And you don't have to be blind to read it.
In fact, if you were blind you'd need a state-of-the-art Braille computer to read GA's upcoming blind item- some gizmo like this:
Isn't that fantastic? Internet accessibility for the blind!
And just in case Beth Mason's diminutive Igor has already downloaded this for tonight's City Council easel presentation citing GA's insensitivity to blind people let me state fore the record, I AM one.
Yes, it's true. GA's legally blind. Even with corrective lenses, can't get to 20-20. So, my emails arrive in friends' Inboxes as curious cryptograms because the Outlook screen is kinda small and I'm too lazy to run Spell-Check. Without getting the ultra-ultra-ultra featherweight lenses for my glasses, they'd be thicker than the lens on this:
True story!
Now, what was I talking about before I interrupted myself?
Oh yes, that blind item... Here's how the Urban Dictionary defines it:
Now, GA's no gossip columnist but speaking of POLITICS, Hoboken is a town chock full of celebrities, wanna-be celebrities, has-beens, never-beens and almost-wases...
So here goes:
And if I say any more, MY ass will get kicked up and down the 6th Ward.
But all I can say is... pray for Nino.

Oh yes, that blind item... Here's how the Urban Dictionary defines it:
1. blind item
When a gossip columnist doesn't have enough evidence to support a claim about a celebrity, where naming said celebrity would result in a lawsuit, giving no names but mild clues to the celebrity's identity in the latest gossip.
Today's Blind Item: "Which blonde is no longer giving sweet kisses to her boy-band husband?"
Now, GA's no gossip columnist but speaking of POLITICS, Hoboken is a town chock full of celebrities, wanna-be celebrities, has-beens, never-beens and almost-wases...
So here goes:
GA's Blind Item:
Guess who's incumbent-ass is about to get kicked up and down the 6th Ward next May because rumor has it an awesome opponent is on deck and ready to rumble?
And if I say any more, MY ass will get kicked up and down the 6th Ward.
But all I can say is... pray for Nino.
I can attest to your blindness and it's not just the emails. You had your cute button nose pressed against the computer screen to read the lyrics as we sang modified Christmas carols while the Giant played the piano (very well as did little GA) chez moi. I'm just trying to remember what Christmas carols we managed to adapt to include Bajardi and Mason ;-)
ReplyDeleteWow, thought the big news leading into tonight's City Council meeting was the letter from the mayor to the council. In it, the pay-to-play legislation gets boosted and oh about that street money Beth....
ReplyDeleteYou really shouldn't be messing with the law. Let's make this perfectly clear so if you decide to dump big loot to your corruptable puppet pals you will be hit with a hefty fine.
I hate when that happens.
I think if there's really a candidate, we should keep his name under wraps as long as possible. :)
