A Pretender From Ohio Will Be The Next Mayor

That's the Buckeye from The Ohio State University

My boy Lebron expressed interest in running for mayor of Albany.  He ran 4 years ago and moved out the city JUST LIKE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF OTHERS.  He now lives in Colonie.  After over 20 years in Albany the brother was driven out.

Here's a great piece done by Jordan Carleo-Envangelist: Inside Politics Hopefuls

Apparently he believes he can still run without currently living in the city.  I would have loved to see another political court case pan out with him.  The last time he challenged the machine, he won against the machinist, Tom Marcelle.

So, to prevent him from running, the GOP conveniently found a democrat socialist registered republican from Ohio to run.  

Here is the blog piece: Calhoun Will Run for Mayor As A Republican Not An Independent

Jesse Calhoun lives in the city and believes 9-11 was brought to you by CGI and navy demolition experts.  Yes, a musician from Ohio who came to Albany because the music scene here was better (yes, he said that).  A "libertarian" who jumped on the second amendment bandwagon to spearhead his "political" career.  Another pothead who can't make up his mind if he is an independent, republican, socialist, democrat, whatever.

And...........A Debbie BUSCH hack!!!!

Yes, the nurse was behind this guy getting in.

I actually like libertarians and have voted for some.  And as long as he had some good ideas and a professional background he had my ear.  But now the nurse is behind him, I don't think so.

There's another libertarian running, Alex Portelli.  Why does that matter?  Well, it takes about 140 votes to get the republican line and 10 times more to get an independent line like the Libertarian.  So top it all off, Calhoun is lazy.

So Kathy Sheehan is a transplant from Ohio as is Calhoun.  Our next mayor will be from the Buckeye state. A state that has a music scene worse than ours and continues to be Michigan's bitch.

I think the lead singer of Sirsy should run for office.  She can take him!!!!

Rush Limbaugh should visit Albany!!!

MY CITY WAS GONE  by the Pretenders

WENT BACK TO OHIO 

BUT MY CITY WAS GONE 

THERE WAS NO TRAIN STATION 

THERE WAS NO DOWNTOWN 

SOUTH HOWARD HAD DISAPPEARED 

ALL MY FAVORITE PLACES 

MY CITY HAD BEEN PULLED DOWN 

REDUCED TO PARKING SPACES 

A, O, WAY TO GO OHIO

WELL I WENT BACK TO OHIO 

BUT MY FAMILY WAS GONE 

I STOOD ON THE BACK PORCH 

THERE WAS NOBODY HOME 

I WAS STUNNED AND AMAZED 

MY CHILDHOOD MEMORIES 

SLOWLY SWIRLED PAST 

LIKE THE WIND THROUGH THE TREES 

A, O, OH WAY TO GO OHIO

I WENT BACK TO OHIO 

BUT MY PRETTY COUNTRYSIDE 

HAD BEEN PAVED DOWN THE MIDDLE 

BY A GOVERNMENT THAT HAD NO PRIDE 

THE FARMS OF OHIO 

HAD BEEN REPLACED BY SHOPPING MALLS 

AND MUZAK FILLED THE AIR 

FROM SENECA TO CUYAHOGA FALLS 

SAID, A, O, OH WAY TO GO OHIO
