Dan Greaney kicks off his presidential campaign in L.A

Dan Greaney, the Simpsons writer behind 'Moe's Tavern' and 'Homer's barflies,' is going full Moe on American democracy — he's running for president. Last night, he kicked off his campaign at a rally in L.A., where supporters held signs reading 'One beer, one vote' and 'Homer's choice is the people's choice.' Greaney, who's been mocking politics for decades, delivered a 20-minute speech that was part Simpsons-style humor, part real fury at 'the demolition of our democracy.' Why this matters for us: It's a new kind of candidate — a writer for the people, not a political insider.
