NOBODY for President! Wavy Gravy might be the coolest guy ever.

From here:

SNIP>

Who is your favorite for the 2016 Presidential Election?

Well, [in 1964] The Committee supported LBJ, and then he came in with [Secretary of Defense] Bob McNamara and killed more than anybody since Atilla the Hun. In ‘68, we ran a pig for president, Pigasus, and she was the first black and white and female candidate. In ‘72 we came back from Asia and ran a rock for president. I had this great rock I got from the base of Mount Ararat and we ran a roll for vice president. At different rallies we passed out different rolls, like cinnamon rolls, or jelly rolls, or bagels, so you could always eat the Vice President, as the roll kept changing.

Then up the spinal telegraph came the concept of “Nobody for President”

Who keeps all campaign promises? Nobody

Who should have that much power? Nobody

Who bakes apple pie better than Mom? Nobody

Nobody was president before George Washington!

Hey, let’s face it, Nobody’s perfect!

So we fully embraced Nobody [starting in ‘76]. I became Nobody’s Fool. The president has Air Force One, well our car was the Nobody One. We ran Nobody for quite some time. Until I defected for Barack [Obama] and all the anarchists got on my case, and I said, “Well Nobody made me do it” and they couldn’t argue with that.

So where I’m gonna go with in 2016 is Nobody’s guess. I haven’t heard everyone’s horseshit and we’ll see who piles it deepest. I do love Bernie [Sanders], I love Bernie, I don’t know who I’m gonna vote for, but I love Bernie. Hillary [Clinton] intrigues me, anybody but those Republicans. I’d like to vote for someone I think can win.

I swear I read that guy's obituary back in the '80s. Maybe it was another stunt.
