Like many of you, we here at local yokel like to have a peaceful morning with our newspaper and coffee. We do not take too kindly to our peace being viciously snatched away from us with hyperbolic nonsense such as this: The way that Gardner is running the county is “basically like a dictatorship.” Who […]
Rarely is one properly rewarded when they slip on over to that sticky appendage of a website known as the Tentacle. But Hooey Mama we hit the jackpot yesterday! Our esteemed Councilman #KirbyDelauter had a few things to say about Jan Gardner’s budget. (Spoiler alert: He doesn’t like it.) #KirbyDelauter’s first problem is that the […]
We read this email at least twenty times this afternoon, not only because it is so poorly written, but also due to the fact that we just couldn’t believe our delicate eyes! What is accurate?! What proof does he have that the old system was better for taxpayers and businesses? Where’s the data? No […]
There is a great article in the FNP this morning about the calls for unity among the local Republican Party. Yesterday we spoke of the Delauter and Williams supporters who are now throwing their support behind third party contender Earl Robbins. Since historically a third party candidate has always had the effect that one wishes […]
What is Clagett playing at? Did anyone else receive his fancy “I’m a progressive” mailer and wonder which Democrats of Frederick County go into a primary election thinking to themselves when they select their At-Large Council Candidates, “I hope he supports #KirbyDelauter!” There are no such creatures, are there? If you exist, Sasquatch, please show […]
Into the old inbox this afternoon appeared a very interesting read. Kirby (copied from Zeus only knows where) has prepared a Resolution that he has to know the council will not pass. The best way to go through this mumble jumble of American constitutional thought is to lay it out for you bit by bit! […]
Your Lady Yokels have been distracted by a number of other local races lately, and #kirbydelauter and his race for our county’s highest office have unfortunately been on our back burner. Until today! On his county executive Facebook page he posted this: Well, you shouldn’t be a bit surprised that Kirby’s description of this bill […]
On two separate occasions these past few weeks, our frenemies Kathy Afzali and Kirby Delauter have benefited from your Lady Yokel’s proofreading skills. Let us lay the evidence before thee. Let’s start with Kathy Afzali. You may remember the post we wrote about her very poorly done website we posted on September 15th. We pointed […]
Politicians using scare tactics to secure votes certainly isn’t a new phenomenon. Kirby has lots of good company in that regard. What is a little more unusual, is getting everyone all riled up over an issue that isn’t an issue! You may remember that just a few weeks ago there was some question as to […]
Loquacious lecturing Tony Chmelik–imagine our surprise when we fret that Shrelauter will muck things up, and then he takes the reins. He got into orator mode again this week, and man we can do without the Tony with a condescending tone schtick. Sighhhh. There was long discussion of the River Board process, which had Councilman […]
