Spike,

I hear Wellness Day is almost upon us.

GW

While Obama is in Copenhagen trying to lure the Olympics into the clutches of Little Richard's criminal grasp, our troops in Afghanistan slug it short on manpower; ignoring and seemingly indifferent to his post inauguration pledge to fully support the Afghanistan war.

We realize Obama is on a very busy schedule and heads into talks with Iran's nut job dictator right after the Copenhagen trip.

I just don't want to see Obama kissing or bowing to that other little prick like he has for Little Richard.

"So our top commander in Afghanistan, Gen. Stanley McChrystal, has told CBS's "60 Minutes" that he has spoken with President Barack Obama only once since June.

This is a troubling revelation. Right now, our commander in chief is preparing to make one of the most important decisions of his presidency—whether to commit additional troops to win the war in Afghanistan. Being detached or incurious about what our commanders are experiencing makes it hard to craft a winning strategy.

....Refusing to provide all the troops and strategic support that his commanders are requesting will be to concede defeat. We'll soon know whether Mr. Obama has the judgment and the courage to win this war."

Spike:

MN has a good question about the whereabouts of Mike Sweet when Sweet’s favorite organizations and people are under attack. He’s probably hiding under a rock mumbling something about GW Bush.

Mike could be in Chicago trying to help out the ACORN organization open up brothels or giving advice on other ways to mislead the public or cheat on taxes, something The Hawk Eye, Southeast Iowa’s largest “leave it out” one party fish wrap would never print.

Never fear because Mike will rise again and his pen will spew forth mountains of left wing propaganda as did his mentor Paul Joseph Goebbels; so many years ago in Germany.

Wondering

We heard that he is driving the Tyson bus part-time.

All The President’s Olympic Cronies

"Daley’s approval ratings are at a record low as he scrambles to lease everything from parking meters to airports to raise cash. Residents are still reeling over the murder of teenager Derrion Albert. But FLOTUS Michelle Obama, on her merry way to Copenhagen, is singing a happy tune: “I mean, you know, most of these Games are taking place blocks away from my house. There’s good security by my house these days. And while Chicago is not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, it is — people don’t live in fear. The downtown area is completely accessible…I know Mayor Daley, and he’s going to make sure that these Games go off without a hitch because that’s the kind of mayor he is. It’s not called the ‘City That Works’ for nothing.”

It “works” for the few at the expense of the many. That is the Chicago way."

Spike,

Burlington is known for the school dropout rate as number one in the state of Iowa. Now thanks to Dennis Hinkle and Brian Trapp we will probably be recognized for our bank robberies and intercity crime rate.

It's just too bad that we can't move these new workers from Chicago into Hinkle and Trapp's neighborhood.

Digusted

Prosperity brings tougher thugs and more tragic desperation to easy pickings.

I think the entire loser, brain dead officials in Burlington should watch that video of those kids smashing the life out of that Chicago high school student with two by fours. Then maybe they’d have some sense of what their doing to Burlington by filling up the dilapidated houses here with people born and raised on the south side of Chicago that don't have anything to do but crime.

Burlington was doing just fine with the native criminals and importing more from Chicago isn’t exactly the best move for population growth to replace those that were taxpayers and left when the industrial base left.

Burlington has invited the wrong crowd to town and the long term effects of it are to come and it doesn’t look good from a crime or economic stand point. Of course the slum lords will make a haul but the good citizens will be strangled by the crime wave yet to come although we’ve already had a taste of it and don’t forget the huge drug problems that were already here.

The slum lords could probably rent out all the upper floors in downtown Burlington without even fixing them up because they’ll look as they do now when these people move on.

Burlington has created a massive problem and now they better be prepared for the results of their greed, egos and stupidity.

Disgusted

Woody Allen has signed a petition to release Roman Polanski from a Swiss jail. I'm sure when Woody brings his neuroses and first hand experience in incestuous relationships to full pressure Polanski will stay right where he belongs - in jail.

Spike,

"Publisher Steve Delaney assigned one of his minions to stalk BurlingtonDerailed.com years ago."

Did this involve an intern actually moving from their computer and utilizing shoe leather? Is this investigation still ongoing?

It's too bad investigative journalism at the Ad Vertiser is more concerned with investigation of one who does what our local "professionals" no longer do.

PW

Stifle and suppress the story. Sensationalize and photograph tragedy. But above all else, sell ads. Nothing else matters at a shopper dependent upon ad sales.
