My family and I will just Stick to the Established Clinton Pizza Places: Happy Joes, Mama Ciminos, Rastrelli’s, Papa Johns, Godfathers, Vitale Joes, Moe’s and, even- Paul Revere’s in Camanche, Manny’s and Paddle Wheel in Fulton.

I see that folks are chiming-in over at Martha…
Truthiness only, please!
After a long year-plus, Our Clinton Humane Society is, once again, controlled by great people More Concerned about the welfare of helpless animals than their own pathetic egos.
I still Firmly believe there was a lot of BS going-on with the old “corporation”… and I (and others) Will be doing some more investigative research into the dealings of the Ex-Administrator (who was bought-out of her Ridiculous Contract that bought her Silence before last year’s turmoils got rough) and WHY and HOW She EVER got the job in the first place… and what she EVER Did to deserve a Raise and a contract after, only, six months of accomplishing… NOTHING.
It pains me to hear how much JOY was being had whenever homeless animals were euthanized… by a drunken wench AND this EX-Good for nothing “boss”.
Does it make the citizens feel any better knowing that this drug and alcohol abuser Actually WORKS for a LOCAL VET?!
Hopefully- the gentleman- who’s dog was Killed by the Shelter… then- was told it was adopted when he came to Pick-Up his baby… found a Good Lawyer!
I am Sickened by what was allowed to happen at the hands of a scrupulous EX-Board of “Directors”… It was a Horrible Period for Animals In-Need, indeed.
At least- that’s What I think.
Connor Anderson recently announced his candidacy for At-Large Councilman of our city.
I only wish more “average” folks got involved with the whole process of government- when you consider WHO, Most, is supposed to be represented by those elected.
It’s a shame to see that the dumbing-down of America is working So Well. The Mass Media continues to spew the scripts of the Greedy, Corrupt Power Mongers… and the vast majority All suffers… somehow. Go Connor - GO!
It certainly is Refreshing to see that there is a NORMAL JOE Willing to Run for mayor of our little City!
Now- if only the Normal Majority of citizens can, please, take note.
The entire USA is quickly becoming the Obloquy of the World… thanks to Greed, Corruption, and the New Idea that Lying through your teeth is A-Okay these days. And- it’s safe to say that these evile traits begin even at, yes, the most basic burghs in the land (Thanks to a Monopolistic Press, etc).
The true, sad Idea of this cesspool is that those responsible for this Decline-of-a-Nation represent the Smallest percentage of the citizenry imaginable.
Run, Josh, Run!

Congratulations to our Senator from Iowa!
Tom Harkin has become the FIRST Senator to Join Russ Feingold’s (D-WI) move to Censure ‘preznit’ bush for (admittedly) illegally wiretapping American Citizens in yet, another, of his stunts to shred Our Constitution.
While ALL of the Other Democrats Cower in Fear of the republican Thugs… and the Repuglicans Goose-Step this Important, Serious Issue… OUR Senator has taken his first big step to distance himself from the army of Enablers the bush mob has somehow managed to steer into the corral.
Thanks Tom!
Added: 4/6/06: Senator Harkin HAS A PETITION you can sign to support him….
March 28, 2006 :: Update
OOOPS… Once again… We Stand Corrected. This human Sack of Bile WAS, INDEED, Busted down in the QC for writing $24,000 in bad paper. $2600 got him Bailed-Out.
Sounds like a local Apartment complex in Clinton Really will have him by his teeny-tiny balls… as he porked them out of 16 grand!
If there was a god… his wife would leave him and changer her name ASAP!
====================
March 27, 2006 :: Update
Contrary to Rumors a’ Flying… This Lying Thief is NOT in Jail for writing “$97,000 in Bad Checks!”
So- There is No Reason to Not, Still, Hunt-Him-Down if you have an “issue” with him.
Please feel free to share YOUR Horror stories with us concerning this Piss Poor waste of our oxygen!
====================
Feb. 24, 2006
This guy’s STILL Bouncing Checks (while stalling a BBB Investigation with frivilous emails)!
====================
String Started HERE in Mid January:
A local Shyster: ALLIED HOME IMPROVEMENT… being run (down) by some hack is, apparently, Going to Hell… “Robbing Peter to Pay Pal”… and…Leaving Known Pre-Paid Suckers with Work Not Finished… and causing a Lien to be placed against the Homeowners for monies due to creditors (non-paid dumpster - Bad Check)
This Misfit is Still, (apparently) taking orders (and making “contracts”) from any sap that falls for his never ending fetid stream of verbal diarrhea
He has even Lied to the investigating Police Officer.
Of Course… the “Owner” of this Local “Business” has Every Right to address these Legitimate accusations right here…..
BEWARE of this Clown!
============
ADDENDUM 01/13/06
Word has it that this Slug HAS had at Least One Police Report filed against him and his Sham business.
