The F Plus - 30: No Sense of Decency
Episode Date: September 22, 2010With a two-party system, and an entrenched media bias favoring the status quo, often it is difficult for less established candidates to have their views heard. As a duty to the country more than ...half of call home, The F Plus attempts to correct this oversight, and reads the words as written by three overlooked candidates for political office: A fundamentalist libertarian, a man with his own religion, and Basil Marceaux: A man who, even by F Plus standards, is completely unclassifiable. This week, we go way beyond the beltway, and start to wish more people used soap.

Hey there, welcome to the F Plus Podcast.
Terrible Things, Red with Enthusiasm.
My name's Lemon.
And I'm Kumquats Up.
And Kumquats Up, as a guest host, a temporary guest host, I feel like I need to ask you weird and impersonal
questions that are kind of illegal.
So who did you vote for in the last election?
Well, I'll tell you.
Okay, good.
I could not in good conscience vote for a single candidate.
Really?
Because they did not meet my threshold, my
required minimum threshold
of crazy.
Of crazy?
So when you vote, you're looking
specifically for crazy candidates?
I mean, I want, like, washcloth
eating, like,
gibbering crazy.
Wait, don't you live in California?
Yes, and I mean...
And that's still not crazy enough?
You know, we had the Mary Carey thing.
Right, yeah, I remember that.
I mean, you know,
taking dick isn't really crazy.
I mean, Gary Coleman, but...
Gary Coleman's
pretty crazy, or was pretty crazy, though.
Yes.
But, I'm just saying, no candidates that I could find.
If I was to ask you what three things you look for in a candidate, what would they be?
Well, primarily it's fixations.
I really want somebody who is so obsessed with something, like a single-minded fixation on something.
Now, this could be you know
regular everyday objects it could be like uh you know a fence post uh or this could be uh you know
animate objects you know it could be like a particular person uh like like like pigpen uh
from the charles schultz universe um yeah yeah just the fixation on something. Fixation. Okay, what would number two be?
Questionable standards of health and hygiene.
Oh, sure.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, that's what most of us are looking for, I think.
Yeah.
And then what would number three be?
Well, I'd have to say number three would be tendencies towards secessionism.
Okay, okay. Well, I got bad news and good news for you. All right. Tendencies towards secessionism. Okay.
Okay.
Well, I got bad news and good news for you.
All right.
Bad news is that this episode, we are not reading the personal blog or Twitter of Tom Tancredo, which I think would probably fit all of these gaps.
But we are reading other third party politicians politicians who have run for office, and
I think they might fit your bill.
I think you might like these guys.
My question to you, sir, would be, do you have any
intrepid souls who would be willing
to read this material for us?
Let's find out!
In the room tonight, we have A.C. Rockawaddle.
Hello, my name is A.O., and I'm here to say...
Psst!
Vortex?
Agent Allsoldier, no.
When he get two orders from the different general,
you must follow the first one so the agent can get you
to listen to the last Republican principal
from the government president...
Boot train gear!
Boot train gear!
Boot train gear!
This section of the podcast is good for just about anything.
Music, reader intros, whatever you want.
Funny bread. Hello, ladies. I've been soap-free
since 1983 and loving it.
Hey, everybody. My name's John Charles Wilson
and I don't give a fuck. Vote for me.
Cum quads up.
Climbed out of the podcast butthole.
And lemon. Free soap! Free soap! Soap is a political prisoner. and lemon free soap
free soap
soap is a political prisoner
alright so are we ready for
are we ready to look at some
alternative
politics
so but in America
there are
two parties there's a Republican
and a Democratic party and if you're not part of those two parties. There's the Republican and Democratic Party.
If you're not part
of those two parties, it doesn't really matter.
This is
Basil Marceau.
Oh, yes.
He's the governor of Tennessee.
He's really quite special.
Are we allowed to do Basil Marceau impressions while we
read this? Please tell me that's the case.
Of course.
I mean, so long as you can actually understand the text.
Well, he doesn't, but okay.
All right.
I'm going to click on this.
And this will be, wow.
This is like a GeocCity site or something I
See some words here that when put together and some of the money from real words just don't make the slightest bit of sense
Yeah, that's his art
Okay
I'm Michael Marshall's tater. I the fourth week on berated the first three minutes
The first way called the first way
in 2008
who was asking for your support
for the following Republican proposition.
You want to stand in
the back wall?
He's got a pro-sition, first of all.
Pro-sition?
Yeah, I said pro-sition.
Oh, I was just slurring so much you didn't
get my beautiful diction.
The diction's kind of killing the text a little bit.
I think you need to clean up. Okay, okay.
I'll just read it as me. I'm sorry.
Okay.
As a force recon
Marine is the first
Freedmen's Bureau agent slash
great man of 2008
who is asking for your support
and vote for the following
Republican position.
U.S. Senate of Zach Womp in 2010 makes the court system, Congress, Army, Navy, Air Force,
to fly the same flag as the Marine Corps, which is the three-color U.S. flag.
Make sure that if national insurance is put in place,
make sure
that if national insurance
is put in place, I will make sure
the roots of such bill
would not include
would not include
would not include
any type
measuring of the waste like
other counties
quoted on 1309
waste is like
waste is like your
your fatness
why you call me fatness
measuring of the waste
that's not gonna make sense though
because the Marines are normally like
no fatties allowed.
No fat chicks policy.
We don't want no fat Marines.
Well, you know, I mean, if you're schlepping up
a 500-pound pack upside,
you know, an upside-down mountain or something.
Upside-down mountain.
Whatever wacky adventure Marines get up to.
We don't want fatties.
Acer, what do you think of America and its
geology? I mean... Do you think we have upside down mountains a lot?
Fucking awesome.
Basil, what are your other positions?
As Tennessee
governor in 2010,
using the Civil Rights Act
that's just one, of 1966
for the first time in history
to find out two things.
One, why democracy invaded the U.S. to find out two things. One, why democracy
invaded the U.S. state
on July 16th.
