Does this remind anyone of a Crestwood Board meeting? Click here and see!
I saw this last night, and as I did it seemed to morph into two entirely different people!
I thought I saw Bill O'Reilly become Alderman Nieder, and Barney Frank become His Honor, Roy Robinson!
Mr. O'Reilly has nailed it just the same as Alderman Nieder has, and it's great to finally see someone stand up for the great unwashed!
My kudos to both Alderman Nieder and Mr. O'Reilly, as they truly have the passion to get to the heart of the problem, and they are not afraid to speak for us!

Here is the most stupid part of the bailout. It is Section 211 and it's called the "Transportation Fringe Benefit To Bicycle Commuters" and if your employer will certify that you ride a bicycle to work the majority of the time then the government will buy your bike and pay for all repairs and maintenance on your bike.
What in the heck does that have to do with helping the staggering financial markets and what birdbrain Senator put that in the bill?
This is much the same as we see in Crestwood, only we see things like "parking lot renovation" using other peoples money (TDD)

And now on Nov 4th we will be asked to approve a 1/4 cent increase to sales taxes. And you know what, it will pass and not one negative thing will be said about it but god forbid the City of Crestwood ask for a 1/4 cent Tax and residents on this Blog would go absolutly bonkers.
See you all at the soup kitchen.
10:33 AM blogger: well friend, I will be saying quite a bit about it (so don't whine when I do it, ) WE DON'T NEED IT, AND WE DON'T WANT IT!
Darn it, it's time for these "tax and spend" liberals to realize that we work hard for our money, and were tired of giving `it to the Government to squander!
Yes, I said squander, because that's just what they do with it!
What would you have the Crestwood Citizens who are now on a fixed income do, live on Alpo?
Cut the "pork" spending for the love of Mike before we all have to "just send in our entire check," and become a communist, socialist society!
Tom Ford
You speak of these people who live on a fixed income Tom. I don't know anyone who doesn't live on a fixed income. The difference is I wish I was one on the nearly 60% of people who own their own home in Crestwood. What a difference that would make in my life.
11:44 AM blogger: You are correct, it does make a difference! Even though my house payment was only $248.00 per month (been here, same house 39 years,) I should still have that now as "mad money?"
Well not quite because several people have figured out ways to extract that from me!
I sometimes wonder what would happen if it wasn't paid off, but it is, and I am going nowhere (can't afford to!)
We do have the Citizens who are not as fortunate, who are in the middle of this mess, and need to be able to keep what they have though!
That is why I am against any new taxes as long as any Government entity continues to spend as the do!

I like minestrone soup or broccoli cheese soup.
Don't recall Crestwood asking for 1/4 cent recently. They DID ask us to nearly DOUBLE our property taxes last August.
I thought this was a hoot, what with the financial mess!
Dear Sir:
I am writing to thank you for bouncing my check with which I endeavored to pay my plumber last month.
By my calculations, three nanoseconds must have elapsed between his presenting the check and the arrival in my account of the funds needed to honor it.
I refer, of course, to the automatic monthly deposit of my entire pension, an arrangement which, I admit, has been in place for only eight years. You are to be commended for seizing that brief window of opportunity, and also for debiting my account $30 by way of penalty for the inconvenience caused to your bank. My thankfulness springs from the manner in which this incident has caused me to rethink my errant financial ways.
I noticed that whereas I personally answer your telephone calls and letters, --- when I try to contact you, I am confronted by the impersonal, overcharging, pre-recorded, faceless entity which your bank has become.
From now on, I, like you, choose only to deal with a flesh-and-blood person. My mortgage and loan repayments will therefore and hereafter no longer be automatic, but will arrive at your bank, by check, addressed personally and confidentially to an employee at your bank whom you must nominate.
Be aware that it is an offense under the Postal Act for any other person to open such an envelope. Please find attached an Application Contact which I require your chosen employee to complete. I am sorry it runs to eight pages, but in order that I know as much about him or her as your bank knows about me, there is no alternative. Please note that all copies of his or her medical history must becountersigned by a Notary Public, and the mandatory details of his/her financial situation (income, debts, assets and liabilities) must be accompanied by documented proof. In due course, at MY convenience, I will issue your employee with a PIN number which he/she must quote in dealings with me.
I regret that it cannot be shorter than 28 digits but, again, I have modeled it on the number of button presses required of me to access my account balance on your phone bank service. As they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Let me level the playing field even further.
When you call me, press buttons as follows:
IMMEDIATELY AFTER DIALING, PRESS THE STAR (*) BUTTON FOR ENGLISH
#1. To make an appointment to see me
#2. To query a missing payment.
#3. To transfer the call to my living room in case I am there.
#4. To transfer the call to my bedroom in case I am sleeping
#5. To transfer the call to my toilet in case I am attending to nature.
#6. To transfer the call to my mobile phone if I am not at home
#7. To leave a message on my computer, a password to access my computer is required. Password will be communicated to you at a later date to that Authorized Contact mentioned earlier.
#8. To return to the main menu and to listen to options 1 through 7.
#9. To make a general complaint or inquiry. The contact will then be put on hold, pending the attention of my automated answering service.
#10. This is a second reminder to press* for English. While this may, on occasion, involve a lengthy wait, uplifting music will play for the duration of the call.
Regrettably, but again following your example, I must also levy an establishment fee to cover the setting up of this new arrangement. May I wish you a happy, if ever so slightly less prosperous New Year?
Your Humble Client
And remember: Don't make old ladies mad. They don't like being old in the first place, so it doesn't take much to set them off.

