Don’t we already have Tarot Card readers and Fortune Tellers at city hall annex?
Let’s see if there is no June 30, 2011 financial report to provide to the public (until we are into 2012 and the auditor tells the taxpayers), maybe Karnak can tell us how he sees a $150,000 surplus instead of the projected $2 Million-plus deficits projected previously?
And if you believe everything Karnak says does that make you a “magical thinker?” Is that the nature of our “shape shifter” Mayor who resides in the Annex?
Enjoying tapas while a Hillbilly band, featuring a belly dancer mermaid break-dances to reggae jazz! Isn’t that just the type of Bridgeport circus we need to get our minds off of serious City business? Thanks to Keith, PT Barnum can rest in Mountain Grove instead of re-appearing to provide strange and wonderful public entertainment.