Ah, voting!
That was just even mean.
Voting!
Have we really gotten to the point
where someone so incoherent stogs like,
wait, what are you talking about?
Can we just stop here for just a second?
And let me ask you this.
Why have you not voted for this guy already?
I have.
We can't yet.
Go out there and vote for him.
I don't care.
So that's the first thing.
Why democracy invaded the U.S. state on July 16, 1866.
What else?
To stop constitutional right violations in our state At all cost
I will tell you all this
Vote for me
And if I win I will immune you
From all state crimes for the rest of your life
Of you life
Except violating
Except violating a citizen
rights, this would be a special punishment.
Making Tennessee
the first state in the United States
to actually listen to the U.S.
and state constitution
and all cities.
What's that? What's that constitution?
What did you say? Constitution?
You want me to immune this guy from all crimes?
We will get Tennessee a hearing aid. What's that, Constitution? What did you say, Constitution? You want me to immune this guy from all crimes? Tennessee A.
Because the last Republican
form of government, which was
1866, thought they would rather
have 50 murders on the street
than one constitutional
violator. Now, in 2008,
all office holders
break their oath the next day.
Yes. Yes.
Oh.
Uh-huh.
Hey, hey,
Basil, Basil Marceau,
what is a good senator or governor?
A good senator or governor?
I'm glad you asked, person.
One, follows the oath to the Constitution.
I can't read anymore.
How does that work?
This thing sucked all the brains out.
No, there's a, there's a, the oath is like, it's kind of like a line, like a path.
There's like signs.
And so if you want to get to the Constitution, you just have to follow the oath there.
Oh, I see.
So, follow the yellow brick oath.
Right.
It's like that question.
Yeah.
Yeah.
See, I'm not a Constitutional Stalin like some.
Right.
Two, has well being
for the citizens rights and
safety
three people person
he's got that one covered
you gotta admit
wait number four is gonna
clinch it for him
four honest and smart
five going to clinch it for him. Four, honest and smart. No! Five,
a good listener.
He's already shown he can listen to the Constitution.
He's got the funniest webpage
that hasn't been happened all day.
The fucking voice is dancing around in his head.
As much as I love
Basil Marceau, I think we need
a break from him.
This is Kevin Craig for Congress.
Kevin Craig is both a libertarian and crazy.
Ooh, that's a combination you rarely see.
What?
But here's the thing.
He's a libertarian candidate, but he's also a
Christian fundamentalist.
He wants Jesus
to be the same thing as the law,
so I'm not really sure how that works
with the... Judge Jesus!
Just stop raising Jesus' taxes,
I guess.
Da-da-da-da!
I was hoping you would take
Would Jesus Celebrate Memorial Day?
Because this is a very edgy post right here.
Oh, shit.
Oh, wow.
It's got a picture of Muhammad Ali in it, so that's pretty good.
I like any political articles written
that have pictures of Muhammad Ali next to them.
I don't know why
more don't. Yeah.
You would think.
Would Jesus celebrate
Memorial Day?
Would Jesus celebrate Memorial Day?
The United States has three holidays
which honor those who chose
war over peace.
Veterans Day, those who
fought and lived. Memorial Day, those who fought and lived. Memorial Day,
those who fought and died. And Independence
Day, those who took up arms
to abolish the government. So is that like
both lived and died? Abolish
the government.
It's over. Goodbye.
Armed Forces Day is a
runner-up. Well, you don't want to contaminate
your data pool.
Shouldn't a Christian nation like
America have a day to honor those
who withstood the temptation to violence
and vengeance and chose
peace instead of choosing war?
Yes, I say
yes!
I was going to say yes too
then. Okay, yeah.
Choose war! What about those who were conscripted I was going to say yes too then. Okay, yeah. Me for yes.
Choose war.
What about those who were conscripted as in the Vietnam conflict?
They had no choice, right?
Yes?
No.
No, I'm going with no.
He's winking and elbowing. They had the power to refuse even though they may have lost their status or even gone to jail.
Jesus underwent worse forms of torture.
Remember when Jesus refused to serve in Vietnam?
Oh my god.
Well, do you remember seeing him there? Uh, no.
No, no, he's a pussy. He's a big ol' pussy.
Yeah, I call him a fag. Jesus.
Even those who are drafted have a
choice and can choose to
do violence to no man.
Luke 3.14.
No matter what the penalty is.
Cassius Clay converted to Islam
and as Muhammad Ali said
he would not fight in a
Christian war.
What an asshole.
Until the United States Supreme Court
unanimously overturned the decision.
Ali lost his right to work and faced five years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
That's $67,286.73 in 2010.
That's the one that really gets you the 73 cents.
Yeah, I was fine right up to those cents.
Inflation can swing that. Hang on here.
Oh, what?
Just digging in the couch cushions.
Well, I found the other $67,000.
73 cents.
He gave up the best years of his athletic career
to make a point.
Would Jesus honor those who chose to fight
or did not choose not to fight?
Wait, there's too many nots in there. I forgot. If you did not choose not to fight? Wait, there's too many nots in there.
I forgot.
If you did not choose not to fight,
then you'd have to have chosen to fight.
Chose to fight or did not choose not to fight.
Would Jesus honor those who chose to fight
or those who chose to fight?
Think about it.
Not!
Okay, I'm going to ask the guard on the left
if he could ask the guard on the right if he is a liar.
We're almost done
with philosophy 101 here.
Didn't Jesus
say, blessed are the
peacemakers?
He's referring to guns.
Yeah, people who make
9mm.
Jesus never said,
Bless and honor the war makers.
Damn!
Yeah, we clearly never read the Conservapedia.
It's all in quotes, though,
because maybe Jesus said,
Blessed are the war makers,
but that's not bless and honor them,
so, you know...
Yeah, so why would they get better special privilege
over the peacemakers?
Yeah.
He's the fair guy.
It is appropriate to
weep with them that weep, Romans 12, 15.
