Two Heroes reminds me of "the former next president's" end of the world movie. I can't say that I agree with most of what Gore pushes, or with 99.99% of the "science" used. But I have to respect the willingness to stand up in the face of opposition and speak ones mind. Also I do think we need to be the kind of stewards of this blue planet we are called to be. (Dang - I sound like a tree hugger!)
A letter on next years history, found under the Christmas tree from Father time. (“Father time” and the “new years baby” are one and the same, the old man just jumps the hole and starts anew – lucky dog) I can't credit Santa with a "Wormhole dispatch" because he uses an artificial hole generated by Rudolph's red nose.
- Schimel becomes “Waukesha’s McCann” because of a pattern of plea bargains, early releases, and non-charges.
- Waukesha’s secret water deal falls through, water rates skyrocket, state steps in.
- Sancho is exposed by boot lick blogger
- Slick Willy doesn’t get married, so all the stress and strain by the republican money machine getting him elected is considered wasted. (think about it)
- Ultra conservatives (that’s what conservative Republicans are called) try to start own party, are squashed by Republican money machine and Democrats enjoy the show.
- U.S. military personal die in North Korea, nothing substantial is done about it.
- a reprint of a reprint - (A reminder to me of why I started this blog)
The recent events in Milwaukee cause me to look to Waukesha to see just what is being done to prevent such atrocities to humanity from occurring here, if such a thing is possible. I haven't seen much in the way of law enforcement towards gang prevention, my hope is that this is by design. That things are being done behind the scenes. But my heart sadly says no. Such programs require major funding, and I haven't seen many politicians on that front. I look toward Anselmo and La Casa De Esperanza for a glimmer of light. But all I see is a grant eating machine growing in size without much substance, a balloon of sorts. I look toward the Waukesha teen center, and I see one or two dedicated individuals breaking their backs, receiving help when its politically convenient for both church and politician. Everywhere I look I see dreams without flesh. I know this negative attitude is only because of my broken heart for the Milwaukee young, and my deepest fears for Waukesha's own. My tears have blurred my vision for their future, in frustration I strike out. The above mentioned are in the fight, while I stand aside. Their efforts deserve our thanks, yet also our scrutiny. It's our children they fight to protect, will we wait until the unthinkable happens in our city before we hold them accountable? The U.S. military is charged with our protection, and we demand their highest. And because we demand it, they proudly give it. The above mentioned are in the fight for our own, for our castaways, our lost, should we not demand their highest as well? Or shall we wait until the situation gets critical before we expect more? That's the political way, wait until the masses cry out, than act. Ultimately we as parents are responsible for our children. The marriage amendment is only a small part, and the above programs can only reach out to the ones on the cliffs edge. So far Waukesha isn't burdened by a parentless society. So far. It's the children on the "outside" I mourn for. The drug users, the truant, the fatherless (yes, even in Waukesha). It's them the "programs" are meant for. So lets act now before things go critical. To be sure, demanding the highest of the grant eaters isn't pretty or politically expedient. But it is necessary. I was there when La Casa was still on Ryan street, I've seen it's potential Anselmo. Waukesha needs a leader, not a politician.
Are there any real liberal Waukesha based blogs out there? I don't mean Mayor Urkels "up and coming", I mean any actual Waukesha based techno-hippies? I'd love to read em. A good battle takes two (or more).
I’ve happily been out of the loop for awhile, so I need a little help catching up, if you don’t mind…
-Has everyone finely gotten off of the snow plow diversion and found anything out about the Mayors water dealings with Milwaukee?
-Has Doyle, I mean Dwyer convinced Slick Willy to step aside so he can appoint a new crony?
-After the large grant given to La Casa, does Anselmo’s wife have a new car yet?
-Has the Teen Center changed their answering machines message yet?
-Have any real conservatives thrown their hat in for the school board race yet? (Every battle counts)
-Has anyone realized that I don’t have a clue yet, I mean besides Mayor Urkel?
To all Jarheads - a good nights sleep, to all Vagrants - a brilliant idea, and to all little people - at least one good present, one good cookie, and one wish come true. God bless you all.
Sorry, I can't come out to play, I've been grounded. (Now, if it was kick the can........)
My two babies "Christmas" program lacked any reference to either Kwanzaa, Hanuka, or Kofi Annan. Nothin but good old fashioned Christmas songs. Just what are my public school tax dollars going towards anyway? I don't know what I'll do, or who I'll sue. (It was beautiful.)
Wisconsin's about to lose a great blogger, and the only one I can think to blame is Doyle and his tax...I mean "fee" hell. So long Ol Broad, I'm looking forward to some Tenn. news. And thank you for the encouragement.
Apparently alot of snow related services that indirectly affect taxpayers has been "cut from the budget", like bulk snow removal generated from the city plows. "did I do that" can be heard in the city hall corridors. Thanks mayor Urkel.
It's been a week plus about 9 hours since the blizzard of 06, and my street is still a mess. The sad part is, my Alderman lives on the same street. (Snow storm must have knocked out his phone line.) Sooner or later he's going to have to figure out how to act like a city leader, push some buttons to get things done, and at least get his street plowed!
