Is my phone on fire? Well, maybe it's just a peppermint...

I was told by someone in the know that I should make sure and give Dewey's interview a once-over. Quite an interesting read:

Mayor Bartlett admitted that if the FOP had agreed upon the proposal that included JAG funds there would have been no layoffs. This investigator then asked Mayor Bartlett how then, if officers had to be laid off before they could make reapplication for JAG funds to be used, could they offer JAG funds to avoid layoffs. Mayor Bartlett responded by saying the he did not know the answerto that but admits that the proposals to the FOP are approved by him.

This investigator then stated, for this to be true, (that layoffs could have been prevented of the FOP. voted to accept the proposal), then they would have had to make application for the reallocation of grant funds before the layoffs actually occurred. The Mayor responded by stating, "I might have been mistaken. I guess I will have to reevaluate my position on that one then." This investigator then stated that apparently someone was aware that JAG funds could be applied for to prevent layoffs because that was what was offered and Mayor Bartlett replied, "That's probably the case."

Mayor Bartlett would not say that his position was incorrect and again said that he would have to reevaluate his position on that one. He then said that he wanted to make a phone call and that he would call me back and give me a better answer. I told Mayor Bartlett that I would rather sit here and talk about it and he replied, "I'm sure you would but I don't want to." Mayor Bartlett then got up and said that he had to make a phone call and said that he didn't want to be painted into a corner. Mayor Bartlett then asked this investigator to wait for him and he would be back. The Mayor then walked out and closed the door and did not return for approximately 15 minutes.

When questioned further about this, Mayor Bartlett said that he was going to defer to Terry and that he can't recall the information that I was asking and that he had to "refresh his information." When asked who he talked to when he left the room, Mayor Bartlett said twice that it was not important and that he was going to let Terry answer his question and said that he will give you my answer.

Further, when asked how he authorized something the he didn't know he could get or even apply for, Mayor Bartlett paused for a very, very long time apparently thinking about his answer and then Mayor Bartlett asked if I smelled something burning. He said that he smelled something electrical, took his cell phones out of his pocket and sniffed them and asked me again if I smelled that. I told him no each time and he said, "I guess it was the peppermint I just ate." There was no odor of anything burning in the room either before or after this point.

Wow.  And we voted this guy in?  Sheesh.

One is unable to change the charter by ordinance,  The path being taken by the council is like a pack of dogs barking around  the tree at the squirrel that left years ago.  The councilor's as individuals are not immune from slander. The archives of the election board on N. Denver shows the attempts to change the charter over the last several years. It could be wise for some of the councilors to start digging their fox hole before the "powers to be" take aim.

Finally someone has a solution to our problems. A firing squad. That is, a squad that should be fired? Or set on fire? Or is it a squad of foxes we're going to set dogs on to?

Wait, I had a thought for the story line..."slanderous foxes squirrel out of their holes before barking dogs chase them into the election board on N. Denver where "powers to be" have been hiding for years.

Yeah, thats it.

Hmmm, the "Vibravoid" version...
Now this one is trippy:

My, how times have changed 

If someone doesn't use that song in a commercial when running against Bartlett next election, assuming he is dumb enough to run , I will be sorely disappointed.

The federal grand jury was convened in Arkansas to investigate the corruption in the city of Tulsa.  Even with this the controlling factors have stopped the going forward on the issues.  It takes federal action to settle the accusations being  thrown around, but where are the checks and balances in the instant situation?  It is especially hard to explain to those who cannot even read or insert the meaning intended in the blank parts between the lines.  Tulsa wanted a single person to control. They got it after several attempts with now some thinking it was done in haste.  Regardless of the media's reporting's, my money would be placed on the mayor, not only to show but to prevail.

Great!  Now my phone really is on fire.

Hey at least you're getting signal!  Or do you not have the iPhone4?

I'm still doing good.

So it be in case of slander, unless the cause is proven, the unemployment lines for attorneys will be greatly reduced as juries considers an employee loosing a $600,000 dollar job in cases of other venue change.  Who is being setup?  $600,000 salary plus cost and punitive damages?  Have a good fun filled day. It could be like the cry "fire in the hole" on the wooden sailing ship.

What is an iPhone4?  I thought that they were sending messages in Tulsa by beating on a hollow log with a club.

Now Mayor Bartlet (sic) has hired an attorney so he can fully focus on the business of the city.  I'd sure hate to see how things would be going if he was terribly distracted based on what we've seen out of his admin so far. 

Anyone have Mark Perkins' phone number?

That's too technologically advanced for you...
