The Martin Chronicles has confirmed that loony Villa Hills Councilman Mike Pope has placed one of the smarmy "Villa Hills Council Please Resign Now" signs in his front yard. The consensus? Mike Pope will be announcing his resignation from city council at tonight's monthly meeting.
In an odd way, we will miss Mike Pope. His antics have been highly entertaining. Now who will turn minutes into hours at council meetings by asking pointless question after pointless question after pointless question? Who will foul-up the City's finances? Oh, that's right. Crony-hire, $47.50 per hour clerk/bookkeeper Cordelia Schaber is still around. At least for now.
Hey, look on the bright side. Maybe now Pope will get back in the "alternate-reality" website business. He can now write about a Villa Hills' crime wave-that Martin has caused by decimating the police department. He can now tell harrowing tales of secret meetings-that Pope himself presided over. Pope can now rail against the $40 PER CAR UNFAIR STICKER TAX-that Pope himself voted to continue. Pope can pen horror stories about out-of-control spending-that he fully supported. Won't it be great?!?!?
Our publisher isn't convinced. He thinks this is just another crazy move by the highly eristic Pope. For all of you blockheads at the Civic Club who don't have a clue what eristic means, "From the Greek word Eris, meaning wrangle or strife. Given to or characterized by disputatious, often specious, argument".
For the meaning of any other words you are on your own.
