Old FURIOUS nads! by The One True b!X

Now, I love wingnut mayoral candidates. And I love the schtick mayoral candidates. A couple of years after I moved to Portland, I considered a joke campaign myself. In fact, several of the rotating set of campaign slogans have been repurposed into the rotating set of taglines of the top of this site, because I recently came across my joke campaign flyers.

But as much as I love wingnuts, and as much as I love schtick, the best jokes at least maintain some sort of internal consistency.

So what all Portland voters should want to know from Kyle Burris is this: How can someone’s platform be against unconstitutional persecution of the homeless, but at the same time call for the unconstitutional construction of death camps for hipsters, as well as an unconstitutional wall around the Pearl District, complete with armed guards?

Clearly, this is precisely the sort of position inconsistency that primary elections were designed to out.
