In lieu of my running for Congress in November 2009 for eSouth Africa, an excerpt from my most favourite election comedy episode of Blackadder.



Vincent Hanna: Ivor Biggun, no votes at all for the Standing-At-The-Back-Dressed-Stupidly-An d-Looking-Stupid Party. Are you disappointed?

Ivor Biggun: Ah, no, not really, no... I always say, "If you can't laugh, what can you do?" Ha-ha-ha-ha (squirts Hanna with flower).

Vincent Hanna: ...take up politics, perhaps. Has your party got any policies?

Ivor Biggun: Oh yes, certainly! We're for the compulsory serving of asparagus at breakfast, free corsets for the under-fives, and the abolition of slavery.

Vincent Hanna: Now; you see, many moderate people would respect your stand on asparagus, but what about this extremist nonsense about abolishing slavery?

Ivor Biggun: Oh, we just put that in for a joke! See you next year!
