No Experience Necessary: A Senate panel says Anne Northup is qualified to serve as a Consumer Products and Safety commissioner, proving that the only qualification necessary to attain such a post is being pals with the Senate Minority Leader.

Good for Wayside. I hope they actually do get to move in.

In all seriousness, they probably will need to move into that building considering that since this flood and the resulting damage is going to create more problems. Jerry worries about a homeless shelter being setup but they can’t repair the sewer system after complaints for years by people all over the city.

Mayor Jerry has taken control of the situation and pledged $1 million dollars to help the Cordish company repair flood damage at the Sports and Social Club.

-Surely as conservative as Anne Northup is, she will gladly donate her entire goverment salary to charity like that whack-a-do, pork eating, liberal Senator John Yarmuth does.

Wait a minute. The Republicans went nuts because of the Supreme Court nominee’s comment about a Latino mother being better qualified than white males to judge certain things, and yet Anne’s main qualification for this job is that she’s a sensitive mother of six. Explain, please.

Understand US District Court Judge John G. Heyburn is taking a hard look at retiring and running for Mayor, especially if Steve Pence stays out.
