There are times when I feel like I’m writing for The Onion when I am reporting what happened at city council – you know, times like when I have to write about a councilor’s desire to throw marshmallow confections off the top of the RSA Tower on New Year’s Eve. Yeah, times like those times.

And yet another one of those times came at the March 4 meeting. There was an ordinance on the agenda for the council to “amend the Mobile City Code relating to noise generally.”

And now Fred Richardson has an idea for noise flags to get people to bring it down a notch.

With all of this controversy surrounding whose words Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton seem to be “borrowing,” I wanted to make sure our own councilors didn’t get ripped off. Can you add any council-isms to the list? Or any local politico-isms, for that matter?
