"It is entirely conceivable Heland lacks the ability to write a book. Could Heland hire a like-minded ghost writer at the Ad Vertiser?"

The answer to Charles D's question must be no. Once upon a time, yes.

The Hawk-Eye's newsroom produced objective, informative, easy to read, competent works of journalism. Some in the newsroom even authored books of local interest. They knew well what they covered.

The Ad Vertiser's newsroom is filled with minds like Heland's. It shows.

Beyond the bias, an autistic style often lacking facts makes the back of a cereal box easier and more informative morning reading. When it comes to place, you have documented hilarious geographic gaffes. They do not know what they are covering, nor often times where it even happened.

If Heland needs anonymous assistance selling higher taxes with a book, have you any suggestions?

He has a stable of writers on South Main to choose from. They write nonsense everyday so to ghost write a Heland book only takes a few more days.

'Course it is harder to write a book since you can't repeat yourself for 2 or 3 weeks at a crack without adding any new material.

"Mark Rauschert of Friends of the Constitution, a Bushnell-based group seeking to oust Rep. Hare, said Wednesday that Canton officials have told the group its billboard there must be removed by Sept. 2. He shared an e-mail from Marla Diden, an agent of the city, stating the sign violated Canton's ordinance limiting signs to 30 days before an event; the election is Nov. 2."

Phil Hare is Gulfport's Congressman. Phil Hare "represents" Illinois 17th District. Illinois 17th Congressional District was shaped like a serpent by state legislators so fellow party animals like Phil Hare can hold it.

Just like Burlington's Congressman, Phil Hare voted for Obamacare and a host of other Socialist legislation. Just like Dave Loebsack, Phil Hare is there to serve Nancy Pelosi rather than the people who elected him.

Unlike our Herr Doktor Professor Loebsack, give Congressman Hare an A+ for honesty. Phil Hare makes no pretense when comes to ignoring Constitutional limits on government. The Bill of Rights is part of the Constitution.

Phil Hare's friends running the City of Canton, IL believe they can ignore the 1st Amendment. Free speech may be abridged in Canton if anybody dares to attack Phil Hare. If national defenders of the Constitution get wind of this, it could mean trouble for Canton taxpayers.

Canton's City leaders should look to the west before pushing this issue. Canton's big frogs could see well financed, competent legal talent drain their little pond.

The City of Burlington believed itself above the law vis-a-vis the BNSF. Burlington was over half a million poorer when its fight was over. It would have been worse had not a merciful judge decreed, "Without merit." Burlington taxpayers were the big losers.

Losers like Congressman Phil Hare and Congressman Dave Loebsack need to do just that. Go to the polls and make it so.

"Add Jesse Jackson’s ride to prominent vehicles being stripped in Detroit.

Following the embarrassing news that Mayor Dave Bing’s GMC Yukon was hijacked by criminals this week, Detroit’s Channel 7 reports that the Reverend’s Caddy Escalade SUV was stolen and stripped of its wheels while he was in town last weekend with the UAW’s militant President Bob King leading the “Jobs, Justice, and Peace” march promoting government-funded green jobs."

Once motor city to the world, Detroit has come to symbolize America's post industrial decline. This does not mean entrepreneurship in Michigan is dead.

Disassembling a gas guzzler to recycle its profitable parts is providing "green jobs." The regime's dream is coming true.

"Lee said at the time that he experienced an ‘‘awakening” when he watched former Vice President Al Gore’s environmental documentary ‘‘An Inconvenient Truth.”

Liberals writing books and film scripts can inspire people to action. Fiction as fact may cause some to inappropriately react.

Has Heland written a book yet? It is entirely conceivable Heland lacks the ability to write a book. Could Heland hire a like-minded ghost writer at the Ad Vertiser?

"An Inconsequential Tax," by Jeff Heland would be appropriate. Heland likes writing and passing tax increases. Heland claims 17% tax increases are saving the county and are of little pain to taxpayers.

Is Heland capable of inspiring masses of people to action?

While not suggesting, nor advocating, to do as the late Mr. Lee, there is an imminent shot at salvation by ballot box. Mass action could save our little portion of the planet by making County Supervisor Heland go the way of previous political parasites.

But Heland's book would be not be fiction.

Spike,

I am so fed up with Heland's long winded gaseous emanations. I listened to the KCPS Big Show on Tuesday and I still have no idea what Heland was trying to say to the voters. All he talked about was protecting the county employees from layoff and his an outline of his tax position.

I don't want to see any employees lose their job. But if Heland has no solution for the dilemma of his unfettered spending habits, the only solution is to fire Heland. We need to see if Broeker can do the job. If he can't do the job, fire him too.

Did anyone ask Heland where the $11 million budget surplus went?

"At a news conference organized by self-identified gang members Thursday morning, several speakers complained that police and city (Chicago) officials do not respect them, and that the only way to curb violence is to provide jobs and improve their community."

Do they not know that opportunity awaits only a few hours bus ride away? Could this be due to our local economic development leaders incompetence?

“People are moving out more than usual,” said Sherry Clark, a sales representative for the moving company Allstate Moving in Las Vegas."

Vegas is holding half a pair of aces. People are cashing out and leaving. Where do you run to?

Think back to the economic development hype Burlington has been fed over the years on gambling. Leave the kids in the tax supported pool and put it all on the table. We were all to get rich.

