Sex, Lies and Videotape

Only Kidding, but close......
by Craig Bachler

This is a bit off topic for my part of cyberspace, but here it goes.

I live in perhaps one of the nicest place in Florida, Manatee County. However it is not all perfect in paradise. We have a school board attorney and superintendent that both need to go!

Florida has one of the most transparent record laws in America. However, our superintendent Mr. Roger Dearing and his legal advisory, John Bowen appear to be above the law. Not once, not twice, but many times I have requested public records. Under state law, they must be provided, well not according to Bowen.

Apparently Dearing is hiding stuff under the advise of Bowen. Every time I request any public records, Bowen is asked to get involved and then the stall tatic, a fee to be charged. Didn't I pay this charge in my tax bill every year?

Now Bowen is telling fibs to the local media, saying I intimidate and harass the school board on exercising my legal rights.

Is this the intention of our forefathers, government that lies to the people it is employed by? It is time that Dearing and Bowen resign, put people in place that support education and not Roger Dearings 220k PLUS SALARY that he is given, not earned.

Roger, Bowen, get out of Manatee County.

Let the battle continue

Obama vs Clinton
by Craig Bachler

As most of you know, I am no fan of the Democratic Party. Since I first votes in the 1980's, I leaned towards the conservative candidate, Regan (X's2) Bush in 88, Pat Buchanan in 92 and 96(NH Primary) and the trend continued. My 08 choice dropped out early (Tom Tancredo).

As you can see (unless you have no communications with the rest of the world), the battle between Hillary and Obama is heating up. Hillary is accusing Obama of being out of touch with middle America in his arrogant statements, Obama is accusing Hillary of being out of touch period.

I must give Hillary credit, like Bill (her husband and close friend with the interns) must be a lot of fun on a Saturday night. See the shot and beer she slammed down to prove she is just like us, the rest of America that has a drinking problem.

Well, looks like I am going to vote for the liberal McCain this time.
