"WiGWAG: Trump and McDonald's, 'Mueller Time,' and more"
Lisa Neff and Louis Weisberg, Staff writersUpdated
McDonald in the White House
A woman wrote to ask Pat Robertson — the ethically challenged preacher and host of CBN’s The 700 Club
— why God allowed her 15-year-old son to die. Robertson had an answer
for God at the ready: God let her son die to prevent him from becoming
an alcoholic or atheist later in life. Robertson previously described
the Las Vegas massacre as God’s retribution for America’s disrespect of
Donald Trump.

McDonald in the White House
Donald Trump so loves McDonald’s he even ordered the White House kitchen staff to recreate the fast-food chain’s fried apple pie and Quarter Pounder with cheese — minus the pickle and with extra ketchup, according to a Politico report. But apparently ingredients at the White House are too high-grade and the chef couldn’t satisfy Trump’s tastes — and so a senior staffer found himself at the Golden Arches. Pity the poor driver when the president downloads UberEATS to his phone.
Comforting words
OB-GYN’s ‘oh my’
A gynecologist in Altoona, Pennsylvania, says she was inundated with calls from men trying to schedule appointments with her office. The calls came after media publicized that OB-GYNs were able to prescribe medical marijuana. Pennsylvania’s medical marijuana law, passed in 2016, provides for prescriptions for patients dealing with 17 qualifying conditions. Male menopause is not one of them.So much for Southern neighborliness
After years of an ongoing political feud, a neighbor of U.S. Sen. Rand Paul just couldn’t take it any more. Rene Albert Boucher, 59, attacked Paul from behind as he was mowing his lawn in Bowling Green, Kentucky, forcing the senator to the ground and fracturing five of the his ribs. Paul is a Republican, Boucher is a registered Democrat. Boucher’s been charged with fourth-degree assault with a minor injury, a misdemeanor.Fears squashed
An 81-year-old resident of Bretten, Germany, alerted police after he came across an “object, which really did look very like a bomb,” according to a statement from local law enforcement. The object was about 16 inches in length, weighed 11 pounds and was found in a garden. Any guesses? Yep, it was a rather large zucchini.Texas humor
Activists are crying foul over a restaurant’s use of pre-op images of Bruce Jenner from the Olympics on the door of its men’s room and Caitlyn Jenner’s famous Vanity Fair cover on the women’s room. Dodie’s Place Cajun Bar & Grill in Allen, Texas, shared photos of its weekly specials and new bathroom doors in a Facebook post that went viral.Dumb strength
A new study published in the journal Translational Issues in Psychological Science says Donald Trump stands out among other politicians as being exceptionally low in analytic thinking. Processing speeches, debates and written documents in intelligent text analysis software, the researchers identified where Trump falls on the analytic-narrative continuum. He scored a 23.8 to Ben Carson’s 39.1, Marco Rubio’s 48.7, John Kasich’s 48.9 and Ted Cruz’s 62.1. The conclusion: The analytically minded see Trump as superficial and uninformed but his supporters see him as straightforward and relatable.The ultimate selfie
The Greater Columbus Convention Center has turned a popular cultural practice into a dramatic piece of art. Visitors to the Ohio center provide their faces to create — and recreate — “As We Are,” a 14-foot-high “interactive sculpture” shaped like a human head. Step into a 3-D photo booth, and next see your face become the sculpture’s face, thanks to the head’s custom-built, 850,000 LED display screens. A phone selfie will never be the same.She-ro loses job
A White House photographer caught D.C. bicyclist Juli Briskman flipping off Donald Trump with her middle finger as the president’s caravan carted him to his golf course in Sterling, Virginia. The picture went viral immediately, with the hashtag #Her2020. But it also caught the attention of her employer, White House contractor Akima, LLC. While the masses declared Briskman a “she-ro,” her boss declared her fired.Welcome to ‘Mueller Time’
Every time Special Counsel Robert Mueller indicts an associate of President Donald Trump, the Bird DC — a bar in the U.S. capital — will offer a special $5 “Moscow Mueller” cocktail. The drink is the restaurant’s variation of the Moscow Mule, made with vodka, ginger beer and lime juice. Earlier this year, the Bird announced $4 happy hour drinks on days when Trump fired a White House staffer.From:http://www.wisconsingazette.com/blogs/wigwag-trump-and-mcdonald-s-mueller-time-and-more/article_9a0ffe06-cae3-11e7-8d0b-ef86c0cb7250.html

