shorter matt tully: how do i love mayor greg ballard? let me count the ways:

10. he's lousy at public speaking.
9. his panhandling plan won't work, but it's something.
8. he flip-flopped on the super bowl and arts funding, which is good because his old position was stupid.
7. he's been really lucky so far. i mean, really lucky.
6. he didn't do too good a job at fixing potholes.
5. i think his chinatown idea is great.
4. did i mention how lucky he's been?
3. he hasn't messed up! (other than #10, #9, #8, #6, #5, and #2.)
2. actually, he hasn't done much at all, except for...
1. he's in charge of the police department now. see, that's something!

love,

As a 66 year old gay male, I was positively fascinated by Matt Tully's skill at fellatio. Damn, he's good!

Last week it was Mitch, this week Greg Ballard. McCain's coming to town - will he get that "special welcome" from Tully? ¶

Matt's list of "what not to say in politics" today is sadly but not surprisingly bad. The guy is doing no reporting.
Heck of a note, heck of a note. So much happening, and so little in print in prime real estate. And from the political columnist! Where's the beef????
But on the upswing: Will Higgins has another good piece on a little flooded-out burg in Shelby Co., and Ketzenberger has a fascinating read on Paul Ogden's lawsuits.
I think Matt talks too much to Dennis Ryerson. Kiss of death. No guts, no glory. ¶

I think someone has muzzled Tully...he used to be on point more often. Now it is all fluff ¶
