‘No matter how thin you slice it, it’s still baloney’
To the Editor:
Campaign season is underway in the town of Knox, so once again it’s time to haul out the Three Ds — Dismay, Discouragement, and Disgust. I suppose that is the intent of the latest raft of letters to The Enterprise from Eric Kuck, Dee Woessner, Ed Nicholson, and other agents of the town’s (anti)Democratic machine.
I suspect that most readers of The Enterprise are, as I am, almost unbearably tired of the negativity employed by these writers, which can only have the effect of suppressing true democratic spirit and action in Knox. Even the positives in their letters they turn to the advancement of the negative.
Perhaps we should also haul out and dust off the fourth D — Dishonesty. Oops! No dust on that, it appears.
Our current (Democratic) supervisor has an agenda to deny political choice to Knox voters? Give me a break.
Pot — meet Kettle. As long as the Democratic Party in Knox is controlled by a small elite that can count on family members and friends to provide 80-something votes every time to ensure their political control of the town, there really is no choice. Not from that party anyway.
Any nomination of anyone not selected by the machine for office (elective and appointed) in the town should be welcomed heartily by the citizens of Knox.
So, patient readers, prepare yourselves for months and months of continued soap opera nonsense from this vocal elite in our very tiny corner of the Universe. But keep in mind the words of a real Democrat, Governor Al Smith: “No matter how thin you slice it, it’s still baloney.”
