So the talk of the possibility of the Tea Partiers splitting off into their own party got me thinking of the Bull Moose Party and man, I am utterly enamored of that name. Thinking it, saying it out loud, writing it down, I don't think there's been an awesomely named political party before or since (not counting these).

^^ The problem with reviving the BMP is that there's no one as awesome as Teddy Roosevelt to have as a candidate. Can you imagine a candidate today being shot and refusing treatment to give a speech with the bullet still lodged in them?

... I'm going to regret saying this, but... Nornagest.

'Course I think he's more likely to give the speech while paramedics hover around and do their work, but I could see it happening.

Wasn't the Bull Moose Party filled with progressives? Progressive are fascist.

Jingoist progressives. They'd draw hardliners from both sides, but it has a bit of a right-wing bent.

I think the king of joke party was the first (yes, they refounded it) Rhino Party of Canada. Canada has a lot of joke parties for their worth.

But their friends across the Atlantic have what's probably the best silly party EVAR: The Official Monster Raving Loony Party.
