This Slate article by Dave Weigel starts promisingly:
On Aug. 26, Democratic voters in Arizona will choose a successor to 7th Congressional District Rep. Ed Pastor. It’s a safe, blue seat, covering the most liberal parts of Phoenix and Glendale. And it’s heavily Hispanic. That’s what led a Republican trickster named Scott Fistler to pay $319 to legally change his name, to “Cesar Chavez,” and attempt to get on the ballot.
…and then proceeds to get even better. So, so much better. I was howling by paragraph six. Trolling level: CRYSTALLINE PERFECTION. That’s the best-spent $319 I’ve seen spent in a long, long time.

I’d been avoiding reading up on this, but it’s actually hilarious and worth it #az07 http://t.co/FM6YTuBNrv
