Next Time Carry A 5 Gallon Can

The Martin Chronicles shouldn't pick on other media outlets, no matter how inaccurate or passive they are. We shouldn't. But sometimes we do.

We will also cut the Community Recorder a little slack on its coverage of the last Villa Hills' council meeting. They have a new reporter who we are sure covers several beats and has a lot of stories to wrap her hands around. We are sure that the new reporter doesn't know the history of Mike Pope's complete failure to generate accurate financial reports these last ten months. We are sure the new reporter doesn't yet understand the significance of NO SEPTEMBER FINANCIAL REPORT AT ALL. It will take some time.

But we have to have a little fun with this one. The new reporter did deem it necessary to report Mike Pope's odd warning to the women of Villa Hills. You see, Mr. Pope has been told that "strange men" are approaching women, asking them for money for gasoline. He urged women to use extreme caution when being approached by these "strange men seeking gas money". Hey, you never know.

As we chuckle about this, just a few general observations.
  • We wonder, did Mr. Pope ever discuss his concerns about this epidemic of "strange men seeking gas money" with the police chief?
  • We urge the new reporter to just hang in there. It will start making sense that, well, none of it makes sense, soon enough!
  • Finally, and we know our most loyal readers knew this had to be coming, we have a suggestion for Mr. Pope. Mr. Pope, if you want to appear more believable when approaching women to ask them for gas money-carry an empty 5 gallon can with you!!!!