We should mourn the senseless loss
of fathers, husbands, and sons,
and, perhaps more so,
mothers, wives, and daughters.
But every good human being,
and especially those who claim to follow
the Prince of Peace, should reject war and choose peace.
Choose peace! They're good for you.
Choose peace!
Kevin Craig has another one here that I really like. The idea of medical marijuana has been debated
from a whole lot of sides.
But I like the argument
of whether or not Jesus
would allow medical marijuana.
It's a good point.
Yeah, exactly.
So that's what we're going to do here.
Bunk Girl, do you want to take this one?
Oh, this is awesome.
Kevin Craig for Congress
Marijuana and multiple sclerosis
UC studies find promise in
medical marijuana, LA Times
Making marijuana illegal
is unchristian
This is where his own opinion starts
First, it requires politicians
to take the Lord's name in vain
Here's how
What? Okay.
Sweet Jesus, I love marijuana.
You're required to say that too.
You have to say it, yeah.
All who are opposed say nay.
All who are in favor say sweet Jesus,
I love marijuana.
I love marijuana.
You left us out the sweet Jesus part,
so. Politicians raise their right hand Toward heaven and take a solemn oath
To abide by the constitution
So help me
God
They violate that oath when they criminalize
Marijuana or act to override
State laws favoring medical marijuana
A century ago
When federal politicians were
asked to make alcohol illegal,
they correctly and properly replied,
the Constitution doesn't give us
the power to make alcohol illegal.
You'll have to amend the Constitution to give us that
power. Anti-alcohol
advocates did so, and amending the Constitution
to give Congress power over
alcohol created Al Capone
and organized crime. Al Capone and organized crime.
Al Capone was born right then.
Power of Italian stereotypes.
Somewhere in the parking lot of a seedy bar,
like a naked man just appeared.
What am I doing here?
It's like the first scene in Terminator.
Just behind a dumpster and there's
a Tommy gun.
He goes into the biker bar and has to take the leather
jacket.
So that amendment was
repealed. And with it,
all federal power to outlaw alcohol.
The Constitution...
Dissolved into a puddle of ooze.
Oh, no!
Oh, what a world! What a world!
He was banished to the
outer realm.
It's like when all those misogynists
died when women's suffrage went through.
Yeah, that was pretty cool.
The Constitution has never been properly
amended to give the federal government power
to put people like Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, and other founding fathers in prison for growing certain plants.
But nobody cares about oaths these days.
Second, that was all one point, the criminalization of hemp violated the biblical prohibition against engrossing commodities to enhance the price, and still does.
Yeah, you need to get them to amend the Bible,
the whole thing.
It's a Bible special edition.
Yeah.
With the Ford by Iron Man.
I think the 700 Club actually said that.
Bible 2.1.
No, no, it's like the New Age Bible.
Kids these days, and Jesus said to the other guys,
hey, what's happening?
Don't be like that.
We can sit on a chair that's turned backwards.
If newspaper
publisher William Randolph
Hearst had owned hemp instead
of trees, hemp would have been used to make his
newspapers and would be America's number one
cash crop today. But Hearst was
invested in trees.
Damn you, trees.
Whoa.
That is really
weird.
What the hell does that even mean?
He used his influence
to slander marijuana
and get politicians to pass laws
against it. Hearst's trees would have
been worth much less with competition
from hemp. If, if we go
back to the time that William
Randolph Hearst walked out into his front
yard and saw a bunch of trees and said
I wonder if I could make some kind of
flat surface that things
could be written or printed upon
and then he invented paper.
But if he had
went to his backyard
He would have gotten
some much better ideas.
You're by the sewer route.
The entire Hearst newspaper empire
is because he needed something
to do with all that paper.
He just made a bunch of paper
and was like, shit, now what I'm going to do with it.
Well, he had a vault.
It was like,
he put all the paper
in there
and then he'd jump into it
Scrooge McDuck style.
There's got to be something more than this.
Well, he did a lot of paper cuts
swimming in paper that way.
Oh, yeah.
He only did it once.
Third,
inflicting pain and suffering
on patients who could benefit
from marijuana
is like inflicting pain
on Jesus Christ himself.
That's a direct quote from the Bible, isn't it?
Matthew 25, 31-46.
That almost turned into
an actual rational point until it was
just like, it's just like hurting Jesus.
Are we talking about the Big Lebowski now?
Yes.
We are always talking about the Big Lebowski.
If I could treat Jesus' glaucoma, I so would.
A Christian
should not vote for any politician who promises to punish people solely for possessing or using or even selling marijuana.
Here's the quote that he was talking about.
When the Son of Man comes in his glory and all the holy angels with him,
then he will sit on the throne of his glory and all the nations will be gathered before him,
and he will separate them from one another as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats, and he will set the sheep on his right hand but the goats on his left, And that's why you should vote for people or not vote for people who are against marijuana if you're a Christian or maybe if you're not a Christian.
Right.
Jesus, I'm not marijuana.
He just made his own up.
Look at you!
Yeah, there's sheep on the left side and then there were goats on the right side, so therefore
marijuana.
He hasn't really planned on anyone clicking these links, did he?
I could have looked like.
Kumquat, I believe you had something that you wanted to paste into, you wanted us to
read? Yeah, so I've been exploring more of
Mr. Marceau's
works, including some that
were taken down
unceremoniously from AOL when they
shut down their
hometown service.
What the fuck? He's an American and a patriot.
Come on.
It looks like AOL
did it.
However, thanks to thewondersofarchive.org who apparently is a freedman.
Oh, excellent.
Do you know where democracy came from?
France?
I don't know.
I'm going to go with the Magna Carta.
I'm going to go with when
Mama Democracy and Daddy Democracy were. I'm pretty sure it was the Magna Carta. The Bible? I'm going to go with when Mama Democracy and Daddy Democracy.
I'm pretty sure it was sent down
from Jesus Christ.
He answers. I bet you didn't know this.
