UPDATE: Pistol-packin', para-glidin', high-tech has-been Dell Schanze has changed plans. He will run as a Libertarian against Gov. Jon Huntsman, NOT as a Republican against Salt Lake County Mayor Peter Corroon as he previously threatened.

Whatever he runs for, Schanze, who owned totally defunct Totally Awesome Computers, won't lack for name recognition.

For those who have just moved to Utah or recently had electro-shock treatment, this is the totally awesome primate whose most infamous run-in with the courts involved being surrounded by an angry mob for hot-rodding through their neighborhood. Schanze, known for his love for assault rifles, then pulled a handgun. (At that point, even guns rights folks disowned him.)

A year later, Schanze was in court for flying his power paraglider over I-15. Super Dell pleaded no contest to being public nuisance (He must have finally watched one of his own TV spots). His business went belly up amid reports that Schanze discriminated against non-Mormon employees.

Schanze, with his credentials as a certified public nuisance and self-righteous gun freak, ought to be running for the Legislature.
