ernie
raze the_bacon_man is dying. he's in hospice care. the doctors say he's got a month left. maybe three if he's lucky. our smug fuck of a mayor gave him an award of recognition after years of publicly pissing in his face, turning an adversary's terminal illness into a photo op. because that's what politicians do. ernie was never really one of those, though he campaigned five times. he was the first person to suggest windsor build a casino. everyone laughed at him. then they stole his idea and made a fortune. his last request is to be wheeled into city hall on a stretcher so he can make one final pitch. i ran into him once at the printing place i used to deal with. he looked at me and said, "i know you." he had me confused with someone else. i kind of wish he'd been mayor for at least one term. some of his ideas were insane, but his heart was in the right place. that's more than you can say for just about every elected official that's ever claimed to care about this city. 231107
