Jason Folkarts had a Republican on his KCPO political show. Wait, he always has on Republicans. Kidding aside, he had my favorite city councilor Dr. Kermit Staggers on the show. It was refreshing because;
1) Kermit knows his stuff when it comes to civics (He has a PHD in that stuff).
2) He is an old skool conservative – which is cool – low taxes – small government.
3) He slammed the bailout, I think I liked this quote, “This is going to have to be paid for by people who haven’t even been born yet.” (I think Leslee Unruh is working on that).
4) And best of all, he pretty much made fun of the Vote No on IM 10 TV commercials about teachers not being able to talk to their husbands. Kermit and I agree on this, it is complicated language, but it is a good measure and the other side is LYING THRU THEIR TEETH in the commercials. No surprise though, it is NOT supported by either political party.
5) He loves Sarah Palin. C’mon Kermit! Really?!?! Well not quite, but he was pretty complimentary.
I saw this in McKennan park today. Thought the Al Franken sign was a nice touch – I wonder if Daugaard lives there?
LMFAO- Saw this video today, I think the kid nailed it. “I hope you hit a whale on the way to France.”
Seems the McCain campaign is spinning the Hockey Mom status of Palin a little further . . . I always thought she was a VPILF instead?
The school board decided to not let extremists distribute their crap in the schools anymore, but the Gargoyle Leader has even a better idea . . . junk mail and spam. Yeah, that’s a GREAT IDEA! this from the same people who endorsed Vernon Brown and the sales tax hike.
Perhaps there still is some way for the school district to help those groups whose important missions revolve around helping children grow and learn. Electronic communication quickly is becoming universal. Some sort of opt-in e-mail distribution list might make sense. The schools could then turn that list over to organizations that ask for it, thereby escaping the middle-man role. The same could be done with mailing addresses.
