On my way home from work lately, I've been noticing that the Goodwill parking lot generally has more cars than does the Kmart lot. Also noticed this morning that Aldis has more people in it (per square footage) as does the Pick and Save on sunset. (How long before another Aldis open up on the West side?) For some reason I don't think this bodes well for the school referendi coming up. I don't know why, I'm just sayin.
Darryl E's got the updates again. Good news about the stop light at Hwy 59 and Center rd. About time, though it will slow down 59 a bit.
I don't blame Joe Como for the pabulum in today's Freeman. After all, he was only doing what he was told. The editorial is just another piece of the Waukesha school boards game plan for the upcoming referendum. If you missed it, the start of this funding war was the teachers scaring the students with a "cut list", than tossing out the "R" word as a "possibility". Now comes the "this time it really is for the kids" shpeel (you've played your part well Mr. Como). Soon to appear, "teachers just can't survive with any less" boo hoo. This is why I have to stick by my last "dispatch". The school board has this one figured from start to finish. But keep in mind, battles never go as planned. What needs to happen is the focus needs to be moved from "the children", to the teachers union. If this happens, an uphill battle, we may win this one.
I don’t pay much attention to politics (or much else) outside of Waukesha. Heck, I barely pay attention to Waukesha politics. But I feel a need to chime in on this Richter – Thomas – Gallagher feud in New Berlin. Matt should expect trash to be brought up. Gallagher should grow up, and Richter should just admit to being a dirty politics kind of guy. The meanness of this election (school board) shows just how important the participants believe it to be. And I still say Thomas is the best man for the job.
Again my 4th grader has reason to laugh....yes dear, a-c-r-o-s-s. Geez.
I haven't been able to watch "Parliament" for some time now, I'd love to see the show of support by British legislators for their troops and compare it to our group of politicians. I'm sure stand up support is shown by all parties, whether they support Blair or not. Maybe our clowns will get a clue. And if Iran doesn't turn over the British troops soon, Blair will go get them, and his detractors will stand behind him and their troops 100% Would we be able to say the same?
The article in yesterday’s Freeman covering the large fight in the Libraries parking lot bothered me three ways.
When your daughter holds you close and says "dad, you used to be a hunk....what happened?" oy
Sorry. I tend to shoot first, explain myself later. A"worm hole dispatch" is a brief note (I only post the ones pertaining to the future) sent from myself to myself by means of a worm hole. Most worm holes are natural, there are a few manmade ones, but they tend to be sporadic and unpredictable. Everyone makes predictions, not everyone understands just where they "come from". These "predictions" are real, right, and are in fact history. My grandma says so.
Found this under my vans ignition coil...don’t ask. This is another manmade wormhole, so the timing’s a little “off”. Anyhoo-
Jessica M should just shut up, or say “my child is still a toddler, so I guess when the time come’s I would…..”. I mean every time she guffaws at the foolishness of parents who would keep their kids home instead of shooing them off in -20 wind chills, or pooh-pooh parents that would shoot b-b’s into some slime trying to get it on with ones daughter instead of get him help, I just want to puke. Put down your Dr Spock book, turn off the Oprah, and just wait until you kid actually starts going through some of these things before you look down your nose at parents like me. For the record, I ever catch someone feeling up my kid they’ll be getting help all right, medical help.
So tell me, during next years school referendum, will we find out if our kids matter more to you than your pension, or your healthcare non-payins? Do you think the "taxpayers alliance against everything" is against band for our kids, or against the bloated administrative budget? Hum....
One of your daughters rubs her fingers over your head, and sighs heavily –“ Owwww, I’m going to miss your hairrrrr.” - Harrumph!
One of three things can happen when you get a “flash in the pan”.
- One, it flashes, it goes away, and you forget about it.
-Two, it flashes, a fire starts in the pan, you smother it with the lid, you talk about it for a little while, than you forget about it.
- Three, it flashes, a fire starts, the fire gets out of control, and all hell breaks loose.
Let’s hope for Wisconsin’s sake that option three is what happens for Bill Kramer and his “flash” in Doyle’s pan. My advice to Kramer, ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK! Attack the Dems, they are weaker than they appear, and attack the “good ol boy” Republicans as they try to smother your fire. DO NOT ALLOW THE FIRE TO GO OUT! You can either bask in the glory for the next 2 days, or you can take advantage of the opening to actually start a fire in the Republican Party. Don't wait for "permision". The Republicans don't know how to win, they think you have to "play nice" to get anywhere. (FOOLS). Right now, I see a real opportunity for active leadership change in Madison. And that type of change doesn’t happen by “playing nice”. Kramer can either allow himself to be forgotten in a few days, or use this “flash” in Doyle's pan to make a change not only in Madison, but in the Republican Party itself.
Some interesting comments from last nights meeting. (we lost 9 to 24 by the way). Can you guess ‘who said that”? Paraphrased cause I didn't write it down last night (sorry)
1 - if you want efficiency, you turn into a dictatorship, look at Hitler, he was efficient..
2 - …sue Chris Lufter and the taxpayers league…(Spring City gives you that one)
3 - why would you want to change the status quo?
I know I missed a bunch.
And here's the double edged sword....now that they know their being broadcast, will they ever just shut up and vote? From here on out, how many votes will be decided long before the meeting (as if that's not going on already), and how much discussion will be replaced by grandstanding? Oh well, turn on the radio kids, the shows on.
