DaTruthSquad's Thanksgiving Wishes

It has turned into another interesting year in Manalapan. A mayor was booted from office, his handler was told by voters in District 12 that not only was she not wanted, she was not wanted by 2 out of every 3 voters! Alleged Manalapan/and or Freehold resident and alleged Republican/and or Democrat Andy Boy's hairline receded further. A woman was upset at being called a "lady," and it cost taxpayers $16,000. A former mayor continues his "First Amendment Lawsuit-To-Nowhere," and another former mayor and former township attorney has a lawsuit pending against Manalapan and some of their politicians, while Manalapan's police chief is also suing da town for discrimination.

Just another quiet Thanksgiving in Manalapan.

With that in mind, daTruthSquad has polled da TruthTellers with an interesting question -- what do some of Manalapan's characters have to be thankful for, and what will their Thanksgiving dinner table look like?????

Mayor Klauber: "Da Commissar" as he is known spent 34 months on da Manalapan Township Committee, and will spend da last 2 as "Lame Duck." He raised taxes two of da three years he was here, and this year used a controversial measure to keep taxes flat - one same one that he and da Queen once reviled. He promised to be da "Solar Committeeman," a promise he really didn't deliver. He promised civility during Township Committee meetings. If that wasn't a turkey of a promise, nothing was. He was, in effect, a failure. You don't even have to believe daTruthSquad on that - ask da voters who voted him off da Manalapan Township Committee island by a landslide. Even Democrats had enough of him. For da Commissar - no turkey for Thanksgiving - you get to eat Lame Duck, and for Manalapan voters, it was cooked to perfection.

Committeeman Andy Boy: When you ask da TruthTellers if someone is a Democrat or Republican, and each time da vote is 50/50, it tells you something. You cut taxes when you first took office, and then was an architect for the biggest 2-year tax hike in town history. Former enemies are now your friends, while former friends in da Manalapan GOP'er club don't want anything to do with you. We're not even sure if you're pro-police like you used to be. For all of this, we serve up a special holiday treat - Turkey and Chicken, you get half of each with extra half & half for your coffee, and waffles for dessert.

Police Chief Stu Brown: You apparently did raise your voice during a meeting, called a woman a "lady," and for that, instead of being locked in chains or face summary execution or a cell in Guantanamo like some may have wanted, you get a paid day off and once you take that day, an unblemished record. You also stood up for your principles, and didn't let a bully try to take your milk money. For that, you not only get a turkey dinner with all da trimmings, you also get our respect.

Manalapan Township Administrator Tara Tiara: Much like da turkey on Thanksgiving, you also find yourself in da center of da rack at 350 degrees. You sided with da Queen, and now find yourself da DEFENDANT in a lawsuit. Because you allegedly can't get along with a member of your staff, you were ready to charge Manalapan taxpayers with hiring a six-figure person whose job it would have been to walk down a hall between your two offices! For Thanksgiving, you get a turkey - minus da legs since during "Lady-Gate," you showed you had none to stand on.

Incoming Manalapan Township Committeeman Ryan Green: You barely campaigned, had no money raised by your campaign manager, didn't look good in da debate, yet took down da Commissar by a landslide. Despite not getting daTruthSquad's endorsement, congratulations on your victory. Now, Manalapan residents will soon see which Ryan Green they elected. Will he stand up to cronyism? Will he stand up against meetings turning into mockeries? Will he keep his promises? Will he side with da Queen and be da deciding vote on her becoming mayor next year? All good questions, but for now, we will give Sir Ryan, a potential white knight, da benefit of da doubt. For Thanksgiving, you are given a dinner with all da trimmings for turning da Commissar into a Lame Duck.

Snoozer Editor Mark Rosman: Since you took over as da Manalapan reporter, you have shown absolutely no bias in your news reports at all, and people have started trusting what they read there. You no longer allow da printing of press releases. Nothing is one-sided. For you, a turkey dinner with all da trimmings for good and extremely unbiased work this year.

Blogger-To-Da-Few Kathy "Back-Page" Barrrattta: You have won several achievements, including a number of BaconHead Awards. You started a blog as an election started, and tried to sell it once da election was over. It has turned into a chat room for da four member "He-Man Mosked man Hater's Club," and it's no surprise that da number of readers of this blog increased. For your Thanksgiving dinner, daTruthsquad offers you da town's biggest turkey - your blog, and stools for da 4 people who post there to join you for a dish of crow.

Committeewoman Susan Cohen: You spoke your mind and received a censure, while da Queen spoke her mind and was defeated in a landslide election. You can say you have served da last 22 months with honor and distinction, and became a role model of honesty as a member of da Township Committee. You said when you were elected that "You Work For Us." For as long as daTruthSquad can remember, you are da only one who not only backed up your slogan, and have done so with distinction. Your only flaw -- you said you won't run for reelection, which is something that isn't in da best interest of Manalapan residents, but understandable considering what you have been put through. You too get a dinner with all da trimmings, and our bountiful thanks.

Committeewoman Michelle Roth: You have had a very interesting year. You have been on da receiving end of two lawsuits, lost your biggest election by a historic landslide, went after da chief of police for calling you a "lady," and became da poster child for why Manalapan politics has been compared to that of places like Camden, Jersey City, and 3rd world dictatorships. Da voters have spoken, and who knows, they may speak again in two years. We could say a lot more, but instead, we'll just serve you up dinner. For Thanksgiving, you get a turkey, but due to all of da municipal tax increases you've handed Manalapan residents, your turkey has no meat - only bones. For your hubby, Sir Lawrence of Manalapan, for everything he has written on da so-called HATE blog, he gets a side dish of crow. And, no Italian take-out food will be allowed on Thanksgiving.

Da Mosked Man: You spent 25 months battling a lawsuit that in da end, da township was forced to withdraw due to no evidence. Da whole event would have been over, with no further legal activity, if not for a member of da township committee who wouldn't agree to da deal brokered by both parties and approved by da judge. Now ,you must sue da town for remedy for their lawsuit, which could cost taxpayers big. You now represent da chief in his discrimination lawsuit against da same people who went after you. While this year has been interesting for you, next year, with both lawsuits entering da discovery phase, which could be revealing to say da least, will be even more interesting. Your holiday dinner will consist of a turkey with all da trimmings, and a special thick steak served on a hot "Stone."

To all our brothers and sisters in da Manalapan Police Department, a safe year and thanks for all of your hard work. To our friends at EMS, thank you for your volunteerism and doing more with less thanks to da township committee. To da citizens of Manalapan and our worldwide readers, our promise to continue blogging until Manalapan is safe and rid of political incorrectness in Town Hall. To da people who continue, even in da face of danger, to supply this blog with inside da Town Hall information, our eternal thanks for being patriots for da cause of justice and rightousness.

DaTruthSquad wishes all of our thousands of weekly readers da very best this holiday. Be safe, be well, and try not to file any lawsuits against anyone, or defame anyone by speaking during meetings.

Happy Thanksgiving to all, and that's daTruth.
