IS IT TRUE? June 7, 2011
IS IT TRUE if political candidates for public office don’t pay their advertising bills in a timely manner this should tell the potential voters something?
IS IT TRUE when the 5th Ward City Councilman and Budget Chairmen John Friend, CPA called John Kish many times during the last couple of weeks and doesn’t hear from him there is something wrong in RIVER CITY? …we can’t wait for the upcoming City of Evansville budget hearings to begin? …we respectfully suggest that Mr. Kish better be ready to answer pointed financial questions posed by the City Council Dean of Accountancy, John Friend, CPA at the upcoming City of Evansville Budget hearings? …don’t be surprised to that City Council members Dan McGinn, Esq. of the 1st Ward and Dr. Dan Adams, At Large member have additional in depth questions about the Arena and proposed downtown Hotel that they want Mr. Kish to answer also?
IS IT TRUE we have received a few interesting comments we made today praising our 2nd Ward City Councilwoman for her outstanding way of campaigning? …we not only stand by our statement but would like to add if the election was held today Missy Mosby would be re-elected as the 2nd Ward City Council member? …we know that E L Walters shall make an extremely competitive race between himself and Missy?
IS IT TRUE that Lambert’s Café in Sikeston, Missouri has built a chain of restaurants by playing on a local colloquialism of the past tense of the word throw?…that the THROWED ROLLS that are served at Lambert’s are pretty tasty?…that once in a cross country drive after eating a Lambert’s that my 8 year old son commented that “they threw those THROWED ROLLS at us every time we held our hand upâ€?…that to the astonishment of many pairs of ears last night on the 10 o’clock news a local news anchor used the term THROWED as the past tense of THROW?…that some professions really do require that words like THROWED and terms like “I SEEN IT†to be left at home?…that an aspiring young news guy should have been trained not to use the word THROWED?…that today he and his employer shall remain nameless but that if this becomes a habit that we shall call him out by name?…that the City of Evansville is struggling with a reputation for being fat and that we do not need to add dumb to that list?
IS IT TRUE that Congressman Anthony Weiner who has expressed long term aspirations to become the Mayor of New York City has become the latest high profile member of congress to succumb to the siren’s tweet?…that it seems like social networking has become the crack cocaine of the US Congress?…that people who thrive on collecting “like†clicks and on the adoration of unknown people are not adjusting very well to having unlimited access to the general public?…that the need to be adored does not mix well with social media and that people who gravitate to politics are Type A personalities in the category of “need to be adoredâ€?…that it is really a shame to see a bright and courageous young congressman like Anthony Weiner throw his congressional mojo away for the thrill of tweeting some inappropriate pictures?…that we hope that Congressman Weiner gets his mojo back and returns to his well known aggressive pursuit of progressive policies?…that whether you agree with him or not, his style and passion will test your theories and make your own positions better and stronger?…that the continual stream of losing congressmen that can’t handle social media is disturbing?…that if the same litmus test was applied locally that scores of elected officials may be caught in the same trap?
IS IT TRUE that a limerick crossed our mind yesterday and that it is dedicated IN THE SPIRIT OF FUN to Congressman Anthony Weiner?…that the following limerick assumes that the Democratic leadership of the US House of Representative will find a way to make Congressman Weiner resign?…that will be a mistake and that many of the hounds howling for his head have done worse things than tweet something stupid?
There once was a Congressman named Weiner
Whose persona could not have been meaner
He sent out a tweet to a cute little vixen
Then lied like Clinton and Nixon
In the spirit of fun, I’m confused when you say “Lied like Clinton and Nixon”
Are you referring to Mrs. Clinton – Vast right-wing conspiracy?
Or Mr. Clinton – I did not have sexual relations, with that woman, Mrs. Lewinsky?
Weiner lied like both, didn’t he? 😉
I was thinking of Bill when making up the limerick but you may think of whichever Clinton you like. The shoe fits them both.
I’ve never been able to “wrap my head” around the fascination of posting personal information on the internet for the world to view, there’s not a day that goes by that you can’t read a story about someone who lost their life, job, home, friend, etc because of a tweet or facebook, myspace posting, while personal responsibility is at a all time low divulging personal information couldn’t be more popular.
“IS IT TRUE that Congressman Anthony Weiner…………..”

Let us face the facts here people: Bill Clinton rewrote the book on what a politician can get away with regarding sexual escapades.
When it is discovered that the married President of The United States is receiving oral sex from an intern in the oval office on the taxpayers dime, and he is allowed to keep his job, well it is going to be hard for anyone to top that.
The public has brought all of this on itself by not doing the right thing in the first place by kicking Clinton’s sorry butt to the street.
How can you make an example of one of these minor transgressors after giving Bill Clinton a pass? The man should be a joke, shunned everywhere he goes, not enjoying his current status.
The only thing Clinton rewrote, is how to justify shameless behavior via Republican boogie men.
Now that Weiner had to formally apologize to the alleged Republican boogie man (Breitbart) – he is toast.

No doubt, Clinton wrote the book on how to manufacture a boogie man scapegoat, and how to leverage left wing progressive press to your advantage.
An example locally, David Dunn, under fire at CVB. Turns his participation in the irresponsible spending on booze into a Marsha Abell, “Witch Hunt”! The local paper agrees, somehow, that an official asking questions about board spending behavior could possibly be labeled a “Witch Hunt”! (http://www.courierpress.com/news/2011/jan/09/no-headline—09a0xmizell-col/) If you follow that “logic”, Friend better be careful asking Kish questions because it could be considered by some as a “Witch Hunt”!
Is it true that Republican candidate for 2nd Ward City Council remarked at a neighborhood association meeting last week something to the extent that he wished he was running on the Rick Davis ticket rather than on the Lloyd Winnecke ticket? Is it true that if Walters prefers Team Rick to the team he signed on with, then his actions and statements seems to indicate that either both Rick and Walters are Tea Party brothers, or that Team Rick has recruited Walters to continue the vendetta against all things Mosby?
