Atomictumor

In an editorial that I only wish I had written, hopped up in a righteous fury on trucker speed and whiskey, Oak Ridger’s Richard Esposito climbed up in the grills of the three Oak Ridge elected commissioners (Jerry Creasey, Harry Hitchcock, and John Shuey) that voted against the County making a stand and supporting the Crestpointe thing, and laid down a whuppin.

I’m not going to detract from the thing by paraphrasing it here, but he does call to task the sheer dumbassery of elected officials working against what appears to be the best interests of our city.

Look, if you haven’t come to the conclusion yet that this thing is pretty darn foolproof, you haven’t been reading long enough.  Netmom has a good post about the facts of the situation, and Daco’s gone and buddied up with the Future of Oak Ridge people to try to get this thing laid down to bed like it should be.

Still tho, damnation, this disappoints me.  Particuarly you, Creasey, because, dammit, we backed you back in the day.  Anybody who doesn’t have the sense to vote because they’re elected, and not because they’re going to wait to see what the people that elected them voted for, doesn’t need any more endorsements.  They need retirement.  Maybe a nice tomato garden.
