Need some money for your local charity? Ask the mayor.
The mayor of Sioux Falls has over $3 million dollars sitting in the ‘The Mike Cindy and Kylie Huether Family Foundation’. I was told by a friend that many of the elite in Sioux Falls do this to show off to their friends. Not sure what they plan on doing with the money, but if I had a charity that needed some help, I would go out and take some tennis lessons, then give him a call.
Does Ysbrand have a shot at beating Karsky?
(H/T to the Big ‘B’ for coming up with this parody sign)
Actually, I think he does. After talking to James last night after the debate, he told me he has been knocking on doors like crazy and gets support by most of the people he talks to. He kinda said their is some mistrust of Dean (yah think). While I don’t think he is a strong candidate, I do know he is not bought and paid for by the elite of Sioux Falls and I can honestly say that he wants to do the ‘people’s work’.
GO JAMES!
(Important note; There was a joint Lincoln County/SF city council meeting last night at 7 PM, so the incumbents couldn’t make the Tea Party debate right away, BUT, Jamison and Anderson did show about half way through and participate in the debate, but NO Karsky.)
Mayoral cry video of the day (H/T – Shrimp Taco)
(FF to 5:00 for actual tearage, yet the whole video is entertaining)

The river really flows at the very end of the video, but don’t watch gusher, watch his wife’s face. Priceless.
SF City Council Tea Party Debate
Detroit, asking the dreaded question. DE-TV?
If the Quen Be De didn’t already hate me before, I’m pretty sure after tonight, she does. I asked the lingering question, “Why were you watching TV during important public debate on a tax increase?” What was one of her main excuses? First she said something about her monitor was just ‘on’. Because, you know, TV just appears before you. Then she used the favorite, 3rd grader excuse, “But Sally and Jimmy watch TV to during the meetings.”
It was pretty much beat up De night. I will give her props, she walked into the Lion’s den. Candidates, VanderLinden, Staggers and DeMatteo are very fiscally conservative, but heck, the Quen even had YsBrand disagreeing with her. Ouch.
She did chuckle when I walked in and she told me she found my picture of her with the logs on my site to be funny. I will agree with her on that point, it is pretty damn funny.
I will say this about the debate, it should have been filmed. It was one of the most dynamic city council debates I have ever seen. The answers were passionate, funny, stupid and intelligent all wrapped into one. Think about it. You put a lawyer, a mathematician, a history professor and a donut maker on the same stage, there is bound to be nuttiness.
I also finished the night with a drink I apparently invented called the, ‘Double-Vodka-Martini-Gimlet-tonic, with a lime.’ After my second favorite bartender told me that my drink was not really a drink. That’s the official name, so f’ck off.
