Many of you know this new hip mayoral candidate Arthur Penn. For all of your sakes, I am thankful that I was in attendance at his first formal press conference. While many of my colleagues started out skeptical, many of them quickly turned their views into one of admiration. I am sure that he swayed many a reporter, and in turn those reporters will sway many-a-voter. But I am here to warn of the smooth talking, charismatic candidate. Arthur's past is as cloudy as his current living arrangements. He speaks of respecting and admiring us for our ability to record and shape history, but neglects to give us any real information on himself. He shakily dodged a question of his past employment and leadership positions, and followed up with a relatively generic public statement of always being on the right side of the law. Nobody seemed to notice that before he came out with this to clarify, his assistant whispered something in his ear. While Arthur does seem like a very well-versed, and capable leader, I would strongly urge against giving him your support, at least, until more information on his shady past come to light.
