Our
buddy Walkingdead has house problems in
Michigan, the nature of which I do not know and are none of my business until
he says otherwise.
However, A) they’re preventing him from moving to Texas, which is a crying shame, and B) outside of immediate-family-relationship issues, there are few problems in this world which can’t be solved – or at least greatly assisted – by a raw influx of money.
We
Conservatives talk a good game about helping others, without any need of governmental
assistance. Heck – we don’t just talk a good game, we live up to it too! So here’s what I’m proposing, and I’ll kick
in the first $100 if we actually get this off the ground:
Kickstart,
as in it would be a kickstarter project.
It’s
a Documentary.
It’s a Reality TV
Series.
It’s an album of original music.
It’s a coffee table book (in HD PDF form).
It’s
a resounding affirmation of the Mystical Mobile Male!
It’s
a solemn entreaty to the pyrogedhel*
to stay the heck away! (unless or until needed, of course)
It’s
about Freedom, it’s about a Fresh Start, it’s about Deliverance (but will not
star Ned Beatty or Burt Reynolds).
It's a Refutation of the lies told about Texas!
It's a Rebuttal to those environmentalist infiltrators who apparently think the Cub Scouts from Marfa are too stupid to put their sweatshirts on correctly. Nice graphic work and way to insult the kids, morons!
It’s about getting Walkingdead the heck
out of Mordor Michigan, and down to Texas where all right-thinking
individuals are more than welcome.
It's a travelogue extravaganza! I mean seriously, have you SEEN what lies between there and here?
It's about going to where the JOBS are!
Sure, North Dakota and Utah have had a better job growth rate recently, and good for them! But have you checked out their climate?
Here's what we'll do:
We'll
pick a funding level (by which I mean HE picks a funding level) based upon a
realistic budget and timeframe, and which satisfies whatever his current financial
needs are that are keeping him in bondage.
We'll
make full use of Social Media, Conservative-style.
We'll proudly ask IMAO for help drumming up
support, as well as the Instapundit and everyone else on the associated blogrolls. We
hit Twitter often, and ask our followers to retweet the message “help set
Walkingdead free!” (We may have to rebrand a bit to avoid a nasty
copyright suit).
We'll keep the cameras running.
All
who support Walkingdead will triumph in his victory and bask in the reflected
limelight.
The kickstarter support level rewards
could be items like “overcome mementos” symbolic of his former indenture (and here I’m
thinking autographed bricks** at the basic entry level).
Oh,
and I’ve got a box full of not-brand-new-but-nevertheless-digital cameras I’d be happy
to donate. They’re actually in the way right now - you’d be doing me a favor.
So what say you?
Shall we do this? Please share with us your thoughts in the comments!
Oh, and one last thing to consider:
Oh, and one last thing to consider:
*The
elusive “arson fairies” (their real name is currently unGoogleable - that's power!)
**Obviously I’m assuming a building material here that might not be relevant
**Obviously I’m assuming a building material here that might not be relevant
we all have to do our part to make sure Texas doesn't become a purple state.
ReplyDeletealso, I love the toast named after this illustrious state.
I'm looking forward to getting some feedback, and if it looks doable, we'll kickoff the kickstarter project pronto!
ReplyDeleteSounds like an absolute blast! Best of luck to you all!
ReplyDeleteGet it moving already...i want to donate, but nothings in place :)
ReplyDeleteYou ought to do an NP project to move ALL the co-bloggers to Texas. I certainly wouldn't mind! Not sure what I'm doing in Ohio at this point anyway...
ReplyDeleteHEAR HEAR! I was trying to figure out how to ask if I could get in on the deal. I'll bake cookies for all the bake sales. (We'll need bake sales, won't we?)
DeleteWe haven't nailed the budget yet, so why not? I think that's certainly possible, if unlikely (just given the nature of human, uh, nature).
ReplyDeleteAll NP staff would be welcome, of course. Who could possibly gainsay us?
Sidebar: Once you get here, I'll happily and freely teach Aquaponics to any of you who might care to learn, but that's completely another topic and I hope well outside the scope of "GTT Kickstart!".
