Well. I did not register as a Democratic candidate in my own state legislative district. I don’t think anyone else did either. I just dropped politics and did other things. But now I’m thinking, yeah, I should run. I may run as Pirate Party, because honestly I think I could get the Pastafarian vote. But I hate all that running around saying, “Arrr.” ---
