THE INQUISITION CONTINUESRing, ring...
CMPD: "Hello, Costa Mesa Police Department."
MUFFLED MALE FALSETTO VOICE: "HELLO, er, Hello, my name is, By...ah, tee hee, tee hee, I mean, ah, wah, wah, wah, sniffle, sniffle, like, Sarah, and I'm, like, 16 years old and, like, I'm, like, being held captive in the basement of the Senior Center by Wendy Leece and a couple of old people and they're abusing me by asking me questions.
"Yes, it's, like, an INQUISITION...just like that nice young man--you know the one, that handsome guy who is very bright and who just makes the Daily Pilot what it is...yes, that's the one...the good looking one, the one who really, like, knows INQUISITIONS when he sees them.
"I, like, can't stand all these questions about, like, money and, like, why some board members don't, like, show up to meetings and, like, oh it's sooooooo horrible. The questions, the questions, I can't stand it.
"I, like, don't think non-profits that are using city property and spending citizen money should ever have to answer questions from elected officials. They should just be able to do whatever they want with no oversight.
"Just who does that Wendy Leece--that GRAND INQUISITOR--think she is? Doesn't she know we have a tradition in Costa Mesa of having City Councilmembers who don't ask questions and who don't do anything? She should be more like Katrina Foley and hardly ever show up for meetings, go on ski trips instead of going to City Council meetings, and collect canned food for people who live near the Great Park.
"Can you, like, send that tank I saw on TV that went to that place in, like, Texas and rescue me...no, on second thought, please send it to city hall, that's where you can usually find the GRAND INQUISITOR Wendy Leece when she's not asking questions.
"If you'll just, like, take her away and, like, maybe put her with, like, a foster family in, say, Ohio--and be sure to lock the door--I can make my escape and then the nice people at the Senior Center can go about their business using citizen owned property and receiving citizen money with no questions asked."

Those are our opinions. Thanks for asking them.
