On Janesville man will add voice to 'Zero in Wisconsin' campaign

Sandman just posted the funniest, and longest, run-on sentence ever to be posted on the Gazette blog!
"Look at the annual Tub Run and related poker runs -- oh, yeah, I know, 'But they're for charity!' Aren't they really just an (unfortunately) socially condoned way for hundreds or even thousands of bikers to get together, feel like wild ones/rebels/hard-core individualists in their Harley-endorsed and licensed clothing uniform and accessories and overly processed bleached-blonde hair, all the while pretending to be a look-at-me, bad-A biker poser while delaying traffic for everyone else who was unfortunate enough to accidentally get caught up in the silly spectacle and are thereby doomed to be an audience for them as they drive their scooters from bar to bar, celebrating 'individuality!'"

"Maybe I'm missing it but I don't see where the AAP recommends 2 years old to stay sitting backwards. I see it at at least 1 year and 20 lbs." --Ouisch Sep 15, 2009 at 10:09

I was thinking the same thing after researching the facts that were presented. The new information sounds good, but until the AAP makes any formal changes it would appear that Wisconsin laws are not outdated at this time. The law is confusing enough, why not make sure the public understands the basic law prior to confusing them more.

Some of Maxdetails other fine work:
"To respect regardless of sexual orientation makes no sense at all. Parents are on the lookout for Daniel D. Anderson right now. Daniel Anderson has a sexual orientation toward young girls, really young kills. I'm sorry GLS, I cannot value nor respect his sexual orientation. There are many other sexual orientations that I can't respect. Someone has to draw some lines somewhere."-maxdetail May 1, 2008 at 11:24 a.m.

That concontradicts his comments here. Let me get this straight max, we are haters for thinking Matthew Low received a lenient sentence for letting his desires damage these young boys, but when it comes to Daniel Anderson and the young girls, you state that you "cannot value nor respect" his tendencies? Are we supposed to refrain from being "haters" for just the one case or in general? Funny, you are the only one ever tying sexual preference to this story. I think the act and the punishment are the points of the blog.
Maybe you could take a tip from your own list of 'frustrations with these blogs'. Stay on topic, use logic, refrain from your fact-less comments, and I'll toss in one for the Gazette by saying refrain from libelous comments.
Maxdetails comments:
The frustrating aspects (to me anyway) are these:
1. The rants are totally devoid of logic. They are all emotion and bravado with little evidence to the ability to think critically on any topic.
2. The contentiousness is nearly always unwarranted. The anonymity allowed by these forums gives many folks the equivalent of 'beer muscles'. They attack from an inflated and exaggerated position of knowledge that has been neither acquired nor earned. Because there is a lack or critical thinking and logic, the writer makes personal attacks against those he or she disagrees with.

While I am at it, you could also remove your anonymity so that I can go to bed at night knowing you are not living in my neighborhood.

You said what you said maxdetail. Remember to cover yourself for your libelous comments by stating it is only your opinion. You of all people should read what you have written in the past. Your comments regarding acceptance should be a cause of restraint in your quick labeling of this man's sexuality based on seemingly limited knowledge. Regardless of what he did, you have no idea as to his preference. I doubt anyone really cares what he likes. Most of what I have read here has been negative toward this guy, but only you crossed the line to label him. Funny thing is, I think what he did is wrong, but I am equally alarmed having you in my community after the statement directly above "Why must people be such haters, we should live and let live." I will leave it at that as I would guess the parents of the young children will find your comment quite offensive also.
On Senate to review e-mail policies after suit

Local city counsel members know better than that. Come on! Maybe they are not fit for the position. If they did not know it when prior to running for office, and were not told in orientations to the new position, then they surely watched the Sarah Palin's e-mail scandal unfold on national TV around election time. Call the Proctologist, a couple of heads are stuck!

The District Attorney is the one that bargains the crime down. Either he is unable to gain a conviction on the original charge due to being too lazy, not having enough evidence, or being overworked based on caseload. For the charges to be filed and taken that far they had the evidence. Problems with the evidence can range from mishandling, tampering, improper collection, degradation, or many other factors. This is unlikely though. The reason for most reductions is from the dealing of the DA entering into a plea deal. The DA gains a conviction, or a "win". The DA will give a drawn out explanation they only have so much time and they are saving tax money with an quick settlement, but despite all of the recent plea deals the State DA's Assoc. still claims to be overworked and underpaid. How do their deals save them time, or us money? The only thing I can see it does well is make them look good at election time and me feel less safe at the convicts early release time.
They do that to obtain an easy conviction in a trade off for time and tax payer money. When election time comes comes around no one remembers any one specific case, but the DA will tout his conviction record to sound like he was successful and should be re-elected. Remember that at election time. Remember how many times you see cases like this, or drunk driving cases with multiple past convictions get off seemingly easy. Remember that when the DA refuses to file charges on a male in a domestic after he tears apart his own home with a baseball bat in a violent rage attempting to intimidate his wife while in the midst of an argument. Despite the past domestic violence charges, the man was released from jail the following day with the DA citing the legal right to destroy your own property. Somehow the State's District Attorneys have blurred the lines between taking the appropriate steps to reduce crime and taking the easy way out to save face for the next election. The plea deals and bargaining that goes on is a joke. If you want change, then you need to demand more and hold them to their decisions at election time. The State's DA Assoc. has been trying to increase the number of assistants as well as the pay for the DA's. I think they need to earn what they make now before they ask for more.

Odd considering if you type the words natural gas rates in google you find that all entries will say they are expected to be down as much as 9-16% this year. The majority of the day old entries are about power companies decreasing rates with one exception; Wisconsin.
What is wrong with this picture?
