I hate dirty patchouli stinking hippies…

Hell Dick, that’s not a “skeleton”…that’s a platform!

Here are my skeletons:
I was in 7th grade when I first got drunk. Then pretty much continuoisly until I turned 21. Then pretty much stopped.

Painted “Eat My Shorts” on the side of an old dredge stuck in the mud of Humboldt Bay visible from the freeway in 1989ish with a group of friends.

Really liked “Armeggedon”.

Couldn’t “close the deal” until I was 22. Then I married her. I guess that’s not really a skeleton. But we shacked up for a couple of years prior to getting hitched.

I hate dirty patchouli stinking hippies. Again, not really a skeleton.

Did my damndest to inhale once in college. Didn’t work for me.

That’s pretty much it. How lame is that?

Your skeletons are better than mine.

I’m still basically all talk and no action but rolling over this idea helps make the current bs going on more tolerable.

I'll run, although I'd like to remove the word "excessive" from the farm subsidies line. Basically, I'm going to vote "no" on everything unless it eliminates a program. My Constitutional guidance will be the first five words of the first amendment. I'd also offer up my closet skeletons: -I have drunk and will continue to drink copious amounts of this. -I've porked a few fat chicks in my day. Currently into Asian chicks. -I went to Amsterdam, and I went for exactly the reason you're thinking I went. -I enjoyed Hudson Hawk.

Well, I wouldn’t say serious yet. I don’t know if I could pull it off. I have no deep pockets to finance a run, and no experience with a political campaign. I am not an activist, just a under the radar smart ass who is sick of our political class across the board.

It may be no more than a self-indulgent fantasy. I can atleast goof on the party hacks.

Wow, you’re serious about this. I just checked out your website.

In a previous blogging incarnation, I was a proud member of IP. Dead link from the blogroll has been removed. I have a bit of a habit of deleting blogs when I get bored with them. I, of course, will be happily angling for an IP endorsement if possible.

Better you than me, Dick…

Of course it looks like Dick would make a great Prick if he decided to run as an IP…

Screw it. Here’s the link to the forthcoming campaign blog. Keep in mind it’s a satire right now (not a very good one btw). But it’s a start.

I’ve had it blocked as private until I can decide what to do with it if anything. Consider it a very rough draft. More to come.
