Candidacy - Utah Phillips and Ani Difranco - Red White and Blue
The Sloth and Indolence Political Party - Vote Utah Phillips!
Script :
Mark Twain said, "Those of you who are inclined to worry have the widest selection in history"... Why complain, try to do something about it... You know, it's going on nine months now since I decided that I was going to declare that I am a candidate for the presidency of the United States... Oh yes, I'm going to run...
Shopped around for a party... Well, I looked at the Republicans... Decided that talking to a conservative is like talking to your refrigerator... You know, the light goes on, the light goes off; it's not going to do anything that isn't built into it... And I'm not going to talk to a conservative anymore than I talk to my damn refrigerator... Working for the Democratic Party now that's kind of like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic...
So I created my own party... It's called the Sloth and Indolence Party... And I'm running as an anarchist candidate in the best sense of that word... I've studied the presidency carefully... I have seen that our best presidents were the do-nothing presidents... Millard Fillmore, Warren G. Harding... When you have a president who does things, we are all in serious trouble... If he does anything at all, if he gets up at night to go the bathroom, somehow, mystically, trouble will ensue... I guarantee, that if I am elected, I will take over the White House, hang out, shoot pool, scratch my ass, and not do a damn thing... Which is to say, if you want something done, don't come to me to do it for you; you got to get together and figure out how to do it yourselves... Is that a deal?
