Council Members care, but Dave doesn't.
Q:Dave, 3 AM. A terrorist issues an ultimatum. Unless you meet his outrageous demands, he will drop the twi earworms, McArthur Park and It's A Small World on unsuspecting Cleveland. Thousands could die. An millions could be scarred for life. He gives you only seventy minutes to respond. How do you valiantly tak charge of the situation

I wanna be a quarterback, just like my idol, Michael Vick!

BJJB, beat me to it. Rumor has it that here in Atl, "Who Let the Dogs Out" has been banned from the stadium's music system...

Well, there's a man who can avoid using political double talk.

"seems" like those two guys have a "bit" of "history"...

I'm sure we'll be hearing from the "Rev." Al and Jesse Jackson.
I'm sure he was arrested simply because of his skin tone and the councilman had it out for him.
I wish politicians all communicated with such vigor of things that matter.

Sad but true: My parents, who live between Cleveland and Akron, moved from Southwest Florida to Ohio. We all all "Clevelanders" now. (Yet, thankfully, C-town is not the "city" referred to in my name)

I am horrified. The punctuation is atrocious.
Fortunately, this poor alleged purveyor of pharmaceuticals will no longer have to ply his trade since his dear mother is consulting with an attorney.

Dave. Look no further. You've found your presidential speechwriter.

Good for that councilman. Although if it were me, I think I would've just been content that this guy got arrested and left it at that rather than being deliberately in-your-face confrontational. That was a major "diss" and some of his 8th Avenue homeboys (other than the one that ratted him out) might decide it's payback time. I hope that doesn't happen. I like to see public officials like this guy.

Well, isn't that special. Not politic, but I like a good rant, and the guy probably had it coming.
My favorite "letter to a constituent" was from the mid-19th Century and I wish I could remember which member of Congress wrote it. I'm paraphrasing but it went something like this:
"Dear Sir,
You say that in my campaign I promised to reforest the Sierras and I have been in Washington for three months without doing so. You are a jackass. Why don't you take a giant running jump and go straight to Hell."
Or something like that.

Well, he's not hiding. Look at the cc: list.
It's a little over the top, but it seems like the guy deserves it. But, more importantly, people named their kids "Arsenio"?
:P
