The MSM’s fascination with Dicks

Sometimes you read a Gargoyle Leader ED board editorial and you go, “Really? Nothing like stating the freaking obvious.”
But that is precisely what could happen if the Sioux Falls Sports Authority – and whoever else is behind the idea of building a $33 million stadium – persists in championing this ridiculously utopian version of a sports facility.
Ridiculous? More like completely irresponsible that any tax dollars were wasted on even exploring it.
Another thing: Anyone who thinks Sioux Falls residents would embrace the cost of such a monumental endeavor knows little about our nature.
Exactly. Voters have repeatedly, in recent years, turned down extravagant projects, especially when it involves raising taxes, that includes the Event Center proposal. But the AL is under the impression that we are all on board;
While most residents have made it clear that they think the time has come to build an events center that will serve our future needs,
And where did you pull that poll from? Your asses? I would think that it’s more like 50/50 and when you factor in taxing food more to build it I think those numbers would change even more. If you think a $33 million dollar Howard Wood or the airport saying it is a safety hazard is a deal breaker, you are nuts. A bad location, a piss-poor funding idea, and the lack of public involvement is dooming the new Events Center.
I have to be honest with you, I know I am a cynic, but I would like to see a new EC built, but I believe we can do it differently and we can do it by a taxing fairly (corporate entertainment, advertising and BBB taxes). It just shows how out of touch our supposed city and business leaders are with the rest of the general public.
Imagine that, the city has all kinds of money to chase people around for pouring cement on their own property or not mowing your lawn, but when it comes to investigating felons running daycares, the kitty is dry. Oh and then there is the secrets
This is one of the better stories the Gargoyle Leader has covered in a long time. The facts are appalling. It’s one thing to allow felons to run daycares, it’s another thing to keep it a secret from the public. And the city’s excuse ‘Not enough money to police the daycares.’ Give me a break. If we can drop millions for a Jr. Football field ‘FOR THE KIDS’ we can spend a little extra policing daycares ‘FOR THE KIDS’. Gawd, I am glad I don’t have children.
Any complaints against Bresson’s day care provider are closed by city policy. Other parents, observers and some providers are asking for increased regulation and transparency of the more than 420 city-registered day cares.
Get Out! Balloon boy was a hoax. No wonder the MSM wasn’t qualified to ask the tough questions before the run-up to the war in Iraq, they can’t even figure out when a 6 year old is f’ing with them,
(CNN) — The case of a giant Mylar balloon, which ascended into the sky late last week amid fears a 6-year-old boy was aboard, has been determined to be a “hoax” and a “publicity stunt,” Larimer County, Colorado, Sheriff Jim Alderden said Sunday.

I have to start twittering again! I see she has good taste in art too!
