So, at some point when I wasn't paying attention, these thingees sprung up around my neighborhood.
Other neigborhoods already had signs, which I've not noticed being replaced, or they had none, and I've not seen them getting any. Since I'm from Chicago, this leads me to believe that Loring Park went heavily to the new mayor in the last election.
What?
Ok, yeah, all neighborhoods are receiving shiny new signs, in alphabetical order, and I just haven't been to any named A-K lately. Uh-huh. Because we all know politics ain't about favoritism and quid pro quo and minor little perks like signs and garbage cans.
Trying to explain proper political corruption to Minnesotans, I've noticed, is useless. Anyplace where grade school children aren't familiar with the terms "federal grand jury probe" and "subpoena" and the difference between "indicted" and "convicted" has nothing valuable to contribute to the national debate.
Which is why I avoid the local media.
Which is why I didn't know [White] America's Mayor was here a few days back.
"I don't know how I will re-emerge in public office," Giuliani said when questioned by WCCO-TV anchorman Don Shelby as part of a speech by Giuliani on Friday night in St. Paul.Asked by Shelby if he wanted to be president, Giuliani said it was almost "sacrilegious" for him to talk about running for president because he supports President Bush.
"I am a very, very strong, extremely dedicated supporter of the president," Giuliani said to rousing cheers from an audience of about 1,000 people at the Touchstone Energy Place at RiverCentre.
For the best, really. Don't need another protest-related arrest at this point.
Not that standing outside a building shouting "FUCK YOU, BITCH!" is exactly protest, but it does get the point across in a simple fashion, no?
I'd know about this stuff if I read Twin Cities Indy Media, I suppose, but my patience with hippies isn't what it once was.
Is a two-headed turtle one of the Signs? Because at this point I'm like, "Go apocalypse!"
