Arlington, Oregon, recalled its mayor yesterday for posing for racy MySpace pictures in her underwear. Not every mayor could pull that off, but Mayor Carmen Kontur-Gronquist did, convincingly.
While the underwear controversy sparked the recall effort, the voters were disgruntled for other reasons as well. For example: there is the matter of the management of the Arlington Municipal Golf Course. To save money, the mayor had cut two people from the course's maintenance staff.
So, to recap: a town where the mayor looks great posing in frilly underthings has a political uprising because the sand traps at the municipal golf course aren't getting raked frequently enough. I'm moving there next week.
She is yoked. I don't see the problem. Had she looked like Janet Reno...

What's "yoked"?

I thought the people wanted "transparency" in government!

From context, I assume "yoked" is like "stacked".

Dunno about "yoked," but I have one word for it:
Implants.
Oh, and one other word:
Inappropriate.
Not for this blog, of course, but for a mayor.
