SMH Richard - You actually have to be invited to speak. The grill masters are people who WON AN ELECTION. They have all worked in their elected job roles and earned the title. My husband and I will be there and are looking forward to a great evening of laughter and fun. I wonder if your show of "respect" for your Mayor is because you don't want to pony up the money or if you are simply afraid no one in attendance will know who you are?

And right here is the crux of the matter - why people can't stomach you. You are the first to comment on a story that has nothing to do with you but you somehow make it about you. You have an opportunity to actually show your face and contribute to the community. The very same community that you believe have had an uprising because of your very "successful" failed campaign. And you aren't showing up out of "respect"? If the Mayor is doing this because it will draw in a lot of money then it would not be disrespectful for a citizen to come out and support a great community cause. You give yourself far too much credit in that one line. Well also that you would even be asked to participate but I digress.
