It is not a time when Terry can play with us and hope for the best. It is a time of action.

Terry sent him off to keep him busy and continue to embarass the republicans and he is doing a great job.

The CVHS does not want to merge or join alliance with the city, they just want their $60,000 a year in service fee from the county. The Kirkwood option seems very viable to me and obviously to the Public Health Department. But a county supervisor publicly disagrees so in limbo we will stay.

I agree Tim, this is all about politics and little about the health of our banking industry and chickens.

Not to mention that as long as they fill the stadium they can get all rightous with a bunch of new unenforceable tailgating rules, but if the crowd really dies down, I'm sure you will see them back down.

I was just afraid you should have posted the meaning of the word satire. Anyway, thanks for the laugh.

Someone recently told me that the Lee Muldoon plea deal was totally Obama's fault. That is a hallucination.

Nooo, Was it a Retriever, Noooo. There is a picture in the Gazette this morning, it is a cute little fluffy dog named Margo, having a Lassie moment. Great job Margo!

I was shocked that they would play it and then give it press! It is even worse than the hate campaign they were running against Culver last year. Despicable.

And where else is it coming from? Perhaps the Republican Governors Association wanting to throw VDP a bone to keep him too busy to run against Terry? Interesting politics for someone (VDP) claiming a higher moral authority than the rest of us.

Often you can rescue an older dog from a shelter or breed rescue and know that it is healthy. Yes, pets, as do children, incur some expenses. If a rescue would take the dog and pay for the surgery that you cannot, wouldn't you want that for the dog? And if you won't go into debt to help this dog you are so fond of, what will you go into debt for? Good luck in resolving the situation.

This is why politicians get such a bad name. I'm sure VDP agreed because he figured he would win, but still. Say one thing and do another.
