Bugs you better get well soon, I am getting to like this being in charge thing……
OK so Muppet Mike promised we would know all about the new stadium after he talked with the NCAA. He held a little press conference yesterday in Hoosierville where once again his lips moved but Mayor Landow must have lost his voice because nothing came out.
Now another press conference is scheduled for 2 p.m. totally screwing up Judge Judy. Word is Muppet Mike is going after the KENO money thus screwing the county out of their cut and costing us more in county property taxes. I thought 3 card Monty was illegal? Fahey is starting to remind me of the Governor in the movie “Best Little Whorehouse in Texas”…..ooooooooo I love to dance a little side step……
And while were talking about the Governor, he signed into law the Statewide Smoking ban which goes into effect a year from June. No doubt this makes a bunch of folks happy however don’t bitch when say a year and a month from now people start crying about lost revenue to Iowa.
Mayor I wouldn’t get to comfortable with the KENO funds at this point as the State just gave 26% of the population another reason to gamble across the state line.
And the Old Market will be so much more attractive with the smokers standing outside every bar on the sidewalk like what happens in Lincoln. Oh and I am a non-smoker before you start on that.
Mark Walsh and the GASP Gestapo are said to be happy with the law and are now going after regulations for Apartment and Condo residents. One at a time people, next it will be your own home.
The 49 year old mom accused of photo-shopping her teenage daughters pics on nude bodies then posting them on the Internet has plead not-guilty. The girl found the pice when she goggled her name back in 2006 and discovered them as well as pics of her mom in sex acts with her step dad and other men. They showed mom on the news last night…..who the hell was looking at these pics in the first place yeeeeeuuuuuuccckkkkkk. Post a pic of Sara Evans naked I might look, but to old for prime time Twila, that would be nasty.
Investigators say the mom contacted the web site administrator back in 2006 and claimed the girl was 20. The first pics posted were back in 2003.
And while we are on the sicko subject, Thomas Gellatly pleaded not guilty as well to child porn charges. Police acting on a tip from Germany traced emails connected to child porn to Gellatly’s home address. His trial will be April 14th.
Add this guy to candidates for Father Fuck-up of the year. A Grand Island man was arrested 4 times in 5 weeks for DUI. One time while his baby was in the car with him and another when he left the baby at home, alone…To bad we don’t have co-ed prison or him and Alyssia Harrger could hook up.
A 48 year old woman was dragged 20 feet after her car was jacked in a parking lot near 132nd and West Dodge. The car was equipped with On-Star and was located at 120th and Blondo a short time later. The woman was reported to be ok. I wonder if the On-Star person came on the speaker and started talking shit to the carjacker. “We got you, your going North on 132nd asshole….were gonna get you…” Hopefully the guy was hearing voices in his head already and freaked.
That’s it for this morning, Ill stop in the Q & A and see if the kiddies are still debating then it’s of to silent slumber.
Play nice today

I find it interesting that our state legislators feel that local control is bad where smoking is concerned, but local control is good where concealed carry can be regulated? Talk about speaking out of both sides of your mouth!

But it is a Health Issue or at least that is what we are told.
Wonder if this is history repeating itself and someone will reopen the depot as a smoker friendly bar in CB.
I want someone to start a perfume ban.
Jeff Koterba’s Editorial cartoon in yesterday World Herald hit the nail on the head. Remember prohibition? If we continue to push tobacco and tax it obscenly your are going to create and underground enviornment for it. Don’t believe me, ask someone who works in the prison system what the number one item of contraband is these days. Smokes.
Before long we will have no knock search warrants issues for Camel’s.
I loved this question we got in an email yesterday, “When’s the last time someone saw Mark Walsh out clubing?”

Perfume ban, yes. And SUVs-that-never-change-their-oil ban. And fish-cooking-in-apartments ban.
Health reasons, really? Then ban booze. And fatty foods. And sugar. And really good TV that makes me sit around all night.
Ugh.

Ban booze? We tried that and it worked out well….for Al Capone and his friends.
I wish the state would stop trying to save me from me. You wanna save some lives, take the triple whopper off the menu.
It is feel good legislation.

What really good TV late night? Crap I could use some entertainment…. get me a triple bacon deluxe burger covered with peppers, a bag of ruffles and a “diet” Coke, and I am ready to go.

Let’s ban bans!
Comment by db — February 27, 2008 @ 11:05 am
Wow talk about your ultimate definitive statement. We forever ban, prohibit, outlaw anything that would ban, prohibit, outlaw anything. Maybe we could get Ernie to help us with the verbage.

You call it feelgood legislation, we call it the “clean living campaign”… They don’t want us to smoke, drink, or wear miniskirts on airplanes.
I wore a t-shirt that said “Jesus hates me” in a public park last summer. A mother approached me and asked me not to wear it there anymore because her kids played there…

I wore a miniskirt on a plane once… they asked me to put the speedo back on. It was superhero pledge week.
