Election Day Musings on Guy Fawkes Day

Let’s raise a glass to ol’ Guy Fawkes who realized that the only significant political change is violent change. Not random, pointless violence like that exhibited by the home-invading losers who broke into the Walnut Street apartment last night, but rather change on a monumental scale that devastates existing institutions. Something so large that not even G. Terry Madonna, our local pundit who exudes all the charisma of a rotting pumpkin, could trivialize.

At the Columbia Ghost Tour

On Saturday evening, over two dozen people attended a dinner and Ghost Tour conducted by Chris Vera, president of the Columbia Historic Preservation Society, and Rick Fisher, noted paranormal investigator and owner of the National Museum of Mysteries in Columbia.
After a dinner at Prudhomme’s on Fourth, courtesy of David and Sharon Prudhomme, Rick Fisher delivered a lecture and slideshow on unexplained phenomena and hauntings in Marietta and Columbia.  Afterwards, Chris Vera and Rick led attendees on a ghost tour of Columbia’s haunted sites and regaled the crowd with accounts of their own encounters with the supernatural, as well as significant events in Columbia’s history.
