As a Volkswagen full of clowns rambles down the highway, cries of “efficiency, efficiency!” can be heard from its half open windows. Than “In the name of efficiency we will cut back”. ; Now chants of “cut back, cut back” can be heard as the Volkswagen speeds merrily on down. Well, this goes on mile after mile after mile. Finally the Volkswagen pulls over, the window flies opens, and out goes the driver. “Hooray and Hazza, we are now efficient!” clamor all inside as the driverless Volkswagen sits idling on the side of the highway…..be careful what you wish for Harenda if Dwyer and his rhino clowns are left to decide the definition of “efficient”.

Normally I tend to mock rather than agree with tree huggers. (Just ask my sweethearts) But I think Britain’s got the right idea on this one. Yea, I know, Gore is a freak, but sometimes it takes a freak to get our attention. And a “wait and see” attitude will only cost us more in the end. (Just ask the three previous mayors about our radium issue.) Just how are those secret meetings going Mr. Mayor?

As I got up out of bed one morning, my son, who had just managed to slip in (surprise surprise) asks his mom “does dad have to go to work in the dark?” Lady says “yes he does.” Boy-oh says “holy cow, he must be poor!” …I still chuckle.

Okay, the last I heard Schmuki had a rather large “war chest”, I’m just wondering when he’s going to start using it. If Schmuki’s going to pull this thing off (as I have Kramer in the lead in this race for the 97th.) he’s going to have to start dropping some heavy bombs, and start dropping them right about now. I just don’t think he’s got enough ammo to overcome the “universal health care” thang. Dang, he just had to say it didn’t he? (Ellen, why didn’t you warn him?) By the way, I think that’s the main reason Kramer wins.

As we near the worm holes’ gates' scheduled passage, (covered up by “the man” as “daylight saving time”) a dispatch from the future somehow made it through. Don’t ask me how, just enjoy the ride. The Nov. election results were as follows. Doyle won, by a small margin. Van Hollen won, by a large margin. Kramer won, by a large margin. (We still don’t know where he is, we think he’s somewhere in Vegas.) The marriage amendment was passed, by a large margin. The death penalty failed, by a large margin. Sorry, no stock tips. (Dang!)

Step-off Kennedy, I’m not your pet Chihuahua to drag out when ever you need an easy vote. Don’t get me wrong, Sensenbrenner and most Republican’s have handled this “illegal” issue like a bunch of morons but at least they don’t treat me like I’m a helpless idiot. They don’t need to, my wife takes care of that just fine thank you very much.

Would you like to stop all the discontent in the Hispanic community? Talk directly to us. Believe it or not, we agree with keeping the borders secure. (“illegal” isn’t that hard to understand.) Also, stop treating us like we have to present three forms of I.D, our birth certificate and a “green card” just to get an audience. And when the heck is Anselmo going chime in on this?

Oops, I mean United Nations day. It still amazes me that no matter how bad a system is failing, as long as the concept is idealistically supreme, liberals will follow it to the grave.

My wife and I ran into on old friend at the South Band concert (well done kiddos) last night. Turns out she teaches art in the Pewaukee public school system. Unfortunately she was laid off from teaching art at central. Why, why, why? Why can’t the board figure out a way to cut admin or healthcare costs instead of cutting teachers? Why do the “children suffer”? Because administrators and WEAC consider pensions more important than education. A common sense budget would get this taxpayers approval. I’m not against more spending, I’m against foolish spending.

Well, I’m still waiting for Green to work me into a “get out the vote” frenzy. “Anyone but Doyle” just isn’t cutting it. Yes mom, I will vote republican. I just I wish I’d be voting that way because I wanted to and not because I have to.

Here's the view from the cheap seats. You know, the seats for Fiscal conservatives that have no "fiscal". Didn't miss much, just some board members acting like valley girls at the mall. (Behrend's excluded from that discription) The only real substance came from Walker. Figures huh?

I've posted both Kramers' and Schmukis' sites on my "reads" list. Why? Yes, I'm republican. But I'm beholden to no one. Besides, the man (or woman) that fears knowledge fears life. If Kramer does lose, I blame the party for fronting a weak candidate.

When I was a teen, we were encouraged to “express ourselves”. Either in writing, drawing, whatever. Creative thinking was something to be embraced. These days it seems that creative thinking is to be embraced only if it fits “PC” standards. Seems like kids are being raised by the system to be fearful of their own thoughts if it doesn’t fit the mandated norm. “Myspace” seems to allow their creative juices to flow. Yes mom, I know I know. There is such a thing as right and wrong, inappropriate thoughts, consequences for one’s actions, and parental guidance. (On that thought, are we watching what our kids post/watch?) But hear this, those are OUR lessens to teach as parents, Not the governments.

Something for parents of budding artists, the Waukesha teen center has time set aside for artist (drawing/painting type) to “do their thang”. (If only the center would “fix” their answering machine recording) Wouldn’t it be cool if someone could set up a “math game” session, or spelling bee with candy (or whatever) as prizes? The Libraries got plenty of unused space.

