.
* I had the tremendous opportunity to work dream consulting jobs on
both coasts, and to see world-class glimpses of America at both 75 MPH
and at the speed of faith and love.
* I skiied in three western states in less than 24 hours, and four
non-contiguous western states in three days on that same trip -- and I
drove to every ski hill.
* I share a common characteristic with Hulk Hogan, William Shatner,
Elizabeth Taylor, Floyd Landis, and Liza Minnelli --- I now have an
artificial hip.
* My children's greatest point of contention is over who gets to win
the Science Fair.
* My children's educators graciously ask me for 10 time more kids
that smart, and I graciously decline their requests.
* My brother is the only declared opponent against an incumbent
Republican Congressman in Texas.
* If I were having a barbecue in my back yard this weekend, the
invited guest list would include two former Presidential candidates,
six current US Congressional candidates, two seated Congressmen, one
current candidate for Texas governor, four current candidates for US
Senate, and at least a dozen candidates for other state offices. Only
one of those people does not know me on sight -- but by November, he
sure the hell will. And if he came to the barbecue, he'd ask for my
sauce recipe.
* My two-month rolling average consumer indebtedness is ZERO dollars.
* I am in the middle of my second bid for US Congress.
* I help moderate a usenet newsgroup in the rec. hierarchy (not too
far from this place).
* I still have never lived in a basement.
* I can truthfully say that I am happy nowadays, even though I never
thought I would begin to live and love life as a politician.


so how are things for you?

Drop me a line at strohmforcongress@gmail,com, eh? Especially if we
used to gab a lot on here in the past. You know who you are.

Holy ****, I thought this nutcase was crazy back then, but he's even
more delusional now. Attacks on his career by rsa malcotents and the
Prez?
BWHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
The wack job is a Libertarian. Got less than one percent of the vote
when he ran last time. A career? BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
One thing for su he's a pathological liar, a stalker, and an all
around asshole. Though I can understand why he thinks telling the
truth about his lies is an attack: he shares that view with his buddy
the Prez....who doesn't even know he exists.
What really amazes me is that this dumb**** is running for office and
stupid enough to post here.
Ah, well, doesn't matter. He couldn't be elected dogcatcher, and
couldn't catch Bev if he was.
Holy ****. Holy ****. Holy ****. You gotta be kidding me.

Can't do it without lying, though. Discuss his blatant, pathetic,
manipulative lies.
I never cease to be amazed when a ****head dickless asshole freak like
you ignores blatant defamation to condemn profanity: in your ****ed up
****head world, profanity is considered to be wrong, but smearing
people is not.
Go **** yourself, asshole.

Scott, you never cease to amaze me. Fortunately, I'm only amazed by
you for small moments of my time, and your existence never enters my
mind when I'm doing important stuff, like being interviewed on live TV
for an hour like I was tonight.

It's true -- I am a Libertarian, and as such my political doctrine
requires me to support your right to self-expression -- and its
concomitant responsibility of living with the results. Talk all you
want. By the time it comes back to Texas, my spin doctors will give
your words the correct Texas accent and my voters will hear the right
message.

Meantime, Scott, you're selling used ski-wear on ebay and I'm running
for US Congress.

Do you understand the difference between those two jobs, and the
relative prestige involved? Not that I care very much whether you
understand, but it's a question that you probably should ask yourself.

I will grant you this -- selling used ski-wear on ebay DOES pay better
than running for US Congress.

But I'm doing something that I truly believe will help improve our
nation, and I'm staking my life on it. You should probably be paying
attention, because as a Libertarian I stand for reduced taxes and
reduced government involvement, especially in commerce. When I'm
elected -- as incredible as this seems to me today -- among my first
duties on the floor of Congress will be to simplify the regulatory
burden on internet vendors like you.

If I win in November, it's my sworn job to make your life better. Do
you get that? I get it. I also know that I'll be pulling 16-hour
days most of the time Congress is in session, and 20-hour days back
here in Texas when Congress is out of session. Tonight on live TV I
promised to reply to everybody who's contacted me about veteran's
issues. I plan to spend most of my day tomorrow fulfilling that
promise.

Scott, what are YOU doing for America tomorrow?

Dang me, that sounds like a good campaign slogan -- "What are you
doing for America tomorrow?"

