Walter Maddock!

But it can't all be fun and zebras. It's time to get stochastic!

Yes folks, today we're going to be talking about Walter Maddock (thank you, random article button). Who was that? Why, he was the fifteenth governor of North Dakota, 1928 to 1929. He became Governor after his predecessor Arthur G. Sorlie died in office. He served out the remainder of Sorlie's term and stood for re-election at the end of 1928, but for some reason decided "Fuck it" and switched from Republican to Democratic. He was also the first Governor of North Dakota to be born in North Dakota (the state didn't actually exist until 1889). 

And if that's not enough to convince you that this guy is awesome, check out his hair:
