Village Idiot of the Day, May 16, 2009: Jfenno,

Leave it to one of our resident wingnuts to link "radical extremist Islam" to stupid condo rules.

According to Condo board tells couple to remove flag honoring son in Army, the Central Commons Condominium Association in Perry Heights has ordered Marlene and Richard Gano to remove their Blue Star Flag from the window of their condo. The couple refuses. The Ganos claim they are breaking no rules since they are barred only from displaying anything on the outside of their condo. Inside doesn't count no matter how aggreived their neighbor Judy Clark, who filed the complaint, begs to differ.

Of course, anyone who has ever been subjected to the tinpot dictatorial powers of a home owners association knows there has to be more to it than this. And there is. Clark, we are informed rather rudely by "truck 655" is, in fact, the acting president of the condo association, a position that Richard Gano held before resigning for reasons unknown to us.

Thankfully, JFenno, knows what's really going on out in Perry and has been courageous enough to inform us:

JFenno:
According to the condo associations declaration filed with the Stark County Recorder, one rule says residents are not to hang or display anything outside of the units windows without the boards consent. The flag is on the inside of Ganos window.'

Case closed.

The display stays. It sounds like this condo association may be infected with radical islamic extremists' views or perhaps they just have no appreciation for the sacrifices our military and their families are being asked to make.

So, for warning us of the clear and present danger of Islamo-Fascism in the cloak of the Central Commons Condominium Association (above) we are proud to award the May 16, 2009 Village Idiot of the Day award to JFenno.

We also give IHC's coveted Gladys Kravitz Award for nosiness above and beyond the call of condo association duty to Judy Clark. May you continue to dictate well!