He has “Let Go” of his workers (who will do all the promised work now?)
===========================================================
UPDATE (2/3/06):
For a Guy who can’t seem to get ANYTHING Done (Like Return a Phone Call) - he seems to have an Awful Lot of MEETINGS… probably with his Shyster.
===========================================================
MORE BS (2/8/06)
So… this Mope waits until the Last Day Possible to reply to a Better Business Complaint? It must have taken him that long to concoct another Tub of Excrement in which to achieve the Illusion that he’s a “Straight Arrow” of the Clinton Business Community. HaHaHa… right….
Seems that the Stalling (between “meetings’) just Never Stops. BEWARE!
=========================
The Stench Keeps Flowing (2/22/06)
Apparently… the Truth really gets this Master of Spin into some kind of rabid Frenzy.
He calls it “defamation of character” and “slander”. well… maybe if the alleged Facts are false… Maybe.
This guy RELIES on mountains of BS and “receipts” to delay his demise. He responds to each complaint with a personal gripe. No Facts… just time-killing jibber-jabber.
If, indeed, he Does have an “attorney” representing him… we will be sure to report the tactics used by HIM to spin a clown out of a well-deserved embarrasing pickle.
A little time on the stand- Under OATH may shake him from his little dream world, where he has (somehow) managed to remain insulated from well deserved scrutiny.
Stay tuned for the next Episode of “Reality comes a’ Knockin’”
Again- I must drive down to the QCA to see a movie.
Apparently- the Over-Seers of the Eight Screen movie theater in Clinton feels it quite unecessary to show either Artsy or Topic-Savvy movies to our well dumbed-Down community.
The movie fan had to motor-down to 53rd Street to see “A History of Violence“…. and, Now- we have to plow our way down yonder to see “Syriana“!?
Can we even Guess about “Memoirs of a Geisha“?
I guess it makes one wonder Who’s to Blame for these “choices” made for us yokels, eh?
Sad Update: July 28, 2006:
Barb’s is closing as of Saturday July 26th (3pm)…. a victim of Greedy, Lying Slumlords. I’m too mad at assholes like this to go-on….
——————————————————————-
Okay, now… My mind’s made-up… No arguments, please.
The Bestest Breakfast in the town of Clinton will be found (and consumed) at BARB’S PLACE on 6th Avenue South… the old Maude’s location.
I have yet to experience a “bad breakfast” there. The food is always well prepared, served hot by decent wait-persons, and very, VERY Affordable. Their Whole Wheat Toast puts all others To-Shame!
Feel Free to Chime-In on this one… Thanks!
Did you know.…
1. 80% of all votes in America are counted by only two companies: Diebold and ES&S.
2. There is no federal agency with regulatory authority or oversight of the U.S. voting machine industry.
3. The vice-president of Diebold and the president of ES&S are brothers.
4. The chairman and CEO of Diebold is a major Bush campaign organizer and donor who wrote in 2003 that he was “committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president next year.”
5. Republican Senator Chuck Hagel used to be chairman of ES&S. He became Senator based on votes counted by ES&S machines.
6. Republican Senator Chuck Hagel, long-connected with the Bush Crime family, was recently caught lying about his ownership of ES&S by the Senate Ethics Committee.
7. Senator Chuck Hagel was on a short list of George W. Bush’s vice-presidential candidates.
8. ES&S is the largest voting machine manufacturer in the U.S. and counts almost 60% of all U.S. votes.
9. Diebold’s new touch screen voting machines have no paper trail of any votes. In other words, there is no way to verify that the data coming out of the machine is the same as what was legitimately put in by voters.
10. Diebold also makes ATMs, checkout scanners, and ticket machines, all of which log each transaction and can generate a paper trail.
11. Diebold is based in Ohio.
12. Diebold employed 5 convicted felons as consultants and developers to help write the central compiler computer code that counted 50% of the votes in 30 states.
13. Jeff Dean was Senior Vice-President of Global Election Systems when it was bought by Diebold. Even though he had been convicted of 23 counts of felony theft in the first degree, Jeff Dean was retained as a consultant by Diebold and was largely responsible for programming the optical scanning software now used in most of the United States.
14. Diebold consultant Jeff Dean was convicted of planting back doors in his software and using a “high degree of sophistication” to evade detection over a period of 2 years.
15. None of the international election observers were allowed in the polls in Ohio.
16. California banned the use of Diebold machines because the security was so bad. Despite Diebold’s claims that the audit logs could not be hacked, a chimpanzee was able to do it
17. 30% of all U.S. votes are carried out on unverifiable touch screen voting machines with no paper trail.
18. All — not some — but allof the voting machine errors detected and reported in Florida went in favor of Bush or Republican candidates.
