I’ve voted for myself. Christy claims to have voted for me too. Given that there is no opposition, I guess I can really be called a councilman-elect now. It’s kind of bothered me in the past few months that people have referred to me as such and I had not even been on a ballot. But now it won’t bother me anymore.
I already suspect that the next four years will be staggeringly miserable in frustration. Ha. Never the optimist. But that’s okay.

Why are you so quick to call yourself councilman-elect? Membership on the Macon City Council will undoubtedly lower your “influential conservative” ranking.

You voted on All-Hallows-Eve, how appropriate.
You are now officially a politician. I shall pray for your soul.
Oh, and congrats…..

If Paul Broun can be denied being sworn in, and thus, the right to be called congressman, don’t be so assured that you can be called “councilman”.

If you can become a councilmember then maybe those e-voting crazies really are onto something.

Do I sniff tax deductibility for beer purchases in the near future? I may skip the whole New York thing and move to Macon instead.

Congratulations Erick, good luck on council.

Well, I almost voted for Christy as a write-in candidate, since she IS the smartest one in the Erickson household, but I was worried you might find out and would never eat at Cheddar’s again……..welcome to my world brother!

Allen, she is the smartest one in the Erickson household, as is your wife in the Peake household. Both are smart enough to never run for office!
Allen Peake 10.31.07 at 9:58 pm
I hear ya, so why in the world did they marry us? I know my reason - she knew if she married me, we would never go hungry (good eating at Cheddar’s and Captain D’s). What’s your reason - did she know she would be married to someone more famous than Chuck Norris?????

Can Macon become the Second Dubai now? Congrats and lets get this city on track now…

That’s it entirely. Plus I’m Swedish. She has a thing for Swedes.
