RDC's RATES OUR
LEADERS!
LOOK FOR UPDATED
RATINGS ON THE NEWLY ELECTED SOON
FROM THE MERRY OLD LAND OF
OZ...
Orlando may not be the Emerald
City, or Munchkinland for that matter, but we thought some easy
to understand symbols from along the Yellow Brick Road might best
represent how we feel about our elected leaders.
These ratings are subject to change, as people are forever changing...
RDC RATINGS:
Ruby Slipper -
(The best
of the best)
 Glinda the Good Witch
-
(A
simply good record)
 Wizard
of Oz -
(Hasn't done much of
anything to help - or hurt - us; or has done both! )
Flying Monkey -
(Flying monkeys are just plain bad)
Wicked Witch
-
(Reserved for the absolute worst of the
worst)
OTHER SYMBOL(S) :
