    Bernie, has the filing deadline been reached? I thought Prinzinger was going to run against Percy Dougherty?

    The filing deadline was yesterday. Prinzinger is challenging Dougherty. I will change layout to make that more clear.

    Ah, ok - sorry if I missed it. Been a long day. I'm glad so many people are starting to get involved but I have no idea who most of the newcomers are. Going to have to do some research this election season.

    Hope the school boards see the same growth in candidates.

    "Mr. Villa, please go away. If you stop showing up here there will be no more "blog skirmish.""

    Actually, this isn't true. If I'm gone too long from this blog, O'Hare self-pens loony anonymous comments and tells you, his reader, that I'm posting them. This always draws me back, to defend myself.

    North side, east side
    Little Willy, Willy wears the crown, he's the king around town
    Dancing, glancing
    Willy drives them silly with his star shoe shimmy shuffle down
    Way past one, and feeling alright
    'Cause with little Willy round they can last all night
    Hey down, stay down, stay down down

    'Cause little Willy, Willy won't go home
    But you can't push Willy round
    Willy won't go, try tellin' everybody but, oh no
    Little Willy, Willy won't go home

    Up town, down town
    Little Willy, Willy drives them wild with his run-around style
    Inside, outside
    Willy sends them silly with his star-shine shimmy shuffle smile
    Mama done chase Willy down through the hall
    But laugh, Willy laugh, he don't care at all
    Hey down, stay down, stay down, down

    'Cause little Willy, Willy won't go home
    But you can't push Willy round
    Willy won't go, try tellin' everybody but, oh no
    Little Willy, Willy won't go home

    Little Willy, Willy won't
    Willy won't, Willy won't
    Little Willy, Willy won't
    Willy won't, Willy won't
    Little Willy, Willy won't
    Willy won't, Willy won't
    Little Willy, Willy won't
    Willy won't, Willy won't

    Little Willy, Willy won't go home
    But you can't push Willy round
    Willy won't go, try tellin' everybody but, oh no
    Little Willy, Willy won't go home

    Little Willy, Willy won't go home
    But you can't push Willy round
    Willy won't go, try tellin' everybody but, oh no
    Little Willy, Willy won't go home

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
