VOTE EARLY, BUT ONLY ONCE

It has come to my attention that this blog is up for MKE Online’s “Blog of the Week” award. I’d like to welcome those of you who have come here from MKE’s website. If this is your first visit to The Bemusement Park (and let’s face it, it is), I invite you to start off by reading “The Best of TBP” to get a feel for some of the content posted here. You can also check out the author bio to learn more about me.

Obviously, the only reason I’m doing this is to butter you up so you will go and vote for me. But simple pandering just won’t do; after all, what’s a Milwaukee election without some sort of cringe-inducing weirdness? So here’s the deal: I can’t promise you, the individual voter, anything. After all, I don’t know who some of you are, but based on my search engine hits, I’m fairly certain that most of you are more than slightly unbalanced, the sort of people around whom one should not make sudden moves. So I ain’t offerin’ any of you squat. But I will make you this promise: if I win, I’ll double my stepdaughter’s allowance for a week. Thus, if you vote for TBP, one little girl will have twice as much money to spend on ice cream bars. How can you tell her no? Huh?

Anyway, thanks for visiting, and please come back often, because otherwise, what’s the point of spending $10 a month to do this?