19. The governor of the state of Florida, Jeb Bush, is the President’s brother.
20. Serious voting anomalies in Florida — again always favoring Bush — have been mathematically demonstrated and experts are recommending further investigation.

Original Post- 10/21/05
Why do we put-up with the Conspirators who operate the gas stations in this town?
Gas averages $2.52 per gallon here… Last Night - we filled up in Preston for $2.28 p/g!
Yet… you can run out to Ames and get your fuel, today, for $2.05 a gallon!
—————————————————————————
So- we come to the Mayonnaise Analogy:
A man eats two eggs each morning for breakfast. When he goes to the grocery store he pays 60 cents a dozen. Since a dozen eggs won’t last a week he normally buys two dozens at a time.
One day while buying eggs he notices that the price has risen to 72 cents. The next time he buys groceries, eggs are .76 cents a dozen.
When asked to explain the price of eggs the store owner says: “The price has gone up and I have to raise my price accordingly. This store buys 100 dozen eggs a day. I checked around for a better price and all the distributors have raised their prices. The distributors have begun to buy from the huge egg farms. The small egg farms have been driven out of business. The huge egg farms sells 100,000 dozen eggs a day to distributors. With no competition, they can set the price as they see fit. The distributors then have to raise their prices to the grocery stores. And on and on and on.”
As the man kept buying eggs the price kept going up. He saw the big egg trucks delivering 100 dozen eggs each day. Nothing changed there.
He checked out the huge egg farms and found they were selling 100,000 dozen eggs to the distributors daily. Nothing had changed but the price of eggs.
Then the week before Thanksgiving the price of eggs shot up to $1.00 a dozen. Again he asked the grocery owner why and was told: “Cakes and baking for the holidays. The huge egg farmers know there will be a lot of baking going on and more eggs will be used. Hence, the price of eggs goes up. Expect the same thing at Christmas and other times when family cooking and baking happen.”
This pattern continues until the price of eggs is 2.00 a dozen. The man says, “There must be something we can do about the price of eggs.”
He starts talking to all the people in his town and they decide to stop buying eggs. This didn’t work because everyone needed eggs. Finally, the man suggested only buying what you need. He ate 2 eggs a day. On the way home from work he would stop at the grocery and buy two eggs. Everyone in town started buying 2 or 3 eggs a day.
The grocery store owner began complaining that he had too many eggs in his cooler. He told the distributor that he didn’t need any eggs. Maybe wouldn’t need any all week. The distributor had eggs piling up at his warehouse. He told the huge egg farms that he didn’t have any room for eggs would not need any for at least two weeks.
At the egg farm, the chickens just kept on laying eggs.
To relieve the pressure, the huge egg farm told the distributor that they could buy the eggs at a lower price. The distributor said, “Don’t have the room for the eggs even if they were free.”
The distributor told the grocery store owner that he would lower the price of the eggs if the store would start buying again.
The grocery store owner said, “I don’t have room for more eggs. The customers are only buy 2 or 3 eggs at a time. Now if you were to drop the price of eggs back down to the original price, the customers would start buying by the dozen again.”
The distributors sent that proposal to the huge egg farmers. They liked the price they were getting for their eggs but, them chickens just kept on laying. Finally, the egg farmers lowered the price of their eggs. But only a few cents. The customers still bought 2 or 3 eggs at a time. They said, “When the price of eggs gets down to where it was before we will start buying by the dozen.”
Slowly the price of eggs started dropping. The distributors had to slash their prices to make room for the eggs coming from the egg farmers. The egg farmers cut their prices because the distributors wouldn’t buy at a higher price than they were selling eggs for. Anyway, they had full warehouses and wouldn’t need eggs for quite a while.
And them chickens kept on laying.
Eventually, the egg farmers cut their prices because they were throwing away eggs they couldn’t sell. The distributors started buying again because the eggs were priced to where the stores could afford to sell them at the lower price. And the customers starting buying by the dozen again.
Now, transpose this analogy to the gasoline industry. What if everyone only bought $10.00 worth of gas each time they pulled to the pump? The dealers tanks would stay semi full all the time. The dealers wouldn’t have room for the gas coming from the huge tank farms. The tank farms wouldn’t have room for the gas coming from the refining plants. And the refining plants wouldn’t have room for the oil being off loaded from the huge tankers coming from the Middle East.
Just $10.00 each time you buy gas. Don’t fill it up. You may have to stop for gas twice a week but, the price should come down. Think about it.
As an added note… When I buy $10.00 worth of gas, that leaves my tank a little under half full. The way prices are jumping around, you can buy gas for $2.65 a gallon and then the next morning it can be $2.15. If you have your tank full of $2.65 gas you don’t have room for the $2.15 gas.
You might not understand the economics of only buying two eggs at a time but, you can’t buy cheaper gas if your tank is full of the high priced stuff!
