Helter Skelter... uh... right...

This one is really for the non-US readers, as an example of how American politicians go insane after they lose a primary attempt. This fellow is Mike Gravel. He was a Democratic candidate for president, but he was soundly thrashed early in the primaries. He dropped out, and decided to run as a Libertarian. (For those that don’t know, Libertarian is Latin for “Xenophobic Redneck.”) This is a blatantly obvious attempt at making some sort of artificial meme, of course, but it’s still silly enough to laugh at, especially for us.
