Vote Glenda Okones for Mayor of Glen Falls 2012

Listen, I don't like to wave my political flag around too much, especially since this blog was created as a social drinking hub, where we can all get together and share a few virtual pints with each other. I've spent many a nights fantasizing about what this blog might turn into one day. Perhaps, if I find time, I'll eventually write a cool little jingle that will precede each post. Nothing too deep, just a lighthearted ditty about escaping troubles to an establishment where everyone seems to know your name. Maybe in a few years some of you will form a really close bond with me and, jokingly, we'll come up with nicknames for one another. I don't know something crazy, like Sam Malone, and then eventually just plain Sammy. Of course, once I'm given a nickname, I'd be obligated to dish out a few of my own. Perhaps for my best "customer" I'll reserve a special nickname, like Regular or Norm or something. I'd pour everyone a pint on the house, and then we'd all raise our glasses and yell, Cheers!

Now back to my political rant. My vote for the 2012 Mayor of Glen Falls is going to Glenda Okones. It's not everyday that a candidate as special as Okones comes along and has the gumption to really shake things up. She's not offering fake promises in exchange for your support. She's attacking this campaign like a crazy, rabid wolverine and it's that kind of spunk that really makes me believe in her. She's the first, and presumably only, candidate ballsy enough to attack before her rivals do. But, instead of attacking them, she's unleashing her fury...on herself. If you're still unsure who Okones really is as a candidate, I've recopied a statement from the Glen Falls Times made by political analyst, Clive Wangerfield: "Glenda Okones is flawed. She's harsh, she's cold and the "B"-word has even been thrown around too. She has a natural frowny face, not naturally ugly, but severe looking. A lot of people say she's a bad listener. You may be sharing a story from your life and it's going to remind her of a better story from HER life. So she's just going to start talking louder than you and hope that you give up and stop talking all together. She believes it's OK to push people. There you go, now it's all out there. If you're looking for a cute Mayor who listens to you, Glenda is not your candidate. If you're OK with this, vote Okones."

Ah, now that's refreshing. If voters out there still aren't convinced that she's the right woman for the job, I've also attached two more of her attack campaigns. Do the right thing, throw your support behind this wily woman, and vote Okones. This message has been approved by ScapeGoat Ink.
