and since I only have one reader, yes Van, I'm talking to you! Haha!
I love to read and lately ever book I've picked up has been some abominal mess that has bored me to tears. Give me some titles!
Now onto other business...
We're having a Mayoral election here soon. Our current Mayor who's done much to turn this little city around and brought much business, culture and visual improvement to us has decided not to run. Last night on a local access channel they aired a debate of sorts for those who have decided to run. All I can say is SHEESH! There were six candidates but one has dropped out. More about him later. Anywho - candidate #1's claim to fame is that he has his own local access talk show and he thinks he is the reincarnation of Johnny Carson except without the sense of humor. He has never worked in city government. In fact, I don't think he's ever worked at all at anything. #2 is a nice guy but he's about 110 years old and kept talking about how the city was better off 35 years ago. Thirty five years ago the city lost it's most important employer which sent the entire city into a decade of blight and poverty. Man #3 is someone who is so soft spoken he could barely speak when asked a question. He had some good ideas but was getting walked all over during the one hour debate. #4 is a woman who works in the Operations Dept. of the city and her answers to the qeustions were almost undecipherable. Mister #5 used to be Mayor at one time. He quit and went to take another job in another city. Then he was sued by Kenosha for something he had done in his short term and he completely lost it. He showed up at his hearing toting a gun. Besides that he looks very much like Gomez Adams. Now candidate #6 - the drop out candidate - also has his own local access show. It's called Dr. Destruction's Crimson Theatre (no shit) and he dresses in full on goth/Herman Munster make up...even in his off time. He's a musician who used to front a band called Die Monster Die. Here's the thing - he dropped out because, obviously, people were not taking him seriously but before he dropped out I got the chance to hear him speak about the city and the direction he would like to take it. He was good! I probably would have voted for him. I guess most people can't concieve of having someone in full goth/Herman Munster make up running city hall. Haha!
So, who to vote for? I have no idea. This is really going to be one of those eeny meeny miney moe choices for me and, probably, most of the citizens of Kenosha, WI.
