The stuff that gets slipped under the door here at the Water Tower can be pretty funny. Though this Tatt thinks this is a rip of a cartoon from somewhere else.

Who is the Machurian Candidate in Ward 3?
The Tattler works hard to keep the Water Tower clean and makes sure it doesn’t get fouled by bad mannered guests. The stuff that gets slipped under the door can be pretty odoriferous. The Tattler can even get snookered by some of that stuff.
The dust up between Gawlas and Bodary on Ypsi’s westside never materialized, despite tattlers from all over the city chirping away that Mayor Cheryl Farmer was pushing Gawlas to run as a write in.
If YpsiNews can be trusted, Gawlas didn’t file as a write in for next weeks election. Now the Tatt can’t be sure who to trust in this election.
The campaign for Ypsilanti City Council on the Eastside in Ward 3 is getting weirder by the day. While there are three candidates the race really seems to be between Mike Eller and Pete Murdock.
Murdock is part of the old guard that is mad about how the city has been run for the last 12 years and the mess created by Farmer and Schreiber with the City Income Tax and the Water Street Fiasco.
Eller was also opposed to the City Income Tax and is no friend of Farmer too. Yet tattlers from the Eastside have been telling the feathered one that Cheryl and company have been helping Eller behind the scenes.
Farmer and Friends would rather see Eller on council than Murdock. Eller’s political party opposes women on the police force or in the military.
City announces new name for Water Street, Farmers Folly
While the early bird gets the worm, the Tattler would rather hang out with friends all night at Abe’s Coney Island and sleep in. So when we got up late this morning, we found some love in our in-box.
Mark Maynard ran with our story about Austin, Texas not happy about losing the movie Whip It! to Ypsilanti. Then Jordan Miller got wind of our video story on Ypsilanti is Better.
Show me some love Ypsilanti. The Tattler was feeling good.
So we climbed down the Tower, any flying this early in the morning before coffee is dangerous for the Tattler and everyone on the ground, and headed over to the Ugly Mug for a wake up call.
Swift boating up the Huron River
When we got back, slipped under the nest was a political hack letter from Mayor Schreiber and friends addressed Dear Ypsilanti Political Observers. Oh good, fresh paper to line the nest.
We sent the $1.54 they spent on stamps and the large manila envelope over for DNA testing. We told the lab it was for a paternity test. We don’t want anyone fowling the nest.
I think we will flap over to Water Street and see if the new sign renaming Water Street is up. With a little cloud cover the fishing should be pretty good this afternoon. We put in our suggestion, they should call Water Street, Farmers Folly. That beats what one mayoral appointee suggested they should call it, “Goose Shit Acres.”
