Let me say first off that this isn’t directed at anyone in particular; I was born blue and I’ll die blue. If I were still a Virginia resident, I would gladly stand in line to vote for Terry McAuliffe, because — well, you know.

A couple days ago I got an e-mail from the Democratic Party of Virginia, encouraging me to kick in $10 to send the troops in the trenches pizza.

I want to also say I have the utmost respect for the folks getting out the vote . They work long hours for little or no pay, and I could see pizza night while the returns come in being a lot of fun.

I understand it’s selfish to feel this way, but believe me — when circumstances once again allow for it, I’ll contribute to various Democratic candidates and campaigns as I am able.

But Terry McAuliffe is worth millions, while I am worth…several dollars less than that.

Let him buy the fucking pizza.

I have a long standing policy about not gifting my money to millionaires. It’s really absurd when you think about it. With all the bitching about rich people using their privilege, taking advantage of us and running the coutry but we think nothing of giving them our money to do it. Many, if not most, partisans would consider it an obligation.
