Count me in for the Block party!

But I can already see the attack ads: "Concrete Block stands at the foundation of our oppressive capitalist system. Concrete Block has been complicit in upholding multiple hegemonic structures."

But if Concrete Block can make like a good politician and be all things to all people—a Block for building, a Block for destroying—then this Block is a lock.

I feel like a giddy teenage schoolgirl. OMG! BFF!. This is awesome! Bloody brilliant! !!!!!! We need to make this viral.

I really wanted Mike Rowe, but I think Concrete Block will better represent the entire country.

I'm in.

I'm sorry, but Sen Fetterman has already filled this space.

Are you now publicly endorsing him for President?

And in related campaign news, Biden vows "to finish the job on the economy."

(I hear 2x4 is top choice for VP.)

In an exclusive here, I can now report conclusively that Block—previously known as "Brick"—was foundational to that unregenerate political movement called Babel (aka Babylon) and responsible therefore for some of the worst manifestations of "civilization" in the history of the world.

"They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. Then they said, 'Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth.'”

It is very frustrating to see who we have as the leading candidates for each of the parties. How can this be the best we can do?

The weak cinder block is close kin. Just 'cause you talk the talk, doesn't mean you ain't cracked. Too many variables in manufacturing. Everybody must get stoned. Ninety percent of Americans think medical marijuana should be legal. You can capture the yoot vote if you will only nominate a corner-store. Which is the name of Ben Carson's think tank.
