October 14, 2010 – Daily Brief

It’s unfortunate that The Signal has set the bar so low for themselves that we feel the need to give them credit for doing an otherwise run-of-the-mill follow up story.

Baby steps.

I hear the Signal is going to increase their monthly subscription fee in order to improve daily deliveries. I hear Ian Lamont has learned this technique from Obama.

Tell Petz to check the box “candidate talks in 3rd person”

Petz should wear his white gloves when he ‘hand delivers’ it.

Way to keep it humble! Why, exactly, do you feel that you’re more qualified than anyone else for this committee?

He’s Petz … duh

Please speak in the third person when referring to Petz also don’t look directly at him look just slightly to the left.

Petz he is … duh <–

Damageinc thinks this is Better

Sponsored seven straight years of successful Astronomy Day Programs at the Valencia Library, including a national first place award from the Astro League. Demonstrated leadership skills and an award winning public speaker. Masters Degree in Business…that’s just the preamble.

Petz: You do not have the most important qualification they will be looking for. Weak quisling of the City Council!

So now what is the over/under on how long they will extend the application process to gin up enough quisling applicants to keep Petz off? I say two months.

I think it is important that they take the time to select individuals that truly represent the community that will mostlikely use the library. This may take awhile in Newhall. The proper mix of books printed in English or Spanish will be a challenge.

Petz is welcome to the committee to advice the city council on running uncompleted libraries with no books I’m more interested in forming a weekly carpool to the Castaic library.

Actually, you can polish a _ _ _ _. http://dsc.discovery.com/videos/mythbusters-polishing-a-turd.html

Good one. Now all we need is to find someone that is willing to shine Ferry. You in Brian! the problem is that when you are done, you will still have a _ _ _ _ under the polished surface. Nothing worse than a polished politician.

How many out of print books do you think you’ll be picking?

I can see the list as ‘fair and balanced’. Yeah, right!

Castaic.

More likely, choose what books NOT to pick!

In Newhall you pick books.

In Soviet Russia, the books pick you!

What a country!

Were I live you select a book.

Where I live you select books. If I were in Newhall I would pick a book.

At the county library I neither pick or select a book. I know what book I want and find it. Doesn’t matter in the least if I am in Newhall. Valencia, or out from under the bubble altogether.

What do you do after you find the book? Pick it, choose it, select it, buy it, steal it, or lose it again?

I thought the PEOPLE picked the books. My votes the Karma Sutra, Satanic Bibles and a Rachel Ray Cook books.

You pick apples and your _ _ _ _.

Lots of Rachel Ray at the Newhall and Valencia libraries. The other stuff, not so much. I’m partial to Alton Brown and Mario Batali myself. Own several of their books. Batali’s father has a restaurant in Seattle. Didn’t pay any sales tax to the city of Santa Clarita, however the corn beef (corned on the premise) was delicious. But there I go thinking outside the bubble again.

Salumi!

That’s the place.

Levin gets his own shelf, I presume?

I love Haiku’s

“man from monkey books”—there is no such thing….

Maybe Canyon Theatre Guild can stage a production of Inherit The Wind and weave in the library takeover plot.

Sorry Petzy, but the courts have spoken…there is no intelligent design. I’m on my way to file my papers too…just to make sure you don’t try to sneak anything in.

I’ll sleep a lot better knowing Petz is deciding what the people under the bubble are reading.

Thank goodness for Kindle.

And what has that got to do with libraries?

The city mandated that our national motto be prominently displayed in all city buildings, just complying with city wishes and promoting American values. You got a problem with that?

Only that none of your first sentence is true…But you probably hear voices too… BTW as a proposed member of this committee, what books do you propose burning?

Just to clarify, if you don’t believe in evolution, then fair is fair, I can believe that the 1956 Federal regarding a “national motto” was not passed, and the SCV City Council did not meet and approve a resolution placing “In God Trust” behind their heads. We can all say and believe anything…

McLean doesn’t know what “privatize” means, Weste wants lots of the hot new titles, Ender doesn’t like to see books on the library shelves. You gotta trust somebody. Or, as Dean Martin said “everybody has to believe in something, and I believe I’ll have another drink”.
