VOTE GOOD SPACE GUY 2010!!!

While thumbing through my Washington State voter's pamphlet yesterday, I came across a candidate for the office of U.S. Senate named "GoodSpaceGuy." Seriously, that's it - he's had his name legally changed to "GoodSpaceGuy." Upon reading his bio, he mentions some of his qualifications; "Nonsmoking, nondrinking, prosperous, healthy Goodspaceguy."


Goodspaceguy looking like some type of child molesting high school principal

Oh, but it gets better. Basically he's campaigning on an agenda that we should be colonizing space, creating orbiting space stations around Earth, the moon and Mars. I thought a little about this, and he's got a very good point - instead of wasting billions of dollars in the Middle East fighting skirmishes we shouldn't have been involved in in the first place, we could be increasing NASA's funding and seeing if orbital colonization is a viable option.

Goodspaceguy is also a huge advocate of employment and job creation, especially for the homeless. He wants homeless people to work in state parks and in the library for minimum wage - it would allow libraries to be open more hours. HA!

More importantly, Goodpsaceguy is absolutely bat shit crazy, and I love him for that. I also love that in our country literally ANYONE can run for public office.


"Mike The Mover" looking like a stoned sheep herder

There's another guy named "Mike The Mover" running for the same seat as Goodspaceguy. Mike The Mover's rambling statement in the pamphlet included references to Wall Street executives vacationing at "Disney World & White Sulfur Springs." He also talks about Americans wasting money on "boob jobs."


Goodspaceguy's rambling, barely coherent closing statements in an interview on PBS.

Jesus Christ, can we please set up a debate between these two guys?
