It has become apparent to me that I need to run for President in 2020. The Republicans and Democrats have had a stranglehold on ineffective government for far too long. I think it is time to give an independent candidate a chance to not get anything done. So I am officially announcing my candidacy for President of The United States of America.

We all want a brighter future. Right? And not the exploding supernova kind. But a better America. Even better than apple pie à la mode.

If you are tired of picking the lesser of two evils and want to choose the lesser of three evils, I’m your man.

Now, if you vote for me, it is a safe bet I will mess up — a lot. I will try hard to do my best, but I will not promise easy living or free everything. [Except for me. Presidents don’t pay for anything. It’s awesome.]

And, hey, there is always the chance I could be great by accident.

No doubt, I will say random stuff during speeches. [I got a D in teleprompter class.]

Or maybe wear a huge sombrero during State Of The Union speeches.
