Vote Roderick

Slusher Roderick for Seattle

I’m a fan of John Roderick, his music and his podcast. I treated myself to a campaign t-shirt for his city council run. Tragically, our oppressive government doesn’t allow South Carolina residents to vote for Seattle city council. Thanks, Obama.

If you live in the Seattle city limits and have not already cast your ballot, please consider voting for John Roderick. Read up on his views at VoteRoderick.com and see if you see something you like. This is important stuff, getting someone in government who cares deeply about the commons and deeply about that art is not the last line item in priority, the first thing to be cut.

Vote Roderick!

From Roderick on the Line episode titled “Goofus MacGroofus”:

John Roderick: “I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. Gene Simmons is Donald Trump in dragon boots.”

PS – I missed the whole t-shirt thing. I totally would have bought one if I had found out about this limited time offer five days ago. I’m on the “let’s do that again” list. If you join me, maybe it will happen.