Greece, a democracy, went to Troy
with a horse filled with Democrats.
You mean the musical?
What?
And the devil went down to Georgia, I think.
Greece, the musical, went to Troy, the university,
and then they had a horse. No, the musical went to Troy, the university, and then they had a horse.
No, I thought it was Grease
the musical toured
to the city of Troy, where
Helen is.
Is John Travolta involved?
He's always involved.
God damn it.
Went to
Troy with a horse filled with
Democrats and party with the Troyians.
Party with the Troyians during the day
and at night they climbed out of the butthole
and killed everybody.
So they have a lot in common with the people at the F+, then.
I don't think.
Hey, I climbed out of a horse's butthole.
And for that, you're going to die, pal.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, my God.
Oh, I really hope that he's a grade school teacher.
Where did democracy come from?
Well, a horse's ass.
That's a bunch of people who killed everybody.
Oh, just wait.
And killed everybody and at the same time burned
it to the ground.
What, the butthole?
Yes.
Then, then sent Julius
Creaser to Rome,
another republic,
to Rome, another republic
and invaded them, forced them in democracy.
Thomas Jefferson
signed the Republic Constitution
in 1875, and then
in 1891, became
the father of democracy, which makes him a traitor.
I know why, but that's another story.
Thomas Jefferson
climbed out of the butthole.
I didn't even know he was
Greek. He climbed out of the butthole. I didn't even know he was briefed. I'm out of the butthole.
What in the crap is going on?
Nobody knows.
Nobody knows.
Basil Marceau knows. He just won't tell us.
He'll know later, apparently.
He says he knows
why, but that's another story, apparently.
But that, my children, is a tale for another day.
All right.
Um,
all right.
One more thing from Basil here.
Things of importance.
Number one,
can a higher court say no to second traffic stops and a County court say yes over ruling the higher court?
No,
they cannot,
but they every day in Tennessee.
Are you duly convicted?
No, I would take
12 stuns to protect a citizen.
Would a lawyer? No,
they will not! They do not even
read Knowles vs. Iowa?
10 vs. Puckett!
Is Andrew Ryan reading this?
Number two, the state fuel budget is a concern of mine.
It may hinder safety on the side of government.
I would introduce a bill to make all the state vacant land that are open field,
and along the highway, a farm and this farm will plant corn products
and other plant life that can be used for alternative fuel.
I'm sorry, alternative fuel.
The fuel is altered in sorry, alternative fuel. Alternative fuel.
The fuel is altered in some way. Right. Well, no,
it's fuel to get you high.
Oh, I thought it was alliterative
fuel.
It's fucking fuel.
Man, you get high off his fuel,
you're free with his fucking fuel,
you ain't got a foosball, ferrets.
The 13th says criminal are slaves, so we will take
non-period hyphen violent
criminals who are duly convicted and
allowed them to work
to plant, take care of,
harvest, put are the product
into trucks where they will, where they
took to the refiner,
give them some of the product
to pay for processes, and we will take
the rest of money, or
alternate fuel,
B2, delivered to cities,
counties across the state.
What?
Oh my god.
I don't know exactly what
he's trying to do here, but I'm all for it.
Number three.
I would like to update the
monetary car insurance to match the
Federal Insurance Act where they say
if you do not know the name and
address of the person who will get the check
when you pay the money to your agent, it is
gaming and not we can gamble
in Tennessee. Right now,
we are gaming. My plan
would lower car insurance by 45%.
Well, yeah, since you
laid it out so perfectly, it makes sense. I checked
the math and he's right. With this
plan to follow federal act
is to insure
your car and nobody
else because the only name
we will know who will get the check
is ourselves who pay money to
agents. We have no insurable
interest in any other person.
Oh.
Neither do we, apparently.
Citizens who get a food stamp and
SS check cannot afford to buy where
the food now can afford to
pay insurance. We would need to find
a way to pay the insurance for them.
Oh.
Uh,
wait, are we going to do it with the farm?
With the litter of fuel?
I don't even...
Number four might be my favorite.
Number four.
My friends
are beer stores.
My friends are beer stores.
Clearly.
My friends are beer stores
say they must
check 200 DL a day
and that
400 minutes a day per clerk,
which is over six hours at $7
an hour, that $42,
with it mandatory, then we must pay them.
Okay.
No argument here.
So the argument is that
the cost of checking
driver's licenses for...
Oh, is that what that is?
It's not something that he wants to change.
It's just things of importance.
Boots, you don't really want to unravel this.
At any point, you're like,
I think I see it now.
His friend's beer store
pays $42 a day
to check IDs.
It pays the store directly?
That's 400 minutes a day per clerk
spent checking IDs.
That's what he says.
400 minutes.
How shitty are they at checking these IDs?
Okay!
Here we go!
Des, you are a person.
Is that correct?
Des is a beer store.
In fact, just down the street is
the beer store.
Now, you're not
making the same expression in the
photo as you're out there.
Looks like you're wearing a different shirt, too.
So, I'm sorry. I can't lie.
Just close your eyes and stick out your tongue and we'll see, okay?
Number five.
I believe we must hate the U.S. flag because we fly the wrong one.
And when we fly the right one, we and the government fly it wrong.
Can we start honoring the U.S. flag again?
Well, yeah.
Oh, I mean, no.
No, no, we cannot.
Because he says he believes that we must hate the flag.
So no, we cannot.
This is a question.
This is a question.
I hate the flag.
He shit flags.
Number six.
Either as senator and when I run it for 2010 governor post,
I will recall all gun permits and registrations, and we will not hold any registrations in the state.
The right to bear arms against our government and not burglars must be protected after the Supreme Court ruling.
What does that even mean?
Well, look, when you buy a gun, they hand it to you and they say, no, you're not going to use this on any burglars, are you?
No, sir. No, no, no. Just the government.
I can just see it now.
You know, some paranoid gun collector got just waiting in his bed.
Somebody breaks down the door.
You better not be the government.