"Mount Pleasant considering beer gardens"
Alright! I can't wait to see the fights and drunk driving: http://journaltimes.com/news/local/mount-pleasant-considering-beer-gardens/article_d4bdb9fd-fbf5-55ca-9d38-3b93b2244c67.html

Dear Madame Zoltar
The Packers won last week. Let's hope they can get a streak going this Sunday at 1 PM when they host Baltimore.
Here are the standings in the Irregular Football League:
Ah! I feel better when there is more space between me and Mr. OrbsCorbs. The Mighty Bears are a nice spacer.
Foxconn, Foxconn, Foxconn! O my. They're going to have driverless delivery trucks and flying cars. It's widely believed that Mr. J.C. Himself may make an appearance at the Foxconn groundbreaking. Personally, I would prefer Satan, as I believe he played no small part in this deal. Give credit where credit is due. A lot of the current residents of Hades will probably end up working for Foxconn. They know how to get things done.
So far, it's all been just talk. How this comes to fruition will be interesting to see. There are so many hands already in the pot, I think I'll stick mine out, too. I helped recruit Foxconn! I did so by keeping my mouth shut. That will be $1,000, please.
So, where has our new mayor been? Or is this another deal where he'll let the city administrator run the show while he sits back and collects the pay? I heard that they're going to build a hotel on top of the new events center. That will save a lot of space. Maybe we can put some parking lots up there, too. And some gallows for the politicians and other crooks who look to profit from this. Hanging a politician or two always clears the air.
And don't limit it to Foxconn. Let's hang all of the crooks in office. Man, that gallows will be working 24 hours a day, 7 days a week,
I love you, my babies. Take good care of each other. That's all we really have: each other.
madamezoltar@jtirregulars.com
Enjoy whatever good days you can. Soon enough, we'll be buried in white. Of course, that's not very pc, but who's going to call Mother Nature on it? Last I heard, she was orbiting one of Mercury's moons.

