We have no idea who's behind the Carl Weathers for Mayor Web site, but the notion of Apollo Creed coming back to his hometown and kicking some much-needed butt is certainly a tempting one. Emails to the Webmaster bounced back, unfortunately, so the grassroots movement behind the star of Predator (and Alien Siege and Action Jackson) remains beclouded in political mystery.

Whoever set up the site used a proxy server to hide the ownership. It really ought to be illegal for any political group to use a proxy server. Oddly, this doesn't look like a joke. I'm assuming, though, that he wouldn't meet the residency requirements. Like the Stormy campaign, probably just more silly bullshit in a city and state that needs to be serious when it comes to politics.

He was born in New Orleans and I believe he has had a residence here all of his life, so he would be eligible to run. You only have to live here for 5 years prior to running...so who knows. I hope it's true!!!

Frolic's right no one should have any fun until all of Louisiana's political problems are solved.
