Harry Baals Can't Even Win When He's Winning: "Fort Wayne, Indiana is the type of place where it's acceptable for the minor-league hockey team to spell its name 'Komets.' What's not apparently acceptable is naming a building after former Mayor Harry Baals, as some are trying to do through a public vote at FeedbackFortWayne.com.
As of 8:30 p.m., 'Harry Baals Government Center' had 9,516 votes with 'The Anthony Wayne Government Center' close behind with 471. In what's supposed to be an America where every vote counts, Deputy Mayor/Communist Dictator Beth Malloy said the Baals Center was 'probably not' going to happen."

A Chicago radio broadcaster asked: If the name is rejected, would a newspaper story about the decision be headlined "Harry Baals Scratched?"
Perhaps he should have changed his first name to Brazilian.
Funny that a Chicago radio broadcaster has not come to the realization the the Windy City's Mayor has a name which could bring guffaws. Nobody has mentioned that Richard Daley could become Dick Daley. Beth Malloy, our carpetbagger from Chicago was Mayor Daley's CIO before coming to Fort Wayne and she apparently finds nothing embarrassing about the Chicago Mayor's name.
