In a congressional race that is increasingly looking like a race for Lord of the Manor, the son of the presumptive Republican candidate Francis H. Powers, whose name is Francis M. Powers, is running on the Libertarian ticket.
Claiming there's no Oedipal twinge to his campaign, the Powers son, known as "Fran," is merely running against his father, known as "Frank," on policy differences alone.
Fran's hilarious - compared to his suit-toting father, he looks like a local version of wild-maned Lyle Lovett. And Papa disapproves of his son's "carefree lifestyle," and says little Fran "rejected everyone's help to live a healthy lifestyle" to work in the music industry.
When Fran was asked whether voters would be confused by Francis M. vs. Francis H., he said, "If people can't tell the difference between the Republican Party and the Libertarian Party, maybe they shouldn't be voting."
Should make for a great race.
And in other news, a teenager was the Staten Island Police Commissioner for a day.
No word on whether the lion and the lamb are lying together as well.
