repukes can't run city governments either

[leftofthedial]

the repuke-infested city government in my city pissed me off twice this week:

1. the repuke-infested council and repuke mayor tried to swap a gorgeous city park property with amazing views up and down the front range and of the city for a drainage ditch. It was some sort of sweetheart deal for a Canadian developer buddy of the mayor's. Outraged voters forced a referendum vote and the deal was defeated.

2. Thursday, a few hours before our latest snow started falling, two weeks after we got three feet of snow and a week after we got another foot and a half, long after the streets had gone more slushy than icy, the repuke-infested city government finally sent a plow down our street. It deposited a 3-foot-thick, 4-foot-high embankment of slush and ice on my car, up under my car, in front of my car and behind my car. All just in time for single-digit temperatures and another 8 inches of snow. So, Friday morning, my car was half-encased in a 3-foot-thick block of ice. I waited until today to try to excavate and spent five and a half frigging hours with a hammer, a screwdriver ice pick and my snow shovel, trying to get my car out. Prior to the fucking plow, I had shoveled out a parking place and had no trouble getting in and out or navigating the icy street. My neighbors stopped by in sympathy. They plan to just leave their cars until it melts.

I seriously believe I could have gone postal about 4:00 this afternoon.

1. About that #1.

They'll try again. When it comes to sweetheart deals, they never give up. They just keep looking for back doors or ways to amp up their power. Stay vigilant.

2. I read about the flu of 1918 and apparently Philly was way worse off then

New York in terms of services and always had been.

now we all know about Tammany Hall but apparently the Republicans had control of Philly for decades and well...

3. when not in office

repukes spend 24X7 fighting against government, criticizing it, undermining it, denigrating it, trying to destroy it


when in office, repukes spend 24X7 lining their pockets


they are good for nothing.
