How serious is my bid for President?

By Joel Thurtell

The question has been raised whether I’m truly serious about running for President, given that my name is not on the ballot of a single state.

To political strategists, this may seem like a huge liability.

It would probably become an even greater concern to these people if they knew that I’m making absolutely no effort to have my name added to any ballots.

Not one.

Why should this signal that I’m not serious?

I just don’t have time for all that bureaucratic folderol of collecting signatures and filing papers.

I’ve got my hands full selling my books, thank you.

I figure if my fellow candidate Newt Gingrich can subordinate campaign organization to selling and signing books, why can’t I?

I’m just as serious as Newt.

More so, in that I’m not wasting any time or money on organizing my campaign.

Unlike Newt, with me, running for President is ALL about selling books.

Oh yes, my books can be ordered from amazon. Here are my titles:

Up the Rouge! Paddling Detroit’s Hidden River

Plug Nickel

Seydou’s Christmas Tree

Shoestring Reporter: How I Got To Be A Big City Reporter Without Going to J School, and How You Can Do It Too!

Cross Purposes, Or, If Newspapers had Covered the Crucifixion

Okay, back to the original question: How serious a candidate am I?

Damned serious!

Please buy my books!
