Silly Season Is Upon Us

It's that time again, time to pick the clowns in the circus. Yeppers. Elections are nigh upon us.

So let's have some fun.

Here is a good way to do just that: ask the question that will put them on the spot. First, a little context. Everybody knows that there is no, nada, zero traffic enforcement inside Dunwoody. Yes, 285 gets patrolled either because superspeeders are lucrative or there is a chance for an asset seizure, but in our neighborhoods? No way. Now this is the context you should use when posing a question to these posers. 

It goes a little like this: "As you know we have a problem with speeders in our neighborhood and what I want to know is can you tell the police chief to run a patrol to put a stop to this?" It is very, very important that you emphasize the word "can" because that means there is only one correct answer: No! Now if you want to have real fun, before you let them answer, say something along the lines of "this is a yes/no question, and anything other than "yes" means no, and anything other than just plain "no" is political obfuscation." 

Let the fun begin!
