Don't let the holiday doldrums fool you . . . There are
STILL a great many people out there dedicated to getting Mayor Funky out of office and the level of animosity toward the guy make it entirely possible.
If it does go down (hehe) here's the way it might happen:
So many folks in this town are keeping their fingers crossed for Chris Koster's (allegedly upcoming Nepotism investigation ) . . . If anything even close to this comes up, it'll be the
Believe it or not (I don't care) the rumor I keep hearing is that the Council doesn't need any help to dump Mayor Funky
Co-Mayor Gloria Squitiro could always fly Mayor Funky away to safety on her broom.
A recall is rough, expensive and the Governator's rise to power in California years ago is the exception to the rule that they generally don't work. Nevertheless, there is recall talk and even word of big money players ready to throw down a few bucks to get the guy out of office.
Of course, I'm starting to think that this cowtown is more than content to limp along for 2 years with what is essentially a lame duck Mayor . . . And a growing list of candidates for the next time around.
Nope
ReplyDeleteI'm headed out to Kohl's for the post-holiday sales.
ReplyDeleteI'll be giving a full report on how deep the lines are and whether very many Champeen sweatpants are being sold.
It's the best local indicator of the overall economic viability of the US we've got.
Funk make it past spring? He'll be alive, but not mayor.
ReplyDeleteIt's cold out now... when will the acorns reappear?
ReplyDeleteIf Funkee is removed from office, what will we do?
ReplyDeleteI think I have withdrawal when something isn't written about the man for more than one day.
In his defense, let us list some of his accomplishments as mayor. It is only fair acknowledge the good. Lets start a list of the mayors successes. Who will be first?
ReplyDeleteanon 1038AM ... why don't you be the first? List anything he's done good for the City... and try to be serious.
ReplyDeleteDid anyone receive the 2008 version of the Funkhouser Family Christmas card? I wonder if the Squid learned her lesson and penned a quasi normal message this year? Or whether she and her stubborn knuckle-headed husband decided to show us just how powerful and STUPID they are by creating a message equally as bizarre (Yael T Abouhalkah called the card bizarre) as the one they blessed us with last year.
ReplyDeleteI am sure someone will get their hands on a card and post it so we will just have to wait and see :)
Maybe they will talk about the sucess of the economic confab that had 100 invitees and then us unwashed minions us taxpaying citizens who by hook or crook found out about it and got in. Another go round of "breaking up into focus groups" at tables where the ideas can be presented spontanously by guys who met last week to get our game down in each others brain. Remember that in your own neighborhood you have a little bit of power --in a meeting of neighborhoods you have a little less as you share it with your fellow neighborhoods, --in the city you have less power as you do not have any means of achieving consenus when the "100" have their own game, --in the county you will have less influence and in a REGIONAL SITUATION you will have NO one listening, so you will have NO say at all!!
ReplyDeleteMayor FUNKY has suceeded at putting a new game on the table to get our money for his use and abuse.
Lets not toss him out in the cold Wait for Spring.
ReplyDeleteThrowing these two wretched souls out in the cold to freeze to death seems like a good idea. The problem is gathering petitions in the freezing weather. This issue might let them survive until the Spring.
ReplyDeleteOMG OMFG !!!
ReplyDeleteRush is talking about Funky and the Squid right now!!
What's he saying? I'm sure he is lampooning them... he can't be amused by this wretched pair.
ReplyDeleteYes, there is some lampooning going on.
ReplyDeleteBut mostly he brings it up to illustrate how the newspapers don't cover things that really matter.
A good Christmas lesson for all of us, I think.
Yeah, The Star never mentions Funkhouser. Never.
ReplyDeleteI smell OxyContin and hydrocodone.
Get a grip Funk. Drop the lawsuit or go home.
ReplyDeleteOf course - he's too bull-headed to quit - even if he's recalled.
ReplyDeleteSportster
...someone call security!!!
Umm, I think Rush meant that all the attention the Star gives Funky IS the problem.
ReplyDeleteUmm, I think Rush meant that all the attention the Star gives Funky IS the problem.
ReplyDeleteI thought Rush was on vacation until the 5th. You aren't listening to reruns again moron?
ReplyDeleteWhich Council members will run for Mayor?
