yes you read that right, Ric Abel, 3 term mayor of Athens. The answer to a question nobody asked, Sarah Hendricker's replacement has been defeated in the Democratic Primary, by first ward councilman Paul Wiehl. Although I don't actually know that Paul will be any better than, Ping/Glidden/McDavis/Wharton/Phillips/{insert slum lord name here}'s lapdog. The fact is that if Wiehl cares about anything other than the the slum lords flaunting code, and OU running rough-shod over the concerns of citizens, then he'll be 200% better than Ric "Un" Able.
Also that pompous, self involved broad Carol Patterson got booted from council in favor of new comer firebrand Elahu Grosney. Patterson basically wrote her own ticket out of office, by using the code and street departments to do her personal bidding in changing road signs around her home and thinking she was an entitled member of Athens' aristocracy. Good riddance as well. Other winners here were the incumbents Jim Sands, and Amy Flowers.
Kent Butler won the primary to run for Paul's seat in the November election. Pat Lang won the primary for Law Director. Which should be a nice change from Garry Hunter, Larry's brother, have a hard time trusting an attorney that can't spell Gary.
This is the first time in any election, I've been voting since the primary in 1984, that I've ever voted for all winners, in any election.
I wonder if people are catching up to the way I think or I'm catching up to them. I think it's the former. But that's not important right now, what's important is change is coming, maybe, there won't be 8 frat boys in every house and 47 cars per rental. And maybe, just maybe some trash will make it into the trash cans.
As far as I'm concearned Ric "un" Able wrote his own political execution order when they put up that god-fucking-awful applebee's sign.
FUCK MUTHER FUCKING APPLE-FUCKING-BEE'S, that's right alumni people, we've now got tons of chain restaurants like TGI-Mcapple-benigan-damon-tuesdays and their mostly half empty because these places eat their own. Brought jobs to town long enough for the businesses to go south. Congratulations Ric, you can probably stop by OU and still get some quality suckling time with McDavis, but it's looking more and more like he's about to be run out of town on a rail, so don't get too comfortable. Maybe if he hadn't hired Glidden to raise money at a million a year, to date he's brought in no money, then you wouldn't have to cut sports and layoff so many people.
But you're trying to protect your phony-baloney job ain't ya?
