Lies, bicycles and the SOLNA spitwad cesspool.

It’s a rainy day, and not a very good one for a bicycling, so let’s hit the mailbag for this timeless encapsulation of envy, slander and cowardice:

Recalling that the blog site in question is an intellectual cesspool in far more urgent need of repair than New Albany’s sewer system ever was, Laura’s predictably immediate defense of such craven behavior on the part of her ego support apparatus is revealed as disingenuous at best – and at worst, utterly psychotic.

I have explained repeatedly that this blog is for the citizens, and for political activism by those of us who care about where all the money is going and WHY we're in such dire straits … this is an electronic community bulliten board. People can put anything up here in comments that they have a question about. ANYTHING … we don't get nasty about it, or let it interfere with our mission or our demeanor with one another. Honesty & accountability are what we are begging for from the administration. If that were happening, none of this would be necessary.

Folks, it doesn’t get any clearer than this. To be anonymous is to be beyond the reach of accountability, and to tell a lie is to be dishonest.

Consequently, Laura clearly states that if honesty and accountability are lacking in those public officials that she and her dozen ardent Kool-Aid drinkers persist in perceiving as the enemy (and this by no means has been proven), then dishonesty and unaccountability are by necessity eligible for deployment as bludgeons for the use of her merry band of congenitally underachieving malcontents.

For the record, here was my response to my anonymous snarler:

Actually, I have my driver’s license right here in my wallet, just where it's been all along. Nasty rumor, that, and one abetted by -- yes -- anonymous scalawags.

Biking's a wonderful sport. I commute to work and back, saving lots of gasoline cash in the process.

Each day, it's great cardiovascular exercise.

I don't have a sticker for the bike at present, but I'm planning on making one that reads, "These machines kill fascists," and shows brewing equipment and a bicycle.

Thanks for asking! I love sharing the joys of bicycling with people interested in learning.

Okay -- perhaps I exaggerated just a bit in the last sentence …