"Got To Be Fruitcake Weather"
From the Shepherd Express:
by Art Kumbalek
And I’m trying to remember what the heck happened that I should feel the way I feel. Cripes, I don’t remember any tracks; I don’t remember any whistles; I don’t remember any bells; I don’t remember any swinging lanterns, any crossing signals; so, what the fock.
What I do remember is parking my butt on a stool smack-dab barside over by the Uptowner tavern/charm school. I remember Little Jimmy Iodine asking how long it would be until a big-time disaster movie called November, 2016 would hit the theaters.
I remember Ernie saying that since children of any age can now carry a gun whilst hunting in our Dairy Land’s glens and dales, it’s got to be only a matter of time ’til they can pack one with their lunch and take it to school for protection purposes.
And then I remember somebody asking this question: “If a man says something in the middle of the woods and no woman hears him, is he still wrong?”—which reminded me of a little story:
So these two older ladies were having their breakfast at Webb’s one morning. Norma notices something odd about Mabel’s ear and says, “Mabel, do you know you’ve got a suppository sticking out of your left ear?” Mabel says, “What?” So Norma repeats the question: “Mabel, do you know you’ve got a suppository sticking out of your left ear?” Mabel says, “I have a suppository in my ear?” She pulls it out, stares at it and says, “Good heavens, Norma, I’m glad you noticed this thing. It gives me a gosh darn good idea where to find my hearing aid.” Ba-ding!
I forget which one of us knobs asked the question—“If a man says something in the middle of the woods …” blah-blah-blah—but I do remember then a heated debate that nearly came to rationality broke out. Herbie was the most concise of the group: “Listen you focksticks, whatever it is that this focking guy in the woods might say, you can bet your buck two-eighty that you’ll never hear him say, ‘Let’s watch Oprah.’ You’ll never him say, ‘Yeah, I was hoping my mother-in-law could’ve stayed over longer.’ And you’ll never hear him say, ‘Hon, do you think this condom makes me look fat?’”
I think I remember that I pretty much stayed out of the discussion—metaphysics was never my strong suit. I’m more of a quantum mechanics guy who likes to wonder about all the invisible stuff in the universe we haven’t discovered yet, stuff that had it been specifically mentioned in the Bible could definitely be of use in this day and age.
Yeah yeah, that goddamn Bible. Hey, I like a story about casting stones at whores or sacrificing barnyard animals as much as the next guy, but a little Lordly help with quantum electrodynamics would’ve been nice—especially the part that offers up the perhaps dire possibility that the universe we seem to be part of right now could disappear with all of us in it in a split second and we wouldn’t even know it ’cause some kind of unseen vacuums could flip around in a blink of the eye, focking-A.
This discussion meandered a tad, and then Julius proposed a toast to the poet Dylan Thomas, who died 64 years ago the other day, and who sometime said: An alcoholic is someone you don’t like who drinks as much as you do.
Then Ray took the bait and became Captain Cat, the old blind sea captain from the poet’s great work, Under Milk Wood, who told us the following story:
An old retired sailor puts on his old retired uniform and heads for the docks once more, for old time’s sake. He engages a prostitute and takes her up to a room.
He’s soon going at it as well as he can for a guy his age, but needing some reassurance, he asks, “How am I doing?” The prostitute replies, “Old sailor, you’re doing about three knots.”
“Three knots?” he asks. “What’s that supposed to mean?” She says, “You’re knot hard, you’re knot in, and you’re knot getting your money back.” Ba-ding-ding-ding!
And I remember Little Jimmy saying the Big Bang has to be the granddaddy of disaster explosions—now nearly 14 billion years since, and where’s the upside? And I remember saying “fock if I know,” ’cause I’m Art Kumbalek and I told you so.

"Chaos In Detroit: Undercover Cops Battle Each Other In Sting Operation Gone Wrong"
by Tyler Durden
Nov 12, 2017 8:30 PM
This weekend, a big “embarrassment” is festering inside the Detroit Police Department after undercover units from two separate police precincts exchange blows during a sting operation gone wrong.
Fox2 says
it all started when two special operations officers from the 12th
Precinct were posing as drug dealers to entrap city residents in a ‘push
off’.
The officers were working in Andover on Detroit’s east side, known for high drug activity.
As officers from the 12th Precinct pretended to be dope dealers, two special operations officers from 11th precinct showed up pretending to be customers. As the deal went bad, the 11th precinct officers ordered the 12th Precinct officers to the ground not knowing that they were fellow colleagues.
That is when all hell broke out and we’ll let Fox2 describe what happened next:
Taryn Asher, Fox2 Anchor/Reporter in Detroit, shares her story of what went wrong...

That is when all hell broke out and we’ll let Fox2 describe what happened next:
FOX 2 is told the rest of the special ops team from the 12th Precinct showed up, and officers began raiding the drug house in the 19300 block of Andover. But instead of fighting crime, officers from both precincts began fighting with each other.
Sources say guns were drawn and punches were thrown while the homeowner stood and watched. The department’s top cops were notified along with Internal Affairs. One officer was taken to the hospital.
In a rare incident of ‘blue on blue violence’– this is something that is rarely discussed nevertheless happens. Each officer is now under investigation- as the top brass of the police department and internal affairs have now started their investigations. Nevertheless, top brass of the Detroit Police Department declined to comment and said more details next week.
Bottomline: The story is still developing and we suspect this incident could gain more attention when the ‘reported body-cam footage’ is released.

