Source: CNN

BOSTON (AP) — Ralph Nader says he's set a record by giving 17 campaign speeches yesterday in Massachusetts totaling 255 minutes.

The current record, according to Guinness, is 15.

A spokesman for Nader says the idea behind the "Massachusetts Marathon" was to raise awareness that Nader is running for president as an independent. Two-thirds of the nation doesn't realize it. ...

3. WE may know it - but Nader has aged out just like McCain -ALTHOUGH
he is not doddering, senile, wimpy or lying.

4. I claim to be a 29-year-old, blond-haired, blue-eyed nuclear physicist and swimsuit model.
Oddly enough, as in Nader's case, two-thirds of the nation doesn't realize it.

5. Massachusetts? That's not a critical swing state.
Ralph, remember Florida in 2000? When you gave us Bush?

Why not go back? "McCain and Obama are exactly the same."

That has a nice ring to it.

8. Can't that man find something to do,
maybe seat belts need tweaking or perhaps safer hubcaps.
