Stan Jones is an interesting fella.
A Libertarian, he ran for the U.S. Senate in Montana against Max Baucus in 2002.
At a televised debate in Great Falls, he showed up ... blue.
It turns out his skin had changed color due to a "treatment" he took in preparation for the millennium catastrophe.
He turned up again this year. And I am glad.
Jones, a Montana libertarian widely known for his peculiar blue-tinged skin, can arguably be said to have recast the political complexion of the U.S. Senate; he got 10,324 votes in the race, a contest that Democrat Jon Tester won by just 2,565 votes over three-term Republican incumbent Conrad Burns
The Washington Post. has a story coming on this.
You have to love Montana. I lived there for years. I miss it.
Where a guy who concocts and consumes a compound that permanently turns him blue still gets 10,000 votes.
Where is Borak? I see a sequel.
The Blue Guy.
So we owe a lot to Stan, the blue guy, a TRUE BLUE American!
