HOW CAN THE PAVILION BLAME THE ECONOMY? ACCORDING TO CITY HALL THE RECESSION HASN’T HIT SIOUX FALLS.
It seems the city is sending mixed messages. They claim we are recession proof;
Ending 2008 with a $215,786 operating fund deficit was not a surprise, Washington Pavilion of Arts and Science board members said during the annual meeting Tuesday.
Â
The year before, in 2007, the operating fund ended ahead by $52,410.
“And things looked good through much of the year,” Pay said. “We thought we might come out OK, but then we hit that economic slump.”
Oh, sorry, it wasn’t a recession it was a slump. Big difference. My bad.
“The city pays subsidies on many things,” Munson told the board Tuesday. “We pay for all our fine city parks that, like the Pavilion, greatly improve our quality of life here,” he said.
Gee, Dave, can’t remember the last time I had to pay $65 dollars to ride my bike on the bike trails, but of course, I don’t want to give you any crazy ideas either.
WOW! THERE IS A REPUBLICAN FEMALE DUMBER THEN GOVERNOR MOOSE DROOL (H/T- Jackilope)
BOSTON (AP) — “The View” co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck has been accused of plagiarism.
A lawsuit in federal court in Massachusetts alleges that Hasselbeck lifted “word for word” content from a book on celiac disease written by a self-published author on Cape Cod.
Hard to believe such a sweet girl would do something like that. It’s not like she cries hysterically or throws shit fits all the time on The View. She seems so well put together.
AND APPARENTLY LOOKING LIKE A CROSS BETWEEN FRANKENSTEIN AND ABE LINCOLN MAKES YOU ‘HUNKY’ THESE DAYS (H/T – JACKILOPE)
Our Jr. Senator, what a hunk! Great! Just when I got back into self-grooming again, ugly is back in!
“I’m a moving on up, to the top, to a deluxe office on Capital Hill . . .
“Weezy, looks like Ensign got caught with his hands in the honey pot. Oh well, another man’s affair is just an opportunity for me to climb the ladder a little more. I wonder if I will still have to do Boehner’s dry cleaning?”
Gee, maybe someday Thune could be majority leader! Wouldn’t that be wonderful for South Dakotans to have one of their senators with that much power and clout? Just imagine the possibilities! Of course, a Democrat, who had been working for lobbyists, would probably run a smear campaign against him and his wife and dethrone him because he was doing bidding for his party instead of work for the people of South Dakota (from KELO-TV):
Senator John Thune of South Dakota is running for the Republican leadership post left vacant by Senator John Ensign of Nevada.
Ensign announced he was stepping down as chairman of the Republican Policy Committee, the fourth-ranking post in the Senate GOP leadership, after admitting he had an extramarital affair.
Thune says he talked to a lot of Republican senators on Wednesday to seek their support for his bid to replace Ensign.
Thune already holds the fifth-ranking Republican post, and he says a higher leadership post would let him more effectively push for South Dakota priorities.
Slow down, Ironic Johnny, you are starting to sound like Tom Daschle more and more every day!
Thune; Still a Dink
The federal government, which has amassed large ownership interests in private companies, would be forced to sell those interests by July 1, 2010, under a bill introduced Thursday by Sen. John Thune.
Thune said Thursday that the government’s equity stakes have made President Obama a “de facto CEO” and Congress a “board of directors.” The relationship between government and private industry, he said, has “created a dangerous conflict of interest.”
Blah, Blah, Blah, Fart, Fart Fart.
John, when are you going to start talking like an adult instead of a HS Cheerleader? Let’s talk ‘dangerous’ conflicts of interest. Like when we let Enron and the energy companies have a private meeting with Dick-Dick Cheney and right the Bush energy policy. Or when we let Haliburton and Blackwater run operations in Iraq. You are worried about ‘dangerous’ conflicts of interest now?
Thune voted for the $700 billion TARP program last fall, but he said the purpose of that program was to remove troubled assets from bank balance sheets, not to buy equity stakes in private companies.
Yeah, just like authorizing the President to go to war in Iraq, wouldn’t mean he would go to war in Iraq. How did that turn out?
Thune’s bill will be popular with the Republican Party base, said Larry Sabato, the director of the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia. But with their depleted numbers in the Senate, Sabato thinks the bill has little chance of passing.
Â
“The Democrats aren’t going to permit Thune and the Republicans to tie Obama’s hands in that way,”
Thune. Go do something constructive, like retire.
