Vote For the Worst

By: Mr. Wilson on April 18, 2007
American Idol fans are well-aware of the website Vote for the Worst. If we were to stage a similar effort for Lincoln's mayoral election, I think Jim Wilson (no relation) is our candidate:
In a handwritten announcement, he said he supports a city manager form of government, drive-in theaters, expanded StarTran hours, a bicameral Legislature and creation of a senior citizens co-ed softball team. He said he's pro-choice and "pro-smoker" and proposed a tobacco tax "to pay off fines at our libraries for children’s overdue materials."
His number four goal for the city (out of fifteen), is "to see Nebraska play Michigan in football this August". Upon hearing that, Bill Callahan smacked his forehead and exclaimed, "Why didn't I think of that?!"

Maybe we could combine all of our vote-for-the-worst efforts and elect Sanjaya as mayor. Woot!

Between Wilson’s Michigan game plank and the former candidate Yant’s idea to move Pioneer Village to Lincoln, we’ve had some doozies this election year.

Thank God Sanjaya is going home. Sweet kid, but he was being used.

He was being used? I think he was using American Idol.

At last, our long national nightmare is over.

Jim Wilson must have forgotten to decree that there will be Capri Sun pouches and orange wedges for the participants of the softball team. I think most of our second tier candidates think they’re running for mayor of Ashland.

Hey!  I’m a former Ashland-ite, so be gentle with the digs to my homies.  😊

Ashland has had its share of interesting mayors though, so I can’t complain.  Fire away Gene!  😉

No digs at Ashland, I like it just fine. I am very pro-Ashland. It just seemed like a small town thing to campaign with.
