When you gotta go, you gotta go -- pee, that is.
All candidates running for office, even the super wealthy ones, look for campaign contributions. That's just a given. But usually what they want from you is money. Not so with one candidate, Art Robinson. He wants you to send him your pee. Yes, your urine. I guess he wants to piss you off.
Art Robinson is the head of Oregon’s Republican Party. Pretty big job. He's also a congressional candidate (he's run twice, lost twice). But he's taking time from his third try going to Washington to solicit people’s urine for a scientific experiment. And not just Oregonian liquid waste. He wants volunteers from anywhere in the U.S. He's not particular where his contributions come from nor how large these are. I wonder if this is all part of the Citizens United ruling prohibiting limits on campaign contributions.
Here's a look at how Rachel Maddow sees the situation:
In case you think this unorthodox candidate is a certifiable nut case, consider this: he's got followers. He's the Republicans choice in Oregon to seek a seat in the House. And how can you question this man's credentials? He's at the forefront of science. Among his discoveries is the secret information that AIDS was actually a government conspiracy. And one of his theorems is that radiation is a good thing. So good he's proposed it be put into water and sprinkled over the entire population.
And who said the GOP is anti-education? Anti-science. Global warming deniers?
So, take up Art Robinson on his quest to get you to do your share for man or womankind. Next time you have to relieve yourself, don't waste it. If it's brown, flush it down. But if it's yellow, send it to Art Robinson, currently in Oregon but ready to travel to Washington D.C., through your contributions.
