The Cuckoo Nut Telegraph is humming with news that some dumb donkey elected official added some ludicrous requirement to the Zaxby's proposal: they had to install a sign saying idling was limited to thirty seconds. This is not stupid on the surface, it is stupid throughout. What about electric cars that the dumb donkeys want us all driving? Do they even idle? And most modern cars automatically shut the engine off when the car stops. So...right...yeah, that pretty woman in the Maserati...who's gonna tell her not to keep her motor running?
Then there is enforcement. This is private property and even if it weren't the DPD is notorious for NOT enforcing traffic laws. [scroll down] Were they planning to fine Zaxby's if they did not enforce it, and who was going to check that they did?
And who brought this stupidity to the party? That would be none other than The Ice Cream Man, who allegedly tried to inflict similar stupidity on the Life South project. You have to wonder if he really does have 78's by Hank Snow.
But is it just stupidity, for stupidity's sake? To be sure, politics and stupid are siamese twins, but there is another explanation that makes stupidity a tool rather than a motivation.
Meanness.
The all consuming meanness of a bully. An angry bully. Is this the dark tetrad taken from the online world into real life? A bully delighting in torturing victims? This is a distinct possibility as the vote indicates that even when the victim cried uncle, the bully just laughed. And this will continue as no one else on council will lift a finger to stop it, and, after all, you voted for this. Are you happy now?
