Republican Logic
Posted by: | CommentsOn Friday the Republican controlled House of Representatives voted and rejected a resolution that would have given Obama the authority to deploy US troops in Libya. This comes after the Speaker of the House cried illegality over the operations in Libya and that the President had acted contrary to the Constitution.
In a vote taken immediately after the authorization vote, the House of Representatives voted to reject another resolution that would defund the Libyan operation.
So your against the military action, but vote to keep funding it. This is the same logic the Boehner led House used when Republicans postured against Obamacare, but still continues to fund it in the budget.
And you really think this clan is going to hold fast their opposition to raising the debt ceiling.
St. Croix County Transvestite
Posted by: | CommentsOne thing I can’t quite figure is how you can support a position of smaller government, but you don’t want to cut the number of non-worker, worker government employees. The Walker budget is based on the notion of cutting the budget without giving a number of non-worker, workers the heave-ho. If you cut government without axing employees then it would mean the non-worker, workers would do even less non-working, work.
The St. Croix County Board under the leadership of self-proclaimed conservative Daryl Standefur continues to hire government non-worker, workers despite a soft hiring freeze, which means it does not exist. The latest non-hiring freeze of non-worker, workers happened this week when the Board approved the hiring of a County Administrator. I didn’t even know we were missing one!
It appears we have not had a non-worker, worker County Administrator or manager for the last six or seven months. It is hard to tell you are missing something when you don’t miss it in the first place. It’s like missing the warm touch of a hot girl that you no chance of getting within 5 yards of anyway.
Now I wonder what this new administrator is going to do for me that I didn’t miss in the first place and why the taxpayers need to pay for his salary. Word has it that he is responsible for creating budgets and seeing that the other government non-worker, worker department heads stay within financial limits. That sounds like a pimp trying to make sure the whores look respectable.
The only people going to benefit from the hire of the non-missed, non-worker, worker County Administrator is Daryl Standefur and the nursing home residents that sit on the County Board. Is it not the responsibility of an elected Board to devise a budget and to make sure the non-worker, workers stay within its limits? Read More→
A Double Scoop and A Driver License
Posted by: | Comments
One of my first jobs as a teenager was scooping sweet treats at a family owned ice cream shop. On warm summer nights customers packed the establishment every night of the week. As people entered the shop they pulled a number and waited for their turn to order. The employees behind the counter, including me, were able to make a variety of ice cream concoctions that included cones, milkshakes, malts, and sundaes.
The thought of the little ice cream shop crossed my mind when I took my daughter to renew her driver’s license at the DMV. Upon entering the building, an electronic sign informed the individual that the wait time was ten minutes. A line formed behind a sign about twenty feet from the counter where three government non-worker, workers waited at their assigned windows.
After a few minutes of observation, the non-worker, worker at window number 1 called the first person in line to her window in order to ascertain the request and to receive a number. The individual then returns to the waiting area where eventually their number was called and they were directed to one of the two other windows.
Only government could design a system that forces people to wait ten minutes in line so a non-worker, worker can hand out a number to wait in line again. Not only do we see a professional number hand outer, but the non-worker, workers at the other two windows serve a single function. The ability to multi-task is apparently not a requirement for government non-work, work.
If the state wants to pare its budget, then it can start by turning over the responsibilities of the DMV to an ice cream shop. I would like a chocolate mint shake and a renewal of my driver license, please.
Dear Madison

I saw something that Indiana pass that would have solved all the troubles going on in our Madison statehouse.
Let’s implement it.
Senate Republicans on Wednesday let Democrats know the true price of the walkout that shut down the House for five weeks this session: a proposed “anti-bolting” law that would bar minority party lawmakers from leaving in order to keep the majority party from doing business.
The provision sparked an hour of emotional debate — and a boycott by the 13 Democratic senators as their Republican colleagues voted 36-0 to add it to the budget.

You know those little things that say OCT or NOV and a 09, 10 on your back license plate? They are indicators that tell if your license plate has expired. Gov. Scott Walker’s budget calls for the elimination of the stickers. It will save the state $800,000 over 2 years.
Why Not?
Lord knows the electronic communications and computers found in most police vehicles can pull up the plate quickly. Additionally, the sticker is not even on the front. This is simply a case of probable cause. Police should not be out searching to see if stickers are current. They should be doing other duties required.

Hudson School Board Adopts 4 Corners Offense
Posted by: | Comments
In a cowardly fashion the Hudson School Board has gone into a stall tactic with regards to the contract extension proposal from the teachers. In an attempt to ride the fence and not have to make a tough decision, Barb Van Looney and company have decided to let the clock run out instead of just saying no. The 4 Corners Offense was made famous by Dean Smith of North Carolina and so irritated the other teams in the ACC that they instituted a shot clock which is still in effect. The board is just hoping that the Budget Repair Bill becomes law before they actually have to take a vote. This is a feeble attempt to save face with their cronies in the union and administration. What a bunch of worthless trash….
Sergeant Dale Schultz reporting for duty
Posted by: | CommentsSergeant Dale Schultz helped to dig the escape route for the 14 missing state senators by being a flip flopping Richland Center RINO, giving them their only chance they had to work a “compromise” which will negate any and all of necessary changes made by the budget repair bill. But watch what happens to Sergeant Dale Schultz as he reports for duty…..
Sergeant Dale Schultz Mum on Intentions
Posted by: | Comments
Sergeant Dale Schultz (RINO loser from Richland Center) is holding his cards close to his vest. He’s not letting us know how he will vote on the Budget Repair Bill. We all know Sergeant Dale Schultz as the moderate who is married to a school superintendent. He has NO conviction and NO courage. He is a lifelong government employee, just like his wife. He is one of THEM, not one of us. He reminds me of Sergeant Schultz from Hogans Heroes. Watch how this poker game plays out…..
