I cannot believe I have to update “The Return of Malaria Jack” again. When I originally wrote this column in 2010 I would have never imagined in my worst nightmare that 6420 lost and misguided souls would have actually cast a ballot for our former mayor Jack Ellis in the primary election on July 19, 2010. (There were 2 additional voters I did count on, Jack and his wife. Ellis actually received 6422 votes.) Back in September, 2010 when I wrote this I felt a sickness coming on. I had been getting headaches, chills, and muscle pain, the sweats, along with fatigue accompanied by nausea and vomiting. Six years ago Jack had made it to a runoff against Mayor Reichert and my symptoms had doubled…maybe even tripled in their intensity. If you Googled all of these symptoms, you would most likely think that I was coming down with malaria. I knew at the time I had another explanation for my illness: The return of “Clarence Jack Hakim Olajuwon Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Belks Macys Mansour Ellis.”
