I Wish
A Republican being elected mayor of Cleveland? Not bloody likely. But as long as we're dreaming, why not movie director David Lynch for Cleveland mayor? He and former mayor Dennis Kucinich could team up on a taxpayer-funded $1 billion "peace center" along Lake Erie. "No, seriously, it will create thousands of jobs for Cleveland residents!" Hey, they've bought it before. Hello, Rock Hall!
UPDATE: Wow, so yesterday's primary turnout was a staggeringly embarrassing 16 percent. That's right, 16 percent. What could possibly explain such a low turnout? Well, how about the fact that no one in Cleveland gives a flaming fuck? Yes, local media, you may quote me on that. The T-shirt pictured above will be the only good thing to come out of this election cycle.
AMEN, BROTHER: Bruce F. Abens writes to some rag called the Plain Dealer:
"...both of the candidates who survived the primary have been at the helm for the last four years, and these four years have been dismal. Both lack vision. Both lack leadership abilities. And both lack any semblance of offering anything new and different for the city.
Jane Campbell can only emote over the issues and depends heavily for help on Dennis Kucinich - a congressman who cannot even get a tourist pass to the White House, let alone a presidential invitation. Frank Jackson will blame everything on racism and can count on agreement from Stephanie Tubbs Jones - the only congressperson who would get a worse reception than Kucinich at the White House.
Clevelanders have not figured out that if you always vote how you've always voted, you'll always get what you've always had."
Obviously the reason so many liberal Democrats have failed one after the other is because they weren't liberal enough or Democratic enough. Is there any other possible explanation?

What is so painfully hilarious about this is that I lusted after that t-shirt for exactly the same reasons you did. The idea of Isabella Rosellini running naked through our streets may just be exactly what this town needs!
Even the David Lynch who directed Dune knew what a budget was. Say it, Frank. BUD-jet.
