Friday Follow-up

The Martin Chronicles applauds Villa Hills Police Chief Dan Goodenough and his officers for their public meeting at Thirs Landing earlier this week. The event was well-attended and a number of thoughtful questions were asked and answered. Our reporter tells us that while malfeasant Mayor Mike Martin was in attendance, he added bupkis and made no comment.

One observer quipped that Martin looked as nervous as a termite at an anteater convention. We wonder why? Hmmmm. Could it have been the 800-pound gorilla-in-the-room who everyone carefully avoided? You know. Martin's blockheaded refusal to hire an eighth police officer.

As one resident succinctly stated, "Martin can babble on about any number of nonsensical things. The five-sided octagon comes to mind. But when it comes to the important stuff, he's got nothing." That sums it up very, very well.

Who else was there? Current council members George Bruns, Greg Kilburn, Scott Ringo and Tim Sogar. Council candidates Rod Baehner and Amy Balson also attended. A great sign. Regrettably, the loathsome bilious blowhard County Boss Steve Arlinghaus was also there. Some speculate he was on hand in the event the skittish Martin needed help.

Not surprisingly, council candidates Dale Schaber, Mary Koenig, Holly B. Isenhour-Menninger and Brian Wischer took a pass on the event. The word is they were meeting to discuss their upcoming campaign of LIBEL, SLANDER and DEFAMATION.

While we are on the subject of Martin's crime wave, the chairman of the Villa Hills chapter of the Skinheads- not surprisingly an adoring Martin supporter-has offered his Facebook suggestion for how to solve Villa Hills' massive crime wave. Hire more police? (EXPLETIVE) no! The Skinhead suggests giving every Villa Hillian a gun.

Rumor has it that the firearm-fanatic Martin-who himself threatened a council candidate with gun violence shortly before the 2010 election-likes the idea of everybody "gunning up" so much that he is going to announce a "GUNS FOR GRANNIES" campaign at the next council meeting. Outstanding!

Sources tell us that the Martinites think we are using "coded language" when we discuss their hero, The Little Man From Norwood. You know, like we are blowing a "dog whistle", speaking in a secret language to the Villa Hills Underground.

We know that paranoia is running rampant in Villa Hills right now. But rest assured. When we say we think Martin is "stupid", we mean he is well, uh, you know . . . "stupid". And when we say we believe Martin is "corrupt", that is exactly what we truly believe.

As our loyal readers learned long ago, The Martin Chronicles says what it means, and means what it says. No "coded language" here!
