Why wait?

A nation turns its lonely eyes to you:
Kanye West announced that he plans to run for president in 2020 at the MTV’s Video Music Awards on Sunday night in Los Angeles.

His comments came after being presented with the award show’s highest honor by Taylor Swift, who won four of the nine awards she was nominated for at the annual ceremony, including video of the year for Bad Blood, which features Kendrick Lamar.

West accepted the Video Vanguard award with a rambling 10-minute speech where he discussed grocery stores, baseball stadiums and awards shows. After admitting that he “rolled up a little something” before coming to the show, West made his political ambitions clear.

“And yes, as you probably could’ve guessed in this moment, I’ve decided in 2020 to run for president,” West said.
Why wait, Kanye? It's not as though you're any more absurd a candidate than anyone else out there. Meanwhile, I guess Miley Cyrus bared one of her breasts on the show. Unfortunately, she can't run for president until 2032.

MTVs music video awards show: will be the main point of discussion 500yrs from now when historians discuss our decline as a people.

As long as we're slouching towards Gemorrah, I guess we might as well go for broke. The bright side of a Kanye presidency would be, I guess, that everyone would know exactly who the first lady was. And he could storm the stage at the U.N. and say that Taylor Swift should have gotten that Nobel prize or something.

And would "Brucelyn" become the physical education czar? The absurdities are endless.
