Mayor Tom Henry announced Monday the center's name will be Citizens Square. The most popular choice for the building in an online poll was the Harry Baals (balls) Government Center, with 23,817 votes.

Maybe they can name it after a real Indiana pervert, Alfred Kinsey.

About time you had a new one. Nothing wrong with the old one, but you’ve had it for a long time.
You could start a thread and ask for tagline suggestions.

I heard his son married a Hispanic chick named Consuela, she took his last name.

I like my old tagline - IMO, it’s a one-sentence summary of Zer0’s administration.

Oh gosh. Did I forget my stinkin' </sarc> tag? Sorrrreeeee!
To: TheOldLady
No worries - I usually change them much more frequently, but I’m reminded of this one every time Zer0 plays Two Minutes of Hate to distract from his failings.
