Another DUMB@$$ AWARD wiener

What’s In A Name?

DUMB@$$ AWARD wiener #444: Pro-Life Richardson

“It seems like only a nut would do something like that, but I’m not a nutty kind of person at all,” Pro-Life told CBS 2 News. Meet Pro-Life, yes that’s his name, formerly known as Marvin Richardson.

Yes, you read that correctly. Our latest DUMB@$$ is so convinced of his own moral correctness that he’s actually legally changed his name to reflect his stance on abortion. I suppose we should all be grateful that he didn’t change his name to reflect his position on stem cell research or North Korea.

Of course, now this loon has dropped all pretense and simply goes by “Pro-Life”. Yes, he no longer has an identity as an individual. He’s now a cause. This is the sort of thing that makes me just want to retire the DUMB@$$ AWARD right here and now…because I’m not at all certain that this is an act that can (or should be) followed.

What’s truly tragic about Mr. Intellectually Challenged…er, Pro-Life is what he’s done to his son:

When Pro-Life changed his middle name two years ago he also gave his 10-year-old son Grant the same middle name, so it’s Grant Pro-Life Richardson.

Right; and if you’re keeping score at home, the man’s a complete DUMB@$$. Jeebus, what a mental flatliner…and will someone PLEASE call Child Protective Services?

Meet Pro-Life, yes that’s his name, formerly known as Marvin Richardson.

“My wife, she’s not into calling me Pro-Life yet,” he said.

Gee, now there’s a shock, eh? At least there’s one of member of this family with something resembling a grip on reality.

In 2004 Richardson legally changed his middle name to Pro-Life and he filed for the governor’s race as Marvin Pro-Life Richardson. But that’s when he got a letter from the Secretary of State’s Office saying no.

“They said I couldn’t put Pro-Life on the ballot because that was bringing an issue to the ballot,” said Pro-Life.

He didn’t stop there. On Monday afternoon, with a judges signature, he legally dropped both his first and last name. Now he just goes by Pro-Life.

And this is where Pro-Life really goes haywire….

“My name being Pro-Life on the ballot will save a number of babies by the time I die,” he explained for wanting to change his name.

Uh…and exactly how is that going to happen?

Of course, there is one possibility here. Perhaps people will be so convulsed in laughter at this maroon that they won’t be able to have sex…therefore creating fewer babies. It’s not exactly the argument that Pro-Life would make, but at least fewer abortions would be taking place.

Now his wife of 24 years is still trying to figure out what name to take after her husband changed their surname. “It could be Kirsten Faith Pro-Life.I don’t want to leave out Faith, so I’m thinking about using it as a last name,” Kirsten Faith Richardson told CBS 2 News.

Right…and say hello to MRS. DUMB@$$….
