Now that we have had one year to see the consequences of electing a President solely based on celebrity status, I would have thought Ward 1 residents would have known better...

To compare Michael Jones's Ward 1 Aldermanic victory to Barack Obama's presidential victory is completely illogical. Judging Mike as an Alderman before he even takes the position is even more nonsensical. Give him a chance to show us what he can do.

Recent Alum, how can you call Mike Jones a celebrity? Whenever people hear his name, they're so unfamiliar that they always ask, "Who?"

well played #4; well played.
