OtisisHungry posted this comment predicting, anongst other things:
- Mary Mulhern wins her race for Tampa City Council and kumbaya breaks out all over Tampa.
- Joe Redner is named Arts and Cultural Czar of Tampa.
- Brian Blair is exposed in a gay pay for play meth scandal.
- And a great snark about Janee Murhpy and the Hillsborough DEC that you just have to read for yourselves.
So when I stopped rolling around on the floor laughing my a** off, I thought, self, let's have some more fun with Local Politics Predictions.
OK, here are some of mine:
- St. Petersburg Mayor Rick Baker takes the job as State Director in Charge of Cleaning up Charlie Crist's screw ups. He gets paid 4 times the Governor's salary and says, "This is the greatest job in the world, and its another great day in the State of Florida".
- Pinellas County Commisioner Bob Stewart gets snowed in in his real home out west and misses 6 months of County Commission meetings. No one notices.
- The City of St. Petersburg recognizes that the Opus South 400 Beach Drive building is 20 feet closer to the street than is allowed. The building is blown up as the opening scene of Lethal Weapon XXV.
- Bill Foster beats Renee Flowers in a close election to replace Baker as mayor of St. Petersburg. The GLBT community endorses Foster, who promises to lead the Gay Pride Parade in July.
- The City of St. Pete Beach approves charter ammendments that require every beach front building to be 50 stories tall.
- St. Petersburg Mayor Bill Foster signs a peace treaty with County Commission Charman Ken Welch that ends the bloody war between the County and the City. As part of the treaty Susan Latvala has to stay north of Ulmerton Road, but St. Petersburg gets to keep Karen Seel who was captured near the end of the conflict in a daring raid led by new St. Petersburg Police Chief Rudy Guiliani.
So there's my silly six. Let's hear yours. Got game?

Susan,
I wish I knew. I have a suspicion, but it is probably wrong. Pretty funny though?
Off the cuff, I don't think the GLBT community will be too quick to back Mr. Foster with a picture like this out there.

In fact, I'm not sure if ANY member of the community will get behind him with that out there.
Cheers!
Steven,
This is mostly a spoof, particularly about Bill Foster and the GLBT community.
heck, every year I predict he's going to switch to the Democratic party. Haven't been right yet. :)
I thought you were snarking, but, it would be nice for the Mayor to attend Pride once. How many other parades within the city limits does he miss?
Steven,
You are absolutely correct.
If you will help us, the next Mayor of St. Petersburg will be leading the Gay Pride Parade ! :)
