Brian Griffin

Brian H. Griffin (born February 5, 1941) is an American convict and political activist who formerly served as owner of the news channels Quahog 5 and The Radish. He has been imprisoned at USP Alcatraz in California since 1951 for severe embezzlement, money laundering, and mail fraud.

Personal life and history
Brian Griffin was born on a puppy farm in North Carolina, Dixie to unknown parents on February 5, 1941. After being adopted by the Griffin family of Peter, Lois, Stewie, Meg, and Chris, he grew up with them in the Miami area. He attended the University of Miami in 1943, graduating a year later with an associate degree in Political Science.

After completing his university education in 1944, Griffin joined the US Army and trained for months. Serving in France and Germany as a foot soldier, Griffin fought in several battles. Following the end of World War II, he was honourably discharged and subsequently returned to South Florida.

1948 Governor campaign
Griffin secured the BIUP nomination for the Dixie gubernatorial race in early 1948, and began campaigning. Following several months of negotiations, he agreed on a joint ticket with the ALP candidate Larry Booker. Under this agreement, Griffin would serve as Governor while Booker would serve as Lieutenant Governor if the campaign was successful. As a result, Booker dropped out of the race and endorsed Griffin.

The election was a tight race that necessitated intensive ad campaigns across the state. But eventually, he lost and conceded to the SDP's Lucas Darwin, who won a slim victory with 51.5%, while Griffin gathered 48.5%.

Post-campaign life
Griffin founded The Yap Express in 1949, a media corporation which founded Quahog 5 and The Radish, owning them until Pal Bacon and Colin Poopybutthole later took control of the company.

On March 18, 1951, Griffin was charged with embezzlement of public funds, money laundering, and mail fraud targeting vulnerable citizens. He was sentenced to 40 years in prison with parole after 25 years. He has been held at USP Alcatraz in San Francisco, California, Oakland since 1951.

Ideology and political views
Griffin describes himself as a libertarian conservative with center-right views on social issues and right-wing views on economic issues. He has often criticized excessive state spending and the military-industrial complex, which he views as "unnecessarily wasting precious lives for the benefit of a few wealthy corporations".
