Your Vote (fnord) Counts!

Via BoingBoing, I've become aware that cult author and bizarro genius Robert Anton Wilson has joined the Cali gubernatorial circus, running on a "guns and dope" platform. His position papers are available here, and I'm pleased to note that for more in-depth information on his political philosophy, he links to Randy Barnett's Lysander Spooner page.

Sorry Jean, you're not cleared for that.

Part of me thinks that old Rob is making a fool of himself. The other part of me desperately wants him to win as unlikely a proposition as it sounds.

Usually hate to be one of those "read my quote and see truth!" people, but Heinlein's
"Be wary of strong drink. It can make you shoot at tax collectors... and miss." applies just as strongly to pills and smokables.

Could you elucidate on that, please... um, whatever your name is?

As bizarre as it seems, if Robert is refering to medical reefer, he very well is running as a populist.

What, no mention of de Selby as a running mate?

weirdness...i was just reading the widow's son this morning. et in arcadia ego baby!

i have the sinking feeling that robert anton wilson is the most lucid and coherent political candidate i'll ever see in my lifetime. and probably the only one with a sense of humor that isn't restricted to laughing at the fucktards who put him in office.

Fucktards. Another word not used nearly enough.
