    Check this out (this guy is from Kansas)

    Running for Office: It's Like A Flamewar with a Forum Troll, but with an Eventual Winner
    My name is Sean Tevis [photo] . I'm an Information Architect in Kansas running for State Representative. I’ve decided to “retire” my current State Representative. I'm going to win. This is my story (XKCD homage style) so far.

    Perks

    Donate more than $8.34 and get some nice things:

    • $60 - We'll send a really nice, big thank you card signed by all of our volunteers. It's not exotic or valuable, but it's genuine appreciation. We'd love to send you more, but we're really trying to conserve our resources and spend thriftily.
    • $120 - We'll send you a limited edition campaign t-shirt. It's well-designed, unlike most campaign stuff.
    • $250 - We'll send you a limited edition campaign t-shirt and a coffee mug with the Kansas flag on it.
    • $500 - We'll send you a limited edition campaign t-shirt, a coffee mug with the Kansas flag on it, and a DVD video from Sean Tevis' mom telling you how wonderful you are, because you are.

    That's it...I'm moving to Kansas right now!!! I'm in full support of his 'no tax on p*rn' stance and free Little Debbie snack cakes to all citizens who keep their yard neatly maintained. Politics is great!

    Actually, it looks as if one of his biggest issues is that he wants to remove Kansas' sales tax on food.

    Can't say I blame him - can you imagine what life would be like if you had to pay 5.2 percent sales tax on food?

    That's cool, but I don't think I'd like his politics. So, I'll keep my $8.34.

    That is incredible. It's amazing the power of the internet sub-universe.

    The guy reminds me of a less offensive and womanizing Tucker Max.
