Right under our noses. We hie off after red herrings and while we are otherwise occupied, Trump is a busy little beaver inserting his followers into office. And what a crew they are.
We have a survivalist who has invented a packbow - some gizmo like a bow and arrow so one can survive when the world collapses. But hey, I thought there was no climate change or is the end of the world going to be because some fool pushes the button? Well, be assured, this dude is prepared for it all - or so he says. We have a Breitbart commentator and no, other than Bannon! So lucky we are! We have a conspiracy nut who took to the waves insisting that Hillary was ill, she wore a wool coat everywhere, and don't you think that the media took up the clarion call that Hillary was ill? Remember? What we do to ourselves.
Don't forget all those swamp critters, yup, the lobbyists that he has placed in office and of course, the high school grad - fresh off the stage from June. These people are inserted into the nitty gritty jobs, the ones which hold the local power and the ones who will be rooted in our governmental machinery and all the while we think we are so clever as we shout about his Cabinet people. Hell, they could go away and he will just find more and all the while under the table, there are his other appointees, all fine representatives of the extreme wing of society. Shame on us that we have allowed this.
And the deflection goes on. There is serious impact and implications from his dealings with Russia and its officials and yet what is everyone talking about now? Why how Obama got an impossible to get warrant to tap his phones. And the race is on!! Look at the horses out of the gate. Calling for information, calling for an investigation - of what? It does not exist!!! This is merely Trump et al at his best. Deflect and deflect. There is a truth about you coming out, well, just tell a bigger story, a better lie than ever so people will drop the first and go for the second. So what now, a search for the emperor's new clothes that do not exist? Yup. Just read the papers and see what is happening and by the way, if there actually was a warrant issued it was because a special court and judge approved it because there was heavy proof of foreign entanglement so Trump should watch his back. Yet the shouting now is about Trump's trumped up claim and what a bunch of fools we be. Hopeless, as we allow a deranged man and his followers to lead us by our noses and put our brains into sleep mode.
Ugh!! Enough of him and his this morning and back at the ranch what do we have. Why we have Lanny Howe, that great apologist for David Israel, writing another fallacious article re the whole broadband issue. The delegates just overwhelmingly said go Comcast, but nope, here we are, still arguing Atlantic and pray tell, does it not make your nose twitch and wonder what is in it for these people? Why does David Israel compliment Lanny on this article and then plump for it to go in the paper? Smell a rat?
Take a look. Lanny says we are better off with Atlantic because it will end in 2027 rather than 2029 for Comcast. Uh huh, but it will also start two years earlier, so the range is the same and oh dear, one more point. Just how do you think Comcast will react during those last two years of their contract with us if we go with Atlantic. Think they will rush over to help? I don't think so!! And Atlantic says they will have a tech on grounds? Wow! I am underwhelmed! One tech for the Village? So, what, waiting time for a repair will be how long exactly? Two months? Two years?
Lanny threatens us by stating that if we do not go with Atlantic we will be lost. Why? Because then Comcast will see they have no competition so they will be mean to us. Right, Lanny. Great business head you have. What we should do is grab the Comcast offer while it is there and stop with this Atlantic already. And by the way, first we heard three years were necessary for them to entrench themselves and now we hear 18 months. What next? Nine months, just like a baby and the baby being us for being the fools even as something passes from one hand to the other!!
Now Lanny states so knowledgeably that oh, they really do not have to dig a trench for they can lease things already in place. Huh? What is already in place and if it is there then who maintains it so if it breaks do we have to go thru Atlantic or some other unknown or does it take several days and weeks to go thru channels? Just look at what you are stating. The fact is that we never should have started this in the first place as the premises were illegal and against our by laws. David Israel had no right nor permission to negotiate broadband for the Village. He certainly had no right to sign a contract for a half million dollars with CSI. That is grounds for a charge of fiduciary irresponsibility and who knows, perhaps charges that could demand fines or worse. Not a lawyer, but it behooves one to ask that question. Even supposing, a big supposition and a bigger if, that only good was meant, it is and was still wrong and a dangerous precedent to set for future officers and presidents of UCO and yes, there will be other presidents.
So, please, David and Lanny, spare us this nonsense in the paper; it needs a lot of work already so do not add more damage to it. And please do not try to pass off your own writing for that of Lanny who what, suddenly has become a techie maven? Yup? Want the bridge or the tunnel?
Oh, one more thing. I handed in four requests for committees and the possibility of serving on them. Last time I was on the Board, David, you had a fit and swore there was no room or place for me in UCO. Well, now I will take up more room with my wheelchair, but where are my applications? Last time you threatened the chairs, commanding that they not appoint me a member and even one tough lady backed down under your threat so what now? Do I have to search the circular and rectangular files in UCO to find my discarded and neglected requests? Or do I have to raise this issue at the meetings including the delegate assembly? Your call, dear friend, your call, but my decisions too. And you know I do not go away, do I? My responsibility is to serve the people and I will fulfill that any which way I have to. I prefer the civil way. What about you?
I await your response. Could be interesting. And meanwhile I will occupy my time watching, thinking, calling out Trump, you and anyone else I feel needs it for this is America!
