On Report: Nuclear power won’t solve global warming

Posted on November 21 at 4:46 a.m. ( Suggest removal )

Funny, you should read what Yahoo has to say about this in their article titled, "The Day Global Warming Stood Still" at http://news.yahoo.com/s/ibd/20091120/bs_...

While, of course, there might be phantom global warming of some kind, it seems that there hasn't been any in the last ten years, this despite the hyperbole and ranting from the left.

On Beloit hospital, clinic to merge

Well, not to point out any specifics, but when my Mom, who was already in the hospital for a heart attack complained of chest pains, they gave her a pain reliever and sent her to bed. The doctor was never notified until the following day. Between that and the the stroke that followed, it did all the damage it needed to.

On Do you support efforts to build a casino in Beloit?

Bah, they already had the vote and Beloit's wishes were the ones that were counted. As far as I'm concerned, most of this is just sour grapes from Janesville that Beloit might pass them up. Beloit has long been both the armpit of the state and the armpit of Rock County, but here is a chance to bring money from out-of-state tourists on a convenient location right off the highway and right over the state line.

As far as the local bums, better they spend the money here in Rock County gambling than up in the Dells.

On Janesville standoff with suicidal subject resolved

It's unfortunate that they thought they needed the guns, but sometimes those who wish to leave this life, wish not to go alone. The officers' first concern needs to be the safety of others, then they need to deal with the suicidal person, if they can.

That movie is like, five hours long. I read the book pretty easily, but sitting still for that long to watch the movie is pretty impossible... even if Rob Lowe doesn't have a speaking line in the movie.

Oh, I think they do choose to be stupid for the most part. Family, genetics, or upbringing play a part, but it is the one area where we can truly make a difference if we work hard. But it's easier to be stupid than it is to pick up a book or think ten or fifteen seconds before doing something.

On Beloit teen killed in shooting

There isn't a good part of Beloit anymore, gangsters have guns and cars now. I've lived all over Beloit and every place I've lived has had violence within just a couple blocks - often within sight of where I've lived. The "hood" may seem the worst, but it hardly contains it.

I've lived in Janesville too and that's no protection. Cars that can drive across town are capable of making it the fifteen miles to get to Janesville.

On State offered $409 million incentive package in failed GM bid

As bad as it will be for Wisconsin, I don't begrudge Michigan their chance at retaining their plant. Our unemployment is bad, bad, bad, but their unemployment picture is even worse. Of course, if GM doesn't step up eventually, it won't matter whether this plant was saved or not.

Sure, in this economy we shouldn't be teaching girls that having a service job and coaching at the same time are acceptable. We should instead be teaching them to stick to principle and remain otherwise unemployed in order to work for the school district and make a couple grand.
