Turkey Of The Year Nominations
November 25th, 2010 · 9 Comments · Analysis and Comment
Where do we start? So many gaffes, blunders, gobbledygooks. What are your Turkey Of The Year nominations? I mean, we cannot give out just one award can we? The obvious one, Bridgeport’s Registrar of Voters Office, shouldn’t be led to the slaughterhouse without a little company. We’re egalitarian about these things at OIB. Lots of [...]

The Soap Opera, Taste Of Honey, Blonde Banshee, And The Super’s Ed Contract
July 22nd, 2010 · 25 Comments · City Budget, City Council, Education, State Politics
In the ongoing soap opera As The Layoffs Turn (hopefully there won’t be any), it doesn’t appear pink slips will be issued this week. Looks like the city is close to finalizing the savings it needs to begin closing an $8 million budget gap as a result of negotiations from uniformed services without layoffs, the largest piece coming from [...]

Jesus, it’s hot. It’s making me delusional (more than normal). So hot I swear I saw Pete Finch’s arresting officers present him with a street sign that said “This way to the watering hole.” So hot that former State Senator Ernie Newton, the Moses of his people, refused to part the Pequonnock River. (We must conserve water.) [...]

The Punishment Barr
June 21st, 2010 · 6 Comments · Analysis and Comment, City Council, News and Events
I say proper punishment is locking up Evette Brantley and Cecil Young in a room and forcing them to listen to Roseanne Barr singing the National Anthem. From Keila Torres, Connecticut Post: Cecil Young has been issued an infraction for “creating a public disturbance” at the City Council meeting on May 17. As you are all [...]

Okay, time for the annual OIB gift-giving season with plenty of stocking-stuffed sarcasm. What, ya think Santa wouldn’t arrive in time to adorn our favorite pols? Not like the city’s toothless tiger Ethics Commission would do anything about OIB’s gratuities to public officials … speaking of that … For the Bridgeport Ethics Commission that sanctioned [...]
