There were two gay guys running for city council, District 3, in San Diego in 2008. One was Todd Gloria and the other Steven Whitburn. I live in District 3, the zip code is 92103. Since there were two gay guys running, I decided to keep their campaign mail just for fun. I'm going to write about Todd and Steve in alphabetical order, so no one is offended, concerning which order I write about these two guys. Of course, I might still offend someone, anywhoos...
Todd Gloria had fifteen (15) pieces of campaign mailers in my zip code. Steven Whitburn had seven (7) pieces of campaign mailers in my zip code. So... how many trees would that be? I wonder if the the graphic designers got paid well? Err, I'm a graphic designer, I think about these things.
Oh... and... why did Todd have two (2) smear mailers against Steve. And why did Steve have one (1) smear mailer against Todd. And the Gay and Lesbian Times, in San Diego, endorsed Todd Gloria. Why didn't the Gay and Lesbian Times simply offer Todd and Steve as two candidates to vote for and list each with their strong points? (I guess I'll never get anything printed again in the Gay and Lesbian Times or will I?)
Here are my last two questions. Why were there so many mailers by these guys? Why did they both have smear campaigns against each other? Which one is telling the truth? Will we ever find out?

Mike, I like the humor. You've got to laugh or cry about these things.
I really want to know which candidate paid their graphic designer more money.
By the way, I think the one candidate used two different graphic designers, because I see an obvious design technique that was not consistent with all their mailers. It's only a guess, who knows?
