<p>Yeah, I said that once, but that was yesterday and this is today.  I don&#8217;t care if the monorail is completely affordable.  I don&#8217;t care that it&#8217;s cheaper than light rail.  I don&#8217;t care how many times you voted for it.  If you haven&#8217;t noticed, I&#8217;m pretty much running unopposed, so I don&#8217;t have to care what anyone thinks.</p>
<p>So, while you&#8217;re all confused about what&#8217;s going on and there isn&#8217;t enough time to clear the air, I&#8217;m going to force it on the ballot and you have to vote for it all over again for a fifth time.  Can you believe it?  A fifth vote!  I can, &#8217;cause I&#8217;m Mayor Gridlock and I get what I want.  If I&#8217;d rather spend taxes on an overpriced tunnel instead of something you said you wanted over and over well, Mayor Gridlock will do just that.  Yeah, I talk about myself in the third person sometimes, &#8217;cause Mayor Gridlock likes to do that.  Don&#8217;t like it?  Too bad.</p>
<p>By the way, the week that I made the monorail board put something on the ballot, I didn&#8217;t attend a single public meeting with them.  Not one!  What did I do instead?  <a href="http://mayorgridlock.com/?page_id=11">I spent a good part of my week attending groundbreakings and ribbons cuttings</a>, cause they&#8217;re fun.  And sometimes there&#8217;s free cookies.</p>
