Sheriff Clarke's Continued Confusion

I use the County Parks all of the time.  I have a dog.  She loves the park. 

The big brohaha in Milwaukee is that Sheriff Clarke is upset that park patrols are going to be taken over by the Milwaukee Police Department.

Huh? 

What is Sheriff Clarke doing with the park patrol money that he currently has budgeted?  It's not patrolling the parks.

In the park closest to my home, I have NEVER, I repeat, NEVER seen a Sheriff Patrol.  I generally go there once a day.  Summer, Fall, Spring and Winter.  I have, however, seen many Milwaukee Police Department members here because this park lies just to the west of a pretty bad area.  So the police are actually doing the Sheriff's Department jobs in this park, and I want to know what Clarke is doing with the money.  Probably buying guns he can't use (the average cop can only carry so much firepower, afterall) and sending people to Harvard.  Well, I guess we wouldn't want a Harvard-educated cop to waste all that brain power on park patrol.

My dog is a springer and she loves to swim, so I go to a big park that runs for miles along the lakefront.  I can guarantee you I have also never seen a Sheriff patrol in this park.  What I do see is a lot of broken booze bottles in the creek and on the beach.  Maybe underage drinkers aren't a priority for the Sheriff, but my safety certainly should be. 

The bottom line is Sheriff Clarke seems to get the money to do park patrols, but spends it elsewhere.  We all know about Sheriff Clarke's creative accounting......or in layman's terms, ability to cook the books. 

Clarke needs to go.  He's not thinking with a clear head.  Must be the weight of that white cowboy hat he always dons.  Someone should tell him he looks like the Sheriff in Blazing Saddles. 

Coupla Questions

For all of you people out there with Romney/Ryan stickers on your bumper, do you really not need social security?

If so, what's your secret? 

I had my appendix out in July.  My doctor bills are overwhelming right now because my insurance (and yes, I'm a 47%'er who had a government job) just didn't cover a great big portion of my health care costs.  Of course, health care for profit is the biggest scam perpetrated on American society and if you need proof, Americans are in the poorest health of all the third world countries.

Romney/Ryan supporters have never been sick, except mentally, and obviously have never sought treatment for their mental health issues.  Listen, folks, you'd have to be half nuts to elect two yokels who couldn't plan a halloween party much less steer a course for a stronger America.  What fools these mortals be.  Well, at least Romney/Ryan have their halloween costumes all picked out.  Bernie Madoff and Eddie Munster.  Yup.  Exactly who I want running my country.  NOT. 

I have just one fervent wish.  Obama wins reelection, takes of his kid gloves and comes out swinging.  It's time America had a president who could kick some serious a$$.  Or a$$es, like Romney/Ryan.










 

ELECTION DAY CAN'T COME SOON ENOUGH

I think I can speak for just about every citizen in the United States who has watched back to back political ads paid for by right wing radical millionaire groups that we have reached saturation with the negative ad campaign.

Please stop the assault on not only our sense of a just world, but on our intelligence.

Voting people, especially here in Wisconsin, have to remember that just a few short months ago, Scott Walker was the golden boy of the moment in promotional ads paid for by the same groups now supporting Mitt (JUST BELIEVE) Romney. 

Well, Scott Walker is in office.  Act 10 is in the courts.  Walker is now, effectively, reduced to nothing more than a mouthpiece (and not a very articulate one) to those people who were intent on destroying public employee unions.  It appears that Act 10 is going to be written off as a totally illegal waste of their time.

Now why would anyone think that the same organizations who brought you Scott Walker have picked a likely candidate for president in Mitt Romney?  Seriously, Americans are just like slow cave men.  You need them to be clubbed over the head a few times to get them to understand anything fundamentally simple. 

We certainly seem like a society ripe for an invasion.  In my world, where homo sapiens possess little to be desired as a species, alien intervention is, indeed, America's last hope.  ET PHONE HOME.  Of course, we'll just have our usual response, send lawyers guns and money, the $hit has hit the fan.

ENOUGH ALREADY!

I think the republicans and the millionaires in this country have focused so exclusively on a negative presidential campaign that probably none of their candidates will win office.  People can only take so much.

