Steve Otto - Otto Graphs

Friday Ottographs


It wasn’t exactly breaking news, but the source was a little surprising when Tampa City Councilman Charlie Miranda announced that the council is “dysfunctional.’’ For several reasons Charlie is my favorite councilman and one of them is his ability to cut to the chase.  On Thusday they managed to drag out a discussion on limiiting their own campaign contributions for what seemed hours.
It finally got to that point where Charlie lost it and declared the whole crowd dysfunctional and announced he was goign to run for county commssion. Should all that happen and he gets a seat on the county board, you have to wonder how long it’s going to take for him to realize he has fallen into the Black Hole of dysfunction.
- Actually my personal concern is that Charlie and Councilwoman Mary Mulhern are in my starting lineup in tomorrow’s Beepball game against the Lighthouse for the Blind (10 a.m. at the New York Yankees Community Field right next to Legends Fieldy. The last thing I need is a dysfuntional infield as we try to snap or 19-year string of losses to the Lighthouse.

I’m commenting on your column in the Tribune 10/10/08 “Let’s All Drown our Worries at that Spa”. The day after the bailout was passed, I canceled my AIG car insurance, called Geico and got the same amount of insurance for $200.00 less a month, and I have two teenage drivers! (PS. I’m glad your mom’s o.k.)

Poor Charlie!  out of the frying pan, into the fire…or is it out of the septic tank into the sewer?
