Some readers may have seen on Bill Maher’s HBO program his humorous, “I can’t prove it’s true ...” segment. Two national examples might be the following: ‘I can’t prove that President Trump has a man crush on Mike Pence, but I just know it is true.’ Or, ‘I can’t prove that Nancy Pelosi sleeps in a coffin, but I just know it is true.’
So, how about some examples closer to home …
‘I can’t prove that at meetings of the Tiverton Taxpayers Association (TTA) members are fined for smiling, but I just know it is true.’ ‘I can’t prove that one candidate for Town Council actually needs that huge toilet, I just know it is true.’ ‘I can’t prove that the “Our Town, Your Voice” motto on TTA signs is deceitful, but I just know it is true.’ ‘I can’t prove that TTA Town Council slate would, if elected, take every position of their leader, but I just know it is true.’ ‘I can’t prove that said dear leader really needs a hug, but I just know it is true.’
Finally, ‘I can’t prove that being poked fun at enrages some TTA folks, but I just know it is true.’ Have some fun on Election Day. Get out and vote.
