Jef, he said this was an event for HECKLERS. Some of whom will be openly abusing substances.

Thank you Chief for the opportunity to be snide, heckling and irrelevant.

This (from a recent ONW letter) is highly amusing, the phrasing of it. After listing by name and praising the councilors who voted FOR the TIF Chamber-guy John Casper sez -

"History will look very favorably on these City Council members for their action on Tuesday. The community should be very proud of their support. I know the Oshkosh Chamber of Commerce is."
lol
let's translate that into Colbert-speak:
"Hey TP! you and mini-Me are on notice"

It sounds like the appropriate campaign seasons will be fairly targeted and aggressive. Big surprise there.
Maybe this is like on TV when someone goes all "death by cop", knowing exactly what they are doing and what will happen when they run out like a madman in front of the assembled SWAT Team, but running out there like a madman anyway and then getting turned into Swiss Cheese.
hmm This could be a new political phenomenon
