Oy the stppid burns... local news cast
we are getting rain, one of our on ramps is full of water... CALTRANS will charge the city once again to get it going. The city don't have money for the repairs.

So lady on the TEEVVEE... I cannot understand why they city cannot get it's act together and fix it once and for all.

I am betting that she also voted against the initiative that would have given the city some more funds...

Taxes= city services... nope, can't make that connection.

1. The lady on teevee probably doesn't understand why she can't put her left shoe on her right foot....

...... Local TV newspeople across the country share one brain cell, and it's defective.

13. The news anchors here in Fargo are pretty good, fortunately.
One of our anchors, a wonderful gal named Robin Hubner, does a lot of good stuff on health topics.

The dumb asses can't see the connection between taxes and infrastructure...

Get ready for the whine fest over the next two years...

6. Americans have short memories don't they?
I agree with you but there will be catastrophic events due to the voting in this last election. They will not truely understand that there are unintended consequences to decisons made with knee jerk reactions and not clear heads.

8. San Diego is a particularly stupid corner of California...
where a majority will always vote to kill any money to improve services, then bitch until they itch when things like ramps get flooded because there is no money to fix or fires run out of control because they do not fund fire protection.

I am San Diegan, so this isn't an attack on California.

10. If you redefine PARADISE to be an island in Cocytus...
you could use that word.

I wouldn't say we are a full blown libertarian paradise, but we are moving in that direction.

11. The majority of people are incapable of generazing daily life to the Big Picture.
it is not unusual for a person of average intelligence to complain about funding cuts, then 5 minutes later complain about taxes.

remember, half of people have an IQ below 100.

14. True, but the cognitive deficiency makes the propaganda effective.
