This isn't news, and it isn't breaking. And no, this is not another Lieberman diary. This is comic relief for political animals.
Meet David R. Grubb; city dump expert, staunch Republican, and Christian hell-raiser. Every Friday he takes his three minutes in front of the Monroe County (Indiana) City Council, and exposes the "greed, crud and fraud" that keeps Bloomington from being the conservative bastion that it once was. He's not afraid to call a spade a spade - or a queer a queer. And we have nine wonderful short videos of some of his time in front of the city council in a collection that has been dubbed
The Grubb Files. As the episodes progress, you see him wither before your own eyes like some Dorian Gray of local politics. Often hilarious but always bizarre (and sometimes with a complete maple leaf hanging from his beard), David R. Grubb deserves at least a little space in everyone's political psyche. If for no other reason than to remind us of what hope never to become.
Pour yourself a glass of wine, sit back and enjoy...
