Please, Tell Me It's a Joke

As one of the Democrats who "still loathes him" I was horrified to read this headline first thing this morning: Nader Announces Another Presidential Bid

Here is the entire text of the news article:

WASHINGTON — Ralph Nader is launching a third-party campaign for president. The consumer advocate made the announcement Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press." He says most Americans are disenchanted with the Democratic and Republican parties, and that none of the presidential contenders are addressing ways to stem corporate crime and Pentagon waste and promote labor rights.

Nader also ran as a third-party candidate in the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections. He is still loathed by many Democrats who call him a spoiler and claim his candidacy in 2000 cost the party the election by siphoning votes away from Al Gore in a razor-thin contest in Florida.

Wiser heads than mine will soon commence analyzing this. Me, I may be moving to Costa Rica immediately.
