- Michael Evan Spriggs Best thing to happen in Ponchatoula thus far. Some call him a hero, others write daily letters to the Pope wishing for him to be cantanized, but most just wish they could shake hands with this beautiful man. A campaign has already started in which his supporters hope he will be the new major of Ponchatoula. After that they plan to vote him as Governor of the great state of Louisiana. But one day, when America needs his leadership most, he will go down as the greatest president to ever take the position. Cementing him as the greatest American to ever lived.
