Queen Kathy - again?? JUST SAY NO!!!!

[Conan71]

And you as well. She's really good huh?

I'd come up with a glib one-liner come-back for that but it's time for the hot tub.

[Ed W]

You'll have to excuse me for this bit of suburban boondocks ignorance, but when is the vote for Tulsa's mayor? I've been itching to say that people get the kind of government they deserve, so when this vote is concluded will you consider swapping your mayor for one or two councilors out here in Owasso? I'd gladly take any of the three in exchange for the black-helicopters-and-tin-foil-hats councilors we have now.

Primary Election - June 11, 2013
Runoff Primary Election (if necessary) August 13, 2013
General Election - Tuesday, November 12, 2013

I know of at least ONE candidate I'd gladly give up to you...

What makes you assume she is a she? Man you just won't stop jumping to conclusions.


Prediction:
Bill and Dewey will split the republican vote at the primary. KT will be the mayor in a primary win.

Very likely if your dad is still living. Mine is not. But he was a tough guy who everyone seemed to like.

I just re-read the last five pages and have to say I don't see any facts you've provided. Some allegations, lots of anger and plenty of feelings. Politics can do that.

Well, not to belabor the point, but the sale of National/Alamo while profitable is a fact. The resulting loss of more than 110 Tulsa jobs is a fact. The firing of the new parks dept. head is a fact.

Maybe you can really help me out here:

"How about KT's refusal to attend CC meetings and make required presentations because they DARED question her?"

"The City Council meetings you refer to were subcommittee meetings orchestrated to try and attack the Mayor."

The first quote is irritating because it's not fact-based. The second does not seem to be. I don't get it.

Enough, now, about my thoughts, opinions and feelings re KT. They are obviously not shared and my worst fear - that she'll be elected - is probably well based. We'll all just have to watch and see what happens after that.

No, my dad's not living - for many years now. It was just a figure of speech.

[RecycleMichael]

I take back my apology.

The previous City Council demanded she appear before them at meetings on Tuesdays. These were informational meetings. You say "she refused" to attend them. In reality (where the rest of us live), she stopped going after they insulted her again and again. Mayor LaFortune was treated the same way and he also stopped attending them.

There is no provision that allows the City Council to demand the Mayor or any city employee appear before them. "Refusing" to attend this modern day inquisition orchestrated by power hungry jerks was the smart move. For you to act like this is some negative for Kathy Taylor tells me all I need to know about you. You don't care the reason, just will take any instance and try and turn it into a negative to attack the other candidate.

If she had continued to go and get beat on by the out-of-control councilors, you would have probably said she didn't stand up to them. There ain't any good answer to people like you.

Answer me this. Have you stopped kicking your dog? If you answer yes, you admit to kicking it before. If you answer no, you admit to still kicking it. If you say you don't have a dog, it tells me that you hate dogs.

What is your answer?

[rdj]

May be a bad place/time to ask this but RM, did I see you in a Kathy Taylor commercial on the television last night?

[RecycleMichael]

Yes. My agent set it up and I needed the money. At least it wasn't soft porn this time.

I know. I'm such a sexist pig for that. At least I treat campaign workers who knock at my door with respect even though I may not support their candidate. That's a fact. Takes lots of guts to have to talk in person with the Locals.

And, I agree with your assessment.

[Ed W]

Yes. My agent set it up and I needed the money. At least it wasn't soft porn this time.

I thought your work in "Dumpster Muff Diving" was inspired, Michael.  And I'll never look at old bicycle inner tubes quite the same after seeing the innovative uses for recycled ones.

Well, that explains something.  All the time I thought they were supposed to be dumpster diving for muffins.

[Gaspar]

Nothing better than a pipin hot dumpster muffin.
