Paving the Way

Nurse Chris would like to thank the city of Silverton, Oregon, for electing Stu Rasmussen and putting a "few thousand cracks in the plexisglass ceiling." At 60, Stu is the first transgender mayor of Silverton, and quite possibly the first transgender politician anywhere. (We decided not to look this fact up, as searching for trannies is never a good idea.)

"Mr(s) Rasmussen is an inspiration to all those who are unsure of their gender and yet still want to make a difference," said Nurse Chris. "A true example of what it means to 'Believe to Dream.'"

"Believe to Dream" is the official Slogan-of-the-Month for the unofficial Nello/Nurse 2012 campaign.

Dr. Nello threw up upon hearing of Mr(s) Rasmussen.

Announcing, 2012

Disappointed with the results of the 2008 elections, Dr. Nello and Nurse Chris have decided they need to take action for this nation's political future. They're officially announcing their intent to possibly run for president and vice president of the United States.

Explaining their desire to explore the notion of maybe seeking the highest office, Dr. Nello explains, "Originally, we were deterred by our lack of executive experience, but as was shown this year, experience is like that creepy-beard Skittles commerical: irrelevant." (When it was pointed out to the bloggers that each candidate this year was either a senator or a governor, Dr. Nello said, "Don't be distracted by those distractions!")

Nurse Chris adds, "We feel confident about winning if we actually go through with this, because it would be a historical first, electrifying voters. I would be the first hermaphroditic tranny to be #2 in the nation!" Nurse Chris then snickered at saying "number two."

"Of course," Dr. Nello interjects, "I might get to busy or forget or something. But I've really put a lot of thought into it this last hour."

Nurse Chris mused on a few simple, vague campaign slogans: "Probably Could," "Breakfast First," "Change Hope's Diaper" and "Counseling."

Dr. Nello and Nurse Chris immediately suspended their campaign until further notice.
