Who put the positions on the position chart?
Who put the pep in the pepper pot?
Who put the pop in the popcorn popper?
Who put the must in the mustard jar?
Who put the ape in ape-ricot?
WHY, IT WAS US!
I respectfully decline to name names....but we know it was us.
And there is not one of us who doubted its correctness and accuracy.
The only "fraud" that seems to apparent comes from saying that anyone engaged in fraud in the first place.
Thank you, Mike. We have attended City Council Hearings for the past almost 20 years, but this was the first time for the Transportation Committee.
The flyer that I am (and I thought that you referred to) referring to is the one that the AFSC did put out. Did they also put the other information on the back of that flyer?

Leno - Tribute To Bush
Jay Leno wrote this......it's the Jay Leno we don't often see....
'The other day I was reading Newsweek magazine and came across some Poll data I found rather hard to believe.
It must be true given the source, right?
The Newsweek poll alleges that 67 percent of Americans are unhappy With the direction the country is headed and
69 percent of the country Is unhappy with the performance of the president.
In essence 2/3s of the citizenry just ain't happy and want a change.
So being the knuckle dragger I am, I started thinking, ''What we are So unhappy about?''
Is it that we have electricity and running water 24 hours a day, 7 Days a week?
Is our unhappiness the result of having air conditioning in the summer and heating in the winter?
Could it be that 95.4 percent of these unhappy folks have a job?
Maybe it is the ability to walk into a grocery store at any time and See more food in moments than Darfur has ever seen?
Maybe it is the ability to drive from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean without having to present identification papers
as we move through each state?
Or possibly the hundreds of clean and safe motels we would find Along the way that can provide temporary shelter?
I guess having thousands of restaurants with varying cuisine from Around the world is just not good enough.
Or could it be that when we wreck our car, emergency workers show up and provide services to help all and even send a
helicopter to take you to the hospital.
Perhaps you are one of the 70 percent of Americans who own a home.
You may be upset with knowing that in the unfortunate case of a Fire, a group of trained firefighters will appear in moments
and use top notch equipment to extinguish the flames thus saving you, your family and your belongings.
Or if, while at home watching one of your many flat screen TVs, a Burglar or prowler intrudes , an officer equipped with a
gun and a Bullet-proof vest will come to defend you and your family against Attack or loss.
This all in the backdrop of a neighborhood free of bombs or militias raping and pillaging the residents.
Neighborhoods where 90 percent of teenagers own cell phones and computers.
How about the complete religious, social and political freedoms we Enjoy that are the envy of everyone in the world?
Maybe that is what has 67 percent of you folks unhappy.
Fact is, we are the largest group of ungrateful, spoiled brats the World has ever seen.
No wonder the world loves the U.S. , yet has a great disdain for its citizens.
They see us for what we are.
The most blessed people in the world who do nothing but complain about what we don't have, and what we hate about
the country instead of thanking the good Lord we live here.
I know, I know. What about the president who took us into war and has no plan to get us out?
The president who has a measly 31 percent approval rating?
Is this the same president who guided the nation in the dark days after
9/11?
The president that cut taxes to bring an economy out of recession?
Could this be the same guy who has been Called every name in the book for succeeding in keeping all the spoiled
ungrateful brats safe from terrorist attacks?
The commander in chief of an all-volunteer army that is out there defending you and me?
Did you hear how bad the President is on the news or talk show?
Did this news affect you so much, make you so Unhappy you couldn't take a look around for yourself and see all the Good
things and be glad?
Think about it......are you upset at the President because he actually caused you personal pain OR is it because the
'Media' told you he was failing to kiss your sorry ungrateful behind every day.
Make no mistake about it.
The troops in Iraq and Afghanistan have volunteered to serve, and in many cases may have died for your freedom.
There is currently no draft in this country.
They didn't have to go.
They are able to refuse to go and end up with either a General Discharge, an other than honorable'' discharge or,
worst case scenario, a ''dishonorable'' discharge after a few days in the brig.
So why then the flat-out discontentment in the minds of 69 percent of Americans?
Say what you want but I blame it on the media.
If it bleeds..... it leads and they specialize in bad news.
Everybody will watch a car crash with blood and guts.
How many will watch kids selling lemonade at the corner?
The media knows this and media outlets are For-profit corporations.
They offer what sells , and when criticized, try to defend their actions by 'justifying' them in one way or another.
Just ask why they tried to allow a murderer like O.J. Simpson to write a book about how he didn't kill his wife, but
if he did he would have done it this way......Insane!
Stop buying the negativism you are fed everyday by the media.
Shut off the TV, burn Newsweek, and use the New York Times for the bottom of your bird cage.
Then start being grateful for all we have as a country.
There is exponentially more good than bad.
We are among the most blessed people on Earth and should thank God several times a day, or at least be thankful
and appreciative.'
'With hurricanes, tornados, fires out of control, mud slides, flooding, severe thunderstorms tearing up the country from
one end to another, and with the threat of bird flu and terrorist attacks, 'Are we sure this is a good time to take God out
of the Pledge of Allegiance?'

I saw that flyer at a meeting with Melissa Callahan and many, many cabdrivers at Hollywood Grill. It seemed like the signatures were cut and pasted. I can't remember if it was double-sided. I think Peter Enger or Wali Budhol might have "original" copies.

oops sorry!
i just used it to wipe my ass!
as propaganda, it was amateurish, uninformative, slanderous, and not a winning or convincing piece of literature of anyone to anything at all. i'm glad it is gone, but if anyone ever took it seriously, i will gladly meet with them, tear it apart politically piece by piece, and either expose those who stand by it for the opportunists they are, or win the questioner over to the side of the people.
we can do it!

Dear x ali x,
Are you sure that flier didn't end up IN your ass?
As a propagandist you ARE amateurish, uninformative and not winning or convincing anyone OF anything at all -- EXCEPT YOU MIGHT BE DANGEROUS IF YOU HAD A BRAIN.
Get off your high moral horse and join the human race down here on the ground.
Get over this adversarial "better-than-thou" rage fit. That storm of contention is over -- at least for me.
In case you missed it, we are trying to mend our bridges, take a breath and a new look at what we are doing and how we are doing it.
In case you don't get it, the flier debacle was a mistake -- no one denies, disputes or refutes this.
Everyone involved in it or with it over-reacted and hissed and peed all over everything.
(Has Reyes stopped laughing yet?)
It was a result of miscommunication not because anyone wanted to bring harm to anyone else. (They say the road to Hell is paved with good intentions.)
That fight is over. No one won and everyone lost something.
Apparently you are the only opportunist here, taking advantage of a lot of thunder and fury, all signifying nothing.
Wake up and smell the lack of a meter increase, the lack of safe parking, the lack of an effective, responsive regulating body that is accountable to the people it regulates.
Behave yourself like gentleman, fo starters.
Respect and Dignity.
Haven't you learned from all this infighting?
Thanks, George.
Let's all stop spray-painting this very useful forum with personal attacks and useless ramblings. I'll go first.
Short and to the point works best:
Who has a hard copy of this flyer so I can get a copy for my files? I'll come to you to get it.
