CCR 12-25-18 Dylan's Christmas Message

the   Controversial  Committee   Report
“We don’t raise sacred cows...we just butcher them.” 



“Treat yourself to a
Happy Holiday”

From the staff of the CCR: Dylan, Mark, and Mike

   Tis the Christmas Season.  Be happy, joyous and wonder if your nearly melted credit card is good for just one more purchase. 

   Without a doubt, 2018 was a year filled with countless “Potholes of Life.”  Some were deeper than others.  Take time now to rest, give thanks for all the filled potholes, and strive to make 2019 a year of good harmony and BaconBits galore.

   As you nog the eggs, roast your nuts, and flash that Scrooge-like grin on the neighbor who just drove by in a new Bugatti Veyron Super Sport to cruise ‘beautiful downtown Irving,’ remember: Some folks still believe money creates happiness…when actually, money only makes politicos happy.  

   Genuine happiness can also be achieved when all the governmental institutions and elected officials actually serve those intended to be served, and not just those who play the system for personal gain, ego satisfaction, or empire building efforts.

    This Christmas salutation is being sent to the CCR readership list, blog page viewers (600/month) and all the Internet-web-thingy folks who supported me in my "almost" mayor of Irving campaign; and later commented on my role as the Executive editor/Part-time wordsmith and Social Media Troll for the CCR.

     Would you like another shot of Bailey’s Irish cream in that hot chocolate?


   Woof.  Woof(Translation: Merry Christmas)

Note:  For many, many years, the CCR has purchased Christmas cards (like the one above) from a terrific artist and Westie illustrator, Ms. Deborah Borgo.  Not only is her art work fantastic, but her five Westies are also champions in the dog show arena.  We thank Ms. Borgo for her skills and extend our appreciation for her work.



CCR Peek for 2019:
  • Is there a new champion, for ‘beautiful downtown Irving,’ who is ready to plant fast growing seeds of quality growth and bureaucratic-free development? 
  • Prepare for the upcoming city elections featuring those re-election  candidates praying for voters to catch VA (Voter Amnesia).
  • How are the potholes on your street doing?  Take a ride with a PHD (Pothole Horrific Despair) watcher to evaluate.

    LAWYER STUFF:  Dylan’s Ruffings, the Controversial Committee Report, ZAP! and the O-file are published by Mark Holbrook who everyone knows -- except for a couple apathetic slugs whose IQ equals their shoe size -- is Mike Howard.  Any reference to persons deceased is purely out of respect.  For those still living, draw your own conclusions.  Get in line if you want to sue or complain.  Better yet, call someone who might really care.  Letters written must meet at least one of the following criteria: humorous, cat kicking, or not libelous.  Simple requirements for simple readers...that’s our philosophy.  “Cool and the Geezer” is syndicated by Ringtail Productions Limited and all rights are reserved.  The CCR and ZAP! are printed and issued only when local political idiocy becomes laughable.  Permission is granted to copy, fax, or e-mail this report to a friend, associate, or someone you really don’t like.  The “candid” conversation reports have been injected with fabricated nouns, verbs, conjunctions, adverbs, modifiers and maybe a few dangling participles.
