Calculate Jesus in CFG

Although I am atheist, this is not meant to be blasphemous, just pointing out a numerical fact. And having a bit of fun.

Zombies will eat your brains in 2012

Seriously, people, zombies. The Mayans didn't say "zombies" specifically because they didn't want to frighten us. And the Mayan word for "zombie" roughly translates as "dumb as a banana," which got mistranslated.

I figure I'll gain the anti-zombie vote at the cost of the zombie vote - which is fine because they usually only trip the voting booth lever while chasing those poor, poor, elderly election day workers desperately trying to scramble away.

So when they come for your brains, Sedona voters, will you have chosen wisely?

Nuclear weapons in Sedona


Every elected official needs a little fear-mongering. George Washington used the British and "taxation without representation," Pericles used Sparta and "No dynasty without pederasty" and Thag of the Bent-Tree Cave used mastodon stampedes and "No dead youths without sabertooths."

Two new CFG2012 election posters

Not sure which of these I like better. I like the text of the first one, but having a good haiku is nothing to shake a stick at.

My destiny is mayorship


We can not fight our destiny. Mine is to run for elected office. It might also be to face impeachment, but such is life.

CFG2012 committee gets in gear

The election heats up. Yes, it's 3 1/2 years away. So what? I plan on winning the procrastinators' votes.

Art makes you famous

You know you've become famous in a small town when you're included as a in local art. In this Brian Walker mural now hanging at Java Love Cafe in West Sedona, there are several local arts figures, everyone from Brian Walker himself as an elephant, my ex-semi-quasi-current-roommate Lori-Ann Rella as herself and a panda, Tyrell, Gianni, Angel Mike, Jesus and Streetwalker Jesus, Gandhi, Lou Moretti as Charlie Chaplin, etc.

I stand out with my 2012 mayoral campaign sign, American Spirit cigarette and Red Star Communist hat.
