Drunken Pumpkin

Power corrupts. Absolute power is kind of neat.

Mayor Francis Slay has turned down a request to make Sept. 2 “Ike Turner Day.” The 75-year-old singer is scheduled to perform that day at the Big Muddy Blues Festival.

I find one of the most entertaining candidates in the 2008 race to be Michael Jesus Archangel. I’m linking back to the Politics1 website instead of Mike’s own site because, quite frankly, his site is completely unreadable. You can follow the link on the Politics1 site if you so desire and see this train wreck of html, but I seriously discourage it.

The snippet from his biography that is really quite entertaining is: “From the time I was a little boy I knew I was God and Michael the Archangel” which is pretty damn funny. I didn’t know that Michael was a part of god. That one is news to me.

I like this guy, because I can’t tell if he is genuinely a loony, or if it’s all just some incredibly weird ruse to get attention. If you do happen to go to his site (really. don’t.) the bulk of the page (that you can actually read anyway) is dedicated to selling his book. I can’t even imagine what a book by this guy would be like.

The biggest letdown for me is the fact that his website is such an unreadble abomination. Anyone that walks around claiming to not only be the son of god, but god and one of his angels, has to be a hoot. I think there’s a law or something. But from the way he presents himself he isn’t eccentric, he’s mad as a hatter and should probably be put away for his own good.

Well, after a little searching I found a bit of Michael’s site fit for human consumption, well, almost. Dig that lovely moustache.

In retrospect, I probably should have chosen a different chap to talk about. I can’t say anything about this guy. He’s crazy. And that’s pretty much that.

Tune in tomorrow for live viewing of me reading Harry Potter. Not really, but that’s pretty much what I plan to be up to.
