I think it would make perfect sense to implement a Jekyll-Hyde Audit on people seeking to be elected. The J-H audit would be a verified, vetted document listing the candidates' preferred choices regarding in alcohol, drugs (street/pharmaceutical), sexual preferences (including kinks) and outward manifestations of power (reckless driving, ostentatious use of money [ie fur-lined sink, solid gold toilet seat], trophy hunting et al) so no one is really dismayed or horrified when the shit is suddenly made public. This audit would also include a manifest of problematic family members (spouses, siblings, children) capable of doing similarly heinous things to besmirch or denigrate said candidates. Plus it would be really amazing reading while waiting for delayed planes or friends/family members to finish medical procedures that prohibits them from driving themselves home. As the assorted political lives continue, their vices and the audits will need to be updated. ie, "March 15, 2030: Discovered the joy of having jalapeno bean dip troweled into campaign staffers' butt-cracks.' Would those disclosures make us feel more informed or more jaded? I do not know....
Eugene, sounds like your friend fully embraced his true self! Any idea if your book will end up as an ebook at some point? Old eyes and a nomadic travel schedule makes hauling around dead trees kinda annoying for me.