I saw the O'Relly vs Frank interview.
it reminded me of the mayor as Frank and the rest of the world as O'Relly
as he tried to persuade everyone that he knew nothing. That it was someone else's fault.
I see that our former City Administration Kent L. has an Obama for President sign in his front yard.
Now I know why Roy was defending Kent so much, both of them are closet liberals.
12:15 PM blogger: Nothing is more dispicable than a person who will not stand up for their core belief's!
I am very disappointed by Kent, but as for his Honor, I am disgusted with the notion that he cannot, or maybe he does!
Unfortunately we no longer have the luxury of playing at running a City, so he had best get off his high horse, and tell us who did what, and to whom!
Tom Ford
I am not for Obama at all nor will I ever be. But everyone has the right to vote for whoever they want for President.
As long as we have our people fighting for that right and all our other rights as free Americans, Kent Leichliter and the rest of America is allowed to vote for whomever they so desire.
Your basis for judging people, makes as much sense as the rest of those who are blindsided by their own prejudice.
It's a pity that someone would stoop that low as to make an issue out of a sign that Kent Leichliter has on his lawn expressing his freedom of speech.
Would your dismay for Kent be any different had the sign been for McCain? NOT! That's my point!
If you have the right express your dissatisfaction on this blog about anyone, or anything, it is that same right that says he can put a sign on his lawn dispite your indignation and contempt. No need to chuckle about it and no need to speak of the mayor in the same context.
When my rights, your rights, Tom Ford's rights and the rights of all Americans are no longer allowed, we will all be in deep do do; so let Kent alone. He is gone and has paid his dues. Remember look forward and not backward.
The dissatisfaction is with our Mayor who said he was in Kent's corner because he knew him real well.
Which means that our Mayor either does not know Kent "real well" or he does and agrees with Kent's Presidential candidate.
And dear blogger I have a right to feel the way and post this way I do even if you don't like it. Something Kent's candidate Obama is trying to stop in our State with his truth squads. Which strangely enough is what Our Mayor is trying to do per his quotes about when, were and what Martha Duchild can speak. Interesting, maybe the Mayor is a closet liberal after all?
This is a subject that is looking forward and not looking backward.
If you are upset with the mayor because he doesn't allow a person to speak, just say so instead of using Presidential candidates to get your point across. We have heard it before; so why not just say it again. Why try to glamorize it to make it more interesting. Nobody really cares anyway.
If you don't like Kent's sign, that's your call but who really gives a darn; it means nothing except by noting it, you want to take credit for finding another reason to dislike him; which we also don't really care about. Big deal.
I think by now there is no one on this blog who "doesn't know" your feelings regarding the mayor, his behavior, his attitude, his outer self, his inner self, and everything else that you can find in any dump in the whole of America to compare him to. Litter, smelly dung, trash, dead road kill, etc. and so on.
OK we get it! Now how many more times do you feel it necessary to repeat yourself? I call it the Magnificent Obsession and frankly it really gets boring!!!!!
Then either quite reading this blog or post something you find not so boring.
No. You stop whining and get a recall petition going and get rid of the mayor and stop using the blog as a political platform for your repetitious remarks. If there are so many of you out there that are unhappy, you would be able to get people to sign up in one afternoon. What's stopping you.
What purpose does it serve to keep stating the same gall dang things over and over again? You abuse this blog with your insatiable rehetoric. If you were to stay away from this blog, and others like you, there would be no more blog because that's all we read over and over again.
Put your unhappiness into action and use your right to recall or shut up.
You're like a unhappy, crabby woman going through menopause who needs some hormones or something.
You want to be a part of the committee of five needed to get the petition started?
9:20 Heck No. That's somebody else's call, not mine. The blogger or bloggers who keep stating how unhappy they are, should be able to get 10,000 signatures according to what is written on this blog. But they do nothing but abuse the blog with nonsense.
I say go get him but don't include me cause I can see right through the manure.
These few people are making a mockery out of this blog and expect everybody to buy what they say. I say, they protest too much to be believable.
Roy lover.
By comment of the previous blogger, explains what I mean when you try to throw in an intelligent comment.
Who needs all that garbage?
Blogger please explain this comment: You're like a unhappy, crabby woman going through menopause who needs some hormones or something. I find it highly offensive and sexist. There's a term for men who "need something" too, but I'm too much of a lady to post it! Praytell what hormonal deficiency might you be suffering from? hmmm? What a despicable way to make a point. Hey guess what? YOU CANNOT MAKE WOMEN INVISIBLE BY DENYING THEM THE RIGHT TO SPEAK IN PUBLIC NOR BY SAD ATTEMPTS AT HUMILIATION CONCERNING THEIR AGE.
That is why 9:54 is a Roy lover, they think the same way as Roy does.
The one thing about blogs is that people write what they really feel usually. Many time it is great interaction and informatory.
However, feeling the need to call someone a closet liberal or to comment on what political yard sign is in someone's yard and making this all sound accusatory makes a blog essentially useless for someone looking for an intelligent format. Soon the blog becomes useless.
4:50 PM blogger: You just have to tune out the remarks you don't like, and respond to the good ones, simple.
Tom Ford
