OC Register columnist Frank Mickadeit has decided to have some fun with a city slogan contest offered by the City of Irvine. Since Frank is practically underwear buddies with the city’s Republican leadership and those who pledge allegiance to the Lincoln Club, he decided to take a few potshots at Irvine.
Go ahead Frank. We can take it. So what is voters keep electing Democrats to the city council majority for the past six elections? So what if Irvine’s government is actually smaller without sacrificing services than it was when Republicans had the majority? So what if Irvine’s economy and safest city designation are among the best in America not just OC? So. What?
Is Irvine boring, beige, and sublime?
Yes, it’s all that and a bag of chips.Â
Frank is offering $101 in cash for someone who comes up with a slogan that Frank and his GOP buddies can all laugh at hysterically when they gather for cigars and drinks later in Newport.
For some reason, no matter what I do to place a comment to Frank’s story, the Register’s website won’t let me. So here are my submissions for Frank’s contest:
1. Irvine: where Republican Metrosexuals have their nosehairs waxed
2. Irvine: no Mickadeits in our Zoo.
3. Irvine: Whatever Mike Schroeder says it is.
4. Irvine: Smaller Government Under Democrats
5. Irvine: Where the NY Times outsells the Register in every Starbucks.
6. Irvine: No sub sandwiches available at 3AM (sorry Probolsky)
Where do I collect my cash?
Let’s meet in downtown Irvine.
Uhhhh, .. where is that?
Oh Junior, not every city needs a downtown. Irvine has Culver, Jamboree, Jefferey, Main Street, Alton, Barranca and Irvine Center Drive all with mini-downtowns that serve the villages of Irvine.
How about, “Just Another Day in Agran’s Paradise?”
