Bonkers: Germans want Change

Some quarter million Germans, and others, going to hear Senator Obama speak at the other end of the big German Arches near the Big Gate, where the German Victory (Huns maybe?) Obelisk stands, for reasons about hating President Bush, actually have changed their mind and now want their next election to be about "Change."

tnag: OOOOUCH !!!!!!

The truth hurts. What we have is an in experience group of politicians making a ton of mistakes at the expense of the Tyrone Citizens and Tyrone Employees.

TJAM: Where in the world is Don Rehwaldt?

Don Rehwaldt is missing, where did he go?
Last year to council meetings he certainly did go
Always with a tale of woe.

Buckwheat Rules: Americans, Please Don't Get Smart!

As many of you are aware, John McCain’s campaign is a total disaster – and it gets worse every day. He doesn’t know the difference between Sunni and Shia, he doesn’t “get” this economy thing everyone is on about, and he thinks Czechoslovakia still exists.

Bonkers: A Bishop for PTC?

Apparently we had one. He is retiring uncrowned, however, but staying on here as I understand it! Not too clear on that.

LauraP77: Feminazis???

To Old Simon:
I would like you to know that you just characterized a breast cancer survivor as a "feminazi" because she has short hair. As a breast cancer survivor myself, I am deeply offended. Note to you and to all those who have spread groundless, nasty rumors and inappropriate comments, I think you need to get a mint flavored foot.

Shaquita: Tyrone Sets Property Tax Rate

At a special called meeting on July 23, advertised to discuss employee insurance plans, Tyrone’s new and “open council” added to their agenda the setting of the property tax rate for 2008.

Bonkers: City Transportation

A proposal to make nine stops, I think it was, on an hour and a half run around the city, using a bus---subsidized by the city, is a loser based only on those facts!

Bonkers: Poor old Veterans Administration

They also were not in the Administration's plan concerning the "Mission Accomplished" war.
It is not easy to gear up to handle 30-40,000 seriously wounded troops---now maybe three times that many with the explosion caused brain injuries discovered.

Does anyone have an especially good or especially bad experiences with SAT preparation classes in PTC or Fayetteville? I'm interested in small classroom settings, not online courses or private tutors.

Bonkers: The German 200,000!

Ever hear of someone voting for someone they cared nothing about to keep from voting for someone they absolutely hated?

Hack, JeffC, Richard, NOTA 08 and myself are having a great time. Debate about the political process is healthy for everyone involved.

Bonkers: Comment on drive-in movie

Somebody titled a comment "golf cart drive-in movie," and when I saw it at first, I thought, OMG, Dar is at it again!

TyroneConfidential: Complaint Filed on Missing Public Funds in Tyrone

A citizen’s complaint has been filed with the Tyrone Police asking for a GBI investigation into public funds that were allegedly taken by former employees in violation of Tyrone Regulations. Ex Town Clerk Valerie Fowler Caldwell paid herself and Ex Town Mgr Barry Amos a total of $36,000 in Nov & Dec 2007 according to public records. A thorough citizens investigation shows these funds were taken in violation of the employees payment plan. Town Officials have admitted the funds were taken but have refused to investigate the legalities. Ms. Fowler-Caldwell said, ex-mayor Sheryl Lee authorized the checks for vacation pay. No one at Town Hall has bothered to ask Mayor Lee about this but the ordinances do not give the mayor nor any one else the authority to use taxpayers’ money for this kind of personal use. The complaint also alleges that the Fair Labor Standards Act was violated by paying employees straight time instead of time and a half for overtime. Some employees have asked the Town about this and got the usual put-off of “we will have to look into this”. Officials have known it’s true for months.

He is going to make sure that this guy or gal is vetted.

Bonkers: Local Taxes

After many score years this Newspaper has printed just exactly what is happening with our taxes for next year.
Instead of printing exactly what was given to them by the Tax people, The Citizen sorted it and gave us a net number!

Behind Maliki's Games
by Max Boot
Wednesday, July 23, 2008
Washington Post

There is some irony in the fact that Democrats, after years of deriding Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki as a hopeless bungler and conniving Shiite sectarian, are now treating as sacrosanct his suggestion that Iraq will be ready to assume responsibility for its own security by 2010. Naturally this is because his position seems to support that of Barack Obama.

Sick of Fascists: Adoption support groups??

I know some of you bloggers also happen to be adoptive parents. Anyone know of an adoption support group in PTC or Fayette County?
