A Black And White Framed Portrait

by Staff Writer

Since many a politician has claimed through the years, “I was framed!� I’ve decided the first gift for the winner of the Great Statecraft Informer American Third Party Mascot Hunt, will be a professional (I’ll be providing the professionalism ☺), framed black & white portrait of the person of their choice.

I’ve chosen black & white because color is too gory, politics is usually fought before a gray backdrop, and I’m way better at black & white than color ;-P.

You know my suggestion, err, umm, my wife’s suggestion: The Meerkat.

The world is open to you, even the world of your imagination. If you can’t find an appropriate “candidate� in what we’re told is reality, by all means or in any event, please feel free to invent one. Extra points will be awarded for providing a mascot name, and for that matter, a name for the party itself.

Contestants will be judged on a sliding scale, using a slippery High C and vodka, and the new Third Party dartboard. Failing a direct hit, the judges (myself, and my limited partners, Sam, Buster and Rusty, all neutered and fully limited) may have to fall back on merit.

Either way, the winning entry will receive an array of fabulous prizes (don’t forget the frame!), and the knowledge that they contributed to the restructuring of American political discourse for years to come.

The contest is open now to everyone of any age anywhere.

As long as you are at least 18 and registered to vote in the U.S. Or know someone who is.

As soon as I receive the first official entry, I’ll get to work filling out the prize array ;-)
