First though, I can't believe I heard the word "goiter" on the air today. Is it a full moon?
The title of today's entry refers to one caller's description of the cat by-law today on the Hotline. Finally, after 18 tries, the by-law has incrementally moved forward. The process now moves forward to a public hearing which Mayor Kelly thinks will probably be in Sept. Will keep you posted!!
The cat by-law essentially WAS the show today. Everyone wanted to talk about the "kitties" and there were so many different opinions it is no wonder council had such a hard time with it. That being said, there is no excuse for some of the comments made yesterday. Seriously, I think the councillors got the meeting confused with an audition for "Last Comic Standing". You MUST read Rodenhiser today.
Here is the link. Take 5 minutes and read this. It is possibly the funniest thing I've read all year. Classic doesn't begin to describe this:

The comments under the article are great too - someone else mentioned Last Comic Standing!!!
For Councillor Hendsbee - a little snippet from http://www.dictionary.com/:
feral: existing in a natural state, as animals or plants; not domesticated or cultivated; wild.
virile: Of, relating to, or having the characteristics of an adult male, especially the ability to perform sexually as a male. Having or showing masculine spirit, strength, vigor, or power.

With all the levity that the cat by-law provided today, off the air we were dealing with some incredibly sad news about the 3 Canadian soldiers who died in Afghanistan. No names released yet, but if any are from Atlantic Canada, I will post the names here and be sure to tune into C100 news at 4 and 5 for the latest.
What is also so sad is the story about the 15 and 14 year old boys missing at First Lake. I think everyone's hoping that they're all right, but the search of the lake continues. Our thoughts are definitely with the families of the boys and we pray that they are somehow found, safe and sound.

More tomorrow....including an hour with Darrell Dexter.
Take care,
Amber
