Chip pointed out the Amazon Presidential contributions page to me this morning. So far, our favorite is Sgt. Al Hamburg. Darkhorse 2000 has a great round up of his, uh, "ideas":

He blasts the importation of illegal drugs and would sterilize all dopers (as well as illegal immigrants.) The problem with this rhetoric is that he doesn't define his terms, so that it's unclear if he is referring to heroin users, crack cocaine addicts or marijuana smokers and proposes to ship everyone in the doper category across the border into Mexico. This seems like an untenable proposition at best and impossible to implement given the vagueness of his definitions. Whatever one's personal position about the drug problem, it is hard to view Hamburg as having a workable solution as opposed to a personal vendetta. Dark Horse 2000 predicts that his 13th political campaign will have much the same result as his first 12.

As Chip said, that's a "ballsy prediction."