How reassuring.
"The US's most secretive intelligence agency was embarrassingly robbed and mocked by anonymous hackers"
 |
| Reuters |
"The NSA, which compiles massive troves of data on US citizens and organizes cyberoffensives against the US's enemies, was deeply compromised by a group known as the Shadow Brokers, which has made headlines in the past year in connection to the breach.
"The group now posts cryptic, mocking messages pointed toward the NSA as it sells the cyberweapons, created at huge cost to US taxpayers, to any and all buyers, including US adversaries like North Korea and Russia.
"'It's a disaster on multiple levels,' Jake Williams, a cybersecurity expert who formerly worked on the NSA's hacking group, told The Times. 'It's embarrassing that the people responsible for this have not been brought to justice.'
"'These leaks have been incredibly damaging to our intelligence and cybercapabilities,' Leon Panetta, the former director of the Central Intelligence Agency, told The Times. 'The fundamental purpose of intelligence is to be able to effectively penetrate our adversaries in order to gather vital intelligence. By its very nature, that only works if secrecy is maintained and our codes are protected.'
"Furthermore, a wave of cybercrime has been linked to the release of the NSA's leaked cyberweapons.
"Another NSA source who spoke with The Times described the attack as being at least in part the NSA's fault. The NSA has long prioritized cyberoffense over securing its own systems, the source said. As a result the US now essentially has to start over on cyberinitiatives, Panetta said."
Read the full story at The New York Times here.

I believe that these various groups and businesses are being "invaded" by hackers at the very highest levels. For the U.S., it's a giant security breach. For many of the hackers, it's a lark. So, cyber security more or less doesn't exist with our government. What a mess. Hire the hackers.

While on the topic of Will Law and the constitution
From a friend,
A tentative draft to the Town of Dover, I will complete this draft next week and forward it to the town board members. I still have much to add.
A tentative draft to the Town of Dover, I will complete this draft next week and forward it to the town board members. I still have much to add.
The town of Dover is in a pickle because of the bad legal advice received from its legal counsel.
Legal
Counsel's overly simplistic use of " it is law; therefore it is
legal" is insufficient legal advice to the Town of Dover, and I will
go as far as to label Ludwig's legal advice as legal negligence.
Since
the writing of the U.S. Constitution along with its amendments, the
denial/withholding of the right to due process is and always has been
contrary to the constitution of the United States.
Keep in mind that practicing attorneys are acting as agents of the court
Any
practicing attorney who thru legal practice denies the rights
guaranteed by the U.S. constitution to U. S. citizens has violated
his/her oath of office and is not worthy to practice law.
I suggest the Town of Dover notify the Ludwig law firms insurance carrier of a possible claim of malpractice.

Sent to MTP Village Board - copy
Dear Village Board,
The Wisconsin Legislative Council has found that the Act 58, in regards to Foxconn, is most likely Unconstitutional.PDF attached:
Let me remind all the elected officers receiving this E-mail - to include now Mayor Cory Mason (who is not receiving THIS E-mail) - that you took an OATH OF OFFICE to uphold the Constitution of The State of Wisconsin. Which would REQUIRE you to oppose any Unconstitutional Foxconn Legislation/Acts - or be a traitor and thus an enemy of The State, acting in violation of your oath.
Oath of office. Section 28. Members of the legislature, and all officers, executive and judicial, except such inferior officers as may be by law exempted, shall before they enter upon the duties of their respective offices, take and subscribe an oath or affirmation to support the constitution of the United States and the constitution of the state of Wisconsin, and faithfully to discharge the duties of their respective offices to the best of their ability.
https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/constitution/wi/000229/000030
You took an OATH - now live up to it - and just tell Foxconn NO!
Sincerely,
Open Attachment:

Good morning everyone how are you doing? It is a very cold day out there I was out this morning taking Drew to work and I could not believe it I had to layer the clothes on. If you do not have to go out I would just stay in the house. Here are your questions.
1) Out of the three holidays coming up which one is your favorite?
2) Do you spend any of the three holidays with friends and family?
3) Why is that holiday so special to you?
4) Do you have any friends or family over to your house for one of the three holidays?
Have a nice and warm weekend!

