Spike,

"The woman is not dealing with a full deck of cards," said Scheffler. "The woman is a troublemaker. She attacks everybody and anybody."

Go after the woman who filed the complaint. Never mention corroboration by others, including one admitting to writing and mailing the checks to Hurd that supposedly is the brains behind Scheffler. When you make your own trouble, blame others.

Note the location of the link. If the Governor of Minnesota decides to run for President, he now knows people and organizations to beware of in Iowa. All this may be bad for Iowa "Christian" Alliance business.

SOL

What an idiot.

Spike,

If local Republicans spent less time on their prayer benches and doing the laundry, they might amount to something. Who in their eyes is good enough to recruit to run for anything? After this investigation is over, how long will it take before any candidate would even consider running as a Republican.

Heland doesn't need to sit around counting beads. Jeffy's jelly jar is safe.

MG

Someone might run if they didn't get head butted by Massner or had their wallets picked clean by Hurd, Scheffler and Lehmann. Until the cult is removed the closest you can get to a Republican is Dixon, IL.

"It has been written about and no one has the guts to stand up and stop this crap."

If somebody did stand up to this corruption in the name of the holy, would they get beat up?

Slapped silly with the closest King James Version.

Spike,

I think we all wanted change and accountability in the last election. We didn't know what kind of change we were in for; President Obama scares me.

The government has no business running our health care, anything they do run costs double. The post office raised the stamps and we still had to give them $4 billion to run.

I thought Gary Thomas and Tim Scott were not going to run for city council. Mr. Thomas probably got to thinking about his stepson; that he might encounter more trouble and he could do more for him being on the council.

Mr. Scott, now that summer over, picnic table sales are probably down so the $500.00 he gets for being on the city council looks good.

Mr Davidson is getting an education from Randy Winegard in business and beings there is no crime in Burlington maybe he should take a walk on Maple St. after dark.

The City council needs to be replaced, so everyone get out and vote in the November election.

As for the Manor sitting out there empty, Doug Worden says to stay the course. What other choice do they really have?

The people need to take this country back for our kids and grandkids sake. Not saddle them with more tax debt.

Go vote on November 3rd. Make your vote count for change.

Taxpayer

Spike,

Thought you would like to see what the citizens could do to help our drunk mayors get home. They still have to be careful. But hopefully they won't kill anyone.

Spike,

"Can vice save journalism?"

Vice has always been the spice of selling news. "Bonn's Hollow Wolf Boy Raised by Raccoons" on the front view of paper vending machines and a web site will draw people in. Besides selling such attention to advertisers, why not betting on the odds?

The big boys of the dying old media are already mumbling about becoming bookies. There is no way small market vendors can compete on national sports, etc. Most customers no longer turn to them for anything but who got caught on the local police blotter.

Combine vice with vice. Let people bet on local stupidity and resulting misery.

Some possible games of chance:

Which local politician will be the next caught driving drunk.
Which local politician will be the next to avoid a drunk driving rap by calling mommy for a ride.

When will Cascade Bridge collapse.
Great than zero, what number of injured, killed.

When will the Manor Mall be sold.
What dollar figure will be the loss to local taxpayers.

What number of empty store fronts will there be in downtown Burlington Dec. 31st next year.
How many bricks will hit pavement in the next downtown building facade failure.
Greater than zero, what number of injured, killed.

Next year, the number of dollars discovered laundered by local pious political activists, the dollar figure of our City debt, Burlington's estimate population decline, the possibilities abound and just keep growing.

On a daily basis, offer odds on criminal arrests and other numbers racket random figure odds. The mobsters made millions off this game during the height of the Great Depression. The small bets of the desperate add up.

Some bets no bookie would dare take. The number of Republicans Ad Vertiser endorsed in the next election.

Spike, you may as well make money off it.