For my part, tomorrow I'm going to reach out to everybody who's
reached out to me so far. My website is strohmforcongress.net and my
best email address is . If you have
legitimate concerns -- you, and everybody reading this -- please do
not hesitate to contact me.

Aw hell, even if you just want to talk to somebody who still thinks he
can go to Washington and make a difference, ping me. There's a phone
number on my website and the candidate will answer.

If you're an RSA-er from the last century, I especially invite you to
call.

And Scott, that includes you too. I don't know what (if anything)
we'll agree on, but I value your ideas and your input. I really don't
think you'll call me, but I want you to know that you can if you want
to.


James Arthur Strohm
Libertarian Candidate for US Congress
District 21 Texas

PS -- Scott, in my 2006 Congressional contest, I finished 5th of 7
candidates in the second most crowded Congressional race in the
nation, with 2% of the vote (4400, depending on which Diebold
electronic number you use). How'd you do in YOUR election?

Strohm, your insanity never ceases to amaze me. You lie about me, I
tell the truth about you. I do not need to lie about you. You need
to lie about me. Think about it, dip****.
I get interviewed all the time. Just about to go out and do an
interview. So ****ing what. You're still a lying piece of ****.

It's true -- I am a Libertarian, and as such my political doctrine
requires me to support your right to self-expression -- and its
concomitant responsibility of living with the results.

Then stop lying and be responsible for your lies, and rat out your
buddies who lied to the cops and a judge, you pathetic fraud.

Talk all you
want. By the time it comes back to Texas, my spin doctors will give
your words the correct Texas accent and my voters will hear the right
message.

Your voters will think you are an insane dumb**** dip****, as I do.
No surprise you need spin doctors, freak: otherwise known as
professional liars.


Meantime, Scott, you're selling used ski-wear on ebay and I'm running
for US Congress.

Meantime, dumb****, I'm skiing in Sun Valley and you are jerking
yourself off and pretending to be somebody, when everybody is laughing
at you.

Do you understand the difference between those two jobs, and the
relative prestige involved?

Uh, duh. Sure. I have a job (several, in fact), and you will never
be elected to any position whatsoever. No prestige in being a public
fool, fool. You really are insane. Deranged. Delusional. YOU ARE
NOT AND NEVER WILL BE A CONGRESSMAN. Plus the reality that most of us
think congressmen are the scum of the earth....

Not that I care very much whether you
understand, but it's a question that you probably should ask yourself.

You really are insane.

I will grant you this -- selling used ski-wear on ebay DOES pay better
than running for US Congress.

I will grant you this. You are insane.

You will never be elected. You are insane.

If I win in November, it's my sworn job to make your life better. Do
you get that? I get it. I also know that I'll be pulling 16-hour

issues. I plan to spend most of my day tomorrow fulfilling that

You will be jerking off in your basement while everybody laughs at
you. You truly are insane.

Scott, what are YOU doing for America tomorrow?

A hell of a lot more than you ever will do, you insane nutcase.

Dang me, that sounds like a good campaign slogan -- "What are you
doing for America tomorrow?"

Here's a good one for you: Vote for Jim Strohm, insane nutcase

For my part, tomorrow I'm going to reach out to everybody who's
reached out to me so far. My website is strohmforcongress.net and my
best email address is . If you have
legitimate concerns -- you, and everybody reading this -- please do
not hesitate to contact me.

Aw hell, even if you just want to talk to somebody who still thinks he
can go to Washington and make a difference, ping me. There's a phone
number on my website and the candidate will answer.

Because the candidate has no staff. Because he is an insane nutcase.

If you're an RSA-er from the last century, I especially invite you to
call.

If you are a criminal, a stalker, a pathological liar, a drug user or
drunk, Jim Strohm wants your support.

And Scott, that includes you too. I don't know what (if anything)
we'll agree on, but I value your ideas and your input. I really don't
think you'll call me, but I want you to know that you can if you want
to.

Jim, Jim. I am not insane. Nor am I a thief, a criminal, a
pathological liar, a manipulative psychopath, or a fool. Ergo, I do
not have the qualifications for the job. You do.
Holy ****, I never cease to be amazed. You really have gone
completely around the bend.
