DanG: Yo, DFO, Do You Want Public Involved?
DanG: Oh, Dave! Such jocularity! Last night during the Kootenai County GOP Central Committee Meeting, the evil part after the public is dismissed, it was noted that I'm appearing in Huckleberries quite often these days. I admitted that it must be because I'm both naughty and interesting. Then we all laughed about how the county got ripped off for $3500 and, man, it was a good time. So the real question is, do you like the public getting involved? or do you like the public getting involved as long as they agree with and obey the government? How about some other harder questions: what is the mayor doing about the morale level at the police department? How about a police substation out on East Sherman where there are signs of gang activity? Or are these questions as illegitimate as a Hollywood couple's first baby?
DFO: Above all, DanG, I enjoy crossing swords with worthy citizens like you. You and Spen-sah are fun. Dedicated. Well-spoken. Naughty and interesting, indeed. And wrong-headed, as often as you are correct. I'm glad you're out there fighting your windmills. In a broken-clock-is-right-twice-a-day kind of a way, you're doing good. You might be decent as an elected oaficial (although bomb throwers rarely make good oafishals, with Ron Rankin being an exception). (BTW, you've twice skirted a response to my question re: running for City Council.) You and Spencer have helped your causes by appearing often in HBO. You get bruised here. But your willingness to remain in the fray has gained you fans and grudging admiration from detractors here. However, it hasn't gained you a free pass from me. If I think you're off base, I'm going to say so. I've never been a shrinking violet.
