NY: Hilarious Interview with Green Party Gubernatorial Candidate Howie Hawkins

The Buffalo Beast, which bills itself as "the world's only website," has published a rather funny interview with NY Green Party gubernatorial candidate Howie Hawkins.  Among other things, the Beast asks:
You don’t get a lot of press compared to Cuomo and Paladino. Why is that, and have you ever considered threatening a reporter or forwarding equine pornography emails to get more of the spotlight? . . .

Your candidacy has been endorsed by the Socialist Party of New York. Why do you hate the American way of life and small, mom-and-pop conglomerates like Bechtel Corp.? . . .

If my grasp of history is correct, the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution was put in place to protect corporate citizens from the loss of life, liberty and property. If elected governor, you will try to end corporate personhood. Why do you want to reinstate slavery in New York?. . .

And finally, why should I waste my vote on the Green Party? . . .
Read the whole thing.
