The publisher of The Martin Chronicles has been in a particularly feisty mood of late. How do we know that? He has instructed his reporters to do everything within their writing powers to avoid using the word “bickering”.
Why? Because that greatly overused word has become the mindless mantra for all the word-slurring, staggering Civic Clubbers, holier-than-thou St. Joe’s Heavy-Drinking Men’s Society members, some secret Finance Committee meeting attendees, lunatic Tea-Partiers, Liberty-Leaguers and other various and sundry tri-cornered hat-wearers, tree-huggers, cat-haters, largesse-receiving cronies and the rest of the odd assortment of pinheads that comprise the dwindling ranks of Villa Hills Mayor Mike Martin apologists.
Our venerable publisher is also getting sick and tired of The Kentucky Enquirer’s seemingly clueless headline writer inserting the overused word “infighting” in the headline of every article Cindy Schroeder writes about the ongoing efforts of the majority of City Council struggling to prevent the malfeasant Mayor Martin from totally destroying what was once the top-rated City in Northern Kentucky!
“Infighting” is defined as a contentious rivalry or disagreement among members of a group or organization. To describe what has been going on in Villa Hills as “infighting” diminishes the fact that Mayor Martin’s missteps and misdeeds are taking a terrible toll on absolutely everyone in the City-and are endangering every resident’s wallet. The damage is not confined to the elected officials and employees of the City. Everyone needs adequate police protection. Everyone needs their town’s streets properly maintained. No one should accept the kind of corruption and disregard for truth and integrity that led to things the likes of the embezzlement of hundreds of thousands of dollars from the Civic Club.
The Martin Chronicles urges The Kentucky Enquirer to use better descriptive terms to frame the issue. Even the dinosaur media should be able to do better! It is a much bigger issue than a simple case of “infighting”.
Our publisher suggests that The Kentucky Enquirer headline writer and all the rest of the ne’er-do-wells already listed should at least spring for a thesaurus. Why not start using different words? Couldn’t we at least read or hear “row”, “dustup”, “scuffle”, “free-for-all”, “uproar”, “quarrel”, “brawl”, “donnybrook”, “melee” or even a “Texas death match”?
In a moment our reporters got a chuckle out of they would prefer our publisher didn’t hear about, they laughed as the founder of The Martin Chronicles left the office muttering, “Why don’t these (EXPLETIVE)ers call it a ‘fracas’? I have always loved the word ‘fracas’. ‘Fracas’ is a great word! Every time I look at that nauseating photo of Martin’s mug in The Kentucky Enquirer, the first word that comes to mind is ‘fracas’!!!! Well, almost the first (EXPLETIVE)ed word!!!! I’m gonna mail every last one of these (EXPLETIVE)ers a (EXPLETIVE)ing thesaurus!!!! Holy (EXPLETIVE)”
The Martin Chronicles hopes The Kentucky Enquirer headline writer doesn't think "thesaurus" is the name of a kind of dinosaur-and remains committed to bringing you every detail in the ongoing “fracas” in Villa Hills.
