I would not be so foolish as to associate myself with a claim that Democrats are by nature dumb or dishonest, or Republicans inherently smart and pure. Indeed, simply calling yourself a Republican does not make you smarter or honest anymore than calling yourself a journalist makes you objective.

Blind partisan loyalty and partisanship in general keeps the city from shining.

And "discussion on a levy" was NOT mentioned in the motion to go into executive session:

There was nothing precluding discussion of a levy in public prior to Executive Session. Why would such a topic even be discussed in such a fashion?

Makes more sense than a JEDD.

Would Spartan3204 like to provide a sampling of some truth not reported by Bert or Denise?

Thanks for that, Bert! I do hope you expand upon this in your paper, not just in 'Stirfry.' Speaking on matters of public concern is just that - matters of public concern and public employees are constitutionally protected in doing so.

Hey,Jeff. Heard one of the escapees was the one who stole your carpet. You know, the one that brought that whole room together.

Ohhh my my. The narcissism of small differences an the folly of misinterpretation.

Mike Whitney, a popular Internet commentator, observed on August 11:

“Washington’s bloody fingerprints are all over the invasion of South Ossetia. Georgia President Mikhail Saakashvili would never dream of launching a massive military attack unless he got explicit orders from his bosses at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. After all, Saakashvili owes his entire political career to American power-brokers and US intelligence agencies. If he disobeyed them, he’d be gone in a fortnight. Besides an operation like this takes months of planning and logistical support; especially if it’s perfectly timed to coincide with the beginning of the Olympic games. (another petty neocon touch) That means Pentagon planners must have been working hand in hand with Georgian generals for months in advance. Nothing was left to chance.”8

“Good, better, best. Never let it rest, until your good is better and your better is the best.”

Wouldn't it be great if all our politicians made that their mantra?
