Scurry to Alameda '06

One Alameda, California mayoral candidate doesn't mind being called a clown. That's because he is one.

Kenneth Kahn, also known as "Kenny the Clown," is running for mayor of Alameda. He's never run for office before, but thinks he might be up for the job. His sister, Barbara, said she is not going to vote for him. Send in the clowns.

This is most certainly a case of life imitating art.
