A Puzzler

Local scandal-blogger, rumormonger, and fantasist Laura Oates is a real puzzler.

She is on record as insisting that Rumpke's $18 plus per household bid would turn out to be the winning bid on the sanitation contract. In the alternative, she bleated repeatedly that the only legitimate choice was the $16 plus alternative suggested by AFSCME.

It is clear that the costs for each of those far exceed the cost of the actual winning bidder. So, pray tell, if it takes $16 per household just to cover the costs, how much profit can there be in the $12.90 cost to the city?

With all the precision and control of explosive diarrhea, Oates more than implies that great riches are flowing to the recipient of the contract and that she is entitled, on behalf of her quartet of bitter aggrieved former office-seekers, to know the complete shares agreement of each of Bob Lee's companies.

Why is everybody out to get you, Laura?

She's just getting bad advice from that $$$$$$$ person and Erik, the non-existent college janitor.

I'm still getting a check, though. Right?

Slighty off topic but does anyone realize how close SOLNA may have come to being right or more right depending on your view?

If the President had come to NA there is absolutely no way our sewer system could have handled the overflow of BS that would have arrived. I can see the welded-on manhole covers blowing now. Just like the 4th of July. Now there is a patriotic vision for us all.
