It's all about how you feel the morning after.

Life happens too fast for you ever to think about it. If you could just persuade people of this, but they insist on amassing information.
--Kurt Vonnegut (1922-2007)

It seems like only yesterday that NAC’s Bluegill regaled readers with striking video coverage of 3rd district councilman Steve Price’s embarrassing gaffe at the last city council meeting. Missed it? Go here: "Why don't we get this two or three years ago?"

Even before that classic video moment, Bluegill deconstructed CM Price’s incorrect characterization of the city’s 2% constitutional debt limit: Playing the Percentages and New Albany is Broke (with plenty of money).

The public record since then has been predictably free of counter arguments on the part of the accidental councilman, because it’s Day 44 of the Steve Price blogwatch. His last blog posting appeared on March 6. Is silence golden? You be the judge.

But never fear, campers: Along with his tireless and tiring band, the Same Song Singers, CM Price will again be performing live this evening on the third floor of the City County Building. It’s a city council Thursday, and we direct you to Eric Scott Campbell’s preview in the Tribune for all the gritty details: Large funding requests hit New Albany City Council.

Here’s the council meeting agenda, courtesy of diligent city clerk Marcey Wisman.

Meanwhile over at New Albany 15A, Coop asks: Council Code of Conduct??

If I were an industry rep thinking of relocating a major business to this city, and I happened to drop by the meeting I witnessed, I would frankly reconsider the move.

Earlier today, NAC looked at The Wizard of Westside and his self-imposed stormwater information imbroglio. A couple of days back, the Highwayman examined CM Coffey’s response: Finally- A Word From the Coffey House.

By CM Coffey's response, we seen once again a reluctance on the Councilman's part, to participate in a solution but rather be a promoter of division and discontent within the workings of our city government.

Aargh ... it’s the senior editor’s turn to endure the legislative machinations. I’ll see you on Friday morning with the gory details. It's bound to get better, right?

As a closing note, there are times during a Friday morning council hangover when you might see one or more of a certain colored animal: They're big.

Could not make it last night. My wife and I went to a concert last night at the KY Center. Come to think of it, it was called "Beat the Donkey". It sure beat the hell out of watching a group of people beating a dead horse.

By the way, I am always quiet. You must have me mixed up with someone else!
