Now that the intensity of the race has faded and fewer people are paying attention, I have to admit I'm finding it difficult to find inspiration for substantive, issues-based blog posts. Even poring through the day's headlines hasn't really been doing it for me.
That said, there are a couple things in today's collection that, unintentionally or not, made me laugh.
From today's City Paper interview of Michael Nutter on "Important" LGBTQ issues:
CP: What piece of clothing can you not live without?
MN: Generally my pants; I tend not to travel too much without my pants.
I find that one wool sock can make up for a lack of pants in an emergency.
The headline of this article in today's Metro reminded me a lot of the famous, apocryphal question put to Mary Todd Lincoln, "Aside from that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"
Here's an Inqling that you may have missed:
There'll be a mayoral challenge at the Rosenbach Museum and Library as Nutter and Republican hopeful Al Taubenberger plan to be among those reading James Joyce's tongue-tripping Ulysses on June 16 at the museum's annual Bloomsday Celebration.
This may be one of those situation where Taubenberger would probably be willing to wave the equal time rule. What if, instead of reading from Ulysses, Nutter and Taubenberger interpreted it through performance art with the help of this woman? Now that I'd go and see.

Interesting interview spread in the City Paper Dan on Mr. Mike. I see you've noticed to fewer people are into the unique control of Nutter or should I say the unique control of his backers. Dan putting things on the " Scale Of Justice " in a universal manner , is the LGBTQ community expecting more than most out of Nutter as an abetor. I've been around for a while Dan and no matter the politician I still find a materially false or should I say I find no substance to Nutter's promise that all government services even himself will be culturally sensitive and free of dicrimination.
He may have an inclining course in his mind for the good of the whole but will the whole have an inclining for his course of mind.
Dan we are in ever changing times and right now the " LGBTQ " might feel and have a thoughtful and progressive mood for Nutter. By November voters could develope a " Stout Attitude " against Nutter , caused by his " History " and Biology.

Maybe some people don't like his biology... but what about his chemistry? Or his archeology? Heck, what about his entomology? I'm sure people love that.

Hey Anoymous ,
Whatever his sciences turn out to be his area of knowledge and general truths will definitely be racked over especially his picks of reasoning.
