Introducing ... Frustro! the Magnificent!!

So ... there are days and then there are days. Days when one wonders just how much more insane this world can get. Just how much more convoluted can the thought processes of our politicians get? Just how much more demand on our pocketbooks can we stand?

Well, I decided to ask Frustro! the Magnificent those questions. And I have to tell ya - poor Frustro! was totally rocked on his heels!! As Frustro! read through other blogs and the local news rag he started crying. Such an odd sight.

Poor, poor Frustro! He's overwhelmed by the closing of the NW station of Toledo Police Department, the senseless murder that took place in East Toledo, the apparent gang violence that's becoming pervasive in our city, the lack of services after we, the people, got duped into supporting the 3/4% tax - again, the very apparent dissension between our Lucas County Commissioners, the stranglehold of the local unions, and it goes on and on and on and ...

Frustro! please - dry your eyes. It's much easier to see your way out of this with clear and dry eyes. After all, at this point too many of us have been disenchanted and it won't help if you get that way, too!

So ---- just what do you see happening here, Frustro!?

Thinking ..... thinking ..... thinking .....

Me thinks that there shall be more unemployment due to the overall state of the economy, that the metropolitan population will dwindle to levels consistent with a ghost town, the Marina District will eventually become a reality - too late, businesses will continue to close due to the insanity of our city council and all their "emergency" ordinances, there will be no convenience stores or day care centers, the theories of free enterprise will become text in a history book - nothing more, the housing market will become a real task - people upside down all over the place, and the choices for elected officials will look like the cast from Deliverance - dueling banjos and all.

But don't despair! After the federal government comes in and takes the city into receivership there will be those dreaded soldiers in the streets (scaring the citizens), the banks will be shuttered and dark, the police will be on bicycles as there will be no money for cars or fuel, and we will be starting over from scratch.

And I'm not sure that's a bad thing.