Oh, I'm a burglar.
My gun doesn't work now.
Wait a minute. You didn't run for senator one year, did you? I actually kind of did.
Bang!
Yeah, fuck you!
Fuck you, potential senator!
He was the president of the
high school debate club.
That's kind of questionable.
I think you're allowed to wound him then.
I find it hard to take a campaign fund from anyone
because if they give me money, they expect something,
and then they seal it with a handshack.
I think this is right.
Oh, no.
So to keep everything honest, let's put all funds in one bucket.
That sounds delicious.
KFC, bucket of funds!
Counties and state Then divide those buckets
Among whoever
Once wants to run
And nobody owes anybody
What?
I like his money bucket idea
Yeah when you chop down buckets it's kind of like
Those one worms that they regrow
So
It's a planarian.
Yeah, there we go. Thank you.
Number eight. Education.
Something he has an authority on.
He is.
Oh, this is going to be a good one sentence.
Alright, here we go.
Education, space comma,
let us put phonics back in school.
If you cannot read, you cannot
do history, math, English.
It's all one class for him.
Hey, gotta go, man. I'm late for history,
math, English.
Just a clever plan to show everyone how
important education was. Genius.
So where are we at now?
Here we are now.
Let Nicky Mand mandatory in high school
to read the minutes to the U.S. Congress,
the Congressional Globe,
and the real history of the U.S.
Oh, no.
Wait, so
you're going to read the minutes
of what you did in high school every day to Congress?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Did you not understand what you just read
it's interesting as hell have you not been
following his website I mean I would
pay money all day
to read his own minutes
finally number nine look for my
citizen's enemy
oh
what who is his citizen
in stores today
my album drops this Tuesday.
All right.
This guy is slightly more understandable.
Oh, I would hope to God so.
He said he was more incomprehensible.
I'd be like, well, fuck, I quit.
You know, anyway, he ran for mayor of Minneapolis in 2008.
His name was John Charles Wilson.
He is an author, a minister, a politician, and a transit historian.
Wow.
Quite the role played there.
Yeah.
Boots, do you want to read this homepage here?
Hi, I'm John Charles Wilson, author, minister, politician, transit historian.
Homepage. I'm pro-union, and I select EFCA. Learn more by clicking here. Employee Free Choice Act.
Hi, my name is John Charles Wilson. I am an author, minister, politician, and transit historian.
You may have heard that somewhere. Living in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Thank you for visiting my personal website.
You're welcome, John.
Thank you for visiting my personal website.
You're welcome, John.
This is a photo of me at an anti-war protest at Lake Street in Hiawatha,
27th of October, 2007.
Say no to imperialist war, my sign says.
I am a non-traditional communist.
Dog.
Who's a good dog?
Okay.
I run on the good dog party.
I am a non-traditional communist.
I believe that Laura Ingalls Wilder is God.
Oh, wow.
You didn't see that turn coming, did you?
Oh, my God.
The next point, though.
Children should have the same rights as adults, except regarding
things where it would endanger public
safety. In other words,
no toddlers driving cars.
Oh, you fashion. They're doing child safety.
Age of consent laws
should be repealed. Oh my god.
Uh oh.
I don't like where this is going.
Cleanliness and health should be free
choices rather than social mandates.
Ah!
Don't just allow something to pass!
God damn it!
I can't tell you how many times I've been arrested
for stinky armpits.
Well, I get the feeling that you just go into
a restaurant and you get some damn chicken
McSnot or something. It's just like,
that's my right.
All people should have as much personal freedom as possible without endangering public safety.
Essentially, I am a libertarian regarding personal freedom and a communist regarding state ownership in the economy.
Oh, and I stink like a bitch.
A communal libertarian.
Yeah.
That makes perfect sense, sure.
Those two are not the same.
Yes.
Can you get some of that libertarian communal
healthcare and find where my skull pieces went?
Soon after
attaining my freedom, I had to go
underground because my parents didn't respect
my right to make my own choices
as an independent adult.
Oh, that's why he doesn't want people to have to wash.
He lives underground.
The mole man.
Oh, your odor.
Throughout most of the 1990s, I lived underground,
often homeless, moving from city to city to invade harassment by my parents
and neighbors who judged me for my beliefs.
He had to go from city to city to avoid his parents.
Where it's like tracking him down to be like,
you're an embarrassment.
Wait,
wait,
it becomes clear.
That's because they judged me for my beliefs,
hatred of cleanliness.
Hatred of cleanliness.
He stank so bad.
You could smell him in the same city.
My parents were unique in that they're the only people that
were...
Well, now I take it back
because it shouldn't be too hard to track them down then.
You just follow the fucking stink lines
or something.
I'm running on the personal filth platform.
Apparently.
After I found out my mother was dead
in 1998, I tried to settle down
and lived in Fargo,
North Dakota, and Duluth,
Minnesota,
before moving to Tucson, Arizona,
to try to start an internet
business and failing.
Oh.
Well, the internet business model was based on not bathing,
so...
Now you can not bathe from the comfort of your own home.
You were selling anti-soap Buy my stinky pamphlets
That left me homeless again for a few years
I finally resettled in Ames
Iowa
in a few months before my father died
in 2005
I then moved to Rochester, Minnesota,
then to Brooklyn Park, and then Minneapolis,
where I currently reside, and I am now following
my dream of a political and religious career.
19 years later
than I would have if it hadn't been
for the harassment.
Are you still angry at your parents?
Yeah, I'm still really mad at my parents.
Take a bath!
I was trying to make me clean myself.
She sent me another
loofah spot. Okay.
I have self-published an autobiography
titled The Conscience
of a Communist.
Oh yeah, no, it's called The Conscience of a Communist.
And ran for mayor of Minneapolis
in 2009, getting 137 votes
or 0.3% of the total.
Hey! Good for you. And it's presented like it's a success here. Yeah, actually votes or 0.3% of the total. Hey, good for you.
And it's presented like it's a success here.
