Livonia, Michigan (Orac's home town!) is having an election for city council. This is not newsworthy. What is amusing, however, is the candidacy of Glenn Moon, who is running on the issues of abortion, littering, and paying city employees a salary of $1 per year plus the love of Jesus Christ. He is remarkably passionate about killing babies, litter, and firing heathens.
I'll be really curious to see how he does in the election. He'll get some votes, guaranteed, but probably won't get elected. Probably. Don't rule him out, though. Who knows, he may be running for vice president of the US on a slate with Glenn Beck in 2012.
