A letter from Kearney Councillor Barry Dingwall appeared in the August 31, 2012 edition of the Almaguin News. Does Councillor Dingwall speak to the town's finances, what initiatives he's going to propose to improve tourism, the progress of the Ralph Bice Centre he promised to bring to fruition? Does he express shock or horror at the recent attack on a citizen and his family (allegedly) by his neighbour and fellow GLLRG member? No. Instead he's still whining about our blog and the "small-minded" (according to Dingwall) people who read it:

Amazing how much hyperbole you can cram into such a small space, eh? But, we especially like the part where Dingwall tries to show his rapier wit with "Anonymous blogs are seen as non-artistic graffiti with punctuation". An ironic quote in that it's from the 2011 movie Contagion in which a blogger tries to expose deceptive government policy. Not surprisingly, Dingwall doesn't credit the line to anyone but himself, although he did alter it enough that hopefully nobody will notice he plagiarized it. Good choice though, Barry! Almost as good as Tomlinson's "fool some of the people all of the time" misfire.
But Dingwall wasn't the only one from Kearney to write the Almaguin News this week. While Dingwall was lying awake at night obsessively-compulsing about our blog and thinking up movie quotes, former Councillor Shirley Reeds was giving serious thought to how Council doesn't seem to know what's going on, or how to comport itself:

Maybe if Dingwall spent as much time reading up on FIR ratings as he does googling movie quotes, the Town of Kearney might have half a chance.
Are you surprised?
