Pro-Life
and nuts

It really won’t become terrifically funny until it has to be used in his obituary, but an Idaho Senate candidate has taken steps to make sure his policy doesn’t go unnoticed by voters. Let it be known to all that Marvin Richardson has taken the necessary steps to legally change his name to Pro-Life Richardson.

Having been already thwarted on the ballot once in 2006, when state laws governing the use of slogans on ballots prevented his being listed as Marvin Pro-Life Richardson, the strawberry farmer formerly known as Marvin decided to find a way around it. And so he abandoned the name his loving parents gave him, leaving the state with no choice but to list the candidate as Pro-Life. It may seem extreme and perhaps a tad toward the unhinged side of the psychiatric spectrum, but Richardson’s political career isn’t much different. He has vowed to run for the highest-available state office every two years for the remainder of his life with the pledge to, if elected, charge abortion providers and the women who use their services with murder.

He’s angling to replace the outgoing Republican senator, Larry I Like Sex With Strange Men in Public Washrooms Craig.
