Carpetbaggers even at Christmas

Our Mayor for Life did not participate in the annual Massillon Holiday Parade last Saturday. We assumed it was because he was hunkered down so deep in the mayoral bunker, hiding from the forces of evil, that this was just one more example of him not participating in community events of any kind, except Massillon Tiger football games.

We may have been wrong.

One of our faithful readers pointed out this crucial fact to us;

Santa Claus was in the parade.

Santa Claus is a carpetbagger.

We all know how our Mayor for Life drew a "line in the sand" when it came to carpetbaggers involving themselves in the civic affairs of the city of Massillon.

"He (Cicchinelli) said he would call out such "carpetbaggers..." There's going to be a line drawn in the sand, he said" (The Independent, July 31, 2010).

Our crack Massillon Review research team has determined that the North Pole is outside the corporate limits of the City of Massillon.

Santa Claus needs to go back where he came from.

With that red coat on, he looks like a McKinley fan anyway.

Tomorrow

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and the Massillon Review will be sharing our thanks and appreciation with our readers to those public servants who have made positive contributions to the civic life of the City of Massillon.
