Well, it's New Year's Eve, as another memorable year draws to a close. And here at Weber County Forum, no year can be regarded as complete without offering our readers a glance at humor columnist Dave Barry's anual year-end wrap-up. So here's the 2009 version, folks, straight from the pages of the Miami Herald:
• Dave Barry's year in review: 2009And when you're done with that, we invite our readers to chime in with their own nominations for the most humorous, ironic, politically embarrassing and/or otherwise significant stories to have been revealed on the Emerald City scene during the year 2009. And just to get the ball rolling, we'll ask our gentle readers... how about these?
Continuing revelations regarding 2007 municipal election campaign contribution corruption?
Boss Godfrey's shockingly candid apology for Dining Car/Tourist Information Center cost overruns, and John "Pureheart" Patterson's subsequent admission that he's an idiot?
Stories involving Boss Godfrey's hand-picked "blue ribbon" "Citizens'"Golf Course Committee, which ultimately produced the exact recommendation which Godfrey watchers expected?
Boss Godfrey's incessant and seemingly incurable Gondola Obsession?
The public financial collapse of Ogden River Project "moneyman," Gadi Leshem, perhaps?
Boss Godfrey's highly fortuitous Capital Improvement Fund misappropiation bailout?
Stories related to Godfreyite council candidate David Phipps, chronicling the campaign "meltdown" of arguably the most inept council candidate in the history of Emerald City?
Lots of stories to choose from during the past year.
Who will be the first to comment?
And yes... Happy New Year, everyone!
