Brandon on e-mails: "I don't read blogs so I think it's nonsense"

going to write him in for MSU regent, but if everyone else will do it for some other position I am game.

Um, no. Not going to get into politics but I don't think the people of Detroit would benefit much from his style of "leadership", nor do they deserve it.

Clearly some people don't get sarcasm.....

IT'S A JOKE PEOPLE. WE CAN ALL CALM DOWN NOW. WE CAN ALL RELAX. CALL OFF THE DOGS. 

Why was this down-voted? Obviously sarcastic, and way too much fun to imagine. 

DB: Folks, Detroit is not a brand, but 'Motor City' and 'Motown' are. As your Mayor, I will work tirelessly to make certain that Motor City and Motown are nationally and internationally recognized and beloved symbols of this great City, eliciting faster associative responses than such competitors like "the Windy City", "the City that Doesn't Sleep", the "City of Brotherly Love", or the "Twin Cities". My Plan for the success of Detroit is to immediately begin work on:

(1) installing permanent speakers throughout the city to play Motown music down every major pedestrian thoroughfare;

(2) renaming all roadways and neighborhoods with Legends of Motown and Motor City brandages (i.e., the "Jackson 5" Mile);

(3) lighting up the Detroit waterfront with a weekly fireworks display, which will be the envy of every human, obviously; and

(4) building a brand new luxury-styled neigborhood and shopping district along the waterfront with the investment of my friend Steven Ross, where the Detroit Experience will be consumed from the comfort of luxury condominiums, restaurant piazzas, high-end shopping outlets, and hotel room windows.

Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson, Diana Ross, Ted Nugent...these are just a few of the names I will repeat over and over again. The cost of roughly $800M will be made up by increasing bridge and road tolls, and Mr. Ross's investment. Visitors and residents will be wowed by what makes our city so great. This idea is so fucking brilliant.

Citizen: But Mayor Dave, although I share your enthusiasm for much of what makes our city recognizable; there's no pragmatic formula in your outline of works to deal with our city's crippling debt, lack and constant loss of jobs, our plight, corruption, weakened infrastructure, etc. These expenses, without stability, quite frankly appear crushing and short-sighted. What is your plan to bring actual stability to our city?

DB:  Did you not see the "Detroit Rules" biplane we commissioned over Cincinatti last week?! Running a city is 'big-boy' business. I suggest you move somewhere else if you don't share my vision. 

Narcissist quotes are the best!

My favorite part about narcissists is that when attempting a lie to cover their own ass--as here, by Dave Brandon--the lies are so often non-sequiturs related to their self-proclaimed greatness. 

Here Dave Brandon asserts that he does not read blogs--and therefore, because he does not read blogs, he thinks Emailgate is nonsense! 

Just take a minute to let that soak in. 

Then ask, what in holy hell does his reading blogs or not have to do with the authenticity of these emails that have his name on them?  He knows whether he sent them or not; whether he reads blogs has nothing to do with it.

Yet he still finds it necessary to assure us that he does not read blogs, therefore all subjects discussed on all blogs are nonsense. 

Hilarious! 

Or one million dollars!

I'm an idiot.  I think I misinterpreted this tweet by Brian at first glance:

Now getting buried in more condescending emails from Brandon.

What a shame none of these emails were written in the spring so Brandon could wish people Happy Easter.
