A true story - applicable today |
|
In 1962, the Brazilians were so fed up with their corrupt government that some students in a university, as a joke, put up a rhinocerous as a candidate. It was called Cacareco and guess what???? It was almost won!!!!! Perhaps we can put a leech on the ballot to run against B*&(&(*&?

They did a piece where a gorilla dressed in a hat and trenchcoat became known as "Silent Stranger" and was elected president. It could be done.......

3. Anybody remember Pigasus? |
|
He was a pig that the Yippies offered as a candidate in 1968. (The Youth International Party -- Abby Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, those people.) I don't think they actually got him on the ballot, though.