Yeah, actually, it's 0.3%.
It is! I mean, that's more votes than I got.
I'm not rounding up.
I did run, but he got more votes than I did.
Did you run?
Well, that's immaterial.
Did you run?
No.
Well, that's not a valid comparison.
Run! F-plus for mayor! Well, that's not a valid comparison. Run.
F plus for mayor.
Well, we could run on a personal hygiene platform
as well. Well, you could just run on a
we'll make fun of you if you vote us in.
You read everyone else's
speeches in funny voices.
Oh, God. Oh, God.
Oh, I'm going to lower taxes.
The 12 other people just make big jokes about it.
And that new distinguished fiscal restraints me.
I'm going to complete the dang fence.
Vote for me.
I'm pro-education.
I ran for mayor in 2009.
I got 0.3% of the votes.
But that's not going to bring me down.
Because I am considering running
for governor of Minnesota in 2010.
And I will definitely run
for mayor of Minneapolis again in 2013
and governor of Minnesota in 2014.
Unless...
Unless...
There's a condition on that.
Unless I actually
win an election
and then I will stick with the office
I am elected to
I will not immediately quit mayor
and run for governor
in spite of
public demand
I gotta say
this has really cleared up a great mystery for me
I had no idea
that Charles Schultz based pig pen
upon an actual person.
I was going to say,
it could have been a mystery.
It smelled so bad.
It's a real shame that the fat boys
broke up.
Let's learn about how you became a
communist.
Portex.
Yay!
How I became a communist yes it's a politician i became a
communist in september of 1981 after reading an article in the daily world as the communist party's
usa's newspaper was called at the time about a daycare center which had lost funding due to
reagan's budget cuts and there were the where a three-year-old boy asked for a cookie that was formerly snack time before the cutback.
What happened?
The teacher told him,
the president doesn't want you to have a cookie
before he cried himself to sleep.
Wait, what?
The teacher cried himself to sleep.
Oh, wow.
Can I have a cookie?
No, the president doesn't want you to have a cookie.
A guy who looks like that is really upset about dessert.
I'm losing cookies.
Oh, boy.
Okay.
In May 1982, I saw my first vision
of Laura Ingalls Wilder, who told me that she is
God.
Oh shit.
He said that
he considered her to be God
earlier, and that wasn't like a...
That wasn't like him saying, like, I really
idolize her. It's literally she is
God.
This is news for me, too.
Yeah, Little House on the Prairie is
Laura Edelstorf's name.
Okay.
You told me she's God.
I was right to be a communist, and she would give me
a message to preach to the world.
I realize this isn't a traditional communist belief,
and instead of joining the Communist Party at USA,
I needed to start my own
political party.
So, for the first amendment of freedoms of speech and religion Party of the USA, I needed to start my own political party.
So, for the first amendment of freedoms of speech and religion,
earned me the political imprisonment
in the mental health system
from 1983 to 1987.
The tyranny of the bathtub.
This is the room
for all the secular communists.
And this is the room for all the communists
who believe that Laura Ingalls Welder is God.
It's a slightly smaller group.
Why would they do that to me? Why would they do that?
I'm not crazy. They're the ones who are crazy.
When I got out, I was harassed so much by my parents, roommates, and neighbors that I went underground
from 1990 to 2005.
With the deaths of my mother
in 1997 and my father in 2005,
I returned to the Twin Cities
in 2006 to fulfill my dreams.
I founded the
Edgar Tonight National Party
on 9 March
2009 and ran
for mayor of Minneapolis, Minnesota as its
first candidate, getting 137 votes
or 0.3% of the total.
Excellent.
Yay! Go me!
You did it! I think we need to learn more of um more of his religion uh let's go to
the minister section uh stog will you tell me about laura ingalls wilder please
minister due to visions i began seeing in may 1982 i I believe that Laura Ingalls Wilder is God.
You're so funny every time.
Yeah, it's never not funny.
It's like a fucking Mad Lib or something.
Name, we're Ingalls Wilder.
Noun, God.
I do like how he has to stipulate that it's due to the visions.
Like, most people believe that Laura Ingalls Wilder is God
just because it's sinister told. Well, that was Little due to the visions like most people believe that laura engels wilder is god well that was a little house on the prairie is a great great book
due to disputes over my first amendment rights do yeah due to to speak freely of laurism
i was a political prisoner in the mental health system from 1983 to 1987.
After getting out, I intended to resume my ministry,
but harassment drove me underground from 1990 to 2005,
and poverty kept me getting the Loras Church going as a organization.
Loras Church.
I was about to make that joke. And, um,
no, it is real. I'm not, yeah,
okay. Rad.
Rad.
I self-published a 24
page book titled
The Principles of Lauraism
in 2001 as a step
toward that goal.
We have to read that sometime.
We have to. It sometime. We have to.
It will soon be feasible for me
to formally organize the
Loris Church USA as a non-profit
organization. Really? Why is that?
Are you going to have money somehow?
I don't think you're very employable, guy.
Alright, no, I'm
sorry, I'm interested. Mr. Wilson, I'm
very interested in your church.
I want to join your church really badly. But do you have any doctrines? Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm interested. Mr. Wilson, I'm very interested in your church. I want to join your church really badly.
But do you have any doctrines?
Yeah, I do.
The primaries of
Lauraism are as follows.
Laura Ingalls Wilder
is God.
Communism is the
best form of government.
That follows logically with
Laura Ingalls Wilder being gone.
Yeah.
H-concept laws should be repealed.
That's not good.
Laura Ingalls Wilder
wants you to fuck children.
That's not a thing that should be happening.
You really read between the lines in those little house
depravities. Yeah, subtext.
Stop laughing, asshole.
And then Lemon crawled out of the butthole to laugh at Laura Ingalls Wilder.
A new nation to be called Edgerton shall be built upon the area within a 240 mile radius of Minneapolis, Minnesota as a homeland for the Loris religion.
Wow, really? Yes. Oh the Loris religion. Wow. Really?
