EOM Honorable Mentions, King Mango Strut Parade ... by gimleteye

2nd Place
The EOM 2nd place award for the King Mango Strut Parade goes to (drumroll, readers...) "Re-Call All". I'm not sure of the Bavarian theme, but regardless-- if the upcoming recall election of Miami-Dade county officials, including Natacha Seijas-- Miami's own Queen of Mean-- were held on Sunday in Coconut Grove; guaranteed the results would have been... (please click, 'read more')
99 percent FOR recall. Just fun, though. Seriously though, what do you think the recall percentages FOR, will be? Here is my favorite photos of a well known illegal alien:

3rd Place
The 3rd place EOM award for the King Mango Strut Parade goes to Sierra Club, for its BP oil spill disaster turning a sow's ear into a silk purse. I liked the waiters showing off seafood dishes covered with gooey oil. Unfortunately, everyone knows that US Dept. of Health standards for trace amounts carcinogens in seafood is non-existent. Oh well, we get the democracy we deserve, don't we? Based on results of Sierra Club political endorsements in 2010, I'll take the six pack.

The Bavarian theme is a spoof of the Ricola herb cough lozenge commercials - they are usually crazy.

Not too up on my Bavarian references!

Failed congressional candidates wearing lederhosen is indeed humorous. So is your estimate that 99% of the parade attendees would vote for recall. Braman's campaign to remove a term-limited mayor (costing taxpayers millions)is not funny. The parade was hilarious, but I am not voting for recall.

It was sad to see the strut sell out this year by taking the BID/Sarnoff money and not allowing anyone that was critical of Sarnoff into the parade.
If there was something the parade was - it was an equal opportunity offender. Now, that applies to anyone except Sarnoff and his toadies - they are safe from criticism. How much did the strut get from the BID - $10K ? I guess you can call that hush money.
How sad.

Clever.

Is it true the Mango Strut organizers prevented anti-Sarnoff floats? Organizer Antonette Baldwin prevented Al Crespo from marching?

I thought every corrupt politician was fair game?
