Diff’rent Strokes
Public disciple has thankfully evolved from the corporal military practices of the Napoleonic Wars yet at last night’s city council meeting viewers were treated to a modern day replacement for the navel ceremony of witnessing punishment as the Republican Party publically “touched up” their own.
This discomforting “open mike” session brought us former Republican Party district leader and “whip” Sis D’Angelo slipping her cat-o-nine tails out of the bag and laying a clean dozen lashes on the new administration for municipal malingering as they sat seized to their chairs.
Leaving aside the question as to whether each and every lash was deserved, the simple fact is that much of importance seems undone and unchanged and this puzzles and saddens those who supported the clean broom movement.
Additional citizen discomfort awaited those watching Judge Carey later illuminate that apparently little or nothing has been done to form and seat the taxpayer drawn legal committee promised and pre-tasked by the new administration to rationalize and reorganize our wayward legal spending.
If fact it seemed that with the meritorious Mr. Pickup now installed – a similar “fix is in” vetting process would now begin for Ms. Wilson. This looked suspiciously Plunkett-tonian in style and substance and no one living here will soon forget the past administration’s odious shenanigans and pratfalls in their pretzel-twisting abuse of our environmental laws.
I say good riddance to real corporal punishment in all its forms but like a hot stove touched in error, a lesson highlighted by pain is one recalled. The voters were told the city would be whipped into shape – let’s please not falter in that goal.
Ted darling –
Slow down on the keypad – your typos are off the hook.
You did rally and manage to somehow tie Kevin Plunkett to the current state of inertia on our esteemed City Council —
although I don’t know that I’d spell “Plunketttonian” with 3 Ts.
Regarding NAVEL —
a good rule to remember ( don’t say I’ve never done anything for you, big guy )
NAVAL is to hazing
what NAVEL is to gazing.
I just made that up, but I like it.
For all your military allusions and metaphors I thought you’d differentiate the sailors from the fruit… er ah… the body part…oh never mind.
They’re probably linked in some people’s minds, no?
Naval/Navel – hilarious! Should be taught to all schoolchildren, alongside “I” before “E”…
Yikes and thanks fellow writers – I plum missed that one!

And look at that now corrected un-disciplined use of discipline. Relying on MS Word spell check is like relying on government committees for budget fixes.