My mother was negative; and that's putting it mildly. I grew up with a constant stream of trashy remarks, blows to self esteem and a definite feeling of being resented and wished dead.  My mother had bipolar disorder, so I guess she didn't know how to help herself, and the reality was that back in the fifties, there just wasn't a lot of medications available to treat the illness.  My point is, people can't stand listening to the negative on a constant basis; and for the past year, that's what has happened in the presidential campaign.  I know I reached my saturation point with my mother's negativity and unleashed verbally on her on many occasions.  It made no difference in the long run, but I felt better just telling her what a drag she was.  On some level, I knew how hurtful I was being, and I wanted to be that hurtful.  Maybe it was part of my therapy. 

In politics, the truth is we don't really know what causes these greedy millionaires, whom have SO VERY MUCH, to get so involved in hatefulness and negativity.  Do you think maybe their money isn't making them very happy?  That would be my first guess.  Do you think tax breaks would make them happier?  What does it take for these people to be happy?  I don't think there's an answer.  If you're a millionaire, please contribute to making the world a better place --- off yourself.

NO PLAN ROMNEY

Since Mitt Romney never got around to telling you what his actual plan is for the United States of America, let me:

1.  Continue fighting senseless wars in ridiculous places with no intelligent governments so as to perpetuate the military/industrial complex and let fat, rich white men get fatter and richer.  He will draft the children of middle and lower classes to fight these wars as these children wouldn't probably amount to much anyway, and are expendable.  He will pay for these wars on a credit card because he'll be long dead before the bill comes due, and what does he care?  His kids will be alright.

2.  Deregulate banks even further, eroding any trust relationship citizens might have with these institutions.  He will do this so rich, fat white man can get richer and fatter.  He will laugh all the way to his bank in the Cayman Islands.

3.  Additional tax breaks for the 1% will border on the obscene.  You can't have a multi-millionaire president and expect anything less.  Do you get it?  I know you're American, but try.  Who will pay for these tax breaks?  The middle class and the poor.  You will be happy to have your minimum pay job which will be taxed at upwards of 30% because it beats starving to death.  Not by much, unfortunately.  But you can live on spam and macaroni. 

4.  He will push the button.  Mitt Romney can't wait to start wars that guarantee his opportunity to look like a tough ass hero.  He will never try to look like an intelligent diplomat; even he understands his limits.

5.  He and his Mormon followers will continue to trample all over the rights of women. 

There's more, but if you really want to find out; vote for him. 

WHERE DID WALKER GO?

Now that Act 10, Scott Walker's debacle of a state law limiting public employee unions, has gone to the courts, where it is most likely going to be found totally illegal and thrown out, there is very little media coverage regarding Scott Walker.  Why?

Here in Milwaukee, the ugly rag known as The Milwaukee Journal/Sentinel gave Walker so much positive coverage during his anti-employee campaign, I guess they've got nothing to say now that it looks like Act 10 will become the most misguided piece of legislation ever proposed.  If they can't be right, they'll be silent.  Of course, giving this newspaper any credibility as a legitimate media outlet is questionable, anyhow.  It is run by a bunch of biased rich old white men; which is the exact problem suffered by the rest of the country.

At any rate, this proves Scott Walker is not the thinking man's candidate (if indeed you needed any proof).  Act 10 was thought up by a bunch of millionaires, i.e., the Koch Brothers; Walker was just a pawn to get the dirty work done.  Now that it looks like a complete failure, Walker is hung out to dry, all alone without even a single original thought banging around in that empty head of his.  If there's no media coverage, it's because there's no governor on duty.  Scott Walker is running around Madison trying to find a clue. 

Keep your friends close, but keep your enemies closer.  Guess Scott Walker missed that lesson.

Mitt Romney's Garbage

Mitt Romney's garbage collector went on the record today telling the world how Mitt Romney doesn't appreciate him or the job he does, and lumps him in with the 47% who drain America's resources.

Well, well.  Interesting.  But what would be even more interesting is if the garbage man told us what he found in Mitt Romney's garbage. 

Let's surmise.

1.  For Men Only packages of hair coloring.

2.  Blonde Ambition hair coloring.

3.  Back issues of The Republic.

4.  Divining rocks so he can translate the gold plated messages given to Joseph Smith.  (Found out they didn't work; translated everything to pig latin.)

5.  Income statements that made up 75% of his trash.

6.  Toe Fungus Spray.

7.  Empty cases of single malt scotch.

8.  A map to the White House Panic Room.

9.  A copy of "How to Convincingly Lie and Deceive People in a Presidential Campaign".

10.  A background check of Paul Ryan, which he fell asleep reading.
