Spike,

You should not be so hard on hand over your hand guns Hans. Trousil and company have reason to sit in their chairs concerned about nut jobs who go around with guns.

Some time ago, you reported a Burlington resident with numerous drunk driving convictions was threatening people in a bar directly across the street from West Burlington's City Hall. I believe this deviant claimed to have a gun in his boot. Why was this menace not in jail?

As in the above case, the law does not always protect. When seconds count, help is measured in minutes. Hans really should consider providing for his own personal protection.

Prompt attention to West Burlington's sewer problems would be a good start.

Spike,

If it wasn't such a sad tale for West Burlington Hans Trousil's latest stupid move is a golden moment.

Golden in that after Trousil thumbing his nose at the Iowa statutes over the airport board, the state ombudsman and showing total disregard for the citizen's sewer problems, the NRA might just take a swipe at his neanderthal, knuckle dragger approach to whatever he chooses.

"Ten top-tier Democratic Senate candidates jet to Canada over the weekend for a fundraising junket with trial attorneys." Read more.

Democrat Senate candidate Roxanne Conlin of Iowa was there. Too bad she came home.

Conlin needs the dough since her co-counsels in the Microsoft case are suing her for breach of contract.

If Conlin will screw co-counsel imagine how bad the taxpayers will get hosed.

"Attorneys representing 23 states involved in a class-action lawsuit against Microsoft Corp. have filed a lawsuit over attorney fees against the Iowa lawyer who spearheaded a $179.5 million settlement with the software company.

Roxanne Conlin, the Democratic candidate for Senate who will face Sen. Charles Grassley this fall, negotiated the 2007 settlement that included $75 million in attorney fees that she split with attorney Richard Hagstrom and the Zelle Hoffmann law firm of Minneapolis.

...The attorney fees awarded to (Conlin) at the conclusion of litigation were not shared ... in violation of the ... agreement," the lawsuit states.

The lawsuit said that Conlin has refused to comply with the agreement and that "on multiple occasions (the consortium) has requested that (Conlin) comply with the ... agreement and arbitrate the dispute regarding the fees."

"Iowa's 17 state-regulated casinos reported gross gambling revenue of $1.36 billion in the last fiscal year, down from $1.41 billion in the previous year, the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission said."

Like no money down real estate, gambling revenue has another way to go other than up. Catfish Craps was down not as much as most Iowa casinos. Down still ain't up.

Have any stories of unpaid vendors surfaced yet? Will the taxpayers end up paying more to keep Huck's Hole afloat?

"A billboard created by an Iowa tea party group comparing President Barack Obama to Adolf Hitler and Vladimir Lenin is being condemned by other tea party activists."

If anybody put up a billboard featuring Heland, who would you suggest?

Spike:

It’s pretty hard to feel sorry for the police in Oakland California because California elects the biggest dimwits that could possibly be elected. Mostly tax and spend democrats that have just ruined all that California stood for in the past. California has lost its once golden image to become one of the worst welfare states known to man built in the image of Obama who would like the entire country to follow in California’s footsteps.

California government is without a doubt the worst of all possible cases and now the fools that elected them will have to pay the price for years to come. Liberalism is the scourge of mankind and California will now feel its wrath as the state is driven back to the brink of the depression era while business flees to other states that have a pro business government rather than a welfare nanny state mindset.

The once great State of California is now a meager image of its past with business and the smarter citizens rushing towards the borders of better governed states. When a state has a covey the likes of Pelosi, Boxer and Feinstein swishing around on their brooms it stands for only one thing “Losers” and creation of a welfare state.

Iowa better watch out because we have a democrat government that believes in tax and spend just like California and don’t ever believe they can’t destroy our state just like California democrats did. Just think last year Iowa spent about 350 million on illegal wetback aliens that have taken jobs away from Iowans and don’t think it can’t happen to you. For every wetback that gets a job in Iowa an Iowa citizen becomes a ward of the taxpayer and we all pay.

In Nevada 17% of construction jobs have gone to illegal wetbacks but Dingy Harry Reid claims it’s not true although the numbers verify it to be true. Reid is just another dimwitted democrat trying to hide the truth from the voters so he can “maybe” be elected again and further ruin our country by pushing the Nobama regimes disastrous agenda.

REMEMBER TO OUST THEM ALL IN NOVEMBER

"Yesterday, the NAACP passed a resolution that condemned the tea party for being a racist organization and tolerating bigotry. Um..could someone please show me the racists? This is being done on purpose- it's all part of a bigger plan to divide us. If you're for financial reform, you're pro-reform- if you're against it- you're just with the Wall St. fat cats. If you're against healthcare reform, you just want babies to die in the streets. If you're for immigration reform, you're pro-diversity- if you're against it, you just hate people different than you. Cap-and-trade? For it, you love the earth, against it- you want to destroy the planet. See a pattern here?"
