I wake up screaming like I'm back down there
I learned a thing or two from King Larry don't you know
You better stay away from Copperhead Road
-- with profound apologies to Steve Earle
It's back to the council chambers tonight for the second of two September exercises in underachievement. Indeed, it looks like the beatings will continue until morale improves, and if you're an inveterate masochist like me, you'll be there at 7:30 p.m. as the Coffey Youth leads the crowd in various paeans to flags, deities and barbecued bologna.
For the official program, go here. For the newspaper preview and my column today, keep reading -- and remember, progressive pints before council makes a man healthy, stealthy and suitably benumbed.
G’town hoping New Albany council says yes to sewer deal tonight; Still no vote set for possible Coyle property purchase, by Daniel Suddeath (News and Tribune).It's tremendously ironic that Coffey chooses the underlined word in these comments. I used it in today's column, too, and we didn't even discuss it first.
“I want to see everything in black and white where what’s on paper cannot be construed to be something else,” Coffey said. “Something [Georgetown] agrees to and everyone else. That’s not been happening.”

But it was only the newspaper. Seems that a rumor was going around that City Hall might again try to put ordinance enforcement on the front burner — and what did Cappuccino think about that?
“Like I’ve said before, when it comes to the law, we have to be extra careful to avoid things that might be conscrewed as discriminatory. There’s a higher principle involved for these fine, tee-totaling, church-going, taxpaying folks who’ve made Westendia — I mean, New Albany — their homes. They have a right to expect a certain level of respect for their lifestyles.”
How's that for irony?
