That's it for now folks; but we will inquire of our gentle readers: Is there anyone in particular whom any of you would like to see throw their hat into the ring? Professor Schroeder perhaps [grin]? Howbout WCF "leading lights" Bob Becker, Blackrulon, Danny or Smaatguy?

Thank you for throwing my blue helmet into the ring. Unfortunately, my campaign to become the Dear Leader of the Greater North American Co-Prosperity Sphere leaves no time for municipal campaigning. ( Do you have any idea how much time it takes to locate places near LaVerkin where black helicopters can land sight-unseen carrying UN-speaking troops? And posting those bar codes on the back of stop signs all over the state saying where gun-owning Christians live so they can be swiftly dis-armed takes an unreal amount of time every day.)
"Dear Leader of the Greater North American Co-Prosperity Sphere"? Great turn of a phrase. Ya better believe "I'm" gonna write that one down so's I don't forget it.
I am beginning to have serious doubts about your judgement if you seriously believe that i should be trusted with any authority or responsibility. Besides I hated going to meetings or working nights.
That's the problem with "public service" today. It's all meetings - all suitably gamed by bureaucrats.
Sit there and listen to dullness and inanity until you don't even care if life goes on (takes about 10 minutes).
So the first qualification is you have to love meetings, and be dumb, but I repeat myself.
Disqualifies me on at least one count.
Most of the work of the city council goes on before the meetings convene. And such meetings as are held are public, so that Council actions are visible and on the record. Hard put to think of a better way to do things.
Lol...My mantra would be "well, this us bullish..". I'd get impeached on day one.
