Stranger Than Heaven: City Council Votes to Spend $50k on 'Soul Cleansing' for Pigeons While Our Streets Are Full of Potholes
Oh, for crying out loud. You can't make this stuff up. I literally choked on my coffee this morning when I saw the agenda from last night's council meeting. While 90% of us are just trying to get to work without blowing a tire on Main Street, our "leaders" unanimously approved a 50-thousand-dollar pilot program to hire a professional "Avian Energy Harmonizer" to perform soul cleansings on the pigeons roosting in the downtown plaza. This is stranger than heaven, I swear. Common sense says you buy a net, or you get a hawk, or you just let the cats handle it. But no, we need a man in a hemp robe waving sage at a bunch of rats with wings. And the best part? The budget for fixing the school roof got cut again. Unreal.
