On Lewis Wallisch, last of the Janesville 99 dies
Posted on October 8 at 10:37 p.m. ( Suggest removal )
Mr. Wallisch, I was privileged to talk with you many years ago. You went through hell for me before I was even born. Whenever I thought of you I was humbled and also frustrated because there is no way for me to repay you. I will always be grateful to you and your fellow veterans. I know how you continued to struggle after the war but I know that now you have finally found the peace that you deserve. May God bless you and your family.
On Parents, board question if Chinese program should be mandatory

Anyone who speaks more than one language has an advantage over everyone who doesn't. Those who think that learning Chinese is some sort of evil thing are fools. Like it or not Chinese is an increasingly important language in the world.
On Student safety trumped Obama speech

Objecting to the president's address is just another vile attempt to trash a Democrat. The Republican party, once a decent and honorable organization, has been taken over by hateful and vile zealots who are so pathetically self righteous that they feel justified in doing and saying anything to cast a Democrat in a bad light. Truth is insignificant to them. They are control freaks who can't tolerate not being in control. Decent citizens need to take the Republican party back so that we can have a more respectable political scene.

I have no doubt that Tom Evert knew about this. Its just another example of something that he SHOULD have been telling the school board about, but he didn't because, well, it wouldn't make him look good. And, in his way of thinking it was none of their business anyway.
On Former Janesville City Councilman to run for Congressional seat

Soooooo, 3 little weeks before the election Greg Addie thinks of himself as a public hero, riding to the rescue because he "heard" about the government's rescue plan. If he thinks that anybody will gain from his candidacy he's even more delusional that I thought.

On Vechinsky leaves school board
Posted on June 11 at 5:14 p.m. ( Suggest removal )
Vechinsky said he didn't like the way some board members were questioning the administration and that he didn't like Tom Evert's integrity to be questioned. That attitude sums up one of the biggest problems in the district for many years - the board sees itself as the promotional arm of the administration. But that is absolutely not the function of the school board. They have every right to question the administration and we should always expect them to do that. They can do this and still be respectful. But the purpose of an elected school board is NOT to rah-rah for the administration. The purpose of a school board is to keep watch and question and we haven't had that happening in Janesville for many years. Goodbye Mr. Vechinsky. You put the administration above the students. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Briarmoon's sad little mind can't accept any rule that she did not make. Nor can she fathom a world where she doesn't make all the rules. I can't decide if she's delusional as others here have said or if she is just a vicious person who's hobby it is to cause problems and harm to others.

On Briarmoon ticketed at foreclosure sale
Posted on October 24 at 8:17 p.m. ( Suggest removal )
Anyone who backs Briarmoon doesn't know her well at all. She is a vindictive manipulative woman who enjoys the spotlight. And over the years she has also demonstrated a monstrous persecution complex. The city has gone way overboard trying to reason with her on so many issues, but she keeps intentionally ignoring each and every request and order to do things right. She has absolutely no respect for any rule that she did not make, including court orders. Yes, foreclosure is hard, but having watched past Briarmoon shenanigans very closely I have no doubt that she was given every possible chance to avoid it, but she chose to avoid it just for the fun of yanking the public chain.
