Dateline Carson – If they built a zoo in Carson – please – mean tail-chasers on the City Council logically will be the first inhabitants.

Clowns in the circus are not nearly as ludicrously funny as these embarrassments to other homo sapiens.

The tantrum-centric adult children who form the City Council set out two nights ago to prove why the good burghers of Carson, and the five nut cases at City Hall, were snubbed last month by the National Football League.

The nut cases, of assorted ethnicities, all are bright green with envy because the gentleman they hate most on the planet, City Clerk Jim Dear, makes more money than they do.

The Council kiddies have been keeping the lights burning late into the night in their own zoos. Angrily, desperately, they are trying to think up childish ways to punish Mr. Dear. Why? Because so far he has proven to be smarter and more popular with Carson voters than they are.

Never mind that the little mayor of this little town is under investigation for alleged ethical violations.

I digress.

The Council kids have done everything but put Mr. Dear over their knees and potsch him.

Even public school children learn that liberals are unembarrassable. So there is no telling how radically these nut cases will behave.

Here is the latest, and it is a Donald Trump-style beaut.

Eleven months ago, Mr. Dear, in the midst of his third popular term as mayor, sought the city clerk’s job, which pays five times higher than his$22,000 mayoralty salary.

Carson residents seem to like Mr. Dear. They have elected him to office four times. They also helped Mr. Dear beat back a recall attempt a few years ago, and the next recall, by the same crowd, comes up on Feb. 23.

Mr. Dear handily beat the incumbent city clerk last March, and that infuriated his bright green envious enemies on the once and future City Council.

The tail-chasers’ latest twist on Tuesday night may be turned into a television.

In tantrum mode, the Council kiddies voted to have the Carson city staff petition the County D.A. to pursue a criminal investigation of Mr. Dear.

Council kiddies, all known by their nicknames, God, contend that the eminent Mr. Dear tricked voters last year. He just wanted to fatten his pension and not to serve the community’s needs.

Hopefully, Mr. Dear will sue the children for harassment and for stalking him.
