They put him in cold storage and he will be thawed when needed again for cloning or other stuff.

I never cared for Frank Fasi while he was in office with all the shenanigans he pulled, but the guy had a lot of guts and the smarts and he made it all work getting himself elected Mayor of Honolulu for 22 years, and I have to admire him for that. He became 86 years young in August.

Hawai`i elections get boring? Is that because all politicians, regardless of party affiliation, appear to be equally corrupt? (Yeah - like that's unique to Hawai`i...)

Re: Where's uncle frank?

I loved Frank. I have little trust and faith in politicians as a class, but it's a bonus if they can at least also be decisive and occasionally entertaining. The man spoke his mind, damn the torpedos. Even when he called environmentalists "wackos" and attacked the gay rights movements (both moves that would generally offend me personally), I chuckled more than growled.

Building up TheBus, stomping the T-shirt vendor plague in Waikiki, rescuing Hanauma Bay, pushing affordable housing, building satellite City Halls, backing mass transit... and as icing on the cake, a tendency to get a little wacky and make entertaining headlines now and then.

His time has passed, and I can say I don't think he can or should return to public service... but compared to the debacles that followed, I have to say I miss those days.

Yeah, I never did hear any stories about him such as what just came out about the legislator copping a feel of a sleeping passenger sitting next to him on a flight.
Frank was pretty straight-forward, like him or not. Oahu has a relatively great bus service, thanks to Frank.

And you probably never heard any stories about occurrences of domestic abuse every time he lost an election, or so I heard from someone who had heard that someone had heard he had.

The legislator I was referring to was just CONVICTED, hardly "just a rumor".

Sure was. For goodness sake! If you're gonna persue a career in politics, keep your hands to yourself, don't unzip anyone's fly, let alone your own! Talk about a lapse in judgment!

Re: Where's uncle frank?

This could perhaps be the topic of a new thread:
"Logical excuses why you unzipped the next-seat passenger's pants".
Only problem is, I can't think of a single logical excuse!

anyone who destroys a locally (and nationally) well loved Waikiki landmark, esp. based on a personal grudge, deserves derision and will lose alotta points in my book. what he did was not pono.
