Lennie "The Heckler" Chism Has A New Cause...

So a little birdie told me through the grapevine on the downlow that Lennie "The Heckler" Chism has a new cause. According to a secondhand report...

"Lennie is on some binge about demanding that the city offer poor Uncle Bill's (a drug hangout) the exact same funding that George and Bev worked for to open Homewood Studios (a valuable asset to the community). It's so stupid there's no place to begin arguing with him--which I guess is his basic strategy."

I'm so glad to hear Lennie hasn't put all his eggs in one basket when it comes to his career. Heckling is, at best, a part time opportunity. But griping about Uncle Bill's not getting any funding? You can ride that miserable pony of an issue all day long until it drops dead, then cloak yourself in its rancid hide. Good job, Lennie. I was really worried you had faded away, but I should have known better.

You mean money to go away? Last I heard Uncle Bill's (the entire building) had a date with the wrecking ball.

Haha... Lennie. What a nut. Well, if you are going to be crazy, it's better to be the happy kind of crazy and not the dark, angry, muttering crazy. Go Lennie!

I'd like to see what his plan is, but I can't help but to wonder if it might not be yet another gambit to take money intended to develop the North Side and turn it over to a select few insiders. That seems to be a pretty common practice in this neck of the woods.
