Big, BIG night at City Hall … 4:30 EDA infill committee meeting; 5PM Special Charter Commission meeting, 6 PM Candidates info session, 7 PM Planning Commission meeting…

There’s no agenda/info about it on the City’s website that I can find. Anyone know what the hell this is about?

Read the details here.

Remember, it’s for your own good. 

Damn right! I want those signs, Bruce! This is exactly the sort of outside-the-box-plot thinking you want in your friendly neighborhood statistician.

I work at the Carleton Bookstore, or you could drop them off with my wife at Leota Goodney’s office above Blue Monday.

I’ll edit the signs, and then I would just need some volunteers who would somewhat-willingly post the signs on their lawns.

Anyone?

You know, we’ve been through so much together… there was that one time… remember that? That was so great! Because of our intense shared histories, and all we’ve learned from each other, I’m glad that each of you is marching lockstep behind me in my race to power.

Tracy, here’s some guidance to help unwrap a little bit of the mystery behind the man. Not too much, or it wouldn’t be a mystery.

Incidentally, I’m looking for some free bumper stickers, buttons, yard signs, t-shirts for the campaign. Anyone?

You’re running.

You’re not running.

You’re in reruns.

How can a hopeless cronyist like me ever hope to keep up with the lean, mean (not to forget smoky, sensual) outsider machine?

You won’t need to spend any money on the campaign, nor will you need to show up at any forums or debates.

Hmmmmmmmmmm, I wonder where I’ve seen that work before?

Good luck Mr. Etter, I’d be honored to serve with you (as wheather I win or lose I’ll still be on the council). I’m not offering my endorsement by no means, as I’m sure you’d not take it anyway LOL.

The primary will limit the playing field to two candidates. Until then, you can simply wait, in a smoky, sensual, and dare I say stealthy, manner.

After the vote narrows the field to two, you’ll only need enough votes to beat out two candidates rather than five!

I foresee you’ll focus on the “Jesse Ventura” voters. Perhaps you should begin growing your facial hair now, so you can have full-frontal-facial dreads by November.

You won’t need to spend any money on the campaign, nor will you need to show up at any forums or debates.

I would recommend hand-written yard signs that say “Etter is Better”, and don’t bother beginning your campaign any time prior to October 31st. In fact, a Halloween-theme might be cute.

Just as Ventura did, you could totally throw the pollsters off. Also, a wild card like you can really have an effect on the Vegas bookies–you’re going to cause an unbalanced book, which means for once the gamblers might be able to top the bookie and beat the race odds.

My first initial and last name spell “BEtter”. I thought about running with the slogan “Can’t find a Better man.” It’s a Pearl Jam song, too. The kids’ll love that.

But why limit myself to one or two slogans? I say run with as many as possible, whipping them out as circumstances warrant.

Keep the great ideas coming!

This is just so typical.  Your posting, where you attempt to divert attention from the salient issues I have been raising here for so very long, also completely ignores my candidacy for the mayor’s seat.  

As hard as that is to believe, I guess we can expect nothing less from such a self-interested, inside-the-system, entrenched cronysta like yourself.

Not me.  I’m an outsider.  An agent for change.  Smoky.  Sensual.

And you’d better believe I’m back in the race!  Rise up, my people!
