Vegas, as long-time readers know, is among my favorite places in the U.S., basically because it doesn’t even pretend to be real.
Over on Drudge this morning, there was a link to this story about LV’s mayor speaking to a room of 4th graders:
Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman told a group of fourth graders on Monday that if he was marooned on a desert island the one thing he would want to have with him is a bottle of gin.
And when a student quizzed Goodman about his hobbies he replied that “drinking” was one of them, said Mackey Elementary School Principal Kamala Washington [. . .]
Goodman was unapologetic for his comments [. . .] “I’m the George Washington of mayors. I can’t tell a lie. If they didn’t want the answer, the kid shouldn’t have asked the question,” Goodman said. “It’s me, what can I do?”
I wish I could follow this up with a joke or a quip.
