Pro-Life-Richardson.gifMeet Pro-Life Richardson. He's running for governor in Idaho, and, yes, that's his real name. Well, kind of.

He used to be mild-mannered Marvin Richardson. Then, in a vision, Pat Robertson told him to embarrass and bring ridicule upon his family, so he changed his middle name to Pro-Life and filed to run for governor. After Satan incarnate, the Secretary of State, told Richardson that he couldn't use Pro-Life on the ballot, he did what any conservative would do: turn to the activist judiciary.

On Monday, with a judge's approval, Richardson dropped his first and last names, officially giving him a one word moniker: Pro-Life. Kind of like Cher, only no assless chaps.

His explanation for all of this? I quote, "My name being Pro-Life on the ballot will save a number of babies by the time I die." That, of course, doesn't explain why he forced his 10-year old son into taking "Pro-Life" as a middle name. I'm sure Grant Pro-Life Richardson will appreciate his dad's stance on abortion as he's getting his ass kicked throughout middle school.

His new name won't appear on this year's ballot, but Pro-Life intends to run for office every two years until he dies. The unborn everywhere rejoice.

Having visions of Pat Robertson should get you into a mental institution not the Idaho Guv's mansion.

Sounds like a certain local homeless guy, you know, if he had money...and cared about babies.