Okay. Yes.
Oh my god. It keeps going.
In the same way that the Jews
have Israel and the Mormons
have Utah.
I'm just going to clarify.
I like that the Jews have Israel the same way
that the Mormons have Utah.
Utah was just
given, like, go there.
The Mormon Holocaust.
Holy land.
Fight off the surrounding states for it.
Has everybody gone to
his party's webpage?
I really liked the
frequently asked
dumb A-star star questions.
Ooh, all right.
All right.
So, Kumquat, you're going to answer some questions, all right?
I would love to answer some questions.
You're going to ask us some questions.
I have question number one.
Why the name Edgertonite?
Why a nation of Edgerton?
Why the name Edgertonite?
Why a nation of Edgerton?
Well, the party's founder, John Charles Wilson,
is a lifelong transit fanatic who, in his early teenage years, the early 1980s, had an extreme fascination
with a bus company called North Suburban Lines,
which ran on Rice Street in St. Paul, Minnesota.
The former name of the company, before 1975, was Rice-Edgerton Lines.
This fascination predates both John's conversion to communism
and his visions of Laura Ingalls Wilder.
Oh, so this was crazy back when it was underground.
Okay.
Yeah.
You're rude to laugh though.
And I know you were worried about this,
though.
It has been incorporated into his political and religious beliefs.
As promulgated by this party.
I like that.
I like that.
The,
the political party and the, uh,
religion are intertwined.
Um, Oh, I'm sorry. I have another
question. Does one have to believe that Laura
Ingalls Wilder is God to be an
Edgertonite National Party member?
No.
All right, I'm in.
The ENP is a political
party, not a religion. The only
requirement is basic
70% agreement with the
party's political goal. That's a D.
How do you know?
Do you have to score yourself?
It would be a D. It's on the
honor system. Joining the
Laura-ist religion is a completely separate
thing. In fact, as of 16
March 2010, half our membership
is Episcopalian Christian.
So there's two people.
Number four. Okay there's two people. Number four.
Okay, yeah, sure.
How many members does the Edgerton National Party have?
There are two members.
I thought so.
Once again, I make a joke
and it turns out that that's actually what the man wrote.
Yeah, you're the oracle.
Yeah, did I actually write this
as a goof a couple years ago
and I just forgot?
Because I'm starting to wonder here.
So we need to go back to Basil here.
Of course we do.
Why wouldn't we?
Right.
Basil Marceau is the butt sex questions.
So Bunny Bread, I have some Basil Marceau here.
You're going to have, let going to have four different things to read
with four different fonts
and colors and treatments.
You're going to have to
decide what each font means.
He's remarkably well-ordered
for a schizophrenic.
All right.
I know. A lack of support
Basil J. Marceau
For your next Tennessee Senator
Or Basil J. Marceau
For your next Tennessee Governor
2010
Right?
I like that he's running for both things simultaneously
Busy man
He can do both I mean look at him Look at this kind of multitasking he's running for both things simultaneously. He is. Busy man.
He can do both. I mean, look at him.
Look at this kind of multitasking he's doing right here.
He's typing and having spasms at the same time.
Straight up.
Let me for you say... Oh, wait. Is this a slightly different... Yes, okay.
Slightly different.
Okay.
Well, elect me for your senator, number 10.
Or elect me for your governor, 2010.
Okay.
I'll open the door for Tennessee food retailers to allow their products in more supermarket.
Make it.
Super make it.
Super make it.
Super make it.
Better super make it or super fake it.
I go to the super make it and go get a...
I go to the super make it and go get a Did you ever go to the local
grossier and see all the
products on their shelves?
Why should their shelves be closed to
small business?
If you go to other markets like
tire stores, drug stores,
super stores where they sell a lot of super,
jewelry stores, clothing stores,
etc.
Not one of these stores charges a fee to sell a product to them.
Why should food market be allowed
to?
What?
Did you say that again?
Why should food market be
allowed to?
Okay.
I think the question should not be allowed.
It makes more sense when you hear it again
I would introduce legislation
to do away with this practice
with all of Tennessee being developed
and taken over by a large company
and all the mom and pop stores
are just about gone
there's no place for Tennessee small business
involved in selling retail food
and merchandise to sell theirs goods
without putting up theirs life-saving
or to borrow lots of money.
The small business can't compete.
Yeah!
My
legislation will not allow
any extorted products in this
state. If it continue, they would
be fined.
What would you be fined
for? I don't understand what you would be fined for.
The extort ex.
You would be fined
for bringing extort products
into the state.
When you think about it, jewelry stores don't have
food stored on there that maybe you could charge
extra for whenever there's another store next to them.
So, der!
They don't have the climate made out of meat.
Right.
God, Lemon, you're such an an idiot that's a little tiny font it probably requires a little tiny voice
blow repair we need to do something with all the tires that goes to the landfill
you have to see in several states using chop-up tires in their asphalt in their asphalt
to save it up to 30%.
What's been
for Tennessee's legislators took this
in their idea?
What's been for Tennessee's legislators
look into this idea?
What was the way out to a dead end track?
Damage!
Damage!
He's just saying what we're all thinking.
Finally someone has the balls to stand up
and say whatever the fuck
that is.
Right.
Yes.
We need to make Tennessee the cleanest state
in USA.
When elected, I would continue the efforts
of today's policies
and look for best strategy through studies
and expert advice to make us
the cleanest.
That was his attempt
to speak.
That sentence makes me want to see a debate
between him and Mr. Wilson.
Fuck that, he can debate himself.
Oh my god, that would be so good.
That would be so good.
He would say the word clean.
It would just be, ah!
So bad.
It could be filthy if it chooses to.
Let's see here.
How should we finish things up?
Yeah, yeah, no. I'm just trying to think of...
A purple voice.
Yeah, I'm feeling it.
Purple means regal, so I guess you have to...
Oh, I was thinking of Grimace
from McDonald's.
He's God, dude.
