The organic strawberry farmer from Idaho who, somehow, legally changed his middle name to "Pro-Life" was denied a gubernatorial run in 2006 because his name was viewed as a political slogan.

However, officials from Idaho now say that since Pro-Life is a part of his real name, they cannot deny it.

He says he will run for the highest state office on the ballot every two years for the rest of his life, advocating murder charges for doctors who perform abortions and for women who obtain the procedure.

Anybody know of any pro bono lawyers who can help me change my middle name to "Repeal-NAFTA"?

I need an attorney too

Wow. I had to re-read this article, hoping that this was a joke, but now that I know that this man is serious, it is actually quite said. I wish I could say that I was surprised, but after all, it is Idaho, which has a high percentage of "killing Black babies." Either way, if this man wins an elected office, then their voters should be ashamed of themselves.

I wish I knew someone to change my name to Preston "Stop Racism" Mitchum. Wouldn't that be fun to put on my job applications?
