City Council Races By GUEST COMMENTATOR
The Jeffersonville city council at-large race is all but sewn up on the Democrat ticket. Dennis Julius will lead the ticket followed by Nathan Samuels and Dustin White. Ron Clark is in the race but nobody can really figure out why.
More interesting is the city council at-large race on the Republican ticket. After Matt Owen, The Kid with the Big Game, or, “The College Dropout” as I like to call him, stepped out of the mayor’s race, his media hype and name recognition has dropped to a crawl. One can only imagine what sort of seedy backroom deal the dropout was involved in.
The dropout is facing Ron Grooms replacement Wayne Carter, GOP heavy hitter Abe Navarro, boat person Kathy Kennedy-Bupp, and Republican strongman Win Walker.
My guess is the final outcome will come something like this.
Carter will likely move on to the general election because he’s shown that can serve the council efficiently in the absence of Grooms.
Navarro will proceed due to his name recognition and history in Clark County.
Walker, who’s been around for quite sometime has gathered a great deal of support among the party and will likely come out ahead of the dropout.
Owen will finish slightly behind Walker.
Bupp will finish in last place with only a fraction of the vote.
And they’re off…

One point: ..."Carter....he’s shown that can serve the council 'efficiently' in the absence of Grooms".
Also, is anybody really watching or paying ANY attention to Carter on the city council?
It doesn't seem to have been too terribly difficult to date.
A nice person but there isn't much action.
Will he SPEAK as to the need for a LOT more information and public involvement
BEFORE we spend
$177,000,000
for a questionable canal/sewer/drainage plan?
We need to HEAR his voice!
I don't think he responded
AT ALL
to the excellent presentation to the Jeffersonville City Council made by the emminent attorney David Mosley's presentation
to take a look at alternatives.
Silence....................
Ron Grooms is an excellent State Senator!
We are very fortunant to have Sen. Grooms working for Jeffersonville's Clark County's interests in Indianapolis!
"You Betcha!"
"How important will the "Grey" vote be this year?
Are aliens-"E-T's"-allowed to vote
in the State of Indiana?
The Kid needs to volunteer for the Army if he wants to serve. Maybe the Navy. Someplace that would get him out and about. Someplace where he would learn what it means to take an order you don't like and execute it. Goliath not limited to Army but, since he's Republican, and those guys are crazy about the Military..it just seems natural. He could even be...like a E5 or whatever they used to call it.
Also...where is his birth certificate?
Once again,
we the assembled masses,
are humbled by Goliath's wisdom!
Superb and timely!
The gullible nature of youth is an eternal theme!
I was just having a heated "discussion" with one of my offspring about the caution that should be exerted this evening
in leaving the house and hanging out with the offspring's "friends".
Caution and the exercising of better judgement was the lecture.
Not sure it worked, but hope spring's eternal!
Thank you Golaith!
Too cool!
Not only can the Mighty G
implore our youth to think and grow up, he can add a humerous touch to the lecture!
Goliath does have a sense of humor!
An E-T should produce a "birth certificate"! L.O.L. !
Draino!
"They want you! In the Navy!"
Grow up, get a job, and see the world!
Make your parents proud!

Bluto
is a 1987 war film by Stanley Kubrick.
"Joker wears a peace-sign medallion on his uniform as well as writing "Born to Kill"
on his helmet, which he explains as an expression of Jungian philosophy concerning the duality of man."
The real life "Joker"
on whom the character is depicted, was a correspondent for
"Stars and Stripes" in the movie. He allegedly now teaches at the journalism school in Northern Virginia.
An officer who has just questioned him about the 'peace symbol', tells Joker
"Son, it's time to come on for a landing and join the winning team.
Narrative from the sceen:
"Pogue Colonel:
Marine, what is that button on your body armor?
Private Joker: A peace symbol, sir.
Pogue Colonel: Where'd you get it?
Private Joker: I don't remember, sir.
Pogue Colonel: What is that you've got written on your helmet?
Private Joker: "Born to Kill", sir.
Pogue Colonel: You write "Born to Kill" on your helmet and you wear a peace button. What's that supposed to be, some kind of sick joke?
Private Joker: No, sir.
Pogue Colonel: You'd better get your head and your ass wired together, or I will take a giant shit on you.
Private Joker: Yes, sir.
Pogue Colonel: Now answer my question or you'll be standing tall before the man.
Private Joker: I think I was trying to suggest something about the duality of man, sir.
Pogue Colonel: The what?
Private Joker: The duality of man. The Jungian thing, sir.
Pogue Colonel: Whose side are you on, son?
Private Joker: Our side, sir.
Pogue Colonel: Don't you love your country?
Private Joker: Yes, sir.
Pogue Colonel: Then how about getting with the program? Why don't you jump on the team and come on in for the big win?
Private Joker: Yes, sir.
Pogue Colonel: Son, all I've ever asked of my marines is that they obey my orders as they would the word of God. We are here to help the Vietnamese, because inside every gook there is an American trying to get out. It's a hardball world, son. We've gotta keep our heads until this peace craze blows over.
Private Joker: Aye-aye, sir.

"You'd better

Yes, the Mighty G is correct once again!
The "kid with games" should do a stint in the military.
Goliath is wise.
GAW rocks!
Draino!
Memories of Ft. Knox
and basic,
recalling a similar senerio at an Army base.
The same-same situation
as below with the AIT assignments yelled out.
Chills.
From "Full Metal Jacket":
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman yells Joker's name.
Joker responds: Sir, yes, sir!
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: 4212. Basic Military Journalism.
You gotta be shittin' me, Joker. You think you're Mickey Spillane? You think you're some kind of a fuckin' writer?
Private Joker: Sir, I wrote for my high school newspaper, sir!
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman:
Jesus H. Christ! You're not a writer. You're a killer!
Private Joker:
A killer, yes, sir!
Draino!
