  In fact, the GMA suspects that implacement of these election day barricades is the brainchild not only of Mayor Chaney, but a concerted joint effort . . . a conspiracy.  The GMA would not divulge the name of Mayor Chaney's co-conspirator, merely that a pucture is worth a thousand words . . .

    I just heard that the Latah GOP, along with GMA (Greater Moscow Alliance - aka Giving Moscow Away), suspect that these barricades have been strategically located within Republican-leaning neighborhoods around town and that that they are to be installed on election morning in November, so as to prevent citizens in those neighborhoods from voting . . . thus guaranteeing the election for Mayor Nancy Chaney.


    In fact, here is a soundbite that the Latah GOP managed to obtain from the "Chaney for Moscow" campaign committee's last strategy meeting.

      I suggest that the barricades have been distributed in advance of their being erected Saturday morning as street blockades for the Homecoming parade.

        It’s a phrase that’s popular in our home to describe an unearned sense of entitlement often exhibited by fat (meaning not economically disadvantaged) white men particularly.  Another way I’ve heard it phrased is “It’s a rich white man’s problem,” when whining about such important topics as having to drive too far to have a luxury auto serviced, not being able to order Kobe beef at the local restaurant, and no first class seats available for a 90 minute flight.

        Wayne’s public whine-fest about the Mayor not immediately dropping everything to take his call about the barricades placed – or misplaced – on his property by the street department strikes me as a similar kind of thing.  Maybe I run in the wrong circles, but I don’t know a single person other than Wayne Price who would expect to have the mayor on the kind of string Wayne thinks he’s entitled to have, especially without having tried a really simple self-help thing like calling the street department FIRST.

        Mind you, my reaction would have been different had Wayne said something like, “Hey – I called the street department two days ago about the barricades on my property but haven’t gotten a response yet, and I’m worried because we’re coming up on a weekend.”

        But, that’s not what happened, is it?

        Rather, anyone with connected brain cells can see that it was just an excuse to advocate for his mayoral candidate – Bill “The Bully” Lambert – while taking a cheap shot at current mayor.  Pretty pathetic.

        <Sense of unearned fat white man entitlement much, Wayne?>

        What does this mean?  I googled it but didn't hit on anything that looked viable so I trimmed the fat down to 'white entitlement' and got a hit on 'white privilege' which in the first paragraph says can be compared / combined with the concept of 'male privilege'.

        I'm against discrimination in any form that negatively affects affirmative action / equal opportunity.  I also happen to be a white male, but had no choice in the matter since I was born that way.
