What’s The Perfect Birthday Gift For A Man Running For Attorney General? $39 And Britney Spears.

Facebook’s (now former) Chief Privacy Officer Chris Kelly doesn’t have to worry about frivolous privacy lawsuits any more. That’s because he’s moving on to run for Attorney General of California in the 2010 election. His Facebook campaign page is here.

Today, apparently, is Kelly’s 39th birthday. I know this because I was forwarded an email from his wife Jennifer asking recipients to donate to Kelly’s campaign.

I don’t agree with some of Kelly’s positions (he was on the wrong side of Facebook’s Holocaust denial debacle, in my opinion), but I’m contemplating endorsing him for the position pending his agreement to go on camera with us and answer some key questions we and our readers have.

Generally though Kelly is a libertarian-leaning Democrat, which is kind of Democrat I tend to like. If you want to donate to his campaign, here’s the link.

And if you’re feeling generous, you can get Chris something else for his birthday, too. Like this special edition Britney Spears “Womanizer” virtual gift on Facebook, which costs just $3.

Happy Birthday, Mr. Attorney General (I bet he loves the sound of that). And please don’t forget us when you make it big time. If you become president someday, I wanna be on the Supreme Court.
