Vocabulary Lesson

Frostbrand likes to rub Lillie News' head for joining in. This week they added to their 'help your child learn' series by showing us in the Letters to the Editor what happens when you leave the thesaurus lying around:

Good reason for Copeland’s police calls
What a drama being played out in the Maplewood City Council. The current chief protaganist seeking center stage is Council Member Will Rossbach whose histrionics theatrically suggest interim City Manager Greg Copeland has “driven away” some city management staff and caused other city department heads to - Heaven forbid! - seek union representation.
Mr. Rossbach must believe the Maplewood city administrators are thespians in a one-act play with no time for proper development of character or storyline. For he to insinuate that Mr. Copeland is a villian so foul only suggests that either the departing are totally without rehearsal, patience, or forethought, but more logically, preexisting conditions precipitated their exit from the scene.
Mr. Rossbach’s drama-queen antics (with an ambiguously forgettable bit-part appearance by Council Member Kathy Juenemann) included some ill-conceived personal attacks on Copeland which errantly deflect onto his seriously disabled wife, Betty.
The only one worth responding to would be the calls to police for service to the Copeland’s home address. Having myself abandoned that area (the Lower East Side) I can assure you those were the Copeland’s calls for help, because the neighborhood has become a virtual war zone. A well prepared actor would at least have known the difference. Mr. Rossbach, I’ll be glad when your little dog and pony show gets cancelled.
