When politics trumped statistics, the result we now have putrefying at our feet was made inevitable.
HOwie has on two extreme liberals (Krugman and Tumulty), plus his liberal self and one conservative (Medved) to discuss the media and the meltdown of the campaign coverage.
Morning, AB, All....
Had to sing in the choir this morning.
Seems some of the church folk didn’t like that the choir only sang at the Sunday 10AM mass so now we are singing at ALL masses, sometimes in the middle of the damn night, like this morning.
So there’s this local yokel guy who ran for MY district’s councilman. He ran last time, two years ago, against a Democrat and lost by THREE VOTES.
So I liked him and put his sign on my lawn.
Then he gets this idea that the county should HIRE two attorneys instead of using outside law firms.
He (name is Judson Bennett) even used that notion as part of his campaign commercial so this was evidently some kind of big deal to him.
So on this little Delaware Blog I like to frequent various of us kept asking...WHY hire lawyers to work for the county? Remembering please that we have Fannie Mac and Freddie Mae, two fine, fine government run enterprises in a business gubmint has no business being in.
His answer is that by hiring our own lawyers we would avoid the “appearance of impropriety” and still I have no idea what this means.
So I didn’t vote for the guy, go to hell. This was a primary and his Republican opponent won the nod for the GOP and I’m fine with this.
Hire lawyers to work for the county? Delaware has the most powerful public employees union on this planet, hand to God, and now we would have lawyers in the union and we can’t fire them unless hassle with the union! We wanted to know what’s this about “impropriety” and to please explain.
Bennett did not. So he lost.
So RINOS in Delaware get on this Blog and sniff into the air and tell Judson he would have won, yes he would, if only the people who could not vote for him...COULD HAVE!
In other words those conservative fools who kept demanding answers of this candidate just weren’t smart enough.
I mean...if Germans could vote for Obama...hey, maybe he’d win. Damn the electorate so stupid as to not see the wisdom of this genius. Myself, I just wanted answers. Judson Bennett never gave me answers, silly me. He wanted to expand government and my vow to myself is, at the grass roots level, to fight against everything against conservative principals cause you elect these guys and next thing you got ...well Fannie Mae. Evidently a bunch of other voters agreed with me...silly fools we are who didn’t like this idea and demanded more information.
So one guy on this Blog puts up that sap about the pathetics Bennett had voting for him and if only he was running in, say, Wilmington, where all are wise and knowing, then Judson would have won.
Well I took this as an insult and guess what? I can write a word or two given a chance.
So I posted a comment about the insult this writer made against the voters of my councilmatic district, declaring that Judson just had the wrong voters is all. I was a bit snarky about it although I know you find it hard to believe.
So the guy answers me. He calls me names, casts aspersions on my parents’ marital status and says I am the biggest child to cross his Blogging path. I had called the notion of having the “wrong” voters as the problem to be a bit childish and I stand by this assertion.
I am going to win, damn it. I bear my bruises proudly.
