Slip and Fall WHAT?
Not that it isn’t just plain good fun sometimes. Even ol’ Abe looked backward and forward once, in a letter to a friend during some of the darkest moments of the Civil War and wrote, “…and then we’ll have some fun at this once again.”
Dour John Adams could be caught at times relishing the fray, and even producing a chuckle once in a long while — though never admitting so, of course, in any letter back to Abigail.
If you watch carefully, you’ll even see laughter in Borough Council meetings. Honest. But you don’t have to trust me on that. Ask Tom Mitchell.
I like having fun covering politics.
But that fun happens along the way toward some pretty serious goals. Politics, after all, is where we ask the very biggest questions about who we should be and what we should do, together.
Guy Ciarrocchi, Republican candidate for the Pennsylvania House 157th District, is serious about politics. Paul Drucker, his opponent, is serious about politics.
That is to say that we here in this district have the very great benefit of having two serious candidates with serious proposals between which to choose in this election. We are fortunate.
But the recent entry of an opponent-bashing exercise from the Ciarrocchi campaign against the Drucker campaign, an exercise that's supposed to make you laugh and shake your head in disbelief, is not serious. It does not comport with what we know about the candidate the exercise is trying to support.
But that’s not the worst of it. The worst of it is that’s it’s just not funny.
