Shut up and listen session

Super Mike is going fly outta town

Wanna good laugh? Listen to the latest listening an learning session. But let me help you out with the fun moments. (this was sent to me by a South DaCola foot soldier)

If you want a hearty laugh, slide the bar to 4:15.  Mayor tells audience that he’s going on vacation on November 9 … complete with the most hilarious hand gesture he’s ever made!  All he needs is a cape with a giant “M” on his chest and he’ll save the cost of airfare!

If you have some extra time, take the bar to 11:00 for a question why streets haven’t been swept since last spring.  After the mayor gives his answer that crews have been filling potholes and the streets will be swept over the next 6 weeks, the guy must have muttered something under his breath about 6 feet of snow by then (good point) … because Huether stops, goes back, and gives the guy an earful.

Slide the bar to 20:15 for the audience question on the true cost of the event center.  Man tried to point out that with interest this will cost us closer to $200m.  Huether argues that people understand you can’t borrow money for free.  He tries to shut the guy down, but the man is persistent.  Watch the full exchange.  Runs about four minutes.

The Ugly Table #55

My belly. So what!?

REGULARS ARE FANTASTIC

They don’t always tip the best, but they meet the mark.

And this prose is not about money, it is about comfort.

As a server, you want comfort from mayhem.

While I may be a crazy bastard who has seen some crazy shit waiting tables, I still have a threshold.

Stress is not pleasant. Ever.

I found myself in a situation I could not control.

Then some ‘regulars’ showed up and asked for me.

Roy & Roseane may never know what they did. But they took me from a 10 to a 1 with their gift.

Thank you.

Stacked

I see in the city council meeting this coming Monday there is some questionable appointments;

I applied to be on this committee, and I knew in my heart of hearts I would be rejected, because I am not a lawyer or connected, but I thought at least I would receive a letter of objection. Nope, nothing, zilch. But the same old hats are running the same old show.

Expect no changes. Nothing.

Occupy Wall Street has made it to Sioux Falls

This is positive news. I was asked about this the other day, and if I would get involved. Doesn’t matter who you are, we are being duked over every single day by the super rich in this country.

Of course the plugs over at Dakota Wuss College defend the super rich bloodletting;

One of a guy wearing a t-shirt with explicit language cracked me up, but I chose not to post it on the SDWC. Other photos are just offensive and disrespectful.

You wanna know what is OFFENSIVE AND DISRESPECTFUL? That ignorant, right-wingers like yourself would defend the 1% who are raping the other 99% of Americans daily. We know very well that you don’t belong to that 1%, so why would you defend them? Because, you are an buttkissing weasel that has a dream that your ego may fit in the same room with these people some day. Keep dreaming while you eat their turd sandwiches.
