BOA meeting on the 2010 budget (click here for the audio.)


While you listen to just how we plan to be in deficit spending again in 2010, oops, I meant to say "balanced with cash reserves spending," please look at the back page of the South County Times. The entire back page today is all Crestwood, and the plans for October 24, 2009, and where we can volunteer to work or send cash!

I looked up the current rate card for the paper, and I found out that it cost's $1274.00 to rent that space for one time only. I see Ms. carol Wagner's name as well as the Police department secretary on the page, but no "paid for by," so does that mean WE ARE PAYING FOR IT? I hope not, but just in case a FOIA form was sent in today for a copy of the bill, and I shall post the results here.

Interestingly enough one of the charities listed has two Crestwood folks connected to it, (Messrs. Golterman, and Kelleher) which is neither here nor there but worth the mention as it's a very good cause for kids.

Now all that said, I am the first to champion these causes, and I appreciate those who come out to work, but I am dead set against my tax monies being spent for this sort of thing when were broke! $1274.00 is a lot of money to spend on a full page ad when there was a feature story in the same paper about our plans!

I will reserve judgment here until we see just who did pay for this FULL PAGE in the paper, and again, I pray it was not us!

The liberal vs Conservitave view point. Same for Crestwood.

Conservative vs Liberal

If a conservative doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one
If a liberal doesn't like guns, then no one should have one

If a conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat.
If a liberal is a vegetarian, he wants to ban all meat products for everyone.

If a conservative sees a foreign threat, he thinks about how to defeat his enemy
A liberal wonders how to surrender gracefuly and still look good.

If a conservative is homosexual, he doesn't flaunt it.
If a liberal is homosexual, he loudly demands legislated respect.

If a minority is conservative, he sees himself as independently successful
His liberal counterparts see themselves as victims in need of government protection

If a conservative is down and out, he thinks about how to better his situation
A liberal demands that others take care of him.

If a conservative doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels
Liberals demand that those with whom they disagree be shut down.

If a conservative is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church
Aliberal wants prayer and religious speech to be silenced.

If a conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.
A liberal demands that his neighbors pay for his.

The FOIA form is in and guess what? It arrived at the same time ad the bill from the Times, so we should know "who paid for it" in a day or so.

Stay tuned for the answer.

Well we now know that Ms. Carol Wagner picked up the billing copy before the FOIA request could be filled.

We are told that an "separate entity" is going to pay the bill. So, in that case would Ms. Wagner care to step forward and tell us whom that might be?

That would be a very good idea, as it would remove any doubt anyone might have as to who paid for what.

No, come on, I said no
No means no now
I said no

[CHORUS]
I talk to myself
'Cause there is no one to talk to
People ask me why
Why I do what I do
I talk to myself
'Cause there is no one to talk to
People ask me why
Why I do what I do

People ask me why
I feel this way
Always alone
Day after day

Well, I used to be sweet
And I used to be kind
But I've been used and abused

Log on to kill this message.

For the last time

I just don't know
Why I do what I do
I can't let go
This feeling that I'm feeling

[repeat CHORUS]

They think that I'm crazy
They say I'm strange
'Cause my attitude
Has taken a change

Well, it doesn't really matter
I really don't care
'Cause all of them
Can go to Hell

I just don't know
Why I do what I do
I can't let go
This feeling that I'm feeling
Solo

Yo, Chris (what)
You want to talk (no)
What do you want to do
(Kick it)

Talk to myself
This is how it started
People call me crazy
And think I'm retarded

Since you've been gone
I've been all alone
No one to talk to on the phone

Yeah, baby
I admit I was to blame
But since you've left
Life hasn't been the same

Since you've left
There's been no one else
So all I do is talk to myself

I can't let go
This feeling that I'm feeling

7:03 PM blogger: As a service to you and others who may not understand what a "blog" is, allow me to explain.

A blog is a "web log," or an on line diary of my thought's as I have a chance to post them.

It is not necessary to respond unless you wish to (most will not allow anonymous responses,)but if you do, so much the better.

A bit clearer now?

Perhaps you then should rename it to the "Tom Ford Independent".

9:34 PM blogger: That could have been done, but then we would all miss the genius of your posts, no?

As Nobel laureate Barrack Husein Obama would say, "you have hope and choice." You can hope to change this, or choose not to read or post.

By the way how's that hope and change working out for you so far?

This woman could be a Crestwood Voter.

A woman applying for a job in a Florida lemon grove seemed to be far too qualified for the job.
The foreman frowned and said, "I have to ask you this; "Have you had any actual experience in picking lemons?"
"Well, as a matter of fact, I have!" she replied. "I've been divorced three times, owned 2 Plymouth's, and I voted for Obama."
