Regarding the legendary “Man with No Name,” and freshly inspired by the letter “D,” it’s high time we mount an organized, polite resistance to the tedious “state your name” ritual.
I propose that every speaker, when asked at the podium, simply adopt the exact same name. If I may be so bold, I suggest we all go with “Clovis.”
One simple, innocuous word that would send the usual Facebook political activist/news personality/lunatic crowd into orbit for weeks.
(Hi Penny!)
Of course, any consistent name would work — even a string of random letters if we prefer. The point is unity through harmless absurdity.
Naturally, the next escalation will be “show your state-issued ID,” “submit to a polygraph,” or some fresh indignity. We’ll cross that bridge with the same calm, coordinated spirit when we reach it.
Organized, soft resistance — cheerful, consistent, and impossible to paint as threatening — remains one of the most effective paths to reclaiming freedom.
Let’s make the word “Clovis” the new quiet rebellion.
At this point I believe every member of city council should be replaced. Seems the only thing they agreed on was Dave Mackies raise which in a city this size with its deplorable streets and sidewalks is irresponsible
Before I help you see some of the most problematic parts of your comment, I should say that I deeply respect women in politics. In fact, if I had my way, every single member of council would be a woman. So, please do not think I am trying to "speak down" to you, I'm just a friendly neighbor trying to make this a great place to live.
So. First of all. The only thing they could agree on was David Mackie's raise? I seem to remember that Paladino made a very negative controversy out of this, going behind David's back to a bunch of random people in town, spreading misinformation about how David didn't "deserve" to make 250,000 a year with generous benefits and a very good severance package. David, luckily, was able to call Paladino out for this and remind him who was the boss, really put him in his place.
Second, "deplorable" sidewalks and streets? I seem to remember you people didn't like that word way back when, when it was used about you and your racist politics. If you don't like our roads and sidewalks that much, then you should get on the horn and e-mail David about how you can get a special assessment going on your road to fix it.
And all members replaced! Replaced by PhD Groyper Graduates??? Who will pick out these "new" people and make sure that they're reliable?
Who-ah! Woo-ah! Huzzah--drei cheers for Ze Gutter Press!
Yes, I know, it has not been since my family was run out of their sinecures at the Hofburg by that upstart Corsican that a Von Benderr has lauded ze Gutter Press. You Cowboy-McDonalds boys, you "PhD" students who know little else than ze grunt and scratch, normally I must...hmm, how do you say...harangue, nay, "hog-tie" you for ze scatological attacks on the gelded and ennobled; but today, I am an "enjoyer," yes, as you imbeciles say.
You have taken ze first great leap, you see: you have begun to haltingly grasp ze basics of animal breeding. My pack of 33rd generation Weiner dogs, you know, they break out in ze hives merely from looking upon your filthy mutt population! When I come calling to the court of the von Mackie, I must blindfold my pack of beasts, lest they take ill at the sight of your pitbulls; nay, I must blindfold myself, lest I turn green at the sight of zer monstrous "pitmommies!"
I vill take your message to the Von Mackie; perhaps ze King will have mercy on his most favored courtier, if not upon his filthy subjects...
EVERYBody been askin Stu, ""where'd the new pizza planet go??" n "whys the pizza goin bye by?" WELL, I can tell you THE Real Story....

"Penny’s version of the Bright&Beautiful Future, in which she is relentlessly persecuted by handsome and powerful men."
Are you sure you didn't mean "Penny's version in which she is relentlessly *pursued* by handsome and powerful men?

You got that one right, Ms. Herren.
