Mailbag

The Dealer received a lot of mail in response to recent developments at Pulse, formerly known as Downtowner . The following are our 3 favorite letters.

Dear Editor,

I loved the spoof of the P&G rap label (P&G to Take Over the Rap Game). Props to Burt Safer for sending up A.G. Lafley as a gangster rapper. Burt's rhymes are the tightest - a perfect 10! Thanks for making my Wednesday morning.

All the best,
Burt Safer

Dear Harold,

Please print more stories by Manny Milquetoast. What an irreverent and whimsical story (Group asks Papa John's to dis Chad Johnson). I loved it so much that I called up Papa John's today and demanded that they dis Chad Johnson... Hahahaha.. You aren't paying these guys enough!

Your friend for life,
Manny Milquetoast

Editor,

Thanks to that mysterious maverick writer Ted Beverage for giving David Krikorian his comeuppance (New Candidate Plans to Donate Votes to Wulsin). I get it.. Krikorian donated money to Wulsin's campaign, so now he is going to donate his votes to her!!! Unbelievably awesome story! You guys are the greatest.

Thanks again,
Ted Beverage

Quick Poll

A weighted voting system, Proportional Representation (PR), may be on the ballot. How do YOU feel?

	This poll is invalid since I can't rank my choices.
	Leslie Ghiz is my #1, but I can't decide who to rank #2, Pat Fischer or John Eby.
	I can understand why the NAACP supports PR, since Charlie Winburn would likely replace Laketa Cole on council in 2009.
	I prefer the current model of electing the same 9 people every two years.
	I'm torn about PR. I would love to rank Sam Malone in dead last on a PR ballot, but I don't know if I could stomach voting for him.
	Does this mean Justin Jeffre and Michael Earl Patton will stop running for Council after they discover they still can't win under PR? Then I'm all for it.
	This system will only encourage more crazy people to run for City Council... and so I support it.
	Call me old-fashioned, but I would prefer it if the candidates with the most votes win.
