We would have been perfectly happy to report this as Humpday Humor, but unfortunately, and only in America, can a disgraced former Congressman, the very appropriately named Anothony Weiner, announce his candidacy for NYC Mayor [2] via YouTube in all too serious news.
What is perhaps most disturbing [2]is that, "a Quinnipiac University poll also released on Wednesday found Weiner in second place with 15 percent of the vote, trailing City Council Speaker Christine Quinn by ten points. The poll also found that nearly half of city voters say Weiner should not enter the race for mayor, while 38 percent of voters want to see him run." That is a 38% of the population that wants nothing more than bread and ever more circues, and if possible, to let it all burn all around them.
