George Who For Veep
The remarkable spectacle of Tom Who being reduced to running for Vice Presidency on the remarkable assertion that he was not insane was prefigured with prophetic accuracy by, of all people, the Firesign Theatre. These strange men made their spontaneous anterior vision on March 30, 1972 at the Martian Space Party, a benefit for Pacifica's listener supported radio station, KPFK, in Los Angeles.
George Who For Veep
The remarkable spectacle of Tom Who being reduced to running for Vice Presidency on the remarkable assertion that he was not insane was prefigured with prophetic accuracy by, of all people, the Firesign Theatre. These strange men made their spontaneous anterior vision on March 30, 1972 at the Martian Space Party, a benefit for Pacifica's listener supported radio station, KPFK, in Los Angeles. At that time George Pappoon of the Nat'l Surrealist Light People's Party declared himself candidate for Resident of the United States (“If elected, I promise to stay ”) and announced his campaign motto:
PAPOON FOR PRESIDENT - NOT INSANE
His platform? “Six inches off the ground, so no one will get hurt if they fall off."
Papoon is against bussing. “Particularly high-speed bussing.'' He says, It's better to be in the back of a bus than in front of a bus. "
His position on legalization of marijuana is, “let's smoke some, then we'll talk about the law."
