Just when you thought it wouldn’t be harder to find a presidential candidate goofier than Donald Trump.  And yet, someone has found him. Deez Nuts is one of many declared presidential candidates lining up for consideration in November.  He joins my favorite candidate, Louisville house cat Limberbutt McCubbins, as one of many people to file a statement of candidacy for consideration for the office of the President of the United States.

Deez Nuts and Limberbutt McCubbins aren’t the only odd presidential candidates.  After all, so far, 512 people have filed statements of candidacy, including  80 Democrats, 127 Republicans, 135 independents, 12 Libertarians, and 15 people who gave no party affiliation, not to mention all the other strange fringe parties that some people might just be making up.  Of course, none of these folks really have a shot at winning anything, but it’s nice to be considered for nomination, and it’s a great way to get your own Wikipedia page if you’re currently without one.

Of course, there’s always the horrifying reality that you might win, but for most of these 512 candidates, that’s a fortunate pipe dream.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
