This comment made my morning!

“That’s what happens when you scratch a guy once, he runs the coach,” Clouston joked. “I like that. It was a great hit. I didn’t think he would come at me, but he did. Little prick is pretty solid.”

Haha, yeah, that cracked me up.

Clouston’s lucky it wasn’t Sutton.

Laurie Boschman's idiot sister is running for mayor here again.

Per her proposals:

I just contacted John Mayer and Jennifer Aniston last night via John Mayer’s Facebook account.

I asked them to consider coming to Brandon because I told them that we are fundraising for all sorts of projects within Brandon and that their visibility would help us.

I then asked Mr. Mayer to contact Bono from U2 and I asked them to consider coming to Brandon and also doing a World End to Poverty concert or something from our city.

I feel no further comment is necessary.