"Concerned Racine County Residents Just Say NO To Foxconn"
"The Danger is Real as the Potentially
Unconstitutional FOXCONN 'Corporate Person' is Granted Superior Right to
the Natural Person by Legislative Decree"
Thank You, Mount Pleasant Police Officer Blickle.
On Monday, I was in the new KwikTrip on Spring St. When I went to leave, I couldn't find my keys. I looked everywhere and couldn't find them. The store staff were very nice and helpful. The manager reviewed the security tape and didn't see me set down anything. One of the store clerks said that the Mount Pleasant Police Department offers a service where one of their officers will come out and attempt to open your car, but only when they have the time. He called them for me. They said, "Sit down. Have some free coffee."
Officer Blickle arrived within 15 minutes. After running my plates and license, I had to sign a release which freed the Mount Pleasant Police Department from any damages incurred during their attempt to gain entry into my vehicle.
I asked Officer Blickle if they still had "Slim Jims." "Nope," he replied. "I wish we still did." We had a couple at the shop in Chicago. Essentially, they're a long strip of flat metal with a notch cut out near the end. You wiggle that piece of metal between the door and window. When you get it down there, you can feel it engage the lock. Then just pull up.
Instead, Officer Blickle had an inflatable bladder that he wedged between the door and the pillar. This opens it enough for him to insert a long metal rod and start fishing for the lock. In a short while, he had it. My keys turned out to be in one of the cup holders mounted on the transmission hump. That's the first time I've done that. Getting old is a bitch.

Dear Madame Zoltar
Uh, the Packers lost.
Here are the standings from the Irregular Football League:
Omg! How did Mr. OrbsCorbs get past me? Oh no! This can't be!
Our Chowder Head in Chief is on an Asiatic tour. I'm sure he's being surrounded by followers at least two people thick. Just don't start a nuclear war, please. Chubby Cheeks is sensitive to criticism. That's something you have in common with him. If Trump has balls as big as he claims he does, let him slit Chubby Cheeks' throat. Donald, don't forget to wear your body armor. We can hide a fully automatic AK47 and ammo behind the podium on the stage. Let him spray it, not say it.
Trump may have to be taken into custody by the Secret Service. Nobody knows where the fuck he is then, except probably out in the desert somewhere. Those fuel cells on the roofs of all of the ATVs are filled with gasoline. Fuel for the vehicles and a generator. The vehicles are armored. An explosion on the roof would have little effect on surrounding vehicles or the vehicle below.
A rocket-propelled grenade at the right spot might do the trick, but why chance it and call in an air-strike, instead. "Good night, Irene, good night, Irene..."
We have trouble finding Mr. Gov. Scooter sometimes. I think he likes to get together with his frat buddies there and sing and drink until broad daylight. Then he makes laws.
Does he know of the vast number of drinking establishments we have downtown, with more on the way? It's a drunk's paradise. Let's call Machinery Row, Drunkard's Row instead. I wonder how many drunks will fall into the river and drown?
OK, my children, I love you and pray for your protection all week long. The nut jobs with rifles seems to be on the rise. What a world we have made.

Turkey Day is on the march towards us. A day devoted to gluttony. We know how to celebrate a holiday in America. Eat well. Spend well. Love well. Oh yeah.

"Website Targets Mount Pleasant Resident & Local Activist"
"A local activist in Mount Pleasant has gone public about a website she says is targeting her for being outspoken about village operations and elected officials.
"Kelly Gallaher is well known in political circles in Racine County and has openly butted heads with leadership in Mount Pleasant for years. In May, a website called Let’s Make a Better Mt. Pleasant was started, and in the months since, the majority of the posts on this website have taken aim at Gallaher. It has also focused on Trustees Ken Otwaska, Gary Feest and Jon Hansen. In October alone, the website published six posts, all focused on Gallaher.
"The name of the blog is a play on the Facebook page Gallaher and other residents of Mount Pleasant created a couple of years ago: A Better Mt. Pleasant.
"Who’s the author remains a question"
"Gallaher told Racine County Eye she believes Village President David DeGroot is behind the blog, but she has no proof. Gallaher concedes that because the author is anonymous it could be anyone.
"DeGroot denied having anything to do with Let’s Make a Better Mt. Pleasant or knowing anything about the site.
"'I have no idea what she's 'talking about,' he said, adding that he doesn’t have time to read or care about the website.
"Gallaher said she contacted law enforcement about the website and its harassment of her, but because the comments are delivered through a public online venue and not directly to her through notes, emails or voicemail messages, there is no legal recourse.
"'The laws in Wisconsin have not kept up with technology,' Gallaher added. 'That means we can’t get a subpoena to find the owner of the website to get them to stop.'

