I'm a Miserable Bastard

My regular readers already know this, but let me remove all doubt. I'm as mean as cat shit. Earlier this week, I moaned that Northampton County Council's agenda for last night's meeting listed only one frickin' item of business. That's an insult to the workers, I said. Taxpayers, too, I added.  So last night, when I saw Council Prez Peg Ferraro before the meeting, she was somewhat apologetic. My response was to rip her out for having a meeting at all.

"Why the hell didn't you cancel it?" I demanded. "People are falling on their ass all over the place. I went down on Northampton and it took three Panto Plows to get me up again. And while I was down, some bastard gave me a ticket!"

"Well, Bern, under the Home Rule Charter, we can't cancel."

"So now you follow the Charter?" I asked. "Brown's been in office for over a year and he hasn't started."

That's the way I get. I am a miserable bastard.

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.
