The More Things Change...

It seems amazing, doesn't it?

Despite having an overwhelming advantage in registration, as well as having almost all elected positions (and some have suggested they have all elected positions), the Democrats are a-warmin' up for yet another internecine rumble for control of the Democratic Town Committee.

Word is that a challenge slate, allied with current DTC Chair Jim Morrissey, has already been set up to challenge the supporters of Mayor Picard...and vice-versa.

I've heard that Himself is mounting a challenge to remove Morrissey from the Chairmanship, and in response, Morrissey is firing back to solidify his hold on the Town Committee. Of course, there's a version which makes Morrissey the aggressor and Picard the aggrieved, but really...what's the difference?

The Town Committee must endorse candidates between January 5 and January 12. UPDATE: I found the legal notice from the Dems stating that the DTC Meeting will be held tomorrow at 7:00 PM in the North Courtroom of City Hall. Challengers to these endorsed candidates have until January 27th to get sufficient signatures to force a primary. A primary for these seats, if needed, will be held on March 2...with another $30,000 out of our taxes paying for it.

So....away we go: I'm reminded by the wise words of Shakespeare: "Once more, into the breach, dear friends, once more..." - Henry V

Or more appropriately:

"Cry Havoc! and let loose the dogs of war!" - Julius Caesar
