I believe there is a Ministry involved.
To: mhking
I'd vote for him as Minister of Silly Walks. Mayor is a bit much.

A lot of them end up over here in the wilderness. The real ones, that is, not the ones who believe America is the Wild West and no culture.

Anybody know under what party affiliation he'd run? If he's a democrat I'll have to reassess my impression of the man's intelligence, but I'd be very hard pressed to stop liking him.
