William Janklow; as UnAmerican as you can get
http://www.argusleader.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080430/UPDATES/80430040
I have commented in the past that I didn’t agree with the column Randell Beck wrote. It was mean and uncalled for. But it was no doubt satire, and he had a (legal) right to print it. Besides, Scott, threw the first satirical punch. Did he expect Garson and Beck to take it lying down? Don’t pick a fight with a place that buys ink by the barrel. Trust me, they have beaten me up a few times to, but I punch back, because the First Amendment gives me that right. Hiring a lawyer to defend yourself against a joke is a joke. It is the chickenshit route.
But this is less about Scott then it is about Janklow. There is a lot you can say about Janks reputation over the years. But taking on the 1st Amendment and thinking that 12 podunk SD jurors have the right to define our most important amendment is just flat wrong. It also is UnAmerican and unpatriotic. Does Janklow think he is wiser then the likes of Franklin, Hamilton and Jefferson? Give me a break. Without the First Amendment, this country would cease to exist, it allows us to dissent our political and organizational (Dan Scott) leaders. I hope this is the straw the breaks the camel’s back, and after Jank’s loses big time (and he will) maybe he will finally crawl in a hole where we never here from him again. We could be so F’ing lucky.
I think I’m going to go puke now.

I’m down to 5th but up for the month, again. Kelo gives me about a 1/3 of my traffic.
Got a message for the council? Take a number, it may be awhile

(click on the April 28th Informational meeting video)
Surprise, Surprise. Neither the mayor or the ghost of Jodi Schwan showed up to this meeting to explain how a message takes two months to get from the mayor’s office to the city council. I’ll give the Pavilion credit on this, at least they came to the meeting and took responsibility for the mistake, even though the Chair of the Trustees, Mrs. Pay got her shorts in a bunch over the Pavilion’s budget/and money allocations in the Gargoyle Leader. Well Mrs. Pay, maybe there would’nt be all this mis-information out there if the Pavilion wasn’t so damn secretive about everything. When you are open and honest from the start, you don’t have to defend yourself in the future. And as for Pat Costello saying holding off on the project will only hurt the taxpayers due to inflation, give me a break! THIS PROJECT IS TOO DAMN EXPENSIVE TO BEGIN WITH, AND UNNEEDED. Replace individual windows as needed, and hire a couple of college students over the summer to caulk the other ones. This council is unbelievable. At least Kermit and Kevin said something, while De mumbled and stammered around the issue.
