Nader is a unique guy in American life, and not for the reason that everyone knows who he is, sort of, but isn't really sure why.

Some key facts:

-He is an Arab, and his parents immigrated from Lebanon.

-He is a lawyer.

-He is a protegé of Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan.

-He is a 'consumer advocate,' having been involved in issues from auto safety to promoting awareness of dangerous medical procedures/devices. Broke out into the public consciousness in the '60's with his damning look at the lack of concern US automakers had for the safety of their customers, Unsafe At Any Speed.

-He has stood for President four times, soon to be five. No doubt in my mind he cost Al Gore the election in 2000.

Some say he only knows two facts about ducks, and that they're both incorrect.
Some say his skin has the texture of a dolphin's, and that wherever you are in the world if you tune your radio to 88.4 you can actually hear his thoughts.

No, wait, thats The Stig, not Ralph Nader.
