City Council Forum: Notes Scribbled On A Napkin
As our Fearless Leader has already reported, the McBlogger crew attended last week's Keep Austin Blue forum for city council candidates. I've finally gotten my notes back from the lab...
Jason Meeker Memorable Quote: "I don't want to be know as the Angry Guy".
Universal reaction: What an angry guy.
Ken Weiss Makes me think of the goober working the register at Whataburger who gets all the orders wrong.
Sam Osemene Possibly the only candidate this year who has actually read the Federalist Papers. Certainly the only one who finds the right to use a cell phone while driving supported therein.
Lee Leffingwell A year or two ago I was called rude for yelling "Sit down and shut up, Lee!" at another public forum. Tonight I was even ruder by letting him speak. And speak. And speak. And speak. And speak. And speak. Actually, somewhere in there I ducked out to a nearby building site and watched some paint dry for a while until I regained the will to live. Good Lord, is there no way of stopping this human narcolepsy cannon from becoming Mayor next year?
Cid Galindo Strongly supports the right to free chips and salsa; clueless about the Twelfth Cylon.
Jennifer Gale Say what will about this perennial candidate, this year she OWNS the Clean Your Liver Issue.
And finally, isn't it about time the city started licensing cover bands? I realize that the state shouldn't a priori judge original material, but how can any self-respecting Live Music Capital of the World not impose some kind of minimum standards on performing songs that everyone already knows? Whoever it was playing across the street at The Ranch... just dreadful. Too bad they didn't ape The Who and set their instruments on fire. Although in their case, it should have been how they opened their set.
