Larry's not so bad, eh?
He's a prize, Aggie...
This just in. Not mayor yet, but still -- a wannabe. Bad bad bad!!
I think Larry O'Brien is just misunderstood. Let's say the allegations against him are true, IF, well, it's just a sign that he really, really wanted to be mayor, and was willing to fight hard for it. That's a good thing, even if his means weren't completely legal. I mean, I think we're lucky that such a strong, determined person wants to lead our little city. Yes, perhaps he was overzealous (if he did it), but now that he's in the position, such a guy can really help Ottawa.
You make a good point, Conch Shell, and as my brother, The Ogre, said so succinctly in referring to the mayor's policies, "It's his city, he should be allowed to do whatever he wants."
That's a very good point Conch. Ottawa can use a mayor who will stop at nothing to get us what he wants. Besides, it's about time we had a mayor who understands the language money speaks.
The way people are carrying on, you'd think he'd been caught having sex with a pigeon in the Tim Horton's parking lot. Sheesh.
Speaking of pigeons, New York State knows how to treat its pigeon population.. Yup, click on my name... Now, I wonder, how do they treat their homeless?
Zoom: So, he didn't get caught? Is that what you are saying? I get confused...
I get confused too woodsy, between the pigeon pigeons, the stool pigeons and the euphemistic pigeons.
back to Carleton Place - that charge is just the tip of the iceberg, ESIs...
