As yew probably hoid or read from other sources, ol’ Mizz Hufcut was gonna park her imposing posterior in the office the day of the election to “observe” JoAnn Callegari at woik. She said she had the permission of Secretary of State Suzie Bysciewicz fer the caper.

When Democratic Registrar of Voters Chuck Marino got wind of the prob, he asked her to remove her imposing posterior from the regions of the office as she was in violation of state and fed’ral statutes. Y’see ol’ Michelle and her imposing posterior wuz on the ballot. That makes her a candidate and that puts her within 75 feet of the polling place, in this case City Hall.

Natchurly, she took umbrage at the request and it took several calls to Hartford – as if they didn’t have enuff on their hands – to git the matter resolved. She finally removed herself and her imposing posterior to the City Clerk’s office, but that too was a violation. Eventually, things got sorted out and she took herself and her imposing posterior outta the confines of 355 Main St.

Here’s why I think she’s in a parallel universe or a sociopath, the Sec. of State’s office told her she didn’t have permission to be in the building, and, in fack, it seems she was told jest the opposite effen I read the account in the local papyrus correckly. Ergo, there must be a secretary of state named Byscewicz in some other universe that gave the permission, cuz it wasn’t in this one.

But that ain’t the end of the story. Effen yew wanna laugh, there was the story that was in the local papyrus on its website, and, of course, readers can post commints. Yikes. Ol’ Michelle did not fare too well. She tried to defend herself, cuz it was obvious somebody told her about the commints, but even there she should’ve cut her losses.

The biggest other loser in the whole scenario – Chairman of the Demmycrats Jim Morrissey. Beau James had to have his ears or somethin’ burnin’ cuz the commints were as much directed at him as at ol’ Michelle…and her imposing posterior. Effen he thought things were settling down, this lit’le episode jest churned the whole kettle again.

Well, it seems that not only Cobina thinks that Franny Withington is looking more and more like a guy who’s lookin’ to feather his nest. Effen yew saw the editorial page of the local papyrus, Franny din’t fare too well himself. Whilst he’s tryin’ to make it look as if he’s standin’ on principle, the whole scene is sooo transparent. By the way, Fran, this is not Iva Lootey or Nelly Nuthatch telling Cobina this.

Yup, he’s jest tryin’ to stall and hope that he can get the council or his friends on the council to rescind that resolution they passed almost two years ago, calling fer an office manager.

As has been pernted out here and elsewhere, Fran knew going inta the race two years ago that the position was purely nominal. But he keeps tellin’ people he was “told” that he would be taken care of. He won’t say whom it was that was doin’ the talkin’, but we can guess.

Franny is jest looking fer a job, lookin’ out fer himself, and the taxpayers be damned. I wonder effen he’s gonna try to run next time? That could be very interestin’.

Whilst all that is goin’ on, hizzoner didn’t get off Scot free in the editorial pages. He really should jest get the correspondence to the members of the council. He shouldn’t expeck that the chair or somebody else is gonna do it. Obviously, they aren’t, and it’s makin’ him look bad and giving the opposition something to use later on. No, I don’t mean the Republicans, I mean the Borer-crats.

Speakin’ of later on, the alignments are startin’ to solidify. Sammy Bluejay saw me and said that the people who were ticked off at Morrissey over the Marino thing are still ticked off and the people who supported him before are ready to do battle this time.

Whot it means is something that I’ve been tellin’ yew fer a while: Morrissey may not have 31 votes on the Democratic Town Committee, that could put any coup attempts by Mr. and Mrs. Borer in dutch. All it takes is a few votes hither or thither and the control of the DTC is one way or the other. Right now, the woid on the street is Jimmy don’t have the control he once had.

I’m a little more hard-bitten about these things. I’ve seen predictions like this go the way of the do-do. When it happens I’ll believe it. Still, effen Picard wants the nomination, it’ll be interestin’ to see jest how the whole thing pans out come next summer.

In other woids, keep tuned to this channel, sweets, it could be very interestin’. And, now that the presidential nonsense is over, focus will become more clear on next fall.

With that bit o’ chatter, I’ll close this time till next, mitt luff und kizzez,
