As you can see for the picture (hmmm, what do Jerry Green and Stanley Kowalski have in common?) I was going to talk about the domesticity of Assemblyman Jerry Green and his debating tactics (logical fallacies -click here) he typically uses against his enemies and former friends. But why waste words when the picture incorporates a thousand of them.
The problem I'm having is with the Jerry Greens of the world is they are Edsels, bad objects assembled by party committees, put out for public consumption and delivered stillborn at our doorsteps to be tossed away on the garbage pile of 'it could have been done a whole lot better.' And, yet, ours is still here: still ticking, walking among us, anodes on the neck, Edsel gestated through the womb of Mary Shelly. Our village needs to rise up and drive the creature out. The question is. why haven't we?

Well, Pogo! Look in the mirror. The enemy is us.
They may have air dropped the Assemblyman in, given him 30 pieces of silver and put him to work. But we allowed him to push our town down the Via Dolorosa and now he and his cohorts are hammering in the nails. They hope that It just a matter time before they raise the cross in victory.
What is to be done (I hate that phrase)? What is to be done? Beats the hell out of me.
Just how do you get people out to vote? Make it mandatory with fines? Allow people to vote online? Let them vote at work? Anybody got any ideas? I'm always surprised when I hear people complain about the city. And then you ask them if they voted and if they voted in the primary and the answer is NO. Well then. shut up.
This Friday, 09/17/2010, Assemblyman Jerry Green has called a meeting of the Democratic City Committee. The purpose of which I suspect is to ensure that there is a large Democrat voter turnout in Plainfield because Pallone is in trouble and may lose his House seat. Can anyone tell me what Pallone has done for Plainfield? Where was he when the hospital closed? Had he, Jerry and the mayor chained themselves to the Muhlenberg hospital gates, there would be no question that they could get a massive turnout in Plainfield for November. However. at this point Assemblyman Green can't turn out crap. Even if he ate a case of prunes.
Anyhow, anyone who attends that meeting needs to ask the Assemblyman what's in it for the City of Plainfield. If the answers make sense then maybe, just maybe we, should turn out in November. Otherwise to paraphrase Ruth Brown's song 'I m not going to give it away. I'll just sit on it.' (click here for video)
