Sarducci Watch

According to this story in the Marin Independent Journal, we may not get to vote for Father Guido...

A third candidate, Don Novello of San Anselmo, a comedian known for his portrayal of the character Father Guido Sarducci on NBC's Saturday Night Live, filed the paperwork but failed to get enough valid signatures to qualify, according to county officials. Novello, 60, said he does not consider himself out of the race yet.

"I can't tell you how disappointed I am," he said. "I paid the money, I turned in the signatures, I'm not going to consider it official yet. I'm still in it." Novello, running on a campaign against excessive spending, challenged others in the race to match him "zero for zero" by refusing special interest money and campaign contributions.

My friend, comic book dealer Barry Short, also seems to have disappeared from the latest drafts of the candidate lists. What is democracy coming to when I'll only be able to choose from 195 candidates?
