Even though I disagree with the current California recall effort, having just received an absentee ballot in the mail I was at least amused by it. Each candidate is listed by name, political party, and profession, and I swear to God I am not making up any of these candidates:
- Ivan A. Hall, Custom Denture Manufacturer
- Kurt E. “Tachikaze” Rightmyer, Middleweight Sumo Wrestler
- Paul “Chip” Mailander, Golf Professional
- Angelyne, Entertainer
- Daniel Watts, College Student
- Mary “Mary Carey” Cook, Adult Film Actress
I was curious if Gary Coleman would list himself as a security guard, but he went with the safe choice of “Actor”. And of course, having read through the list of candidates I now definitely need to find a “Tachikaze for Governor” bumper sticker — how have those not swept across the state already?!?!
