Well, It’s official. Jack Kevorkian, Dr. Death, is on the ballot in Michigan in his run for the U.S. Congress.
[Det. news] Jack Kevorkian — nicknamed “Dr. Death” for the high-profile assisted suicides he performed — gathered enough valid signatures to be on the November ballot and try to unseat veteran Rep. Joe Knollenberg, the chief of elections for Oakland County said Monday.
“He has enough qualifying petition signatures,” said Joe Rozell, director of elections for Oakland County. “They are valid.”
Now we realize that Dr. Death’s campaign is an uphill battle. Therefore, we once again make our offer to the Kevorkian Kampaign to provide, free of charge, all his campaign’s promotional material. Here is a sampling.

Utterly awesome.
Rejected slogans:
Jack’s got your back!
Death never looked so good!
The buck really stops here!
Out on parole and in for the payroll!
Never had a customer complain!
Control your World. (Old Black Flag slogan)

“Never had a customer complain!”
Man, I wish I thought of that one!

Being a Michigander, I have to hang my head with shame over this. Couple this with his lawyer Geoffrey Fieger having made an unsuccessful run for governor years ago, and we are the home of the Deatheater Duo.
If ever the Culture of Death needed a doctor, they’ve got a willing (non-licensed, btw) guy right here.
And here’s a couple more also-rans:
“I’ll take your breath away!”
“C’mon, voting for me won’t kill ya! Not voting for me might, though.”
“You won’t feel a thing!”

This was my take on things:

I guess we need SOMEONE to put Michigan out of its misery, don’t we?

One more thought on this: Do you think he might launch his campaign from Hell?.
