gazettefan: I'm embarrassed to say this, but it took me a good 35-40 seconds to get your joke:) Now, five minutes later...I'm still laughint. Nice one.

What kind of a person can actually do this? Strangulation? That's a lot different than shooting someone...I mean, he had to sit there and literally watch the life drain from this poor kid's body. Jesus. I hope the family finds peace.

Agreed, Kiowamohican.
Hillary was spending way too much money in states she should have already had locked up...she outspent Obama almost 2 to 1 in her homestate of New York...
I'm getting really excited about the upcoming elections:) Last I heard Neuman was trailing...we'll see, though. If I were considering a run at the Governor's mansion as a democrat, I'd hold off right now. It's a serious waste of money, and will harm any future bids.

I truly don't think any democrat has a chance in this election..I may end up eating my words, but I don't think I will. I'm pretty sure that Wisconsin has a long history of shying away from Democratic governors...if I remember correctly, Doyle is the only Democrat to serve more than one term as a governor here.

Nice entry...I've lived in Janesville all of my life, except for when I went to college..and I know what you mean, there is this inherent competition between residents of Janesville and Beloit. I have no idea what it stems from.

Anyways, for what it's worth, I went to college at UW-Madison and graduated in May. In various discussion sessions on campus, my hometown would come up in the conversation. You would not believe how negatively Janesville is viewed by people who aren't from here. The whole Ken Peterson KKK debacle is still fresh in a lot of peoples minds. In one particular discussion with an african american student, I remember trying to defend my hometown. I said something along the lines: "I've lived in Janesville pretty much my whole life, and it isn't fairly represented by what you've read about Ken Peterson, I've never felt/witnessed the level of racism you claim Janesville to have." He responded with: "Well, that's because you're a white girl who grew up in Janesville, and went to school in Madison...you've never been a minority, so you wouldn't have experienced it." That response really made me think.

I don't think Janesville is better than Beloit, or vice versa. Both cities have a lot to offer...

But, I do know that Craig is better than Parker...lol.

From SG's post:
"Let's see, the Ft. Hood shooter was muslim, yelling Allahu Akbar as he fired, the Florida shooter was Hispanic, and the Cleveland murderer,Black.
What conclusions can you draw from that?"
The only "conclusion" anyone should draw from that is this: Three HUMANS committed atrocious crimes. I'm not interested in their race...and I think choosing to segregate and label each of these three according to their race is silly. Should the black community shoulder more responsiblity for the crimes committed by a black man than anyone else? I don't see why...As a white woman, I don't feel responsible for the actions of my slave owning ancestors anymore than I would for my german ancestors and their crimes against the Jews.

My point is, your race/heritage does not dictate your actions or your responsiblities. YOU do.

This country does not suck...
The word you're looking for is not "leans" it is "liens"...having been educated in this city I know that...apparently you don't????

I'm sorry, but having come from one of three girls...who were all raised by their single father, and who are all college graduates...I don't give a ****. If you don't want to get someone pregnant....or if you're a female who isn't responsibile enough not to get pregnant...here's a thought...DON"T HAVE SEX! Seriously? I have very little empathy (or sympathy) for those idiots who continuously have sex like they're setting up franchise...take some responsibility! Morons. I do, however, have empathy for those kids or teachers who have to deal with the results of these idiot's poor choices.

Napalm...never think that this country "sucks"...like you say....imagine (if you could) what it would be like if you didn't come from America...we don't even know what "tough" is...compared to the rest of the world, American's have it a lot better...please try to remember that.
