Corky and I have gone to several LIVE meetings. They are quite a treat. I actually asked him if he wanted to go today, but I didn’t want to be at a meeting until midnight on a hot topic night like tonight! We were there one time and Christine got up and talked about the city’s budget. Here is my favorite Christine Timmons quote: “If I ran my personal finances like you run the city’s, I wouldn’t be driving my brand new bright yellow Chevy Cobalt!” A week later, Corky passed her in it on Miller Road near the Comcast building where she used to shoot her cable access show. Have you seen her public access shows? This is a whole different show here…you have to check it out! Now that I think about it…have you seen John Magnopoulos? He is another local treasure. You can find some videos on youtube of him or watch his show. I think he is on Monday night.

And now she’s talking about her “hard earned disability check”… really? Hard earned disability? isn’t that an oxymoron?!

Christine is actually not as dolled up as usual. Although she looks like she’s wearing a dead animal on her head. She does have some bedazzling on her face though and some boat anchors for earings- but sadly no sequins tonight. She’s in the front row cheering away as people give their comments… she alone is entertaining enough!

What I really want to know is…what is Christine Timmons wearing? She is a diva and knows how to pull off wearing a faux fur and feather boa in the same outfit. Her hair is usually glittered out and she may have crystals bedazzling her face. If you don’t know who she is, I can email you a picture of her!

Yeah, I’m kind of a dork too. I worked in news when I lived in Peoria and covered their City Council for two years. I got hooked. For some reason, I just like following politics….and City Council is usually the most entertaining.

LOL…I thought that I was the only one addicted to watching Lansing City Council meetings…Thanks for the live updates!!! When I lived downtown, I was a regular attendee and it was always an educational (and entertaining) evening…Amy’s apartment complex doesn’t carry Comcast, so I don’t have the opportunity to watch the proceedings on TV…

If you haven’t done so already, you really need to attend one of the City Council meetings in person and watch the regulars and their cheering section in action…There is SO much action the camera doesn’t capture…
