More Politics At and IN Town Hall?

I mean, they actually went INSIDE Town Hall and protested Buerkle.

Why weren't these negative, political people stopped and censured!?!?

Why aren't letters written about them and unkind words spoken about them?

I commented on this one on the website because I found it highly hypocritical - one of the comments in the article.

They were protesting Buerkle because of her voting record and although she's not a registered member of the Tea Party - her vote against raising the debt ceiling aligns her with their politics.

....And the 90-something Democrats that voted right along with her against the debt ceiling must be aligned with Tea Party politics as well.

...And let's not forget in 2006 when EVERY SINGLE DEMOCRAT VOTED AGAINST RAISING THE DEBT CEILING because.....they must be aligned with Tea Party politics.

Obviously. They might have even invented it!

Why aren't they protesting out in front of their own Town Hall in Brighton?

It can't have anything to do with politics and wanting Republican Buerkle out and Democrat Maffei in. No. Nothing to do with politics at all.

Glad you folks at Town Hall are very choosey about what politics you allow and what politics you don't allow inside those walls. Great letter in the IPost too.

I can't wait to see the letter next week from this person scolding those political protestors who went into Town Hall and protested Buerkle. I mean, given the political climate today, electing a new Congressperson every two years is just disruptive and counter productive. Buerkle spent one year to really understand the job and then she must spend the second year campaigning to keep that job and in the end is unable to accomplish what she campaigned to do. If you are like this letter writer, and you think it is refreshing to live in a community where members of opposing political parties will put aside politics and cooperate with each other for the benefit of the voters, and, if you also agree that electionsevery two years for Congress members are needlessly expensive and time-consuming, then go to the polls and vote for cooperation and common sense.....right?
I bet she wants us to vote for Buerkle because....you know....it's not about politics. It's about what she....er...we want, and it's about moving the town and country forward with people who think and vote just like me!

Do's and Don'ts

Oh September – with your trees a canopy of colors,

Starting to change like rainbow ribbons above my sun-kissed summer hair,

The cooler breezes a whisper in the air,

Calling to me like lost loved ones from long ago.

You seem familiar-and I embrace you like an old friend.

You like that? Is that positive enough for you? Is it sunny, happy shit that makes you giggle and say “wow, now we can move the town forward because she is being positive and not political”?

Sheesh - can I get a job with the F.C.C.? I can do the google like nobody's business.

Your tax dollars hard at work, folks.

Then & Now

Andrew Jackson gets called a jackass and he uses it for the symbol of the Democratic Party - Steve Eckel gets called a jackass and he demands an apology.

Link.





Look, Steve - I get called a C**T for putting my opinions up on a blog. Don't sweat it. Sticks and stones, man. Dan should apologize, because it's the right thing to do, and we need to set an example for the children all over the world - and you have my permission to call Dan a poopy-face-tomato-nose at the next meeting and we'll call it even, ok?

Then.....maybe THEN we can get back to the business of running the county? Maybe?

Sound like a good idea?

Happy 2nd Birthday FOILS!

Can't believe it's been two years! To celebrate, I will enjoy the beautiful fall colors of the day, and just relax. For a gift, I would like you all to do the same.

Comedy or Tragedy?

I'm thinking a little of both.

A "Reality Show" couldn't write a script any better than this. It has bumbling clowns, a "shady" non-licensed private I, connected political players, appointed and elected officials, and a police report to back it all up. Incredibly entertaining.

Newsworthy? Absolutely. As much as Robutrad was - and that was on the front page of the D&C for months. Mention some shenanigans with CDR working their magic against the County Executive and her Administration, which includes names of people connected to the current Mayor who is running for Lt. Governor.....and this gets a few hours on the main page only to be buried in the archives late that night.

Funny how that all works.

Marginalization & Definition Of: Housewife

I wasn't going to dedicate any time to my new label, other than the "funny ha-ha stuff" I've put on the blog already regarding "housewives" - but, after reading Oh, Irondequoit's blog about it,

I thought I would give my house-wifey opinion on it as well.

Q&A

Here are some questions that I have been asked in the past month.

Q: Is the ice skating rink going to be built?

A: No, not this year apparently. Camp Eastman land was not level enough to facilitate the ice rinks. I do not know if it's going to happen next year either.

Q: Was Marty Piecuch fired?

Auto-Tune The News

I was over at Oh, Irondequoit's blog and was watching the videos about the clicking language spoken by the people of southern and parts of eastern Africa. Very interesting, and I have seen programs on this before. I also saw a show once that showed a blind young man who would use these clicking sounds to navigate his way around his community. I guess it was like an "echo" or something that would - just by the sound - tell him if anything was in his way. Pretty neat.

I thought I'd be a copy-cat,

Campaign Buttons

I'm feeling a little squirrelly today. I don't feel like being serious, so.....I won't be.

When looking up campaign buttons, I thought: "What kind of buttons would I make for the Supervisor?"

You can assume that they aren't very positive buttons. So, if you are offended by "negativity" - don't click on the buttons. You'll be upset. Save yourself and don't click on them!

Better yet.....anyone can go to the link I went to and make their own buttons.
