you're absolutley right, not that i need PUKEchesky to reaffirm that i'm doing a good job, but you see the obsession? unreal. here's a person who has accomplished what????? (long pause..) i thought so, nothing at all. What he doesn't understand and the rest is this.... I nor any other reporter wants to be liked by them. not only that, i guess there is probably just one (maybe 2) politicians who want to be liked and cheered by them. in any event, they speak against the Times, yet they bring their articles to council and quote all of the articles on their site. we get a kick when we see some of them paying their paper bill at the office, yet they hate us soooo much. I've said it before and will say it again, i hope they can eventually come to terms with their lives and live it in a better way. I've never been happier with my life and there is only good things, great things, ahead. by the way, that's the answer to the question i'm often asked...how do you stand at those council meetings through all the garbage? life is simply too good for me to let any of that bother me in any way shape or form. plus, i don't get involved in politics. by the way, i've been tabbed to be the keynote speaker at next month's black history month dinner at Lackawanna College. Mellannian News, the black newspaper, is sponsoring the event feb. 28. oh, but according to PUKEchesky, i'm a sell out or something like that. ha!
