Citizens Working For A Better Bridgeport will host a public forum on Monday August 19th from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at the Bridgeport Public Library, 925 Broad Street Downtown, to seek input on the candidates for Board of Education and City Council the community action group is considering for endorsement. Sign-up sheets will be available for those who can assist candidates with campaign help such as phone calls and walking.
“The primary is fast approaching on September 10th 2013, time is critical!” according to an e-blast issued by the organization. “We need your support at this critically important time in Bridgeport’s history, and we really hope to see you there! The time has come for us to stand behind candidates who put the best interests of the citizens in Bridgeport and the kids in our school system in the forefront of their minds.”
Bridgeport resident David Walker, former comptroller general of the United States, serves as treasurer of the organization’s political action committee.
Putting the cart before the horse?
The accompanying horse and cart image looks preposterous. That’s as it should be as the word ‘preposterous’ entered the English language precisely to describe such back to front imagery. Of course, ‘pre’ derives from Latin and is a standard prefix, that is, it is ‘at the front.’ Likewise, the Latin ‘post’ means ‘at the back,’ so ‘preposterous’ actually denotes the normal arrangement of things, with the front at the front and the back at the back. ‘Postprerous’ might have been a better choice of word but, like ‘head over heels,’ which also makes no sense, it’s too late to change now.
And your point is, Fluckarella?
