In my original blog entry about the "evolution" of the Steve Fowler - Tom McDermott Jr. relationship (an evolution offered by Fowler, in his own words, for no apparent reason other than his overwhelming need to express his devotion to Baby Mac), Fowler had decided that he would change his original post. If you go to the original "thread" of the newspaper bulletin board started by Fowler, he completely deleted his original entry and substituted his "comments" about me. That, of course, was okay by me as I had a copy of the entire thread and had made that copy available on my blog.
But, alas, all I had to do was wait long enough -- and sure enough -- Fowler has re-posted his original "love ode to the Mayor" on the newspaper bulletin board again. What has made him do such a thing? Well, it seems that a local radio host who calls himself "The Preacher" has decided to turn Fowler's written words into a made-for-radio (or i-pod) spot. It is worth a listen and you can find it here. Look for "Oracle's Love Ode to the Mayor." Stupid, but true, humor -- you just can't make these things up -- gotta love it!
With such insight into Da Region, you should be a Democratic campaign strategist!

Some people in the world live in places where taxes are spent efficiently and so they have more money to go on vacations and see plays, musicals, shows and visit museums. In Lake County, residents choose to get the best entertainment around and pay extra to have such convenient side shows and attractions. There really isn't any corruption going on in Lake County. We just like to invest our tax dollars in premuim entertainment. Municipal employees trying to defend patronage arguing with radio hosts most people have never heard of and "talking" about lawsuits that will NEVER happen! This is why reality TV is so big...you can't write better stuff than real life! Lake County is the world's greatest reality entertainment! We should feel fortunate to pay the millions we do in taxes for this quality of entertainment. I feel like going to the boats right now and dropping some more coins in some machines in the hopes we can afford to hire some more characters and get them on municipal payrolls! I would gladly pay a "fowler family" tax if we can get more of that guy's relatives on the payroll and posting on messageboards! Who needs symphonies, theatre, or movie theatres when we can watch this stuff unfold anywhere we look in our community!
