Ink Blots

We had planned an elaborate post on the Mayor's Breakfast to-do, but since there will be no event this year -- much of what we were going to say is, alas, immaterial.

But that's not going to stop us from making one relevant observation. We were a bit surprised by the ferocity of the conversation regarding the Breakfast (both online and off) and are worried about what it portends. Frankly, we see the day soon approaching wherein any type of local event, positive or negative, immediately becomes a kind of Rorschach test over Esslinger's leadership.

And we mean even the events that don't even remotely involve him.
