Forget this blog today. Read this instead

Caleb "C-War" Warnock gives us the rundown on a two-hour verbal bombardment directed at him by the Cedar Hills City Council. Blockquote, take it away!

There is an easy way to check the facts that were reported in the newspaper. Cedar Hills Council meetings are recorded and posted on the city's Web site under "City Council Minutes." Repeatedly in this week's meeting, I was verbally upbraided, along with my employer. Council members referred to a misunderstanding, yellow journalism, a desperate attempt to sell newspapers, sensationalism, and lies on my part. Before the meeting, Wright even called me at home, and shouted that I was "evil" and a "liar."

Somehow I had caused all the trouble by quoting council members in a public meeting.

Gotta say, you'd think over two hours that a whole council would land at least one blow. Nope.

Public officials saying it's a shame to read the newspaper? Isn't that the kind of attitude that got the whole inquisition started? I hope none of them have any higher political ambitions than that city council. Let's build a wall so they can't get out.
