Kinky ran for governor here in 2006. Mostly he did what all third-party candidates do in the United States: Divide the electorate and allow the candidate most of the voters didn't want to get (in this case re-)elected.

Among the home remedies for hives is taking cayenne pepper capsules, making a paste of oatmeal & corn starch, adding grapefruit seed extract to water and spraying it on the hives, rubbing baby oil on them, and taking a cold shower.
I hope that helps you cleome.

Counselor, that seems like an awful lot of work. De-registering with the Big Two was much, much easier.
Besides, showers are bourgeois.

Kodos: It's true, we are aliens. But what are you going to do about it? It's a two-party system; you have to vote for one of us. [murmurs] Man1: He's right, this is a two-party system. Man2: Well, I believe I'll vote for a third-party candidate. Kang: Go ahead, throw your vote away. [Kang and Kodos laugh out loud]
...
Homer: Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.

Kang was also the name of a Klingon on the original Star Trek, played by Michael Ansara. At the time Ansara was married to Barbara Eden of I Dream of Jeannie fame.

According to the United States Department of Labor, there are, licensed in the United States, 281,740 Physicians
From the US Department of Health and Human Services:
Upwards of 98,000 people die in U.S. hospitals each year as the result of medical errors.
Also according to the Department of Justice:
There are approximately 44 million gun owners in the United States. This means that 25 percent of all adults, and 40 percent of American households, own at least one firearm. These owners possess 192 million firearms, of which 65 million are handguns.
Killed by firearms each year 30,694. About half are suicides.
I'm not a big gun proponent, I just find this interesting.
