What is Mike Gravel up to these days? "Probably renting out a basement room in a college house near American University and recording his own podcast that nobody listens to," you say, and you are most likely correct. But there is something he is also working on: teasing anyone who listen (The Daily Caller) about running for president again. "In an e-mail exchange arranged by his daughter, TheDC asked Gravel if he was considering a run for president in 2012 and if he is specifically considering a primary challenge to President Obama." And you thought you had a worthless existence. You could be writing for The Daily Caller right now. Anyway, this proves us wrong for be so dismissive about the suggestion that Obama could face a serious primary opponent in 2012, because look, he could face the might of Mike Gravel!

The full transcript of their interview is five questions long. That may not seem like much, but it probably involves at least five e-mails to Mike Gravel's daughter after having looked her up on Facebook.

Can someone tell us how random people like this in small states end up with the title of "U.S. Senator" and their parties have to still pretend they are legitimate people forty years after they were in office? Oh, right.

Mike Gravel will run against Obama because Obama is weak morally, and he can attack him on that. Obama will eventually be forced to resign because his committee to re-elect will put listening devices in a futon, put it on the curb in front of the frat house across the street from where Gravel lives, and have someone dressed as a jogger in place to offer to help Gravel move the futon, when they watch him seeing it and looking at it lustfully.

If you need any other evidence that Mike Gravel is running for president, this is one of the most recent videos he uploaded to his YouTube account:

SHOTS FIRED, OBAMA. [Daily Caller]
