Sorry, everyone. Rapper, activist, and CNN personality Killer Mike can't run for office to be a state representative from Georgia. After posting on Instagram at the last minute yesterday (the special election is today) that he wanted to people to write him in as a candidate, he found out he'd have to officially enter the race as a write-in, rather than, um, just being written in. (Read his full explanation and renewed commitment to eventually running for office over at Noisey.)

I can't run 😞 BUT 😀 For the folks that were willing to Write in #MichaelRender Thank U so Much. I am gonna run one day and WE WILL WIN. However in Ga I wud have to officially enter as a "write in" vs being an Actual Write in (those are the breaks) but, I really felt it important to draw attention to this race. We have BIG Problems in education, schools and prison reform in Ga and I I wanna see change. I wanna see Yall active in Local politics. The fact that ya'll are willing to support me shows change is possible and while I run around rapping with @thereallyrealelp doing #RunTheJewels for the next few yrs I want ya'll to get & stay active and Run for office! We need more New and fresh ideas & people! Now Tomorrow yall choose between two sisters, a Junior & a white indie (really republican and I'm cool with that too if he does the job so give him a look) I suggest yall Google them read up tonight and GO VOTE tomorrow! I will Run In the Future and We Will Win! Love and Respect Michael Render #Vote #District55 #TomorrowInGeorgia #DontWriteMeInYet #IwannaKeepRapping #MyWifeStillLikesStripClubs #MyOGwantMeToRunDoe #GetAvtive #ChangePolitics #ISeeICanRunAndIWillOneDay #ThankYall make sure yall watch me on #TheNightlyShow with Larry Wilmore at 11:30 est. 🇺🇸 #GoVote

A video posted by Killer Mike (@killermikegto) on


As seemingly spur of the moment as this appeared, it's a good idea, with a lot of history -- Mike has been a community organizer and an activist for a long time, and it's not as if entertainers don't have a long history of successfully becomingpoliticians (and some of them are actually pretty good). (Mike has something to say about that in the video below.)



On another, grosser hand, human windbag and possibly extremely fragile human being Donald Trump has finally decided to run for president after years of threatening the country with his presence.

Why is this happening? Does he need to sell more items of clothing from his Macy's collection? Did Celebrity Apprentice finally get canceled, leaving him with no way to explain his  fill his hours and thereby confronting him with the meaninglessness of his own existence, and the fact that when he dies he will be universally mocked? As far as distractions from mortality and the shitstain of your own legacy go, running for president in a pretty good one, I guess.
