In Your Heart, You Know He's Right

Humor columnist Dave Barry (read his interview in reason) is making a third consecutive run for president and the Miami Herald has set up a forum where readers can pepper him with questions. This seems to be the extent of the Barry campaign, but it's more fun than a barrel of Mini-Mitts.

Q: 54-40 or fight. Still operative?

A: This is the cornerstone of my foreign policy.

In the less-frantic days before his presidential bid, Barry contributed to reason's Person of the Year forum.

Dave Berry & Ron Paul, a presidential ticket with two libertarians and four first names.

Now that Lyndon LaRouche has retired from running, who, oh who will warn us of conspiracies including Queen Elizabeth?

I was thinking of Doug Stanhope. He's done.

He has three first names!

Our school's humor magazine published a Lyndon LaRouche issue with the cover "Ninth's Time the Charm!"
Looks like they should had done some research

If you're asking about Doug Stanhope, he quit (and said for Howard Stern to have Ron Paul on his show, BTW). Howard, so far, has not, and is flogging for the Democrats, only, but hopefully that will change.

Could just be dense, but I don't understand "54-40 or fight. Still operative?" Explain, please

"Now that Lyndon LaRouche has retired from running, who, oh who will warn us of conspiracies including Queen Elizabeth?"

From what I can tell, they've all joined the Ron Paul campaign. Not only that, they're in charge! I haven't seen a bigger collection of kooks, quacks and conspiracists since the heydey of the JBS. Ron Paul is coming to my town to speak, and the national campaign has urged everyone to distance themselves from the fringe. so what do the local campaign organizers do? Invite G. Edward Griffin and Joe Bannister to speak instead!

I'm so freaking pissed, I'm thinking of joining the Dave Berry campaign instead.

In Your Heart, You Know He's Right

Since no one else is gonna do it, I guess I'll have to:

In your gut you know he's a nut.
