Jul 24, 2008 - Glad you're enjoying them.Sued? On what grounds?
ACESpark Says:
Jul 24, 2008 - The fact I posted that early in the morning was probably why I used completely the wrong wording. XD Hadn't woke up.I was probably thinking along the lines of "how can he get away with saying this."... and would've probably meant to say something about not being able to get away with saying that over here.Then I am reminded that we have the BNP party... so what-ever point I was going to make would've been completely invalid. XDEither way, this guy's a jackass.
Thisistrue Says:
Jul 24, 2008 - Yeah, he's definitely a real piece of work. But no need to clog up the courts. He can say what he wants -- and then we can vote him out of office.Of course, it looks like he's heading for prison soon either way....

Jul 25, 2008 - All these videos have one major fault, you look like you looking down on us as you speak.Try raising the height of the camera. I don't particularly like being looked down on :-)
Thisistrue Says:
Jul 25, 2008 - The camera is already significantly above me.
Korporaal1 Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - Then maybe the text you're reading out is below the lens of the camera? Like all your video's, though, it's a beaut!

Jul 26, 2008 - *sigh*. Common hazard for us "freakishly tall" folk.
Thisistrue Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - I'm not THAT tall -- "just" 6'3" (190cm for the non-Americans out there). But that shouldn't really matter: we do always ensure that the camera is above my eye level.

Jul 26, 2008 - Is there one of these guys in every state? Ours is Rep. Chris Buttars (West Jordan, Ut), he has a copy of the Gay Handbook!

Jul 26, 2008 - Randy, this is great! Heck, I wish you could clone yourself (at least during election years) to have all the Little Randys (Randies? Randees?) trot around the country catching up with all these idiots!If you're not already a member of some correspondents club, you ought to be.Kurt FrancisBangkok, Thailand
Thisistrue Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - There's a Gay Handbook? So THAT's where they get their "homosexual agenda". I'll bet they have a secret handshake, too.
Thisistrue Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - I appreciate your kind words, Kurt, but I dunno: I'm not sure the world could handle another Randy Cassingham....
Wizard0Productions Says:
Jul 27, 2008 - Sounds fair to me--this generation has been getting their government "information" for comic books their entire lives--starting with the DARE misleading series in the '80's which strongly implied that marijuana, was the same as PCP. And now extending to all information.How else to you communicate to a society which graduates from High School illiterate, and from college semi-literate?As a matter of fact, it the voters elected this joker, they deserve what they got--however slimy.
WyandotteWoman Says:
Jul 28, 2008 - Unfortunately, Brent Rinehart is from Oklahoma. I believe your story source is our newspaper, The Oklahoman. He is a crook and I hope he is not re-elected. I live in OKC, but not Oklahoma County, so I can't vote against him. He is an embarrassment to our great state.

Jul 29, 2008 - On the other hand, issues of This is True and the True Stella Awards would always be on time!
Thisistrue Says:
Jul 30, 2008 - He was handily defeated in the primary this week with 21% of the votes. That still means 1,900 people voted for him....
jjdjr21 Says:
Aug 5, 2008 - Actually Randy, the one criticism I would have for your video series is that the camera shot consistently has too much "head room" (no homo puns please). You should have your camera operator zoom in and tilt down a bit for a more professional look.
ACESpark Says:
Jul 24, 2008 - What an awkward way to try and get people to vote for you. :/This guy sounds like an arsehole, I honestly can't believe they can get away with printing stuff like that in the US and NOT get sued.I love these videos and your emails, even if they do make me question humanity at large.
