Thankfully he didn't try to shoot the officer...


On Ryan calls for unity among Republicans

Excuse me, "government money to private corporations a la his Social Security "reform."" That would be MY money the government TAKES from me and redistributes to others. What's wrong with letting me keep it and take care of myself? Oh, that wouldn't fit the socialist agenda.


On Obama takes office, appeals for 'hope over fear'

Posted on January 21 at 1:56 p.m. ( Suggest removal )

Good luck to Pres. Obama. He will need all he can get. He's done nothing in his life that has had any real effect on the lives of Americans, except bring "hope" to a lot of people by being elected President. Unfortunately neither "hope" nor "change" are strategies. just empty rhetoric. It looks like his plan so far is to continue the big-government, nanny-state, socialistic, nantionalization policies perpetrated on the American public by Pres. Bush and the last Congress.


On Gas drop putting pressure on ethanol industry

How much OPEC oil does it take to power the equipment which harvests the corm and powers the plant to make the ethanol so you don't burn OPEC oil products in your car?

Your clarification makes your comment no less idiotic. So by your reasoning, anyone who commits a careless act was probably drunk?


On 'Disappointed' UW-Whitewater might sue construction firm

While I agree with "janesvillean", I must say "prevention" is a bit over-the-top on this. Poor spoiled pampered college students have to walk a little bit to the bathroom and showers. They're getting some of their money back and if they're suffering any mental problems from this, they were troubled to begin with. It isn't like there are no facilities available, just a little inconvenient. The horror!


On Debate continues on cost, location of new Elkhorn police station

Hoffman makes a good point. There were over 60 people working out of that part of the courthouse when it was the Sheriff's Dept. Give them the 2nd floor that used to be the jail and they should have plenty of room for the future.


On Deer hunting with rifles creates safety debate

Rifles have been allowed in parts of Rock and Walworth counties since 2003. Have there been ANY rifle-related hunting accidents here during the last 4 seasons?


On Walworth County Fair an ideal destination for tourists

Posted on August 24 at 1:06 a.m. ( Suggest removal )

One of the best things about the Walworth County Fair is that there is NO ALCOHOL either sold or allowed on the grounds and they routinely refuse admittance to people who've been drinking and throw those caught with alcohol out.

Sherri, I believe you were the one who started out confrontational by calling the judges bigots. When you start off the blog like that, the first thing many people think is "sour grapes." My kids have entered a wide variety of projects and animals, both good and bad, and were judged appropriately. We don't know anyone on the board, and have not lived in the county all that long. If kids that belong to Walworth County 4-H get a little preferential treatment, so what? It is the "Walworth County" fair after all.
