Oh the humanity
Larry Leaming is an idiot. If I was being less civil, I would call Larry Leaming a f****** idiot. If the judge told me I couldn't say it, but s/he couldn't stop me from thinking it, I would say, "I think Larry Leaning is a f****** idiot." The man has nothing on his resume that would suggest "Savior", yet the current hospital board, attempting to save an institution they repeatedly assure us is not at risk of collapse, lays palm branches at his feet.
Ex-mayor Bill Pinkham is beyond idiot, he has drifted into "locked ward of the Alzheimer's unit" territory. Board members who cover up his glaring loss of gray matter may all be Mensa-level (who knows, they refuse to be tested) but in any event, their compassion does a disservice to the community at large.
I know this, because former paratrooper and no-nonsense pastor Hal Irvine tells me so. Of course, he traffics in civility, it is his 24-hours-a-day job, but very quickly he will recognize this town practices one-sided civility, where folks like Larry and Bill place their jackboot directly on your neck, while cooing soft nothings in your ear.
Luckily, in Estes Park, both of these village idiots have plenty of companionship, so they will never be lonely. Here, for example, is a photo of the accountant Angela Eckert. If your town recently misplaced a moron, she may be the answer to your Amber alert. Angela doesn't know the first rule of serving as a proxy voice, which is, BEFORE YOU SPOUT NONSENSE, MAKE SURE TO CURATE YOUR FACEBOOK FRIENDS LIST. (This is in all caps because loudly is how Angela communicates.)
Dr. Koschnitzke has plenty of proxies in town, generally his new wife serves as his mouthpiece, but now Angela Eckert has taken on this mantle, perhaps to try deflecting the heat. Angela, you need to go "once removed" (think of the Kirk Lazarus quote from "Tropic Thunder", and do exactly the opposite) when you engage in these games. Perhaps your new husband should be Dr. K's spokesmodel over the ensuing weeks, because he is unlikely to leave such a slime trail.
Here is Angela's steamy-fresh contribution to Estes Truth:
Just when Estes Truth had a good head of its own steamy going, Angela played the "damned if you do, damned if you don't thing huh" card. Sixth graders everywhere, rejoice. You may have been out of school today, but Angela has your back. Next, she will entertain the crowd with her rendition of the motto "if at first you don't succeed" while interpretive dancing to the ditty about an ant and a rubber tree.
So Estes Truth thinks we need good candidates for hospital board huh? Well, I wonder where we could possibly find any of those? Did any of the candidates who ran against Bill's hush-hush plumbing squad last November file this time around? Did the eminently qualified author of Estes Truth file? Did any of the folks behind the last recall committee file?
Who in town is a graduate of a top 10 medical school, and worked at various high-level government research positions here in the U.S. and abroad for a quarter of a century, retiring here to unassumingly share his work ethic and broad knowledge? Was it Charley Dickey? No, but you're getting closer. Art Messal? Gosh, that just doesn't sound right. Who should we endorse for hospital board this time around? More to the point, who did we find to run for hospital board this time around?
Nestle amongst the idiots those twitards who yell and yell on the internet about all the stupidity going on around them and don't recognize the three things that actually might effect change in this redneck of the woods:
(1) Boycott the Trail-Gazette. (Boycott means stop buying, and stop reading, especially on-line). If the Trail-Gazette covers the Dr. MacElwee suspension/dismissal in any form other than regurgitation of a press release drafted by the CEO, the moon will escape its orbit.
(2) Protest in great numbers outside the institution(s) that are offensively stupid and know they are offensively stupid and recognize they can get away with it because complaining in Estes Park is currently a dish only served sitting down.
(3) Find hospital board candidates who can fix the problem, and instead of cratering them weeks before ballots arrive in the mailbox, or criticizing them behind the scenes, work hard to elect them. It's not like we have to worry about "perfect being the enemy of the good" in Estes Park. We are currently at the level of "evil and/or misguided intentions being the enemy of blatant skin-saving corruption".
UPDATE AT 7:11 (the time, not the convenience store): MayBill (or vacationing Larry) has cobbled 42 words together, likely with the assistance of his drool nurse or the League, prior to heading off to bed. "I am aware of the situation and, as you know, I cannot comment on personnel matters. Our administration and medical staff leadership have had ongoing involvement and are working for a satisfactory solution that will be in the best interest of all (our hospital foundation members and major donors)."
Okay, I added those last seven words to try getting the word count up to 50 (the minimum needed for a winning advertising jingle), but you get the drift.
