Just when the world begins to believe Anthony Weiner has ascended to very peak of Mt. Narcissism and planted a penis-shaped flag on its snowy surface, leading Julian Assange–activist Julian Assange goes and announces a bid for the Australian Senate. There’s no oxygen at Mt. Narcissism’s summit, which is why everyone’s head expands so much.

The rules of the Australian Senate are apparently like those of Australian rugby: uniquely confusing. For example, it does not initially appear that Assange’s residency within the Ecuadorian embassy in London disqualifies him for Australian office—that is, at least according to Assange. “It’s never been done before, but it is theoretically possible,” the Wikileaker-in-chief said of his bi-continental candidacy. Per an Australian political science professor: “He’s basically a nuisance candidate who may attract a bit of attention, because he’s not really about governing and sitting in Parliament. He’s not standing to do the work, he’s standing for the nuisance value.” There’s a campaign slogan in that . . .

“Assange ’13: Not really about governing.”

“Assange ’13: Basically a nuisance candidate.”

“Assange ’13: Not standing to do the work.”

Assange also “formally inaugurated a new political party bearing the name of his anti secrecy organization,” according to The New York Times. The “anti secrecy organization” is committed to ensuring that Julian Assange is not a secret. Everyone should be thinking about Julian Assange at all times. Those who are not thinking about Julian Assange are perpetuating secrecy.