How many Vegas refugees have roosted here?

Lost amid the decline brought by Obama's socialist March of Despair was Satan Steve Scheffler's proclamation to his fleeced flock 'Haley Barbour is ‘toast’ in Iowa.'

Having pondered Satan's missive now for months I was somewhat surprised to find Haley Barbour has been the focus of a 5-part Hoover Institution interview regarding the Republican Party and the power Barbour wields. I heard no mention Satan was a player. How could such a powerful demon like Scheffler not be consulted before such interviews are conducted? How could the Hoover Institution ever conduct an interview that is such a blatant slap at Satan's authority without the fear of reprisal?

It would seem that Satan is going to have his toast buttered for him after the election. And I would guess that stem cell marketeer Kim Lehman will be joining Scheffler on the ride back to nowhere.

Maybe Barbour will help spread the jam for these two.

"WASHINGTON - It’s one of the most widely recorded moments in history. Search the internet and you’ll easily find black and white images from Sunday, September 2nd, 1945. That’s the day the Japanese surrendered at Tokyo Bay, formally ending World War II.
But one man on the USS Missouri that day captured something on film seen by few people until now."

Community Organizer = Mobilize Resentment, Divide, Polarize to Get What They Want

"Always a popular guest, Dr. Thomas Sowell returns to the show to discuss his latest book, Dismantling America. The book’s focus is wide ranging, as is the discussion. To take one example, Dr. Sowell questions whether most people understand what is meant by President Obama’s background as a “community organizer.” A community organizer isn’t a friendly local expert doling out advice on better living, but is rather someone who mobilizes resentment at the behest of third party interests to put the public into battle on their behalf.

Dr. Sowell’s basic accusation of those who he believes are destroying America is that they do not–and have never–believed in the fundamental principles of the United States. President Obama, he argues, has always sought out associates who share this skepticism. Nevertheless, Obama is not responsible for the development of this thinking, but is rather the culmination of a long standing trend. This trend has been happening rapidly under Democratic presidents and unfortunately persists ,albeit more slowly, under Republican presidents."

"Is the Department of Justice ditching the red, white and blue? They've just re-designed their website because it apparently looked 'too patriotic'. Plus, more attacks on Glenn from the left wing press- and the progressives and unions are so upset and determined not to let the 'tea party types led by Glenn Beck' win, that they have planned their own event in D.C. on October 2nd. Among the groups taking part: Code Pink, NAACP, La Raza, SEIU and Van Jones' groups 'Green For All' and 'Color For Change'. Guess Who is behind the event?"

"Wal-Mart, which boasted not too many years ago of its Made-in-the-USA product line, now sells 91 percent of its merchandise loaded from Chinese ports.....Because our wallets don't always consider the bigger picture, we'll shop at Walmart to make our paychecks stretch a little further."

If Perry White Allison is so snow white, does that mean the Ad-Vertiser will not accept advertising from Walmart? Were I running Walmart's advertising budget, I would make certain Mr. Allison never had the chance to say no by purchasing advertising anywhere but the Ad Vertiser.

"Loebsack agreed, saying that the "dysfunctional" Congress needs to get passed the debate of no government versus big government."

"To me, that's a stale debate, it's an old debate; to me, it's about being practical," Loebsack said. "

The Nutty Professor will not be swayed by debate. When it comes to representing those who elected him, or expanding big government, government growth first and foremost.

When was the last time the Nutty Professor held an open public meeting? Having staff screen questions for softballs did not work. Dave got an ear full last Summer and has run for cover ever since. Sorry, Dave, teleconference "Town Halls" with caller ID, a kill switch, and no press do not count.

Obamacare, Cap & Trade, etc. etc. whatever Bay Queen Pelosi demands, Dave votes as she instructs. 2nd District constituents may as well talk to a corn stalk.

"A note posted online July 18 issues a list of demands to the Discovery Channel, saying the station "MUST broadcast to the world their commitment to save the planet." It lists 11 demands about airing shows that would promote curbing the plant's population growth, finding solutions for global warming and dismantling "the dangerous US world economy."

A wacko with a gun demands the world pay attention to his manifesto. A cable television network is his medium by extortion. What station has he been tuned to?

If this man had been watching C-Span, he would know his gesture is unnecessary. The majority of the actors on C-Span are doing all they can dismantle the US economy.

Given a few more terms, the current majority on C-Span will return us to a population level and standard of living not seen in 200 years. If this rerun scares you, change the caste of characters on C-Span this November.

In this recently uncovered audio, Ms. Huerta is speaking to high school students and praising the virtues of Hugo Chavez' Venezuela."

Iowa Hawkeyes offensive lineman Josh Koeppel got hit head-on by a truck while riding a moped. The wreck occurred Monday morning, when a pickup truck slammed directly into the Hawkeye's motorcycle and knocked Koeppel into the air, head over heels and onto the ground.

Tom Miller has been Iowa's top prosecutor since the twilight days of disco fever. Another type of fever traced to contaminated food has come to the fore. Was Tom Miller doing his job?

One place Tom Miller has certainly looked the other way is Southeast Iowa. Illegal secret meetings, buddy deals with local government, etc., where has Tom Miller been? Tom's single party buddies have had nothing to fear from Atty. General Miller doing his job.

The one thing Tom Miller fears is being voted out. This is the year to make it happen.
