"E. Pluribus Wiggum" is the tenth episode of The Simpsons' nineteenth season. It aired on January 6, 2008.

Plot

Homer, Lenny, and Carl pray that Mr. Burns would leave work, as that would mean they would be allowed to leave. When Mr. Burns does leave, Homer is late for dinner which prompts Marge to call him and remind him to hurry home because he is starting his diet. Homer decides that since he is going on a diet, he can binge in Springfield's Fast-Food Boulevard. After eating all he could eat, Homer decides to throw all his trash into a Sideshow Mel-themed garbage can, and empties his car of all fast food garbage as well as a leaky battery. The acid from the battery burns through the garbage can down to the fast-food gas pipes. Homer celebrates his last moments with lighting a cigar, throwing the match into the garbage. When the match hits the fast-food gas pipes, the connecting-explosion destroys Fast-Food Boulevard entirely.

At a town hall meeting, the enraged residents of Springfield demand Fast-Food Boulevard to be rebuilt immediately. In order to rebuild them, Mayor Quimby moves up election day to the upcoming weekend, making Springfield's Presidential Primary the first in the nation. However, the candidates in the election are not compelling. When voting day arrives all the citizens of Springfield write in "Ralph Wiggum," who wins the election. As a result, both candidates embrace Ralph, even though it is not known which party he is running for. Lisa confronts Ralph amongst the media frenzy, attempting to convince Ralph not to run. In the end, Ralph is actually proven to be a formidable candidate, and both the Republicans and Democrats support Ralph for president.
