New Albany is a state of mind … but whose? Since 2004, we’ve been observing the contemporary scene in this slowly awakening old river town. If it’s true that a pre-digital stopped clock is right twice a day, when will New Albany learn to tell time?

Open thread: Six degrees of sep ... oops, I mean city council meeting of Monday, March 2.
Not to mention the equally informative work session afterwards.
I'm swamped today, so scan the preceding "live" blogging posts and discuss 'em if you got 'em.
Or, conversely, consider another lost opportunity for neighborhood unity.
The City Council, as a body, does not recognize logical argument. The lesson reinforced last night is that it's all politics and one-upmanship. Facts do not matter.
They'll claim one thing when it's politically advantageous. They'll completely contradict that claim with a straight face when that's advantageous. There is nothing else.
I'm glad you all know what happened. I couldn't pay attention as I felt like I was in sixth grade biology with the joker to my right(hoosier) snickering at every mention of a private part during Ms. Wisman's astute reading of the sex ordinance :)
Hoosier daddy, My feeling on journalism can be paraphrased in the last line of bluegill's above posting. I was taught in J school the golden rule: professional ethics only apply when dealing with ethical professionals...now I have to go and write a correction cause due to your juvenile snickering, I thought Ms. Marcey said valve, not vulva, makes a big difference...I'll explain later
They would say they're not political. They're just "here to encourage". Don't ask me. That's a very gray area in a lot of ways. Same sort of argument about some churches. Good question though.

I learned that intellectual vigor applies only to the "science" of secondhand smoke - and counting ROCK-hard bodies in the peanut gallery.

Sorry Daniel but you were forwarned about sitting in the ejaulatee row!
ReplyDeleteHaving said that it's nice to see your sense of humor.
Daniel S,
ReplyDeleteJust what did you expect to find in my pocket?
Whatever Lloyd. I saw you blush when Mr. Red said "We don't i.d. our regulars anymore"...
ReplyDeleteA map to candy mountain?
ReplyDeleteOn its website, ROCK claims to be a 501(c)(3) organization.
ReplyDeleteA question maybe our friends at the Tribune can answer: At what point does ROCK's political activities make it a taxable organization?
