Fiends - er - I mean "Friends of the Market" What is this group??

Apparently run entirely by local cretin Glenn Thompson, Fiends of the Market is a front group for opposing anything the now former Market Commission tried to highlight and correct. Glenn, the chief Fiend, showed up at nearly every Market Commission meeting, and railed against any action the Commission took which went against his own inflated ego. Thompson has apparently made a career out of showing up at various Ann Arbor City Commissions and Council meetings, practically harassing public officials, and mostly spewing vile rhetoric. Personally, I like to call him The Glenn Thompson Show. Whenever I have tried to engage him in intelligent conversation, he gets that "gone postal" look in his eyes, really creepy.

Thompson's latest actions threaten local organic farmers. He is insisting that in order to advertise as "organically grown", or "organic" at the Ann Arbor Farmers Market, one must be "certified" by the USDA. He wants this inserted into the rules governing the market. This bogus certification is a piece of paper which proves NOTHING. More on Organics and bogus USDA certifications in another post.

Glenn has a blog with the high-fallutin' title of "The Arbor Market", claiming its a site run by the so-called "Friends of the Market", but don't be fooled, its all Glenn's show. On the site, Glenn plays editor, and censors any post which questions his all-knowing authority. Fuzzbollah thinks, "What an asswipe."

Its idiots like Glenn Thompson that scare good people away from public service.
