14. I admit it, damn it. I voted for Nader. And you know what: I’d do it again. You know why? Because I vote as an exercise in absurdity, not to elect any particular person.

  • Facial hair in either of the following styles:
    • Neat, trimmed, yet odd
    • Hobo
  • Crazy beliefs and combinations of incompatible beliefs in either of the following styles:

  • Wild claims
  • A high tolerance for alcohol
  • Trivial knowledge and knowledge of trivia
  • Competitiveness
  • Knowledge of stuff you can’t even comprehend
  • Wild claims of knowing stuff beyond stuff you can’t even comprehend
