It's like the name-dropping equivalent for books. Book-dropping. Just letting SPD know he's on their side.

Sorry, Dom, but I can't tell if this is information or satire.

@2 It is pandereing.

I hope you don't have to wait long. The mayor's had a long hot Friday, and his balls aren't going to buff themselves.

Do they have "The Bicycle Thief" on dvd?

@4) You can do better than that, especially for such a tawdry selection of books.

@5 And by heterosexuals you meant heterosexual men. Women don't count.

@8, you're right. I'm sorry. A long day of bullying the mayor just plain wore me out. That's the best I could manage.

Some suggestions for mayor McGinn:

On the Take, From Petty Crooks to Presidents.

Securing the Spectacular City: The Politics of Revitalization and Homelessness in Downtown Seattle

Police Union Power, Politics, and Confrontation in the 21st Century: New Challenges, New Issues

Then he can write a 1,000 word essay as to why he is sorry.
