Weird guy at my gym. . . [View all]

A typical wingnut with extra delusional goodness. Out of the blue yesterday, he started talking loudly about having a KENYAN president and who would have thought it. We just had our Indiana primaries on Tuesday, and he stated that he held his nose and voted for Romney. His real guy, however, was HERMAN CAIN. He wanted me to know that people were afraid to have a SMART, AFRICAN-AMERICAN BUSINESSMAN on the ballot. He used to be a Palin supporter, but she proved herself not a CHRISTIAN. Also, OBAMA is an IDIOT and an embarrassment to this country. Also, hormones in animals are a government plot that will result in giant animals by 2040. I guess I have to start working out at a different time of day. For some reason, he seemed to be directing this at me, a black woman. Today, he came up behind me and said, "Hey baby," and began a very normal conversation. I just smiled and nodded. The attendants at this gym said that a few people have started coming at different times because of him. His other delusions include fluorinated water, the HPV vaccine, and microchips ingested with psychiatric medication. YIKES!
