Fort Wayne, Indiana held a poll on its website to decide the name for a new government center.
Not surprisingly, popular mid-century Republican mayor Harry Baals -- pronounced as you might think -- won by a landslide, according to the Journal Gazette. Baals won three times as many votes as the next competitor, Eugene Johnson.
But the government refuses to let this happen.
Deputy Mayor Beth Malloy told the Journal Gazette it is "probably not" going to happen: "We love Fort Wayne, too. We're not going to make any decisions that look bad."
I heard this on Rush's show.

Yes, because naming it "H. Baals" or pronouncing it as the family pronounces it "bales" is out of the question ... I said OUT OF THE QUESTION!!
You know why? Because this is what libs do when they have power and they're outvoted. Who cares what the people want, we're doing as we damn well please.
You're in a perpetual state of surprise when they ignore what the people want and instead do what's good for them. You really are a slow learner when it comes to understanding our intellectual betters.
