Oh, thank you! I burst out laughing several times.



I frankly don't think this guy could be any worse than the recent crop. However before committing, I need to check out Old Man Cooter's platform, he looks promising.

The other two guys in suits somehow just look ridiculous. Of course I assume one of them will win. They remind me of a passage in the anthropological classic, Patterns of Culture by Ruth Benedict (1934), about Zuni society and Adobe Indian culture generally, where social and economic power is ingeniously spread out among everyone:

Personal authority is perhaps the most vigorously disparaged trait in Zuni. 'A man who thirsts for power or knowledge, who wishes to be as they scornfully phrase it "a leader of his people," receives nothing but censure and will very likely be prosecuted for sorcery'

OMG, I laughed so hard. He's authentic, I'll give him that.
