Thuggish Fatwa
Bravo our BI Review planting its - and our - standard firmly in the Kordonowy/Tooloee camp. "Feral council", indeed - how often do you spot deft dictionary play of *that* caliber these days? Meanwhile, over in the Letters section of the "Islander", Pedd-estrian henchman Jimmy Ølsen is camping it up for guffaws: It's all a devilish wheeze to play foot-in-mouth butler clown so we end up feeling sorry for His Peddy-ship and vote him in on name recognition, sympathy, and gratitude for the giggle. Deuced cunning. Might just work. Let's see after tonight's (Wednesday 9/7) debate, 7pm City Hall. What a very lively debate it should be tonight, to be sure. $64,000 question: Will Herr Peddy-Cure risk allowing his headstrong aide-de-camp to mingle with the gentry?
Stop Press: A bit unfair that the Review gets the sensible stuff and the Islander gets the nutters, but a splendid letter gracing today's Review from Emily Groff, asking why the excitable Ølsen is so keen to have Groff mère chucked in clinky.
