Welcome to Woodbury, where...

politics is a blood sport

democracy is a somewhat hazy concept

honest, free and open debate is on back-order

the Democratic Party is run by the head of the Republican Party

the Town Supervisor thinks that a brief answer is used only to respond to the question "jockeys or boxers?"

the traffic from Woodbury Commons, Route 6, Route 32, Route 17, Larkin Drive, Nininger Road and the New York State Throughway meet to form Orange County's finest parking facility

a new grass roots organization with SOCA somewhere in the title is born every six months

more whoppers are sold during the public comment segment of the Town Meetings then at all the Burger Kings in North America

West Point seems to do most of their loud blowing up of things

rumors are our single greatest export

if there is no street bearing your family name you're a newcomer

and

where the vast majority of the people living in the hamlets of Central Valley and Highland Mills haven't the faintest idea what a hamlet is.

Or as I think of it: home!
