Following are more revelations from Friday night's Sensible Citizens meeting and its aftermath:
Lies and videotape:
We talked to one of the unfortunate local reporters who had the misfortune of interviewing the mendacious Martin last week about the mystery of the "missing" Chief Dan. What did this reporter tell us?
"Man, that guy Martin is absolutely incredible. I've been doing this for a very long time. But, I've never seen anything quite like this. Before I started to roll camera I prepped him for my interview. I always do that. Martin was very open about his clear intention to fire the Chief. He said so in no uncertain terms. I could tell he was very angry as he said some terrible things about the Chief. When I asked him if he was ready to go on the record he said he was. So, I fired up the camera. And an amazing change took place. Martin completely changed gears and happily LIED to the camera, saying that Chief Goodenough was just taking a few days off. My jaw dropped to the ground. I'm not sure if Martin is even sure what the truth is. He is a strange little man."
Civic Club ass clown at the door:
Our reporters heard a lot of "buzz" from people who were convinced that a Martin "spy" attended Friday night's meeting. For full disclosure, we're perfectly fine with that. Heck, we think it would have been great if Martin himself had attended the meeting. In fact, we were convinced that the miniature mullah would be there.
Anyway, a woman pulled one of our reporters aside, pointed to a salt-and-peppered goateed, bespectacled man in a jacket and blue ball cap leaning up against the wall near the front door of the Madonna Manor Community Manor and said, "Do you see that jackass over there?" Our reporter acknowledged seeing the salt-and peppered goateed, bespectacled man in a jacket and blue ball cap leaning against the wall near the front door of the Madonna Manor Community Center.
The woman continued, "Well, that guy is one of those crooks from the Civic Club who helped get that lousy Martin elected. Did you know those guys embezzled hundreds of thousands of dollars from that crummy club?" Our reporter acknowledged knowing that hundreds of thousands of dollars had indeed been embezzled from that "crummy" club a few years back."
The woman persisted, "Well, that guy over there is a real piece of s#!t. He is almost as big a phony as that miserable Martin. I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him. Did you know he drinks at that crappy club almost every night. What a jerk." Our reporter admitted that he didn't really know how the salt-and-peppered goateed, bespectacled man in a jacket and blue ball cap spent most of his evenings.
The woman resumed, "Well, you can take it to the bank that s#!tty scumbag will run right back to that horrible crook Martin and boo-hoo about everything that happens here tonight. Thick as thieves, I say." Our reporter conceded that the woman was probably correct in her assessment of "that s#!tty scumbag". But our reporter didn't reveal the firm belief that it didn't really matter.
Monday's no-longer-so-special Special Meeting's likely outcome:
One of the attorneys on Police Chief Dan Goodenough's legal defense team attended Friday night's meeting and fielded several questions from the over-flow audience. Our reporters' assessment? Goodenough's legal team believes that the martinet Martin's Impotent, mostly-supplicant, "golden moment" council will grant the tiny tyrant the votes needed to fire Goodenough. Then? On to Circuit Court. What does that mean? Even more waste of taxpayer money on unnecessary legal fees. Only Martin personal-and now taxpayer-funded City-Attorney Toad V. McMurtry (of the real estate law firm of Gerner and Kearns) can be happy about that particular turn of events. What lawyer doesn't love billable hours, after all?
Facebook Nitwittery:
As we always do, we have been tracking the social networks. The huge majority of posts are deservedly vilifying the mallet-headed Martin for his LIES and DECEIT. But, much to our amusement, there are always at least a couple of outliers. We want to reveal them. If for no other reason than its entertaining as "H", "E" double-hockey sticks.
One goofball-who falsely portrays himself on par with the amazing Ronald Reagan-posted that the previous council is also at fault for Goodenough's pending termination because they convinced the Chief that he was "invincible". What a loon. If that was even remotely true, why did the previous council risk their futures when they passed the Civil Service ordinance to protect the police department from a man who was elected mayor that was also suing them-and the taxpayers-for $1.505 MILLION? This poster is a moron.
Then there is the fool-and to protect her identity we'll call her 'Midge Hedrick'- who posted that Friday night's meeting was about former elected officials crying about their election losses. Our reporters tell us that nothing could be further from the truth. Heck, they say one former councilman even admitted to being "best friends" with the moribund Martin. At least until the moribund Martin decided to stab that former "best friend" in the back.
Yes. 'Midge Hedrick' is also a moron. But then how else do you explain Martin's 2010 razor-thin mayoral election?
The Martin Chronicles could care less about these Facebook fools. What the heck? There are plenty of fools to go around. Want some examples? Well, EDDIE either LIED to the police or Special Counsel to save Martin from his well-deserved 2012 removal hearing. Then there is the stupid woman who took to a podium to declare that "This mayor (Martin) does great things for people."
Were either one of those fools at Friday night's meeting? No.They were not.
The voters have 233 days to get it right.
