Either "deficit" or "deficiency", leaving “deficient” to describe the 3rd district’s leadership vacuum.

Hey, that’s not your garden variety vacuum … that’s a crater on 15th Street, and what are those city garbage trucks doing parked at the bottom of it? We demand a full investigation … of Auntie V’s behavior at the polling station last November. Was it real, did it really happen, or is Randy Hubbard already launching pre-emptive strikes?

No, wait … it now appears that falsified data is to blame for the subject heading, seeing as we’ve never received the proper information, although in fact it might be explained by the deleterious effects of all that Kool-Aid consumption undertaken behind the bolted doors of the palatial $2 million brewery we’re building with taxpayer money.

That’s right: Radicalism is God’s way of saying that you’re making too much sense.

Of course, one tends to become supremely paranoid when an anonymous troglodyte informs you that your councilman should sue you for libelous and slender. Nah, wouldn’t happen; he’s too busy compiling random lists of city expenditures sans meaningful context or explanation, pretending that it constitutes a revelation, subsequently exploring the parameters of Dewey Heights epistemology (It Is What It Is … Darlings), and finally concluding with this latest in a series of nonsensical gems:

Deficient is the result of lack of fiscal preparation.

Stunning. Like Bob Dylan said, “from the Grand Coulee Dam to the Capital.”

New Albany’s city council reconvenes tonight, and the Tribune examines the current status of firefighter hiring and new police cars in a Wednesday article. The agenda can be viewed here. The smoking ordinance remains on the back burner, so continue smoking 'em if you've got 'em.


We'll be back some time late tonight with all the gory details.

There is scuttlebut on the street Mr. Coffey is going to try to do something about the firefighters, and their hiring method -- which is conflicting with what was first talked about. There is something coming out of committee, but I don't remember what it is.

You hear so much stuff. As I have also heard The New Albanian had lunch with former Mayor Doug England the other day, I'm surely anxious for the accounting of same, with the writing style he utilizes.

Wish I could be at Council tonight. Even if you show up at 7:00 the list will already be filled out...gotta get there early.

The New Albanian said...

The reason why I haven't written about it is (a) the lunch was merely social, and a grand time was had by all (both); and (b) if I refrain from talking about it, I get to enjoy the spectacle of gossip being conjured out of nothing to explain a phenomenon that many don't know how (or if) to interpret.

Geez, I suppose I'm going to have to arrive at 6:30 to get a seat. They really need to consider finding a bigger room.

Too funny. I understand. Yes, they do need a bigger room. Funny...

good luck at the circus tonight. I look forward to reading your recap of the show tonight.
Maybe one day I can get down there!
