Today is the birthday of American comedian and satirist, Pat Paulson, who was born on July 6, 1927, in South Bend, Washington. He is primarily known or his roles on several of the Smothers Brothers television shows, and for his satirical campaigns for President of the United States between 1968 and 1996.
He only recorded three albums, Live At The Icehouse, Unzipped and this one. Somehow, this one seemed to be the most appropriate at this moment in our history.

Paulson attended San Francisco City College and met the Smothers Brothers during an appearance in San Francisco. He made a guest appearance on The Monkees in the 1968 episode Monkees Watch Their Feet, playing the Secretary of National Defense. In 1968, he appeared as timid Federal Agent Bosley Cranston in The Night of the Camera in Season 4 of The Wild Wild West which starred Robert Conrad.
Pat Paulson as the Jolly Green Giant
on The Smothers Brothers Show c. 1967
After CBS sold five minutes of airtime on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour
for a political ad, the show's writers came up with a bit in which
Paulsen disclaimed association with the ad and stating that the ad was
unfair to him as a candidate. CBS refused to air the bit, but the
incident became the impetus for the Smothers Brothers writers launching a Pat Paulsen presidential campaign.
His campaign in 1968 and succeeding years was grounded in comedy,
although not without serious commentary. He ran the supposed campaigns
using obvious lies, double talk and tongue-in-cheek attacks on the major
candidates, and he responded to all criticism with his catchphrase,
"Picky, picky, picky". There're videos of him on the The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour that is incredibly right on target for almost every single issue we face today (link below).
Paulsen's name appeared on the ballot in New Hampshire for the Democratic primary several times. In 1996, he received 921 votes (one percent) to finish second to President Bill Clinton (76,754 votes); this was ahead of real politicians such as Buffalo mayor James D. Griffin. In 1992, he came in second to George Bush in the North Dakota Republican primary. In the 1992 Republican Party primaries, he received 10,984 votes total.
Shortly after Clint Eastwood was elected mayor of Carmel, California in 1986, the LA Times reported that Paulsen proclaimed himself "mayor" of Asti, the small town near his vineyard. The office was of his own invention.
In 1995, Paulsen was diagnosed with colon cancer, and doctors discovered
that the cancer had spread to his brain and lymph nodes in 1997. He sought alternative medicine treatment for his cancer in Tijuana, Mexico, and died there from complications of pneumonia and kidney failure on April 25, 1997.