"The 54 Year Itch"
From the Shepherd Express:
1963: “The Beverly Hillbillies” was the top-rated TV show; A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum was Tony’s Best Musical; the Dodgers with superhuman Sandy Koufax swept the Yankees in the World Series (Pete Rose was NL Rookie of the Year); the Green Bay Packers failed to advance to the NFL title game after three successive visits ’cause Paul focking Hornung was busted for gambling; the Swingle Singers grabbed the Grammy for Best New Artist; Sonny Rollins took first in Down Beat’s Critics Poll on tenor sax; jeans were play-clothes and they were called overalls; and in the early afternoon on 11/22 of that year, you would’ve found me cooling my heels whilst bored on my ass during eighth-grade social studies class, getting the particulars on the fascinating topic of the economy of Guate-focking-mala, our Latin neighbor to the south, I kid you not.
I remember starting to nod off when the loudspeaker above the blackboard squealed for our attention with word that the coolest guy in the country, and the first president to be inaugurated not sporting a brim, had been shot in focking Dallas. It was like getting socked in the breadbasket by a 10th grader as hard as he could so you had diarrhea and needed to puke, in unison. Later, the radio broadcast through that loudspeaker told us the president was gone, leaving behind for some of us the firm belief that faith in the future would forever more be nothing but moosedick.
But that was then. Today, my belief that “faith in the future” is moosedick grows stronger with each successive commander-in-chief to be endured, and I am able to take a more objective view of our first Catholic president. And I got to tell you—JFK—what a guy. The original party president. The Kennedy White House, Camelot they called it, but Came-a-lot would be more like it. And the “Bay of Pigs,” some kind of botched invasion of Cuba? Hell no. The bay of pigs was the sound one heard outside the presidential boudoir when Jackie was out of town.
Lots of people to this day would swear that Jack is the top tomato when it comes to presidentializing. I think not. Yes, true, he was the first rock-star president. Rock stars are assclowns, so big focking deal. That fact alone is enough for me to place Jack in the lowest third of historical U.S. presidents, next to knobs like the Zach Taylors, the Jim Buchanans, the George Bushes. Yes, JFK made it possible for the Beatles to happen, but I always thought those Rolling Stones cleaned their clocks, at least until Mick Jagger started looking like Don Knotts’ stunt double.
On the other hand, he did bag Marilyn Monroe, so that gets him up in my personal standings a tad. Of course, back then the only celeb who didn’t bag Marilyn Monroe was the pope; although to this day there remains yet no irrefutable documentation that clearly states he didn’t get his share too, so who the fock really knows, ain’a?
And speaking of no irrefutable documentation, we have the assassination theories. About this Kennedy whack cum conspiracy cum first TV-president cum lodestone for lunatics, once that Warren Commission snow job came down with no mention of Pete Rozelle (former National Football commish) as a possible conspirator, I knew there was a stinky worm can afoot. Hey, you’re telling me that only three years after Dallas was given a football franchise over the desires of JFK, who wanted his Boston to have professional tackle football instead, the president just happened to be in that Texan cow town during the middle of football season—and got shot? Unnecessary roughness? You bet. Hey, where were the officials on that play. You tell me.
Not to mention that nobody ever questioned what the fock a schoolbook depository was doing in Texas. They hardly have schools, let alone books for christ sakes. Like Will Rogers should’ve said: “I never met a Texan who ever read a book.”
But of course, we now know that it was you and me who shot the Kennedys. Yeah, and I shot the sheriff, Tupac and J.R. to boot, what the fock. Yet to think that it’s possible that the course of our country was so dramatically altered because of tackle football in Dallas should show you a thing or two about history: Every action, no matter how tiny, causes a ripple in the cesspool of events. Just by blowing your nose, you could change the course of a nation in the future to come—so please, always be sure to carry a hanky ’cause I’m Art Kumbalek and I told you so.

