It’s actually getting comical, reading the breathless scare stories about the shut-down. As if there were no way to handle these calamities:
No State Troopers! Oh, gee, that would suck. Those guys don’t do any real law enforcement anyway, Sheriff’s Deputies do. I recall a judge once aptly described the State Patrol as the grown-up version of high school hall monitors handing out notes saying “No Running!” Lay-off Hell, abolish ‘em completely.
A cop friend of mine calls them “collection agents for the insurance industry”.
No Zoo! Nobody to feed the animals at the zoo! We have a perfectly good zoo, at Como Park. Give away the animals to other zoos out of state, lay off all the zookeepers, shutter the facility, sell it to a developer for large lot hobby farms.
Tired of seeing all those stupid TV “news” segments full of people whinging about not being able to go jogging at Afton?
No camping at State Parks! So? Since when is your vacation choice my responsibility? Nobody paid for my motel room, when I was on vacation. Go to the KOA campground, if you must camp.
For that matter, screw the gates. I paid for that state park. I’m going there, closure or not.
Have to let all the Prisoners go! Ship ‘em elsewhere, promise to pay later. Everybody knows there eventually will be money and if there isn’t, then yeah, let ‘em go. What do you think happens when the government falls, as during the Civil War? We’re not to that stage just yet; but if the governor continues to play chicken, holding everyone hostage until he gets his tax increases, then maybe we see how bad things will get.
If the governor can’t run the government, then why have one?
The “people” voted (sometimes two and three times) for a guy that we warned you could not possibly run a viable government. We were right.
No city or county internet! Apparently, they’re on a contract to buy services from the state. Might want to shop around for an alternate provider, huh?
These problems can be solved. All it takes is gumption.
So let’s have gumption.
Hang on to your hats, people! I think that the GOP is gonna cave!
I called Geoff Michel, Kurt Zellers and Amy Koch last night and told them succinctly; “Don’t you DARE cave in to Mad Mark! He’s scrambling and his minions are starting to turn on him, so stay the course.”
Everyone needs to do so today! If you are fortunate enough to be represented by a staunch conservative GOP member, call ’em today and give them some encouragement!
No zoos? They’d love that in San Francisco.
I suspect we may see another steaming Dog pile over this remark: The “people” voted (sometimes two and three times).
No camping at State Parks!
If you’re in the cities there’s no reason to not head to cheesehead land to get your camping fix. I think Walker and company could use the support.
Any word on whether Governor Psychosis got his communication staff declared critical like he desired? I haven’t heard about that part yet.
Kermit Says: “No zoos? They’d love that in San Francisco.”
I’m thinking the whole city of SF would qualify as a zoo.
“I suspect we may see another steaming Dog pile over this remark: The “people” voted (sometimes two and three times).”
I blew a stitch on that on one, Thanks Kermit!
Who exactly is this “Joe Doakes” anyway and why does he blog by proxy through you? Maybe someone can show him how to set up a Blogger account…?
Why do you care, Timmy? Berg has hundreds of friends and associates, so of which actually correspond with him. Joe isn’t “blog(ing) by proxy”, he’s expressing his opinion.
I know that really ticks you libs off, but for the time being we still have freedom of speech and association. Get your Mao on and try to track this eeevil thought criminal down. Maybe you can get Spotty over at Cucking Fool on the job. He’s a real pro at hatchet jobs.
Liberal Debate 101 by young Timmy. If you can’t defeat the message, defeat the messenger. Alinksy would be proud.
“Who exactly is this “Joe Doakes” anyway ….” I actually met him once, at a golf tourney run by Learned Foot long ago. Terrible golfer, poorly educated, loud, opinionated and a lousy tipper.
Just your kind of guy, Tim. You two should meet for coffee at Ginkos.
Tim In Saint Peter,
Joe Doakes is a Saint Paul resident and government employee. He emails me stuff. I’m happy that he does; he sends me great stuff.
Kermit Says: “Berg has hundreds of friends and associates”
Scott also raises his hand!!!
“Terrible golfer, poorly educated, loud, opinionated and a lousy tipper.”
I’m sure that’ll be my epitaph…except the tipping part.
