Obama

Well I did it for the first time ever I voted for a Democrat. Before you libs jump up and down let me explain...........

I was talking to a friend and he made a great point that turned me this way. There has been a Bush or Clinton in the White house in some capacity since 1980. That being said Wisconsin has not voted Republican since Reagan's second term. So in essence I voted against Hillary not for Obama. Yet................

Did you vote?

I have not but will as soon as I get back into town. Still not sure which way I'm going. I'll post that tonight.


Get out there! Make your voices heard.

Tax Rebate is Coming Tax Rebate is Coming

This is different than the last click here for an explanation. (See Chasin I wasn't wrong)

What will you do with the money? Pay bills? Buy a Flat Screen? Save for a Rainy day?

Me? I'm going to spend it on a big tax payer funded Beer party with midgets, a band and strippers for entertainment.

I love midgets.

Goodbye Lake Leota?

Yes, it would be nice to have the lake back but not at this price. How is SOLE going to spin this one? They have done nothing in regards to raising money for this project and are going to expect the taxpayers to pick up the tab.

I am sure there will be talk about all of the memories Lake Leota has brought to many Evansville citizens. The picnics, the first kiss, fishing, the fourth of July, blah, blah, blah. I have memories too. Mine however revert back to the time when I actually had some disposable income to enjoy the fruits of my labor.

There comes a point when you just have to say no and we have hit that point. The lake is not a need like the sewage plant, the new fire station and yes eventually the library. The only people truly affected by the lake are the land owners immediately surrounding it. No one moved to Evansville to hang out by Lake Leota.

Barring an enormous fund raising effort or grant(unlikely) bringing the cost to the city to under one million dollars I will vote no and encourage others to vote with me. I ask that the council set up the referendum(it will be non binding) during the November elections when the voters will be out in force for the '08 Presidential Election.

This is just getting interesting folks.

Capital Times to Stop Publishing

GOOD. Click here for the story from Channel3000.

One less member of the liberal media.

Any District 3 Readers?

Not a real fun local election this time around. Only one race Aikman vs Wyse. What's your take District 3? What's Karen running on? What would be different if she were there instead of Tony?

I myself liked the new faces on the council. New ideas, opinions and just a breath of fresh air. If it works out for Karen we'll have two "old" council members back in action.(Assuming Janice wins)

I'm not entirely sure how I feel about this. Where do these two sit on the current issues? Mainly Lake Leota. We also have the Library, Sewage Treatment Plant, new Fire House etc....

Karen, Janice if you are out there let us know. I'd be happy to post it.

Minimum Mark up Law in Trouble?

It's about time. This law is outdated and artificially raises gas prices in Wisconsin.

Can the Democrats Win the White House?

Slammer's Mom left me a comment and it got me thinking. Can the Dems really win?

Is our country ready for a women president? Is the south ready for a black president?

I think the bigger issue is it looks like McCain is going to get the GOP nomination and he is almost as liberal as those two.

Not sure even after all the "terrible" Bush years if the Dems can pull this off. Let us not forget the
congressional approval rating is even lower than the presidents. We could see some big changes there too.
