The Clog returned to our car the other day to find something on our windshield that looked suspiciously like a parking ticket. Fortunately, it was just a message from local serious politician, Zachary RunningWolf.

We find it a tiny bit ironic that someone who fights the Man by not paying his traffic tickets would campaign on car windshields–but anyway, we feel bad about missing out on RunningWolf’s benefit concert at Ashkenaz Music Hall, so to make up for it we’ll give him a space right here on the Clog. Some of his plans for mayor, if elected, are:

  • To “implement car-free areas on our busiest streets such as Telegraph and Shattuck,” and thus, leave us to navigate a maze of one-way streets.

  • To stop “congest(ing) our streets and our city with soulless buildings” and “overpriced condominiums.”

For a full list, go to Zach’s campaign website. Another thing to note is that if elected Mayor of Berkeley, he will also give up the Mayor’s salary.

One of the reasons I’m giving up the mayor’s salary is to show that money will not influence me, in other words, I’m taking corruption out of leadership … people should see politicians for what they really are, paid prostitutes and thieves, and start to expect real leadership from their public officials. I am not a politician, I am a leader, and I make sacrifices for the people.
