It’s Mish-Mash Friday at The New Takhoman

We cleaned out our E-Mail inbox today and here are some of the leftovers

Weed eaters arise. No not the brownie snarfing kind: United for Peace of Pierce County invites you to an afternoon of tasting “mostly locally-sourced” cuisine with a weed-eating flair this Sunday at the home of Steve and Colleen Phillbrook, 3901 North 37^th, Tacoma.

The 3 pm supper prepared by Rosalind Bell, “Tacoma’s wonderful wizard of cooking with love and art” will feature a menu including nettles, dandelions, sorrel, chicken, shrimp (not from her yard), and an assortment of wines.

Watch Bell cook while see talks about the ingredients and their carbon footprint said the presser.

The initials T.C. are still a deep dark secret: It appears U.S. Senate candidate Will Baker has way too much time on his gadfly antennae and has come up with a top ten list of their possible Broadnax meanings.

1. Maybe T.C. stands for Too Cool?
 
2. Maybe T.C. stands for Terribly Common?
 
3. Maybe T.C. stands for Tan Cupcake?
 
4. Maybe T.C. stands for Terrifies Councilmembers?
 
5. Maybe T.C. stands for Tropical Chill?
 
6. Maybe T.C. stands for Taking Cashbox?
 
7. Maybe T.C. stands for Totally Circumcised?
 
8. Maybe T.C. stands for Totally Cuddly?
 
9. Maybe T.C. stands for Tacoma Captive?
 
10. Maybe T.C. stands for Top Cat?

From what we’ve seen so far we will go with #4 and by the by T.C. still ain’t talking while the flavor of his (#5) Tropical Chill gum lasts.

Power really does corrupt as scientists claim. It's as addictive as cocaine: Or so says an article in the April 28 Daily Mail.

“More than a hundred years after noted historian Baron John Acton coined the phrase 'power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely' scientists claim the saying is biologically true.

The feeling of power has been found to have a similar effect on the brain to cocaine by increasing the levels of testosterone and its by-product 3-androstanediol in both men and women.

This in turn leads to raised levels of dopamine, the brain’s reward system called the nucleus accumbens, which can be very addictive. 

Cocaine works in a similar way, which can have varied effects from increasing alertness, confidence, energy, feelings of well-being and euphoria, but also anxiety, paranoia and restlessness.

Power has almost identical effects to cocaine and too much of it can produce too much dopamine leading to more negative effects such as arrogance and impatience.”

The claims by Dr. Ian Robertson may go some way in explaining the outlandish and impulsive behavior of our elected officials and city fat cats.

We knew about this lust for power Councilman Mello, just not the “WHY”!

And just when we thought bizarre news couldn’t get anymore bizarre we were sent this doobie: Looks like Florida has a sheriff just like Arizona has. "You kill a policeman it means no arrest ...no Miranda rights ...no negotiations ...nothing but as many bullets as we can shoot into you ...period”, sez Polk County Florida Sheriff Grady Judd.

An illegal alien who got pulled over in a routine Polk County traffic stop, ended up "executing" the deputy who stopped him. The deputy was shot eight times, including once behind his right ear at close range. Another deputy was wounded and a police dog killed. A state-wide manhunt ensued.

The murderer was found hiding in a wooded area. As soon as he took a shot at the SWAT team, officers opened fire on him. They hit the guy 68 times.

Naturally, the liberal media went nuts and asked why they had to shoot the poor, undocumented immigrant 68 times.

Sheriff Grady Judd told the Orlando Sentinel, "Because that's all the ammunition we had."
The Coroner also reported that the illegal alien died of natural causes. When asked by a reporter how that could be, since there were 68 bullet wounds in his body, he simply replied, "When you are shot 68 times you are naturally gonna die.

Back to the local scene, here’s how one reader views our T-Town’s Council of None: “The whole lot of them ought to be tarred, feathered, have a feather duster stuck in their backsides and a rubber glove stretched over their scalps and be put on display as the last living flock of dodo birds.”

Until next time Dear Readers…
