Pure Power Unleashed
By Mitch Berg
Congratulations to Mr. Dilettante, from Mr. D’s Neighborhood, on winning the 2012 Minnesota Organization of Bloggers mayoral election.
The office of the Mayor is a vital one; as award-winning journalist Karl Bremer once discovered, the mayor of the MOB has absolute editorial control over all blogs associated with the Minnesota Organization of Blogs, a position with editorial control equal to…
…no, I can’t go on with it. The Mayor has no power. The MOB, being expressly apolitical, has no agenda, beyond two drinking parties a year. Bremer is a frothing looney…
…Where were we? Oh yeah. Dilettante will take office at his swearing-in ceremony at the MOB Party on February 25. Make sure you reserve your seat at this historic event.
Hope to see you there!

As I recall the incumbent Mayor disappeared entirely. No one is sure whether it was a case of embezzlement or lefty bloggers kidnapped him. There was no demand for ransom.

Ransom? Pfffft, y’d havta pay us to take ’em back.
And as for “swearing-in”, here goes:
OK Mr. D, you are now the %#&*#%!& MOB Mayor!
Consider yerself sworn in, ya Grumpy Old Man.
