Steve's Report Card on the 2002 Hair Consultant Candidates!
Hi folks. While I will not formally endorse a candidate and only have 13 electoral votes,
here is my report card on this year's candidates. I trust it helps.
Also, CLICK HERE
to read all the news so you can be an informed voter!
GRADING SYSTEM: "A" = Excellent, "B" = Good,
"C" = Satisfactory, "D" = Unsatisfactory,
"F" = Well, You Know (Note: Once again, a "C" is a satisfactory grade,
meaning a candidate meets the requirement or expectation. If a candidate
goes above and beyond, they will earn a "B" or "A")
(Boki, Donna, Kendra)
1) Leadership Qualities
Kendra Morrell: F
Kendra made a bad impression with voters early on when she refused to show leadership
or express any kind of vision for Steve's hair. She has rarely taken the initiative
during the campaign and has nagged Steve about what she should do.
Kendra makes Dan Quayle look like a good candidate.
Boki Evans: A
Boki appears unruffled and unmoved by the
intense criticism of his
bald head in recent weeks. He seems to relish the
ColoradoGuy media attention and has posted numerous statements sharing thoughts about Steve's hair.
Also, he tells everyone about this web site in real life.
Donna Ward: B Donna
has always welcomed the ColoradoGuy digital camera and
any news story that is published about her. Donna has also been
outspoken and passionate in the past when she has an opinion to voice about Steve's hair.
2) Knowledge (Ability to help Steve with his hair)
Kendra Morrell:
D
Kendra has stated repeatedly that she knows practically nothing about Steve's hair.
However, her advice in the voter guide
for Steve to brush his hair out everyday was very helpful.
Boki Evans: D
Everyone agree Boki is well-meaning,
but he fails to show that he really understands the
long, naturally curly hair
of Steve. Boki is masterful at being a public figure on ColoradoGuy, but will
he be able to give practical advice during Steve's inevitable hair emergencies?
Donna Ward: C
Donna served as Steve's Hair Consultant in 1999 and is well-acquainted
with Steve's hair. Furthermore, Donna assisted Steve during the dred
lock crisis and has mentioned the possibility of a "split-end snipping" to ensure quicker long-term hair growth.
3) Availability to Steve
Kendra Morrell: C
Kendra promptly responds to Steve's e-mails and consistently posts on the Friendship Board.
Boki Evans: B Boki
also promptly replies to Steve's e-mails and posts often on the Friendship Board. Steve also "bumps into" Boki often at Spice of Life Café, a local coffee shop in Manitou Springs.
Donna Ward: B Steve
feels very comfortable to spontaneously visit Donna at her home or workplace,
and often does. Also, Donna communicates with Steve via e-mail.
4) Availability to the ColoradoGuy Community
Kendra Morrell: C Kendra posts messages on the Friendship Board and seems to enjoy conversing with anyone on the board.
She also visits the chat room regularly. Note: Kendra needs a Network54 log-in name.
Boki Evans: A
At almost any given time, a visit to the Friendship Board will reveal numerous postings
from Boki. He has openly expressed his availability to the
ColoradoGuy community and has also posted numerous pictures of himself on this web site.
Donna Ward: D
Donna needs to post messages more consistently on the Friendship Board.
Although she is very friendly in person, she rarely engages in on-going discussions.
Note: Donna needds a Network54 log-in name.
5) Commitment to the Overall Quality of Life in Manitou Springs
Kendra Morrell: D
A resident of Colorado Springs, Kendra needs to hang out Manitou Springs more
often. She has visited twice and spent lots of money like a good tourist (boasting our tax revenue),
but that's about it.
Boki Evans: A
Boki loves Manitou and even knocked on doors to inform residents during the failed effort to save
Higginbotham Flats in 1999. He helped organize the 1st annual
Breakfast Buffet Pajama Party,
owns the Manitou Springs Center for Photography
and has almost gotten into fights by confronting people who throw their cigarette
butts on the ground!
Donna Ward: A Donna
owned and managed the greatest coffee shop in Manitou Springs,
Stanley Arbuckle's
Cafe, which was a major asset to the community. Sadly, the shopped closed when
the Old Spa Building was condemned in 1999. (For the record, the closing was not her
fault. Slumlord Bill Shirley
grossly neglected the building.) Donna has befriended
and encouraged MANY in town and has found beautiful ways to bless people.
Without getting into specifics, Donna is an angel in this town.
6) Commitment to Giving Steve Food
Kendra Morrell: D Kendra has never given Steve food.
After observing Donna Ward capitalize on the "food issue,"
Kendra offered (almost mechanically)
to buy Steve dinner, which he declined. Early in the campaign, Steve hinted to Kendra that
if she baked him cookies
and surprised him (long before Karen in Illionis did),
she would land a fun, positive
campaign article. However, she never did.
Boki Evans: C
Boki has generously spotted Steve food and drinks at Spice of Life
Cafe occasionally. Satisfactory.
Donna Ward: A
Donna usually gives Steve something to eat when he visits the
Ward residence.
Even at her workplace, Donna often finds something to offer him in the way of
goodies. Lastly, Donna titled a menu item "The Garufi Special" during her coffee
shop days.
7) Commitment to Helping Steve Get a Girlfriend
Kendra Morrell: D
Kendra has made no comments and completely dodged
the issue on the voter guide.
Boki Evans: C
Boki has given very encouraging words to Steve about "finding the right one."
Donna Ward: C
Like Boki, Donna has also been very positive. Once in awhile Donna tells
Steve that she knows a woman whom she plans to "set up" with Steve,
but has never actually followed through.
