Paris Hilton has released a second campaign video for her (fake) presidential bid, with an endorsement from former President Jed Bartlet. Truthfully, I’m somewhat impressed by Ms. Hilton’s approach to the campaign season. Many celebrities openly endorse one candidate or another without laying out their reasons. Apparently they’d just have us vote one way or the other because someone famous said we should. Ms. Hilton is instead using her tongue-in-cheek presidential bid to bring up real issues that the real campaigns are ignoring.
Bearing that in mind, this seems like a good time to round up all the third-party candidates. Now if I could just get them to agree on a debate format….

The Presidency
It seems to me that it’s time to face facts: This Country Needs a Presidental Candidate.
The Democratic Party has done a tremendous job of shooting itself in the foot over the past year. Between the endless posturing over Michigan and Florida and the choice of candidates going to the superdelegates instead of the voters (Quite ironic that it’s called the “Democratic” Party, huh?), it’s not hard to imagine the voters defecting en masse.
Of course, the Republican side isn’t any better. I do somewhat like McCain’s willingness to compromise — most members of both parties seem to have decided that winning arguments without concession to other opinions is the only way to go — but between the awful state of the economy, the endless war, the wholesale erosion of individual rights in favor of business interests and still more endless posturing, well, I just have a hard time trusting the Republican party either.
If there was ever a time for a third-party candidate, this is it! I first mentioned this candidate two years ago, and the reasons for choosing him are as valid now as then:
He stands for:
- People
- Freedom
- Democracy
- and stuff
(Just try getting any of the other candidates to admit to that last one!)
Still not convinced? Check out his campaign video!
So remember: Vote Early, Vote Often and Vote Beeblebrox!
