Dear Blog Guy, I heard there’s a place in Spain where everybody on the town council dresses like Elvis Presley. Is this true?
Boy, things sure do get blown out of proportion. No, just one of the town councillors dresses like Elvis. He’s Ariel Santamaria, a former mailman. When he ran for election he said he would turn the town square into a nudist pool, paint the town hall pink, and plant marijuana in the parks.
By the way, what I like about our photo caption below is that we used (R) to show which one is Santamaria, just to make clear that the guy in the suit and tie in the back row isn’t the one who’s dressed like the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll.

- Posted by Lady WeaselPeople such as Santamaria only help to bring the legacy of the REAL Elvis into disrepute.
Why can’t they lead their own lives?
Very Sad.
