Oh yeah... that's right. New York City's Naked Cowboy (Robert Burck) is running as a write-in candidate against Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

Burck said "I know how to do more with less ... You're not going tobe seeing me buying a whole new suit because I'm running for mayor. Not on the city's dime ... Being naked is a whole lot more than having no clothes on. It's about transparency in politics, it's about telling the naked truth."

Wednesday Burck listed off some of the things he would do as mayor... energy efficiency (apparently the guy doesn't use AC), taxi call buttons on street corners (which would actually be pretty awesome), and $10,000 loans to 1,000 small businesses at no interest (umm... wonder how that'd work). He also wants to build a Times Square chapel, where both straight and gay couples could mary in a "billion-dollar wedding business that will rival Las Vegas." Burck does have a degree in political science from the University of Cincinnati, so I suppose that could come in handy.

So, where is he getting funding for his campaign? Aside from the fact that he makes quite a bit of cash standing on the street in his cowboy boots, hat, and undies playing the guitar, Burck said "I have no expenses. I own 40 pairs of underwear, a car and a suitcase."

Well, good luck to you dude.
