Dr. Jack Kevorkian, aka the infamous "Dr. Death", announced in March that he plans to run for a Congressional seat representing a suburb of Detroit, Michigan. Kevorkian, who has no party affiliation, was released from prison last year after serving eight years for assisting in the suicide of a man with Lou Gehrig's Disease.

Hence his primary agenda: prison reform.

Kevorkian's jury consultant, Ruth Holmes, told the Associated Press that the former "suicide doctor" promised that his previous career is behind him -- no doubt because if he does assist in another suicide, he'll go back to prison.

Kevorkian's secondary platform is "bringing integrity to government," reports the AP, which in itself might not seem all that surprising. But think about this: Kevorkian was in prison for eight years, coincidentally the same period during which our government's integrity has been in a constant state of decline.

Maybe he was keeping up with the daily news from the inside, or maybe he's just figured out in short order what's wrong with the status quo. Either way, Kevorkian will no doubt make Michigan's Congressional election this year one for the ages.
