quote:

Lee famously quipped that marijuana sprinkled on his pancakes immunized him from Boston bus fumes as he jogged to Fenway Park during his nine years with the club.

He argues for legalization and taxation of pot in Vermont, along with single-payer health care, paid family leave and bringing the Expos back to Montreal.

In 1988 he ran for president under the Canadian Rhinoceros Party which touted positions like bulldozing the Rocky Mountains so that Alberta could receive a few extra minutes of daylight and a ban on deadly guns and butter.

Now, he'll run under Liberty Union's banner, a small party best-known for launching Sen. Bernie Sander's political career and Peter Diamondstone's perennial candidacy.

His son played baseball at Delta State in Cleveland, Mississippi. Little known fact.

"I'm a pragmatic, conservative, forward thinker," said Lee, Liberty Union candidate for governor.


quote:

"You get what you pay for, if you want change, you vote for Sanders or me. I'm Bernie-heavy, I'm not Bernie-lite. My ideas were before Bernie," said Lee. "If you want to see money come down from the 2 percent, we're going to need umbrellas when I'm elected, because it's going to be raining dollars," he said.


Does not compute
