We predict city Solicitor will take fall for Ravenstahl

Our prediction on the McNeilly/Regan situation – Acting city Solicitor George Specter will resign or retire, Ravenstahl will continue to blame the O'Connor administration and the city will settle with McNeilly prompting her to retire immediately afterwards. The Ravenstahl puppetmasterers will easily sacrifice one lawyer to keep their golden Pinnochio bright, shiny and electable. Our […]

That’s Commander Catherine McNeilly to you, Mayor Ravenstahl

That’s Commander Catherine McNeilly to you, Mayor Ravenstahl

Ohhhh … in a nice courtroom twist, a federal judge granted a preliminary injunction to Commander McNeilly reinstating her to the rank of Commander.  You'll recall all the glorious details when Commander McNeilly blew the whistle on the nefarious goings on of Dennis Regan the political hack driver who would be Public Safety Director.  Thanks […]

The search for weapons of heterosexual destruction — Mary Cheney’s baby garners yet another opinion piece

The search for weapons of heterosexual destruction — Mary Cheney’s baby garners yet another opinion piece
