Spike:

Tim Scott is as immune from the law as was Eric Bell because they are operating under the home free laws that public officials and their offspring enjoy while the rest of us are subject to the written and enforced laws of Iowa.

Wasn’t it Tim that was selling private goods on public land? I assume this is another fringe benefit for the purpose of coddling our dimwitted public servants.

Every time I drive by the Manor it makes me sick thinking back on how they forced those people to leave their homes based on a strip mall that Burlington didn’t need. Destroying lives for the purpose of low paying retail non-benefit jobs we didn’t need in the first place. We should probably make a monument out of the Manor in memory of those that were thrown out of their homes in a hurry because the city wanted to circumvent a new law soon to be enacted by the State of Iowa concerning Eminent Domain, which would have prevented the entire fiasco.

Our so-called senator Courtney was right in their pushing for the city to acquire the Manor and more than likely kept the city informed on the best time to make their move towards destroying lives, just don’t think he wasn’t involved.

Now we have the public that George Carlin spoke about that appeared in yesterday’s Derailed. I guess George knew plenty that the rest of us didn’t.

Disgusted

Courtney was a key player along with Crooked Bruce Slagle, Iowa's Losingist Lawyer Scott Power and the drunk ex-mayor Mike Edwards.

It was all an effort to curb the failure of the railroad lawsuit and deflect the scrutiny of how they all played pocket pool with taxpayer money.

Spike,

"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." Paperless

You must give the Ad Vertiser credit for honesty. Their telephone subscription effort is an actual fore taste of what you get. Just read an Ad Vertiser.

Many Ad Vertiser produced local stories leave you scratching your head in wonder. What were they trying to say? The knowledge of local geography can be at times hilarious. Never let facts get the way of a sensational story.

Pick not on the South Asians. Odds are the person on the other end of the line could be a top flight graduate student. Their written English skills many of us should strive to match.

Rather than have well educated Southeast Asians calling to promote the Ad Vertiser, bring the cream of Southeast Asia's educated here. Replace Jimmy Olson with better talent. A good product is easier to sell.

The Ad Vertiser would be wise to start a crusade against the Southeast Iowa Regional Planning Commission. Once the new help discovers wages and working conditions are better in the meat packing industry, it will be hard to keep them from riding the bus north.
