I've known a few mayors (I'm the municipal employee who enforces EPA regs for wastewater, "pretreatment coordinator") and none had anything that they carried around that said "mayor." It really isn't the kind of job you need a badge for or anything like that. A mayor can't tell anybody to do anything unless they work for him (the city) and you don't need a badge or ID to tell subordinates what to do. As for an ID badge, 2 things: I've never heard of a city hall that required ID to enter (they're public) and anybody who works there, especially any security staff they might have, know exactly who the mayor is. It would be like the secret service requiring the Prez to show ID. I'm betting that if this story is true the guy showed him a business card.
I support putting an "abstain" option on the ballot, and if it gets the majority of votes there is a do-over.
I liked the last paragraph. The politically pre-programed policies designed to be examples of how government spending could create growth in the marketplace. The horror! Clearly it was the large constituent tax cuts of the stimulus spending that brought unemployment back down to 4%. Clearly.
So how do we know that giving me a free ipad won't save my life?
Unless they changed the law in which case i have some baby bottles to dump out and clean...

Eh, It was good enough.
Many of the county bridges in my area are in the situation you were describing in your second paragraph. Most are wooden plank bridges with no railings and, instead of having the funding to replace them, the county just bulldozes a pile of dirt at each end and puts up a "road closed ahead" sign.
Is that...a flare? I'm confused.
Spent a whole summer in college on hint 'o lime and box wine. And just so you know "Wanna come back to my place for some chips and box wine?" isn't as great a line as you might at first think.
Thank you for making these points. I'd also like to add that every doctor, in response to any ailment, suggesting that "getting more exercise" is most likely to solve said ailment (without asking whether you're already doing that) doesn't help much either.
Edit: Reading this again it seems a little out of context. I was providing another example of the lens people see you through, even people who you would expect to know better. I work out every day. My resting heart rate is close to 60. Yet I weigh close to 300 so automatically anything wrong with me is some complication of my fat ass.

Hey! My personal photos are off-limits!
You can have a go at mine. Just junk mail and insufficient funds charges.
zing.
Not disagreeing with your intent, but it must be said that it is legal for a parent to give a kid a beer.
Here is one vote for vajazzl'd.
Or that the stimulus was at best half what it should have been and largely consisted of tax cuts and not the kind of spending that gets big engineering projects started.
