Political campaigns look like fun. You get to travel, debate, kiss hands and shake babies (or something). You get to slander your opponent, and you get famous (sort of). I'd like to run for an office, but I'd like to lose because I wouldn't want to be a politician. I just think the campaign would be fun. Anyone else agree?

Oh yes, it'd be great. I need to get my own brainwashed masses. First, I need a platform... something different... any ideas?

I concur. But you have to be very charismatic and have amazing bullshit powers to be able to campaign.

You could, perhaps, work the ideals of Project Mayhem into a platform. Imagine your own army of bald space monkeys chanting "His name was Robert Paulson" at your rallys. It would terrify the shit out of some people, and entertain the hell out of others.

Hmm.. I'm not very charismatic, so I'm going to have to rely on bullshit to make up for that.

Now there's an idea! Someone give this man a cookie.

You could be one of those idiots who runs on the ballot in one state. Every single time.

You could call it the Toga Party.
