Well, my cover is finally blown. RR has often been accused by our Lefties as trying to pass itself off as an ‘oh so smart’ blog. But no more. My nemesis came this morning when I opened the Tuesday Union to its op-ed page to enjoy Bob’s regular ‘It Takes a Village Idiot’ offering that I share with readers below.
After some considerable study and consultation with my beloved cooking wench, we both came away puzzled, and more importantly, embarrassed. We didn’t have a clue as to what the Crabb Man was telling us. As a devoted fan of crabbisms, crabbastications, and divers crabbophilia in general, this was most distressing. Clearly the graphic intends to convey a deep message to the broad audiences that regularly peruse The Union’s pages for local wisdom and goings on. And now suddenly I found myself left out, and scratching my shiny pate.
So I’m appealing to Sir Robert himself and any other kind-hearted RR readers to explain, as gently as possible, the meaning of a throng of people bearing torches, pitchforks, and claiming some mandate while assaulting a windowless castle that flies the banner of the (formerly) Almighty Dollar, and is the repository and bastion of something or someone in need of such a formidable redoubt. To amplify my question mark, I see an occupant wearing a military style hat peering down from the ramparts.
Having now confessed, and hopefully soon in possession of the clarifying explanation, I thereby appeal for reinstatement as a member in good standing of Nevada County’s broad audiences and general public.
