I'd like to say that if Ted Nugent does run for governor in MI then I'm moving up there so I can vote for him.

I don't know if he's Governor material but I do like sweaty Teddy. Hell...he might be the best Governor material out there though. It would be entertaining.

Somehow, I think he "be run" for Governor, not actually run himself.
Granted, I've long found that "power attracts the corruptible" - and I tend to think that positions of power should be given (albeit temporarily) to people who do not want the job, rather than people actively seeking it.
Imagine, if you will, where we might be if we managed to appoint Presidents and Governors (not to mention legislators!) who were actually not interested in the job, then not interested in the job as a career (Federal term limits, anyone? Those people learn to live on thin air after a while - I'd like to see them have to work for a living instead!) and therefore wanted "minimal impact" while they were there, and weren't spending all their effort to get re-elected, or re-re-elected, or (insert number of "re-"s here)elected. Maybe give it to someone who isn't interested enough to run for the office, but who tends to think along the lines of "I'd not mind just one shot at that."
Failing that, I'd like to see someone a breed apart; perhaps with their own ideas, not political ax to grind, and no interest in the "nanny state" or the "welfare state" get into executive power. Maybe even have tradesmen and former enlisted soldiers - people used to actually working for a living - rather than the independently wealty, or the "trust funded", or whatever you care to call the current breed of cat. No, actors don't count. Gimme a Governor with calluses and scars on his hands, and maybe missing a finger or two. Someone who isn't afraid to wear facial hair on a regular basis, and who understands "productivity" because he's been doing it for fifteen or twenty years.
I'd even take musicians over actors (no offense, Ted!) because is usually takes them rather longer to make the same amount of money. Really - how often do musicians make (or merit!) $10M per album? There's actors that get that for one film - and then they make residuals on top of it! And don't even get me started on sports players - they don't produce anything that I can see, and are about as overpaid as the average corporate CEO...
Still, I could, perhaps, see Ted serving a term of office - and it would make for a refreshing change. One good point - at least you know where he stands - he's made no bones about it ofr 30 years or so...

Uncle Ted could never win in that liberal puke state.
Oh, and "Stranglehold" is still the best guitar rock song ever recorded.

I saw where he said something like...Salad, That's what food eats!
I have kind of stolen that line from him.

"I like vegetarians, they taste good"
I'm all for Ted, he thinks people should be self sufficient and have common sense. Two things that are sorely lacking in this country right now. Why take responsibility for your actions when you can sue someone and make a buck instead.

Just like Doc Nickel (www.docsmachine.com, or www.the-whiteboard.com) "Vegetables are what food eats."
Or Beefcake the Mighty (GWAR) - "Owes his physique to a strict diet of vegetarians."
I'll never understand vegetarians - that's just going against Nature. Human beings are designed to eat meat - check the teeth. They're designed to hunt - note the lens-and-camera, forward-facing eyes.
Lastly, Ron White once said, "I didn't climb to the top of the food chain to eat f***in' carrots." Besides, most vegetarians I've met are sickly and pale, and afflicted with foul breath.

I used to see Terrible Ted at the Aragon in Chicago
30+years ago for $5.00.
He rocks. Seen him at Soldier Field too.
Anybody that MAD without drugs and alcohol has my vote.

Thats funny, because last time I went into a natural food store (because my GF relatives are that type "tree huggin veggie libbs) I told her they where some of the unhealthiest peeps I'd seen. I didn't check the bad breath though!

I agree, but it'd be one hell of a campaign. I'd have to learn how to set the Tivo for Ted's commercials.

Around Easter, they hang out at the Honeybaked Ham stores (my wife likes those.) They always seem to have a cop "on detail" in attendance.
Last time, I was accosted by several and I used the "Vegetables are what food eats" line on them. Left them totally stonkered, and the cop was laughing.
I don't mind so much if someone wants to follow an unhealthy diet - but, dammit, don't force it on me as well. I find vegetarians taste good broiled or grilled...
