Rats! I Missed My Chance

I didn't vote in the '08 presidential election. But I think I would've if I'd known of the candidacy of Toyama Koichi. Not only does he render the "birther" arguments moot using blindingly-brilliant logic, he also doesn't co-opt lame pop songs for his campaign music.



Now, maybe I did vote for Toyama Koichi: at about 4:20 into this campaign spot, he does say that he's considering all abstentions, including the involuntary ones, as votes for him. But since I hadn't even heard of him at the time, I don't feel right about taking credit for supporting him.

His foreign-policy prescriptions are superb.

Oh, well, maybe he'll be a candidate again in '12. On second thought, that's kind of useless, too, due to the whole Mayan-calendar thing. Again: rats!

How did we miss this guy? I'd have voted for him ... if I could spell his name. I mean, Pat Paulsen's not available any more.

'Tis pity ... Mr. Paulsen's been gone for years, and "Boozer" Kennedy's just now handed in his lunch pail. Oh, well ...
