My money is going where temptation has better oversight.

Spike,

How serious do you think the local political money laundering complaints are? Could it mean doing time?

I wonder if these people maybe able to help?

Spike,

Hurd is tied to the tracks and the Zephyr is whistling. He is done. Gopal may get run over too. The others are on the run.

Sheffler will probably survive. Hucksterbee, Pat Robertson, Newt Gingrich, may come to his rescue. Scheffler has been a nice point man. The problem is his ego. He should have stayed only a State Central Committee member.

This has nothing to do with saving babies. If the babies were saved, it would be bad for business. Just like if Jesus returned, what happens to their cut?

This has everything to do with money. That should be obvious from the laundry done at Hurd's econowash.

Spike,

Here's what Glenn Beck had to say about picking fights. Seems like BurlingtonDerailed might fit the same mold. Maybe our local leaders should embrace you.

"The administration seemingly is wasting a lot of time, and energy, attacking Fox News…Why would they do that? It doesn’t make any sense. I mean if you think of it strategically, you don’t pick a fight with Fox News, you don’t pick a fight with anybody in the news business! That’s a losing battle every single time. There’s an old saying, ‘you don’t get into a war with people who buy ink by the barrel’….Fox doesn’t even buy ink! It’s unlimited air time. Why would you do that?"


Embrace us? All I can see is a big, old, jagged, blood-stained, rusty, butcher knife being hoisted to plunge deep into Spike's back by Publisher Steve Delaney at the direction of any number of Burlington's incompetent, over bearing, self-important dipshits (Maybe even a Republican or two along with the usual Democrat suspects) that have a strangle hold on our life.

Here’s a good one that fits the Burlington voter to a tee although you should edit the second to last word in the paragraph.

Here is something from George Carlin that fits the Burlington voter to a tee.

"Now, there's one thing you might have noticed I don't complain about: politicians. Everybody complains about politicians. Everybody says they suck. Well, where do people think these politicians come from? They don't fall out of the sky. They don't pass through a membrane from another reality.

They come from American parents and American families, American homes, American schools, American churches, American businesses and American universities, and they are elected by American citizens. This is the best we can do folks. This is what we have to offer. It's what our system produces: Garbage in, garbage out.

If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, you're going to get selfish, ignorant leaders. Term limits ain't going to do any good; you're just going to end up with a brand new bunch of selfish, ignorant Americans. So, maybe, maybe, maybe, it's not the politicians who suck. Maybe something else sucks around here... like, the public. Yeah, the public sucks. There's a nice campaign slogan for somebody: 'The Public Sucks. (Screw) Hope.'"

GH

I think some of them "pass through a membrane from another reality." For some, a bigger membrane than others.

As for 'The Public Sucks,' we've already been labeled dumb so it really doesn't matter if we suck. That's a given.

I see the Advertiser ran a full blown bit about lesbian marriage and if that’s the best they can do for news it’s no wonder their hurting for business.

With everything of importance going on in our country the Advertiser crams same sex marriage down our throats. If that’s the only news around we must be living in a fantasy land and I don’t think that’s the type of material our children should be seeing on the front page of the paper.

I also notice Mike crawled out from under his rock and bashed Bush again although he’s been out of the White House for about eleven months. I wish Mike would stick with the general interest stuff and drop his band wagon Bush busting lyrics.

The Advertiser is still pestering people at home via phone trying to solicit customers. The last one I got sounded as though it was coming from India or some foreign country. They just never give up in their efforts to gain more readers of their one party censored news.
