We have choices!

The problem with Donald Trump is that he sucks up all the attention in this race.   Granted, Orange Julius is a lot of fun but there are hundreds of other presidential candidates.  

So, in the interest of fairness and the American way, Politics1.com (http://www.politics1.com/p2016.htm) lists everyone seeking the house at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.  Below is just a sample of what America has to offer, literally something for everyone.

First, there’s Ricky Joe “Average Joe” Story, an Independent from Florida.
He’s a little too heavy on the Christianity angle, which will probably make it tough to pick-up the non-Christian vote (as well as the vote from most rational people).  http://www.theaveragejoeforpresident.com/

And thank you California, Zoltan Istvan the Trans-humanist candidate has thrown his hat in the ring.  Among other amazing things, his platform calls for the US to sponsor the first Trans-humanist Olympics.  I hate to break the news but you’re late on that one, Michael Phelps has been competing for years.  And one more thing Zoltan, is that your name, really?  http://zoltanistvan.com/

Then, faster than a speeding bullet, comes Paul “Superman” Falkenberg, the  Independent from Wisconsin.  Unfortunately, he doesn’t have a website but does he really need one? After all, he’s Superman - damn it.

Saving us from our sins is Jim Hedges representing the Prohibition Party from Pennsylvania.  Prohibition, yeah, let’s vote for something that we know doesn’t work – just like we’ve done so many times before.  http://www.hedgesandbayes2016.org/

Next up is Temperance Lance-Council representing the Anti-Hypocrisy party from California.  It appears she is all about promoting herself on twitter.  Hmm, sounds like someone else I know.  https://twitter.com/LanceCouncil



Thomas Keister from Indiana, is running for president on the US Marijuana Party platform.  Surprisingly, his “weed for the people” website actually makes some good arguments.  http://www.usmjparty.com/

Joe Exotic
Oklahoma sends its favorite son, the Independent Joseph “Joe Exotic” Maldonado.  He has unusual hair and a platform with a “thing” about animal rights people; hence the nickname, I guess.  http://www.joeexotic2016.com/

And rounding out this sample is Princess Kadijah Jocob Fambro representing the Revolutionary Party of California.  John Adams would be happy; finally, some royalty in the White House.  http://www.slaveryends2016.com/



   Can't wait until November.
