SURPRISE! South DaCola endorses Vernon Brown for mayor of Sioux Falls!

Get out your feather boas and unicorn saddles, because Sweet Vernon ‘The Velvet Hammer’ Brown is in the HOUSE!

While I have been telling you over the past, oh, I don’t know, 3 years that Kermit is the man, I came to the realization that we need someone sensitive in the mayor’s seat, and Vernon is the man. NOT KERMIT. Who else has;

• Taken taxpayer money to bailout the zoo

• Flip-flopped on tax increases (cuz, god dammit, those developers need help)

• Talked about how adorable his daughter is one too many f’ing times.

• Cries about not having an indoor pool on a daily basis.

• Deletes blog comments on his site.

• Claims to be a fiscal conservative while advocating a million dollar rhino barn and flamingo shed.

I could go on an on about all of his experience as a KELO-TV jokalist and a marketing manager for some communications outfit, but why bore you with his inexperience? Just vote for Vernon, and he will read you a bedtime story on Channel 16 every night and tuck you in while a silhouette of an American Flag waves in the background. Don’t hold back, vote with your heart, not with you head.

VOTE BROWN!

Mayor Munson fires Chief of Staff, Jodi Schwan . . .

“Who needs a sandwich?”

A city hall mole told me last night that Munson fired COS, Schwan yesterday. Which seems a bit odd, since she will probably be looking for a new job coming May anyway. I asked him if they could get any details as to why it happened so suddenly. He said that Dave told him;

“I just couldn’t figure out what she did. I know it was the end of my term and all, but it just kinda frustrated me. Besides going to lunch with me once in awhile and handing out sandwiches at the Event Center task force meetings, I was really couldn’t see what her purpose was. Heck, I even caught her on FACEBOOK one day chatting about Falls Park!”

Well, I hope Jodi got her resume in order by now.

BREAKING: Pat Costello pulls out of Mayoral race, donates his campaign money to bikini contest at his bar, Borrowed Bucks

In a bizarre twist of fate, a South DaCola foot soldier told me yesterday that Pat has pulled out of the race. He said, to my soldier;

After a 100 days, I really didn’t know what I was going to do, besides spending my inheritance and ordering hamburger buns, what do I know about running a city?”

Some of his big wheel donors seemed a little disappointed that he wasn’t giving there money back instead of handing it out as prize money. Dana Dykhouse said,

“Now if I could be the official photographer at the contest, I might not be so upset, but I bought Pat, and he owes me more then some trailer park queen in a bikini. How about a 79% interest rate credit card?”

Huether, his closest competitor was asked what he thought about Costello pulling out;

“Hey, wow, that’s a great question. You know, Pat pulling out, hmmm, wow. I know he is a candidate, and now he isn’t. I have been talking to the people of Sioux Falls, and now is the time for change.”
