Circling the Wagons and Firing Inward

I watched with great interest as all the the pork choppers were ordered to write Letters to the Editor in defense of the hiring of the city's newly hired Spin Doctor, Blair Fryer. Chris Bradshaw, communications staff person for the BCGEU - spouse of Lynn Osborne, Chuck Puchmayer's Constituency assistant, Stan Lovick, Health Sciences Association staff person, co-worker to Rebecca Maurer communications staff with the HSA, and Blair Fryer's spouse. We also have home renovator and wannabe union man Rick Carswell; for some reason known only to them, the UFCW have made him a member and then made him a Labour Council delegate.Good grief, pickings must be slim, you would think they could find a worker. In fact, they could find no one to write in whose salary or perks weren't tied to a union in order to defend the Labour Council slates hiring of a Spin Doctor.

With the first sign of criticism, the LC slate went into full panic mode and had these guys load up their muskets and begin firing inward producing the most babbling vitriolic nonsense ever seen in the Record. Now I see associate slate member Wayne Wright has placed a city ad in the Piffle - and he's Wright this has gotta be some kind of joke - defending the good doctor. In the end this resulted in the exit of Brian Coates Brian Coates a loyal 33 year employeee of the city. I guess that's okay in Wayne's World.
