Libertarian Stanhope "drunk with power!"

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on July 31st, 2006

Doug Stanhope is running for the Libertarian Party’s nomination for the 2008 presidential race. (“Drunk with power” is his rallying cry.) He’s even created a special myspace page to promote his candidacy.

Yes, I am very serious. Most of us know how completely screwed the system has become. Yet we shrug it off as something too deeply rooted to change. I’m tired of accepting what we have now as the best we can do and I know yelling about it in barrooms and comedy clubs isn’t going to force anyone’s hand.

It’s a trend. Scroll down two posts and you can read about a comedian in Venezuela challenging Hugo Chavez for the presidency.
