HAOLE SAYING OF THE DAY — “The hottest places in Hell are reserved for those who in time of great moral crises maintain their neutrality.” (Dante Aleghieri)
July 5, 2009: As long as there is one conservative/republican breathing oxygen on planet earth, the threat of American political idiocy remains, but recent occurrences do give the more intelligent a glimmer of hope. Obama is easily one of the most intelligent people to hold the office or president. Congress remains democratic (one hopes it would get organized, but no), and even the Supreme Court is poised to get a new member. Whither Maui?
The council, of course, remains as it always has – hopeless. Rarely have nine humans gathered to “govern” who have been more incompetent without being corrupt. You want corruption? Visit Kauai. You want do-nothing incompetence? Maui’s your place. It’s hard to think, faced with the appalling ineptitude of someone like Mike Molina, that the council has seen worse, but it has. What really galls the thinking person is when these morons become mayor.
