Spring came late to the valley this year, when four large frogs appeared on the front lawn near the county courthouse over the weekend. The Frogs had not been seen since March of last year when they were much in evidence in support of the Boiled Frog party. Apparently the sound of all the pandering in the current election awoke them from their hibernation.
Speaking of pandering, check out the youtube video posted by the Democratic team and heavily promoted to college students. In it college students are urged by ‘Che’ Wilcox (appropriately wearing a red sweater) to “send a message to Washington” by electing the straight Democratic ticket. There’s nothing more pathetic than an aging hipster!
Not to be outdone, Republican Will Wadsworth has sent out an e-mail to college students touting his involvement in the Geneseo Rental Housing Association as somehow beneficial for students. He concludes, “You should vote for me because I am the only candidate who has worked to protect your opportunity to choose an affordable alternative to living on campus.” Of course, he doesn’t tell them that the Town Supervisor position has absolutely nothing to do with village housing regulations.
Isn’t it a little sad that the future of our town may be decided by who can best pander to the students? That’s politics!