I’m Art Kumbalek and man oh manischewitz what a world,
ain’a? So listen, the Feds released a boatload of potentially
blockbusting JFK assassination records from the National Archives just
the other week. Remember? And what did we learn? This: President John F.
Kennedy was shot to death by Lee Harvey Oswald in Dallas on Friday,
Nov. 22, 1963. Hey, thanks for the focking tip. Answered a lot of
questions I’ve been itching to know for 54 years, what the fock.
Anyways, I did some research and memory work on my own and what follows
is information you may not find in those government files.
1963: “The Beverly Hillbillies” was the top-rated TV show; A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum was Tony’s Best Musical; the Dodgers with superhuman Sandy Koufax swept the Yankees in the World Series (Pete Rose was NL Rookie of the Year); the Green Bay Packers failed to advance to the NFL title game after three successive visits ’cause Paul focking Hornung was busted for gambling; the Swingle Singers grabbed the Grammy for Best New Artist; Sonny Rollins took first in Down Beat’s Critics Poll on tenor sax; jeans were play-clothes and they were called overalls; and in the early afternoon on 11/22 of that year, you would’ve found me cooling my heels whilst bored on my ass during eighth-grade social studies class, getting the particulars on the fascinating topic of the economy of Guate-focking-mala, our Latin neighbor to the south, I kid you not.

"Fallone: Foxconn deal tips scales of justice in Wisconsin"
"Our system of justice rests upon two
pillars: equal treatment and independent judgment. Every person who
appears before our state courts expects to be treated equally to every
other litigant. In addition, all parties to a lawsuit expect to have
their cases heard by judges who are free to exercise their own
independent judgment. Recently, the state Legislature and Gov.
Scott Walker approved legislation — a $3 billion package luring Foxconn
Technology Group to build a flat-screen TV factory in Racine County —
that seriously undermines these two fundamental principles.
"The
principle of equal treatment commands that the same rules should apply
to all parties appearing before the court. No one should receive
special status. It is true that the two sides in a case might not be
evenly matched, and that one might have more financial resources or a
more skilled legal team. But, even then, both parties in the case
should be subject to the same set of laws and procedures and have the
same opportunity to argue that the law supports their claim.
"The Foxconn legislation creates special treatment for Foxconn
whenever the corporation is sued in Wisconsin courts. The law forces
the Wisconsin Supreme Court to directly take appeals involving 'Electronics and Information Technology Manufacturing Zones' (EITM) from
the circuit courts. By law there is only one such zone, and that zone
is soon to be home to Foxconn. Typically, the high court would hear
appeals at its discretion, and then only after the case was heard by an
intermediate court.
"The reason for placing cases
involving Foxconn on a 'fast-track' to the Wisconsin Supreme Court
should be obvious. That Court has a majority of Justices who were
elected with the financial support of Wisconsin’s largest trade and
manufacturing lobbyists. The drafters of the legislation expect these
justices to be sympathetic to the concerns of manufacturers such
as Foxconn."

"It was the middle-finger salute seen around the world.
"Juli
Briskman’s protest aimed at the presidential motorcade that roared past
her while she was on her cycling path in Northern Virginia late last
month became an instantly viral photo.
"Turns out it has now cost the 50-year-old marketing executive her job.
"On Halloween, after Briskman gave her bosses at Akima,
a government contracting firm, a heads-up that she was the unidentified
cyclist in the photo, they took her into a room and fired her, she
said, escorting her out of the building with a box of her things.
"'I wasn’t even at work when I did that,' Briskman said. 'But they told me I violated the code-of-conduct policy.'
"Her
bosses at Akima, who have not returned emails and calls requesting
comment, showed her the blue-highlighted Section 4.3 of the firm’s
social-media policy when they canned her."

