Just when you thought you had seen it all, the political comedy troupe known as the Pullman Alliance for Responsible Development is at it again.
As you recall from last week, Cynthia "Impartial Private Citizen" Hosick was "foursquare" against the old Cordova theater being turned into a church. PARD had even set up a page on their website named "save_the_cordova".
Now, faster than you can say "Margaritaville," PARD has flip-flopped and the page on their web site has been renamed to just "the_cordova". PARD is now "blessing" the Pullman Foursquare Church. Guess opposing Wal-Mart is one thing, fighting against God is something else.
Be sure to read PARD's letter to Pastor Smith. PARD told the pastor: "Our concern is not to your church per se, but to the change in the function of the Cordova from a theater." So, PARDners, why do you continue to glom onto Duane "We Want to Applaud" Brelsford when anyone could have told you that the opening of his Pullman Village Centre Cinemas would result in the closing of one or both of the single screen theaters downtown? The flip-flopping and the hypocrisy are just stunning.
Hilarious! I especially love how PARD now believes they are the arbiters of what is okay and not okay in Pullman.

PARD has just now realized what town they live in. Most of the voting public doesn't live in an ivory tower. Most of Pullman is the grubby working class. They are now trying to back pedal so they don't tick off a very large Christian group.
This reminds me of an Aesops fable of the farmer and the snake.
One winter a Farmer found a Snake stiff and frozen with cold. He had compassion on it, and taking it up, placed it in his bosom. The Snake was quickly revived by the warmth, and resuming its natural instincts, bit its benefactor, inflicting on him a mortal wound. "Oh," cried the Farmer with his last breath, "I am rightly served for pitying a scoundrel."
The greatest kindness will not bind the ungrateful.
And thus is PARD. They will be nice, they will agree with everyone, until they gain power.
"Our concern is not to your church per se...." Well, if it isn't to the church just what exactly is it. I guess they didn't want to take on the other churches that reside downtown. It has been a little warm on the Palouse lately...I'm guessing they don't like it so warm. Excellent story April!
