I'm a Maverick Baby!!!!!

I think it's clear that the word of the month has to be maverick. No not the team in Dallas, nor the county in which Eagle Pass, TX resides, not even the Tom Cruise character in Top Gun (of course I happen to respect Goose way more, which leads me to the question in a Caldo Eating contest who wins Goose or Ice-man? Seriously....I don't think it particularly matters whether it's Caldo de Res or Caldo de Pollo my money's on Goose. But honestly, can anyone give me any sort of update on what's going on with Val Kilmer. I'm fairly certain he's alive, but is he still getting work. I mean if Kevin Costner can still get work after The Postman,Waterworld, and to a lesser degree Tin Cup (you had to see that coming) where's the love for Val?), but as dictionary.com defines a lone dissenter, as an intellectual, an artist, or a politician, who takes an independent stand apart from his or her associates. Come On!!! You can't seriously believe any and I do do mean ANY of these candidates are mavericks. When is the last time you heard that any of these people were lone dissenters'. When is the last time you've heard any qualitative major stance against an overwhelming tide of public opinion any and let me say it again ANY of these candidates have taken. You want a real maverick think of Tommy Smith and John Carlos defiantly putting up their fist at the 68' olympics.....Think Martin Luther King Jr. who decided it was better to fight violence with passive resistance..... most importantly think Jesus Christ who instead of causing violence to break out on his behalf said turn the other cheek and forgive them. So it is with great pleasure I ask you this question are you a Maverick???



Goose in my book you we're the real Maverick
