While declared, John still hasn't managed to register his campaign with City Hall. Also will the Stranger be providing 1000 word softball puff pieces to the other 39 candidates?

I just saw this blowhard Beardo in Ballard on his phone talking loudly while pacing in front of La Carta de Oaxaca a few days ago. It was as if he was campaigning to the street or something...and this interview really highlights how he's going to say a lot of nice things yet I am sure once he gets in (if he does that is...) he'll just turn into another Seattle democrat and nothing will get done.
I second that emotion, @1. Maybe the Stranger would consider also posting the other side of John's history in Seattle, which includes pissing off tons of people, never actually holding any type of grown-up job, and basically acting like a fourteen year-old brat in an adult's body.
@8, this has nothing to do with Burgess, these are legitimate questions. There are a bunch of people rallying around Roderick and supporting him without knowing the reality of his non-ability to function in professional situations. In addition, there's a chronic baby-disguised-as-full-male-adult problem in this city, especially in the music scene, and he practically leads the lot.
Alright, you've got my attention, Beardo
