A Texas man legally changed his name to Literally Anybody Else to apply for a particularly difficult-to-get job: President of the United States.
The 35-year-old military veteran and middle school math teacher, formerly known as Dustin Ebey, said he is running for president to protest the current major-party candidates - President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump - and show his distaste for a system that his website states "often prioritizes partisan battles over real solutions."
"It's not necessarily about drawing attention to my grievances," Else told KTRK-TV, "but about giving a place for anyone who shares these grievances to come together to a focal point."
Else initially planned to campaign in Texas, but did not get the required 113,000 signatures to make it onto the ballot. So, to add another bizarre twist to the tale, is now expected to appear by name on the Tennessee ballot, where he said he did get the required amount of signatures.
There is one more bizarre twist to the story: Else has announced that Neal David Sutz, a New York man currently living in Switzerland, will be his running mate.
