What ever HAPPENED to Ross Perot? How do we know that he isn't the dinosaur?

If your kids donate $50 mil to a museum, it seems some naming rights are acceptable.

I still have a bit of a soft spot for that crazy farkin' coot.

I cast my first vote at the age of 18 for Ross Perot. I was young and naive and while I didn't think he would win or that he would make a good president even if he did, I thought that this was a viable chance for a third party to emerge. (I did not know of Duverger's Law at the time.)

Anyway, he does some pretty cool things on occasion, such as convincing the White House to allow Frank Buckles to be buried in Arlington.

Cool story bro:

So I was in third grade before the 1996 election. I remember we had this thing where the elementary school I was in had to decide who to be President. What was I supposed to do? I was in third grade, I didn't know about politics. I looked at the ballot: Bill Clinton, Bob Dole, Ross Perot. I didn't know who these guys were except for Clinton since I knew he was the President. The names Bill and Bob were boring, but Ross sounded like an awesome name. ROSS. So I voted for him.

Later, when the voters were tallied, Bob Dole won with like 80% of the votes or something (I live in Georgia by the way). I had no idea why; I didn't know who he was and his name was boring. I asked my parents later and the answer was "because their parents told them to."

Looking back, I really don't understand the point of the exercise. To determine if little kids ask their parents who to vote because they're in elementary school and don't care?

Ya foller me?

Ha! I just ran across my "Ross Perot '92" pin while sorting my bedstand drawer.

Modguy: Ross perot is still around. His son currently owns the

I'm sorry, can I finish?

Can... I... finish..., Larry?

So when is Adm. Stockdale going to get his dinosaur? If they find one that is hard of hearing, that should be the one.

Ha! I just found my "Harry Browne" for President button. AND my "Don't Blame Me, I Voted Libertarian!" button. Why am I going HA!? That was weird.

Dorkosaurus Rex?

Can't wait to see the presentation on it this week in Vegas!

Hope it's early enough where I'll still be sober enough to remember it.

Ross Perot will be doing the commencement speech at the Navy Seal/UDT Museum Muster in a few weeks. I'll be going to see that cray old bastard that I voted for back in 1992.

/It really is a cool museum and if for some reason you are on the Treasure Coast of Florida, I highly recommend visiting it.

Wasn't the dinosaur his running mate?

Why was that necessary!? That guy is a farkin legendary American icon, there should have been no arguement.
