For those enlightened few who have stuck around (or have just been too lazy to drop me from your friends list), I'm back once again.

...and, I have decided to throw my hat in the ring to be Mitt Romney's running mate.

Nobody else seems to want to do it, and, not that I'm remotely republican, (as I have been arrested in protest of the Bush administration, I was once employed by the lobbyist group Texas Campaign For The Environment, I regularly throw my support behind the Human Rights Campaign and other LGBT organizations, I used to write editorials for The Commemorator - which was a newsletter published by the Black Panther Party, most of my views lean towards Buddhism, I had eight years’ worth of dreadlocks down to my ass, most of my friends have a bit of a brownish tint to them, and I have a borderline obsession with Ani Difranco), but I figure he's got to balance the ticket somehow. And, after these neocon morons have alienated women, homosexuals, and pretty much anyone else who isn't a wealthy-white-male-christian-conservative, I figure I'm just the guy. I mean, after all, I am still a straight white male born and raised in west Texas. …the heart of Bush country.

And, with Dwam’s latest entry and an old favorite of mine by Mr. Joe Walsh, it has become clear to me that I am the obvious choice, and I would appreciate your support.

"Vote For Me"

I’d like to announce my candidacy,
I’d appreciate it if you’d vote for me.
I want to be Vice President.
Vote for me.

If I was Vice President you know what I’d do?
Pretty much anything I wanted to.
Vote for me. Vote for me.

I’d have a first class seat on Air Force One.
An awesome pad in Washington...D.C. (If you vote for me)
Play golf all day with heads of state,
If they brought beer wouldn’t that be great? I can’t wait!
Vote for me. Vote for me.

Well there are an awful lot of issues important to me.
Here’s my campaign policy,
Legislation, education,
occupation, arbitration,
conversation, equalization,
immigration, itemization,
immigration, race relations,
imitation, hospitalization...
I’m freaking out vote for me!

Well it’s the land of the brave, the home of the free.
That’s the funny thing about democracy.
A vote for me, is a vote for me!
