Oh This Is The Greatest Day Of My Life

Run Alan run!!!

After two previous runs for U.S. president, former Reagan diplomat Alan Keyes has announced he's again seeking the White House in the 2008 election, and he'll take part in Monday night's Republican presidential debate here.

Keyes told syndicated radio host Janet Parshall he's "unmoved" by the lack of moral courage shown by the other candidates, among whom he sees no standout who articulates the "key kernel of truth that must, with courage, be presented to our people."

And that kernel of truth is, "I'm Alan Keyes and I'm 31 flavors of crazy."

I actually started an aborted blog back called Draft Keyes! back when the Maryland Senate seat came open in 2006. The premise was that he got 15% of the vote in Illinois, and he ACTUALLY LIVES in Maryland, so he'd probably do twice as well!

Alan Keyes is the snarky blogger's best friend. He's like the Jeff Gannon of the blogosphere; you can always go to him when you're looking for a lifeline. When his profile waned over the last few years, that lifeline had waned.

Thank you, Alan, on behalf of all people who love to laugh, thank you.
