Neary-Sighted

You also have to chuckle. Many members of the political group Lakewood Cares are convinced that The News Tribune is out to get them. But the paper sometimes does them favors just in the act of doing business. Whoever wrote today's headline in The News Tribune ought to get a Cares membership card. The headline seeks to provoke members of the public who are unhappy with the rising cost of everything. The idea that government, in the act of providing services, is 'splurging,' taps into public anger and resentment - which of course is Lakewood Cares' trademarked maneuver.

Is the act of spending 'splurging,' or is that a loaded word? It will be interesting to hear the reaction at tonight's hearing.
