Okay, so there's this guy in New Hampshire named
Kenneth Stremsky who is running for president.
Greg's Opinion blogged on Stremsky's
blog a while back (and got a comment from the man himself). Want to find out what he stands for? Hope you're not going anywhere cause his "position papers" are some 250 pages long, printed out.
Here are some of his more interesting policies and bio information:
* - I am thinking about posing for nude adult portrait classes in the future in different decades of my life. I may also pose for nude photography classes. If I do pose for nude adult photo classes, I may ask that only black and white film be used because I like nudes done with black and white film a lot more than nudes done with color film. Someday, I hope there will be another Renaissance in the art world similar to the one that took place more than a hundred years. I also hope we will have more sculptors like Michelangelo and painters like Leonaro da Vinci. If Da Vinci is reincarnated in the United States of America in the future, he will probably be the most famous painter and richest inventor. I think our society is extremely, extremely stupid and suicidal when it cuts back on art programs, music programs, and libraries. We cut out our nation's heart when we cut back on art programs, music programs, and libraries. My recommended website page links to the Louvre Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and the Currier Gallery of Art."
* - "I have a great sense."
* - "I can howl like a wolf."
* - "I highly recommend that people check out the glass flowers display at Harvard University."
* - He has written many, many, many letters to the author of The Green Papers, and you can read every last one of them on his site, if you like.
* - "I often ramble."
* - "I have blown some friendships."
* - "PEOPLE SHOULD NOT VOTE FOR ME FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IF THEY HAVE NOT READ MY COMMENTS IN PART 1 OF LOCKE."
and
* - He likes negative coverage and wants more of it.
Well, I'm only too happy to oblige.
But I haven't gotten to the really good part yet!
He dedicates an
page two (two actually, though they say basically the same thing) on his site to the search for a wife so that he doesn't lose votes for being single!
This page, saying basically the same thing, has a song he wrote!
Weirder still? It's working!!
The AP interviewed him and he's gotten a lot of letters from women across the country and one from Australia and one from Brazil!
Before NLJ, I worked on a site called
RAWbservations for six months. It honestly never occured to me that I should pimp myself on the site. I figure between my eclectic views on politics and eccentric taste in music, it would have the opposite effect (and, in fact, I'm pretty sure it did, in one case). Using a presidential campaign to search for a bride? Genius! Puuuuuure genius!
Note:
Hillzoo,
Politics1, and
Greg all beat me to the punch here.
