Two questions:

1. Yous (the unnamed endorsers) endorse Jay Ovittore with "He also helped defeat a plan by Time-Warner Cable to introduce tiered internet connection pricing."

Can you point us to some reporting or record of that?

2. Can you explain why being a staunch supporter of Mitch Johnson is a plus in your book?

Can you also explain why you endorsed almost all the incumbents? Do you just love our current City Council that badly?

Roch101 said...

Jay was probably referring to this. Still hoping for an answer to the second question.

Roch: We do not agree with you and your cronies about Mitch Johnson and you damn well know it. We have a long body of work, thousands of words, stating our reasons. Feel free to hit our archives.
Eric: Of 14 endorsements made for the primary, we endorsed 4 incumbents. I don't think that's a lot.

Thank you for the reply anonymous representative of Yes! I think it demonstrates the seriousness with which your endorsements should be received.

Roch: Give me a break. You don't know who I am? I've been commenting under this name for years. For the record, it's me, Brian Clarey. Jackass.
I say this with love, of course.
Here's another unsolicited opinion: Quibbling about details for its own sake does not make you an astute thinker. Also, you stole my idea about handicapping the races after we talked about it at the gym. Though I admit you're doing a pretty nice job of it. Hopefully I'll have the card out by the end of the month. See you on the track...

How am I to know who is using that screen name, Brian? It is shared among multiple people at Yes!, Jackass.

Here is some advice for you, a newspaper editor who disregards details in order to remain an advocate for a discredited position is not a professional -- with love, of course.

Brian Clarey said...

Can I assume this advice is culled from years of experience editing newspapers? For money, I mean, which is the generally accepted meaning of the term "professional".
Or, you know, are you just pulling this out of your bloghole?