The cure for fruit flies in the home.
Get a small bowl or container. Place some red apple cider vinegar in the bowl. Cover your bowl with plastic wrap. Add a rubber band to make it tight. Poke holes in the wrap with a pin. I poked my bowl wrap 25 times. The fruit flies fly in the holes, but not out.
It worked overnight. The kitchen is free of fruit flies for the first time in years. I have to make another trap. I grow "kitty grass" in my bedroom for Charlie. The fruit flies like to hang out in there, too.
For me, this has been an unqualified success.
"Six officers needed to subdue allegedly intoxicated man in Downtown Racine"
 |
| Jardina |
"RACINE — It reportedly took six
officers to subdue a belligerently intoxicated Racine man early Sunday
in Downtown. He faces several charges related to the incident.
"Anthony Jardina, 20, of the 3000 block of Rosalind Avenue, is charged with criminal damage to property, obstructing an officer, disorderly conduct and misdemeanor bail jumping.
"According to the criminal complaint:
"At about 2 a.m., Jardina reportedly broke beer bottles and hit parked cars in the area of Main and Fifth streets. He then lifted a city garbage container at 536 Main St. and threw it on the ground, spilling garbage on the sidewalk and causing damage to the container.
"Metro Security, a private security firm, detained Jardina at the intersection of Sixth Street and Wisconsin Avenue, as its officers reported he was acting paranoid, belligerent and was talking to himself.
"As Racine Police Department officers arrived and performed a records check, Jardina reportedly became combative with officers and began to scream and kick his legs.
"After Jardina calmed down and was placed under arrest, he again allegedly started to fight officers in an attempt to break free from restraint.
"It reportedly took six officers to subdue Jardina, due to his strength. Officers reported that they could smell a strong odor of intoxicants coming from his breath.
"Jardina was taken to the Ascension All Saints Hospital emergency room to be treated because of his erratic behavior. As he continued to act violently, Jardina was handcuffed to the bed rails for the safety of the nurses. Police had to continue to physically restrain Jardina, as he screamed and attempted to chew at the handcuffs and bed rails in efforts to free himself.
"Jardina remained in custody as of 2 p.m. Monday.
"Jardina has a pending misdemeanor case in Racine County for possession of marijuana and obstruction. He was released on June 8 on a $1,000 cash bond, with the condition that he would commit no new crime."

Things I don't miss about drinking.
"Search for missing woman continues"
"Kansasville Fire Department will also participate in the search.
"Rickard has been missing since June 25 and the family is offering a $10,000 reward for her safe return.
"According to the release, Racine Sheriff Christopher Schmaling said that 'due to the time of year, foliage is reduced, crops have been cultivated, and visibility is greater. The Sheriff’s Office remains committed to bringing closure to the family of Lynn Rickard.'
"Several large-scale searches have been conduced since Rickard’s disappearance, including areas in Kenosha County."

"Paintings by Indian elephant auctioned off in Hungary"
BUDAPEST (Reuters) - Paintings created by an Indian elephant who enjoys
wielding a brush were auctioned off by a Hungarian traveling circus on
Saturday.
A painting depicting
Sandra herself, done by a Hungarian painter, sold for 260,000 forints.
The money will be offered to an elephant sanctuary in Malaysia.
Sandra paints with her trunk purely for pleasure, according to her owner and trainer Florian Richter, a horse acrobat and circus director.
Richter said that unlike many elephants in Thailand that are thought to be forced to paint, Sandra does it by herself when she is in the mood.
Sandra arrived as a baby elephant at the circus where Richter grew up, as a seventh generation member of an acrobat family.
($1 = 267.5200 forints)

Three of 42-year-old elephant Sandra’s abstract
canvasses, with colored lines flowing across them resembling rivers,
fetched about 40,000 forints ($150) each.

Sandra, who was already well practised in a circus
trick involving a shaving brush, was given a paintbrush and she quickly
adapted her skills to the canvas.
Richter said that unlike many elephants in Thailand that are thought to be forced to paint, Sandra does it by herself when she is in the mood.
“I
only help her with changing the brushes and putting them into paints
but she does the rest by herself more or less. I praise her by saying
‘oh this is really good, or not so good’,” Richter said. “We have been
together for 40 years so this is a family connection.”

Hmm. Maybe I should see if Charlie would like to do this with his tail.

I hope you remembered to set your clocks back one hour when you went to bed last night. Otherwise, you're going to be late for everything.
