Grizz, I'm in D8 and I will gladly put a sign out in the yard for ya.

If only you could get The Artist to quit making snide southside remarks....

Grizz is true to his word...thanks.  At the time grizz arrived, one small Kashmir toddler escaped and another Kashmir kid was stuck in the car.  This unfazed the Grizz, as he is a parent of rugrats himself...thus able to handle anything.  Spreadin' the word, brother.

It's only when they get quiet that I get scared. That's when they're drawing on the foyer walls with mascara.

Got your signs placed, then board meeting, then met with Ridge Point later (Inteller's stomping grounds behind super target) and found their citizens to have mixed views on how much Bill helped them with the super target and road widening issues. All the while with a historically repetitive guitar riff stuck in my head.

I am a traveler of both time and space.

Not that I necessarily would've faired better in his shoes, but I think Lakin needs a bit more prep on rebutting opponent attacks. I could've pointed out a month ago what the obvious talking points were and how to argue both sides but Lakin seemed like he was trying to come up with answers as he went. Not sure if that was lack of preparation or just general uncomfortable/nervousness. At one point he called out PJ Lassek and the Tulsa World as if they were intentionally misquoting him, but I chcked into it and found out Lakin's train of thought derailed mid-statement so it just sounded like that.

Lakin said he had no idea where there would be conflicts of interest between the council and his job, save for the ballpark bond money. One member of the audience responded to his answer by rolling his eyes and pretending to toke up.

He's usually webmeister on TW. Based on the time of the post and clarity of grammar, I suspect PWI.

Hmmm, I wondered when I saw Lakin's photo if he's one of those closeted dope-smoking GOP's that FOTD claims is out there.
