New Business
CCA Steering Committee
recommends ground-breaking two part quid-pro-quo agreement with GPA in
recognition of 2012 GPA-sponsored political fundraisers on behalf of
CCA-endorsed candidates. Committee proposes sanctuary adoption of endangered
species parrots Psycho and Guano, empty-nesting on Pott Ridge since Halloween 2001.
Contingent on finalized adoption of certification paperwork, committee further
recommends appointment of Guano to Charo Stool Committee, an international 501(c)(3) nonprofit group providing affordable stadium seating to needy students who
have never had opportunity to see aging Spanish-American flamenco-guitar phenom
Charo inspire people worldwide. Memorandum of Agreement stipulates Psycho
permitted to accompany/mentor Guano as she strives to leave her stool mark on society.
Motion by Sensei Woo to
accept GPA quid-pro-quo Endangered Parrot Species Agreement. Motion seconded by
Passa DeMayo. Motion passed, 2-0, three abstentions, seven unaccounted for.

About Charles Townsend
Charles during his days as a working reporter |
Newly recruited occasional contributor Charles
Townsend is a retired private investigator residing with his daughter,
son-in-law, and grandchildren in Burdickville. He’s a regular reader of the
Westerly Sun, a devotee of ClerkBase video, and a member of the Wood-Pawcatuck
Watershed Association.
Charlie likes writing parody, and has submitted pieces
for publication in satirical journals dozens of times since high school, “but
no one is ever willing to pay me, including you guys. Especially you guys.”
He considers his writing, “a cathartic relief from
self-absorbed washed-up wannabes who think they still have something to offer
to the community, when what they really need to do is shut up, go home, read a
good book, and leave working people alone.”
We are reluctant to ask why he agreed to pen for PC.
He makes no apologies for his Libertarian slant. So we’re not sure what his
true agenda may be. For now, we’ll just go with it and see where it takes us.
As usual, file your comments in the appropriate box, and be nice.
Happy April 1st!
