At Large My Hotel Is Freaking Me Out

Posted by Dan Savage on Tue, Mar 24, 2009 at 1:45 PM

And, excuse me, but I've been at a thing all afternoon—has someone else really had the nerve to jump into the mayor's race? Does this someone not realize that he could potentially act a spoiler and thereby prevent me from 1. winning my first campaign for elected office and 2. resigning that office 24 glorious hours after being sworn in? Who is this upstart? This neophyte? This bounder?

Are you going to resign from your campaign?

Posted by Jim Jones on March 24, 2009 at 1:48 PM

No way, Mike McGinn and James Donaldson will only prevent you from doing #2. I know next to nothing about both these guys, but I'm sure they're both preferable to a random city council member serving a 1 year term if you were to resign.

This just means you have to run for real. You can beat either of them and Nickels won't stand a chance.

Will your campaign have a polygamy plank?

Did you lock yourself out again Dan?
If you are going to buttfuck the doorknob at least remember to bring your key.

I thought you were in Michigan. I didn't realize you meant 1930s Michigan.

So many doorknobs to lick...
so little time.

All work and no play makes Dan a dull boy.

I know Michael McGinn from his work on the Greenwood Community Council and he seems like an all-around great public servant.

That looks just like the hallway in my apartment building. Except for the lighting fixtures. Mine are even more funky.

Is that Marquette or Ishpeming?

I wonder where you might be able to find the answers to your question?

Oh Dan! Ohhhhhh Dan! I am so geared up for your mayoral campaign. I've been combing the Slog archives for your best writings. I want the citizens of Seattle to know the real Dan Savage. Compassionate, thoughtful, empathetic, generous, OH Dan!!! I can hardly wait for the campaign to begin. I'll be there for you Dan. I'll be there for you every day promoting your past musings on matters large and small to the citizens of Seattle.

Must I report my expenditures to your campaign if we don't collude on the message?

Posted by Michelle on March 24, 2009 at 9:34 PM

Thanks for the photo of your hotel Dan. We at Slog live our lives vicariously through you and are very grateful for every post that you deign to make for us.

You are a great guy Dan! Fuck those assholes who criticize you for ridiculing liberals and the anti-war movement and supporting the war on Iraq. So what if a bunch of people have been blown to pieces. When you wrote "Say Yes To War On Iraq" it was damn cute!

If the hallway really has you mesmerized- in a Bad Way- I'd say, "Call Temple Grandin." Really... she can help. ^..^

Hmmmm... that's odd. Usually the blood gets off on the second floor.
