Election Day

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

The County Election pictures the American democratic system in progress. The story takes place in a small Midwestern town in the mid-nineteenth century, when the rituals of voting were still taking shape, particularly on the frontier. George Caleb Bingham, known as “the Missouri artist” for the state where he lived and worked, recognized the responsibilities as well as the rights of citizenship; and because he played an active part in Missouri politics, he gained a personal perspective on the contemporary…

It’s not the party, it’s the after-party

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

Campaign after-parties are for me what weddings are for most other people…the best place to get laid without having to pay. Here’s the rundown of where the candidates will be: Mayoral candidate Bill Foster will finish his campaign where it all began: at Ferg’s Sports Bar at 1320 Central Avenue (check out Ferg’s great website here). City Council candidate Jim Kennedy will also be at Ferg’s. Not that I have been invited, but Kathleen Ford is hosting her Election Night…

Is Kathleen Ford’s new TV spot some sort of Halloween spoof?

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

When I first saw Kathleen Ford at a podium in front of a green-screened American flag, I thought this had to be a Halloween spoof. Evidently, this commercial really was put out by her campaign. Not as bad as that fake commercial for Joe Smith, but this ad certainly is the worst television commercial produced by one of the mayoral campaigns. And I don’t think anyone EVER wants Kathleen Ford imagining anything for them!

Tallahassee lobbyist’s shadowy 527 behind mailers for Steve Kornell

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

Take a closer look at the latest direct mail for Steve Kornell and you will see that it is paid for by “Liberty and Justice for All,” an ECO formed last year by prominent Tallahassee lawyer/lobbyist Mark Herron, who is best-known for representing public officials accused of ethical violations. Here’s what Herron said about the ECO when asked by blogger Bob Norman: I asked him about the organization’s birth. “I just had an idea about the name and decided to…
