They won't be making the Letterman show, and were unable to adopt a budget, but there were some pretty good one-liners at the December 1, 2011 Northampton County Council meeting.
Open Space
Environmentalist Linda Heindel: "We have students who don't know plants come from a seed."
Self-described Farmer's Daughter Peggy Powell: "Go to Walmart, buy a seed, buy a terracotta pot, and have at it."
As Budget Heads to Failure
Ron Angle: "We ought to have a Super Committee."
Ann McHale: "Ten thousand dollars is chump change when you're dealing with millions."
Morgue Put Off Another Year
Peg Ferraro: "I'm never gonna' live to see this morgue."
Tom Dietrich: "Northampton County is a good place to live, work and die."
Today's one-liner: "The shortest way to the distinguishing excellence of any writer is through his hostile critics." Richard LeGallienne

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.

Talk about Holiday Gifts...you've just given political candidates everywhere two fo the best one liners.Guess McHale will be donating $10,000 to chumps.
Angle comments alone could have filled the front page.
ReplyDeleteHe said he can't find enough manure he wishes he had more.
He should look in front of himself everytime he opens his mouth to talk. Huge piles abound.
unfortunately the joke is in the citizens of norco
ReplyDeleteNorthampton county citizens: You mean this monkey cage is our government?
ReplyDeleteIt all gets better January one when Angle is GONE!
ReplyDeleteThe Panto landslide allowed Werner to win but the voters were tired of Angle and his whackiness and making county council the laughing government of the valley. He only has himself to blame.
ReplyDeleteWhat's so funny about peace, love and understanding? I'm more sick of the Queen than Ron! She will not be missed at all. The Queen is dead..long live the new Queen or King? Who will be president of Council next year? Peg for Prez!
ReplyDeleteThe Queen quit 6 months ago.
ReplyDeleteRon was fired, the queen quit. There Is a difference!