Saints Row 2, maybe?
Yeah, there you go.
Who was the main character in Saints Row 2
The British guy
He sounds like Jason Statham
No a woman who was fascinated
With a double barreled rocket launcher
He sounds like a woman
Who was fascinated with
Jason Statham
Credit cards and credit card interest rate
When elected I will do everything To stop the continuing use of a fly-by-night or con.
Companies that think charging customers 25% to 30% interest
and the use of $30 late fee and $30 over-limited in their practices is okay.
I'll knock.
After calling 1,000 people asking if they ever received a credit card
from a company who says here a four hundred dollar
hello here a four hundred dollar
please call me you have to pay 250 dollars sign up fee put we will bill you on your card and you have
to pay at least 30 a month all right it's time company prey on the poor and people they will
no one pay if there are a way to stop this practice in this great state of tennessee
it will be done let me tell you 175 citizens were affected.
I called 175 people. They said
fuck off.
175 people are affected
by horrendous gibberish every
day. Someone needs to fucking
stop that.
But then what will we read?
That's true.
That's true. That's true.
Man, Saints Row 3 is sounding awesome.
I call you with a 400 dollar.
Yeah, Booth, there's one last one here.
Okay.
One last little bit. You can take that one.
Elect and support Basil Marceau
for your next Tennessee
governor.

image of a big X in a box
yeah what the hell is that
hi
hi
hi
what the fuck are you doing Hi. Hi. Hi.
What the fuck are you doing?
God bless.
Hi.
Hi.
Can our country be republic when the founders
free use in 1776?
Then
when the founder became a traitor to a republic and became a Democrat.
Then a democracy republic took charge of our timeline.
Then split in 1825 and 1866, the Congress said we were invaded by the dumb amendment party.
The Congress said we were invaded by the dumb amendment party.
Today we say a pledge to a republic.
The democachy must live on.
And we say no oath to it.
There's no question mark, but the paragraph did begin,
well, the sentence began with can.
Can you legally call that a sentence?
No, I'm pretty sure that's a can as in the noun.
Yeah, that's just like a bunch of words that happen to be...
Can our country sell it to China?
It's just words that just happen
to be close together. They don't necessarily form
a sentence or even a thought.
All right, anyone need to be educated?
Tell me more.
The dictionary says in a democracy,
all members are a democrate.
Democrate, maybe.
I don't know.
I am a Republican.
What does that make me?
A traitor.
It does not matter
who win the president spot
if a democrat win
he work off a democracy
principles and if a
republican win he work
a democracy principles
what the shit am I looking at
but a republican
must follow the principles
of a republic.
And if we did, a Democrat would never win.
What?
The real question.
What?
I don't know.
What the fuck is happening?
That made you think.
That made you think.
But the real question is coming up.
The real question is why the U.S. government does not follow the U.S. Constitution by making
sure all the states remain a republic form of government at all costs. why the US government does not follow the US constitution by making sure
all the states remain a republic
form of government at all costs
that's not a sentence though
that's not the end of the sentence because there's no period
yeah right
who dropped the ball
at all costs lots of space
who dropped the ball
the coast guard
the army dot navy that's our favorite website Lots of space. Who dropped the ball? The Coast Guard. The Army.Navy.
That's my favorite website.
The Army.Navy.
The Marine until now.
The people and all this.
Thomas Jefferson.
Fault.
He took us down the wrong road.
Where the real founders were
kiled and jailed.
Oh, they were kiled. They were kiled and jailed.
Oh, they were kiled.
They were kiled. They were kilned.
Better than being kylied.
I suppose.
Where would we be if we went down
Alexander Hamilton Road, a Republican
timeline?
Does this
come back to the future, too, when it splits
off in the alternate 1985?
Alexander Hamilton Road, it
intersects with Thomas Jefferson
Road. So you just kind of, you know, you'll get
there eventually.
Yeah, the Taco Bell, you just take a left right there
you're fine. We would all
say a pedge to a republic
and not half of us
who are democrat says a
pedge to a republic
but belong to a democracy
oh my god
what the fuck
is that
what the fuck
the last paragraph here is so good
it's so good
it ties this whole thing together
this is where it all makes sense
this is where it all makes sense.
This is where it all makes sense.
Yeah, this is like the wrap-up scene in The Usual Suspects.
Right, Kobayashi.
The last of Tlaz,
the Sedition Act,
passed on July 14th,
declared that any treasonable
activity, including the
publication of
these sections
of the page are good for just about
anything. Text, graphics, whatever
you want.
Yay!
Oh my god, Ben!
I can't wrap my brain
around what just happened here.
Non-Euclidean political
statements.
Awesome.
And there we go. Three stunning candidates all worth your vote. Hey,
Kumquatsop, what do you think you learned today?
Well, I'm not really
sure, quite honestly.
Sure, yeah.
It's hard.
Yeah.
If I could pick one thing, though, it's that think about everything that's ever happened to you.
Actually, right now, do that.
Think about everything that's ever happened to you.
Ah!
Oh!
Oh, okay.
That was fun.
Exactly.
All those little instances, well, so far, you know, they haven't really driven you totally crazy yet.
But apparently, there's a very tiny percentage chance that at any point in your life, there can be something that happens to you that just drives you completely insane.
Such as riding the bus, or taking a shower, or reading a Laura Ingalls Wilder book or getting pulled over by a police officer or.
It's true. I mean, where do you think I mean, spitball with me here.
Where do you think that comes from? Do you think there's some specific I I mean, how is me riding the bus and getting
on the bus and then getting off the bus and just
having that be a thing different than
John Charles Wilson getting on the bus
and going like, this is great!
Everything is perfect now.
Well, I don't know.
Were there kids on the bus when you were on the bus?
Sometimes.
Did you then go to form a political party
based on wanting to
Erase the age of consent
For the kids on that bus
For some reason I didn't
I don't know
I just don't have the drive
I think it's the problem
Thanks of course to our readers
