Comment to More of The Same

I believe that Mr. Ballard began his career as a journalist, and may have even worked for The Banner at one point, or perhaps one of the papers that merged to become the Era Banner.

Isn't that interesting!! Ken Whitehurst used to be a small pooh-ba in that string of newspapers.

As did Jason Ballantyne our new Communications Director and Mayoralty speech writer at public expense, sine qua non a Masters Degree.

Many people in town are of the impression the Mayor has shares in the Banner. Some have even gone so far as to call it MayoraBanner as opposed to Aurora Banner.

Of course that's highly unlikely. But you know the theory about perception being nine-tenths of the law !!

OOps No...... It's Possession that's nine-tenths?

Perception has a different factor in reality.

Quite apart from all that....it's a cozy little circle isn't it?

There's the illusion some have, the Town's name has already been informally changed to Phyllistenetown.

Having been inphylltrated with an inphyllible army and taken over without a single shot being fired.

Evidence of blood, sweat, tears and bodies everywhere notwithstanding.

With all these journphyllists present we could have a special edition of Mad Magazine call it Phyllis' election team and campaign.... no expenses to be declared on the Candidate's Statement of Election Expenses.

You have to admire the clever schem- er- plan..

Where are you York University, Political Guru, Professor Robert McDiarmid?

Are you keeping score and taking fastidious notes for future dissertation on municipal politics and how she is fought and paid for in Phyllistenetown?????

You won't find it on the computer record list of Ontario municipalities.

But keep looking .

It's out here in never- again land
