Mayor Pave, long absent from the Eastside, was spotted tonight at the Harmony Bar. His sycophantic entourage was in tow. All noses at his table were brown. There was a wide arc of emptiness between his group of yes-(wo)men and the rest of the bar patronage, as the regulars recoiled at his presence.

Yeah, ick.

There you have it. After years of dumping on the Eastside for its neighborhood activism, Bürgermeister Beton* is Back, lookin’ for votes in the voting-est ward in the city. Yup, the very ward that put him over the top in ’03. And yup, the same ward he screwed over with his fascistic bus service slashes to pay for his Autobahnen to the ‘burbs.

This time, we have choices….and more choices….We beat his type before, we’ll do it again.

*That’s concrete auf Deutsch.
