Me, I'm all for the owner of Wet Wizards for Mayor. He's a good guy, has some good ideas, and knows how to get it done. Or at least, he thinks he does.

Doing my research now while the baby sleeps in my lap (it's like having a cat sleep on you - the rule is, you're not allowed to move).

I generally agree with you, but I'd amend point 5 to "Being a realtor or a fucking debt collector." The guy who says that his extensive experience as a professional asshole qualifies him for a position on the council makes me laugh.

If he wrote something like "I'm an ethical debt collector and this is what this means...." Then maybe. But no. No.
