Mayor Jabberwocky's First Press Conference

[Jabberwocky]

Elections have concluded, and it's time to assemble the Mayor's government. Before that, however, I  must attend to a small matter.
It seems that being appointed Mayor went to my head. Suddenly I thought I was a Big Shot Politician. After two terms as MP of South Dingo Island, I left that constituency and began a new political party.  In my hubris, I renamed Taco City Surf City and tried to oust Margaux from his seat there. However,  the voters chastised me by placing me third! 
As a result, in a perfect pique of poutish, peevish petulance, I am returning the city to its former name, Taco City. This is not from largesse or magnanimity. It is, rather, my way of sulking sullenly, stamping my sandals feet and stalking off. If I can't have my way, you can take that. 
And, really, otherwise Margaux has to change the heading on their official documents and business cards. That's a lot of work.

IT IS THUS DECREED!

Mr. Mayor! Mr. Mayor! Congratulations again on successfully forming a Parliament and on upholding the pettiness of your predecessors! Tell me…how do you and your Parliament plan to address the recent Wabaloo infestation?

My Parliament will vigorously address the Wabaloo infestation...as soon as we determine what a Wabaloo is , and where to find them.

[Valentian Elysium]

That took a while to respond, Mr. Mayor

Mr. Mayor, have you any updates on the increasingly volatile Wabaloo situation?

I'm glad you asked that question. My top notch team of investigators, provided by Pink Penguin Professional Personal Protective Services, is currently engaged in trying to find an Walaboo. We will keep the public apprised as the situation develops.

Be careful out there. The Wabaloos are known for their ferocity.

The Mayor does not go out there. I delegate...or relegate, or some such. In short, I hire PPPPPS to track the ferocious Wabaloo. Penguins know no fear.

Wise choice. The PPPPPS are notorious for their wit and cunning as well as their indomitable will. We penguins are also not afraid to tangle with such feathered fiends.

[Jabberwocky]

So, then...Wabaloo have feathers?

Of course they do. Didn’t you know that?

[Jabberwocky]

Of course not. We haven't seen a specimen yet. I don't suppose you have a photo...

The Wabaloos are known for being photo-shy. They smash every camera they see.

Why do you persist with vicious attacks
Ungracious remarks re opponents?
It smacks of a lack of conviction
Admit you're under duress

[Jabberwocky]

I'm under duress now that I've been lambasted by a space lizard.

Mr. Mayor, what will it take for you to finally realize the gravity of the Wabaloo situation?

While my capable staff is assembling a Rapid Response Team, you, my good lady penguin, have failed to produce even one Wabaloo as evidence.

You cannot rely on me to find the Wabaloos. Like I have said before, they are notoriously elusive creatures. You’re the Mayor. You must solve this crisis!

Here is some photo evidence of their most recent destructive act:

[Jabberwocky]

That's just the detritus of a frat party.

[Liberdon]

Mr. Mayor, Jabberwocky, any updates on the Wabaloo invasion? My sources tell me that they have moved from a slow, subtle trickle of nefariousness to a downpour of evil on Taco Island. They must be stopped before even more damage is done!

[Tuga Nation's Dragon]

Perhaps Captain Hakketomat can be of assistance with his trebuchet

[Jabberwocky]

That might be the best idea you've ever had!

[Tuga Nation's Dragon]

He might ask for some sort of compensation, though...

[Jabberwocky]

Assuring the safety of Taco Island isn't payment enough?

[Tuga Nation's Dragon]

I'm not sure

[Hakketomat]

It isn't

[Tuga Nation's Dragon]

See?

[Jabberwocky]

I'm enormously disillusioned. I thought Hakke personified public service.

[Tuga Nation's Dragon]

He only personifies himself
