That's what I'm talking about! Try this...
"Forget the myths that the Mayor created about Lakewood Hospital. The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand."
Faint echo to my attempt to discern if Defendant Summers was lucky or sophisticated in business.
Now that, is not the first time for this quote of this post. Go way way way way way back, and see it posted in January last year I do believe.
Need? Want? Hmmmmmmmmmm???
Life is not a 24 hour news cycle, and Watergate took longer than 90 minutes to solve.

In college my Journalism professor, Imogene Bolls, was infatuated with Watergate and all things surrounding it. I spent a few semesters with her painfully pounding the information into my head. She bled me dry of any sense of interest in the topic. I hated Watergate, she hated that I hated Watergate, and therefore couldn't stand me - we were a great match. It just so happened that I was the Editor of the school newspaper and our class structure was set so that we received course credit for column inches in the paper. Homework and tests were out the window, I just gave myself more column inches in each issue! I never received less than an A in the class. Sometimes working smart, not hard actually pays off.

Corey-- sounds like she was "blornerd" by her preoccupation with Watergate. Good that you learned to game the system. I, myself, am going to take an "off" year.

After James McCord was convicted in January, 1973, he wrote the judge about "intimidation and politic pressure on many to remain silent"
John Dean broke his silence in April of 1973.
Dean testified about an "enemies list."
Nixon resigned in August, 1974.
Did the 1972 landslide victory mean that the voters approved of Nixon's conduct?
If this does not have any impact on Lakewood I will move it to Global.
Maybe if you had mentioned, we never really go to understand Watergate because it was cover-uped with the pardon, and certainly we need to understand what the hell went on here in Lakewood in the earliest steps of driving the city into the ditch.
Or if you had meant the hundreds of shannigans with fake names and one time papers, and lying about facts, and how Nixon did similar things called "rat fucking," honest law abiding people, and how it was actual those thugs that brought the president down, and how that applies to Lakewood.
But as it stands now, it seems more a global post to me.

No mention or reference to Lakewood in the original post. The follow up justification could have been, or should have been, included in the original post - this would have made the post local. Instead it sounds like a JOB-type post with no refernce points to how it alludes to Lakewood.
Good post, though - wish it would have included the Lakewood relationship in the original.

"Just kidding" at the end of a post is like saying, "not to offend you but your post was lame." Neither one is genuine or constructive.
