What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?

Protip: smoking crack will do more to improve your chances at an eventual mayorship than it would to hurt them.

Also, I expect you to be the one and try and fix all of NC's recent legislative and political problems.

Believe it or not, I've yet to find a reputable crack dealer. Maybe a "leaked" photo of me smoking rock candy out of a bong would do the trick? Whatever the case, I'll be sure to mention cunnilingus during any and all interviews.

Pretty sure all I'll be doing is giving my opinion to people who actually have the authority to make the final decision. Pretty sure.

I'm not trying to get into politics or looking to change the economy...I'm just really excited about possibly getting a gavel. Plus the meetings are usually televised so the possibility of seeing me on television busting open walnuts and Brazil nuts with my gavel exists. And possibly a councilman will gavel me for gavelling nuts, and I can start a gavel battle.

Seriously guys, I want a gavel for the sole purpose of someone giving me a gavel.

I had a gavel for a year, but had to give it back when my term was up. I tried to tell my wife that anything I said followed by striking of the gavel were to be taken as facts. That didn't work out so well.

The striking of the gavel is the judicial equivalent of shut the eff up.

^There is a joke in there somewhere.

Wait a minute...I thought this was a chamber of commerce appointment. (A chamber of commerce is typically a non-profit organization that advocates on behalf of local businesses, and I would not expect its meeting to be televised.) Is this a city council appointment? (City councils are governmental agencies. Their meetings are open to the public and often televised. Moreover, the members are typically elected in a general election.)

Chamber of Commerce. Some of the events are televised on public access.

Nice. Depending on how you look at it, that position is a bit more prestigious, and the appointment will certainly be better for your career than a position on the city council.

[Ack]

Now I'm debating whether I should send Luke a copy of The Prince...

[prfsnl_gmr]

These are chamber of commerce types; so, you would probably be better off sending him the complete works of Ayn Rand...(followed a few months later by a copy of Bioshock to undo the damage... )

who the heck is "Luke?" Do you guys mean Big Pimpin?
