Gov. Lapdance?

So many candidates, so little time. At last count, 500 humans and one cyborg had taken out papers to run for governor in California's Recallapalooza (still no word on whether soon-to-be ex-Liberia President Charles Taylor will throw his hat in the ring). As a public service, we hope to profile all the serious contenders (which means we can ignore such joke candidates as Bill Simon, Gray Davis, Cruz Bustamante and Arnold Schwarzenegger). Today's candidate spotlight shines on Mary Carey, a porn star who promises to make lap dances tax-deductible.
