afterglide.com, the website itself, not its author, has announced he is running for governor of the state of Minnesota in 2010. Mr .com indicated he will be running with the support of the CPP. The CPP, or Coiled Penis Party, is not a political party, but a regular social gathering where all invitees are able to coil their penises at least four times around a hickory rocking chair once owned by Karl Malden. .com is not a member, saying, "I could only get it around a couple of times, but that was then -- it's penis under the coffee table. They are actually the ones who approached me about entering the race."

afterglide.com is seen as a long shot, particularly given his track record of generating controversy. In recent years, he has claimed he was an "unknown burglar" in the 1972 break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate Office complex and managed to escape before his cohorts were arrested. In December, 2008, .com sparked outrage with a expletive-filled tirade laced with racial and homophobic slurs during a curiously unedited guest appearance on Sesame Street.

When Jeremy Gibbens, a frequent contributor to afterglide.com, was reached for comment, he read a prepared statement and would not take further questions. "I do not support afterglide.com's candidacy for the office of governor of Minnesota. The withering of our business relationship in recent months has been well-documented by the media. While I will not air the details of our private grievances, I can tell you that I do not support his political ideologies, his narrow social views, or not taking his medication. I do hope one day -- perhaps very soon -- to mend our fences enough that I can write about poop on him again. Or actually poop on him. I refuse to believe the good times are gone."