I have a few kids in the “gifted and talented program (math, spelling, art) in the Waukesha public schools (did “public schools” give my view away already?) and so far I’m not impressed. It seems that for the most part what “extra direction” they do receive is “lame” (to quote one of the "chillins"). Instead of allowing their creative juices to flow, what they seem to be getting from the program is something out of the “teaching gifted kids for idiots” handbook. I’m not so sure that what these creative kids need is step by step instruction, as much as just time to just let themselves enjoy their talents.

A clue to both. Using your opponents record, public statements, and open history does not a "dirty campaign" make. No matter how much they whine about it.

And you wonder why the Hispanic community no longer trusts most of the republican leadership? All this "build a wall" campaign rhetoric does as far as most of the Hispanic community is concerned, is bring up bitter memories. Either of racists comments heard as a youth, or of mass deportations of our grandparents. Granted, the Hispanic conservative vote is a pretty small block, but it is that much more for the liberals to reap.

Harenda is still working on the efficient government thing. Bringing up the issue at various meetings, with tepid response. The problem, as I see it, is the boards general fear of Dwyer. For the most part, everyone publicly agrees with Mr. Harenda, but there seems to be a “is Dwyer looking?” attitude from most. Well, Keith’s ground offensive is on, Dwyers’ weaknesses are being exposed, and eventually this thing will pass in some form or another. Who’s going to stand in the way of “efficiency” and risk their reelection? Will the “rhinos” hide their horns and help out on this?

When did the city administrator take over? This all came up during Opals reign. To many it sure sounded like a good idea. But while many were excited about being able to have the mayor go to a part time position, few were talking about taxation without representation. (Except for us "extremists ") Okay, I now understand (thanks to my wife) that the council has final approval, but they can only work with whats presented.

Crass, sweet, rude, very nice, arrogant, polite, lost at times, prepared. These are various descriptions attributed to the candidates at the latest debate by the one I love. Can you guess which description applies to which candidate? No matter, these days elections aren’t won on issues, personalities, or even passion. The victory will go to the one who can draw the undecided voter. That’s done with money, and an “anything goes” attitude. Like I always say, do you want to play nice, or do you want to win?

Who's responsible? Who's to blame? Who's fault is this? Who's dumb idea was this? Who should we be calling "STUPID"?!?!?!?!?!
I'm told that there's more to come, that the intent of this insult should become clear soon. My question is is this how to win votes now? By openly insulting those that disagree with us? Granted theirs plenty of that in private conversations, but those are private for a reason. Is it okay now to insult openly? Well.....although it sure seems like it lately, I'll still call it wrong. My mom tought me that.

Doyle will win in November. The main reason? Green is not a leader. Here’s my explanation. I’m not much of a sports fan. I guess you could call me “undecided” as far as sports are concerned. When Holmgren left, I stopped watching the Packers. When Karl went away, I lost interest in the Bucks. When Garner disappeared, well, I never really watched the Brewers until one of my sons started playing little league. My point is, when a team is able to get a hard charging, spit flying, willing to stand alone if they have to type of leader, my interest is piqued. I get on the bandwagon. The problem with this race is that there isn’t’ that type of “leader” on this republican ticket. I wonder if the “undecided” voter (who will forevermore be the deciders in most elections) have a republican candidate they can get excited about? Do they, in this election, have a reason to get on the republicans bandwagon?

Kramer will win, but there’s no reason he should. I’m just not convinced that his being a Republican is good enough. Why haven’t we seen any flyers? Why no mailers? Why no radio ads? The easy excuse is that it’s too early in the race, the ugly truth is that there’s no money in the pot. Is Kramer’s camp “working on it”, or are they waiting for the party to come save the “Anointed”….again? Can the party afford to keep saving this guy? And when Kramer does go to Mad Town, who’ll be saving him from himself? Well, too late to start thinking about that now, someone signed that check, and it’ll soon be time to start paying up. Sadly I believe we’ll all find out sooner or later why I keep calling him “slick willy”.
As I post this, my wife is showing me Kramers latest mailing. I guess the republican "conduit" came through again....congratulations "slick"

I wanted to get this out before Sykes/Belling tell us what to think. As I read Buchers comments my initial response was "What the heck was that?" Why was Bucher defending the police when this moronic aldermen Gallagher was talking about minorities? After my wife calmed me down, I understood that he was addressing the police dept because that's who he represents. It's not his job to defend us minorities, it's ours....so where's Ensalmo? Where's the black response? I'm sure it's out there, I just haven't seen it. I've been busy this past week so I'm sure I'm missing alot. The fact that the aldermen from New Berlin is an idiot goes without saying (I enjoyed saying it anyway). I'm just saying that I haven't seen much from our supposed defenders, maybe they agree with what was said. Or maybe Ensalmo is "our leader" only when it comes to grant writing.

Thanks for the topic James, since my inspiration has crossed the border (no snipers yet) I've been preoccupied as of late. Let the vagrancy commence! (Sooner or later I'll figure out how to link.)
So who's going to be the candidate for a more efficient government? I realize that the county board is not in Schmuki's line of fire, but it would be funny if he got first dibs in Kramers yard. I can't help but laugh at the possibilities. I'm a naughty republican! DO OR DIE SEMPER FI Harenda!
