Council meeting better than TV
I hate to admit it, but I’m addicted to action movies and TV shows. I love watching the good guys defeat the bad guys. But now with the holiday season upon us, most of my regular shows I watch on TV are all reruns so I have been suffering from withdrawals.
Just when I thought I was doomed to watching nothing but boring, ho-hum TV shows, something wonderful happened! While using my remote to surf through the TV channels, I found a new live action reality show. And it’s even produced here locally on Kauai!
The show is on the Ho’ike channel and is called “Kauai County Council Meetings.” Man, what action! The two main antagonists are JoAnn Yukimura and Mel Rapozo. Watching them bicker back and forth while Mel pounds his gavel is real entertainment!
I have not figured out yet which is the good guy and which is the bad guy, but no matter. Grab a chair, turn on your TV and enjoy the show. I’ll bring the popcorn.

Trump doesn’t deserve support
Gordon Oswald’s Nov. 30 letter employs the technique TGI readers have come to expect: Tell a big lie, that President Obama’s policies have “failed,” repeat it ad nauseum; then move on to name-calling using bully words like “weak, ineffective, stupid.” Mix in a tad of racism by implying that the president is a closet Muslim, and there you have it.
In this case, Oswald goes on to express his admiration for Donald Trump. Why? Because he’s made tons of money (starting with a “little loan” of $1 million from his Daddy) and that is all that ever counts with Oswald. This is the same Trump, just listing the most recent of his atavistic, racist rants, who has:
• Retweeted a graphic claiming “White killed by blacks: 81 percent.” When called on it, Trump claimed “I don’t have time to check the facts on everything I retweet.”
• Said “Maybe he should have been roughed up,” regarding a black man beaten up at a Trump rally.
• Says he wants to bring back torturing (waterboarding) of suspects.
• Claimed that “thousands and thousands” of people in a “heavily Arab population” of Jersey City cheered and applauded as the towers were falling on 9/11/01.
Every American with an IQ over room temperature realizes what a sick joke Donald Trump is.
