Another Wal-Mart Post

We all have heard that the family of the poor gentleman who got trampled to death at the Wal-Mart store near NYC. Well, I have a little advice for the family and lawyers even tho I'm not a lawyer.
1. Sue every department/big chain store in the nation!
Wal-Mart did not create the atmosphere in which this tragedy occurred. That company has only followed what the competition had started. A lot of stores have/or offer so called "early bird" specials. I rememember stores offering anyone who entered the store additional discounts if they where there inbetween 5am and 7am.
2. Sue/go after anyone that bought anything immediately after the incident.
If they paid by check or credit card it would be easy to find them. These people are the ones who really created the mab mentality that day.

Why????

I found this on the MJS website and I thought i would comment.

The Cudahy Common Council's decision to reject a proposed Wal-Mart Supercenter is disappointing, but the world's largest retailer will look for other ways to serve customers in that area, a company spokeswoman said today.

Wal-Mart spokeswoman Lisa Nelson declined to say whether the Tuesday night council vote has definitely killed plans for a Supercenter, a combined supermarket and discount store, in Cudahy. For now, she said, Wal-Mart will focus on its other Milwaukee-area planned Supercenters, including projects in Waukesha, Muskego, Franklin and Milwaukee's south side.

The 137,000-square-foot Cudahy Supercenter was to anchor a retail development proposed by Continental Properties Co. for 26 acres, south of E. Layton Ave., between S. Nicholson Ave. and Sweet Applewood Lane. That is the site of the failed Iceport project.

What in the heck are they thinking? With the economy the way it is why turn down a job creating business. Oh, that's because it's Wal-Mart. With the loss of so many factory jobs in the area these towns and cities need to really look at what Wal-Mart and other big box stores would bring.

Look at every Wal-Mart and what do you see,other business's building around them! At the old Capitol Court you have a new mall that is either full or darn near it. The old Southgate Mall area has started to recover. In short, get over this anti Wal-Mart mentality and start rebuilding the local economy.

Things You Can Only Say at Thanksgiving and get away with!

It's a little late but I saw this on another site

1. Talk about a huge breast!

2. Tying the legs together keeps the inside moist.

3. It's Cool Whip time!

4. If I don't undo my pants, I'll burst!

5. Whew, that's one terrific spread!

6. I'm in the mood for a little dark meat.

7. Are you ready for seconds yet?

8. It's a little dry, do you still want to eat it?

9. Just wait your turn, you'll get some!

10. Don't play with your meat.

11. Just spread the legs open and stuff it in.

12. Do you think you'll be able to handle all these people at once?

13. I didn't expect everyone to come at once!

14. You still have a little bit on your chin.

15. How long will it take after you stick it in?

16. You'll know it's ready when it pops up.

17. Wow, I didn't think I could handle all of that!

18. That's the biggest one I've ever seen!

19. How long do I beat it before it's ready?

Weather Porn

Good i got your attention.
I have a question for all the news & weather people, Why do y'all get so damn exited every time there might/is snow coming to southeastern Wisconsin??? It's not like we never get any, for goodness sakes we got enough last year. Sure, we the average blokes want to know if it is coming but get a grip. We don't want to hear from 15 different reporters spread around the area as to what has fallen or not fallen every 10 minutes.

Christmas Joke

Three men died on Christmas Eve and were met by Saint Peter at the pearly gates.

"In honor of this holy season" Saint Peter said, "You must each possess something that symbolizes Christmas to get into heaven."

The first man fumbled through his pockets and pulled out a lighter. He flicked it on. "It represents a candle", he said.

"You may pass through the pearly gates" Saint Peter said.

The second man reached into his pocket and pulled out a set of keys. He shook them and said, "They're bells."

Saint Peter said "You may pass through the pearly gates".

The third man started searching desperately through his pockets and finally pulled out a pair of women's panties.

St. Peter looked at the man with a raised eyebrow and asked, "And just what do those symbolize?"


The man replied, "These are Carols."

Happy Lefties??

In reading blogs and other forums it appears that the Democrats and the left are very hostile in their comments on posts, even when things go their way. They cannot find any happiness in their lives so they need to make those who are happy or positive miserable.
  1. When someone has a religion, the left attacks that religion.(except Muslim)
  2. If someone works hard and reaps the benefits of their labor the left wants to guilt the person(s) into thinking it is evil.
  3. If someone criticizes them they go into name calling, race card playing, verbal and/or physical intimidation.
Please don't use the false argument that it is the Republicans and the right that does #3 all the time. This does not fly with me on any level. That is because it very rarely happens and if it does it would be well documented and frankly I have yet to see any news stories that are credible.

Motorcycle Rant part deux

My Second rant about Motorcycling. Everything in blue I have covered before:
Tailgating: this is not acceptable unless you are on a race track. Tailgating a bike is dangerous to the biker. If we have to stop in a hurry,the truck/car/minivan/SUV behind a bike will severely injure the biker and passenger.
Secure/cover your load: this one applies to all those dump trucks, pickups, and those who haul stuff to the dump. Please cover your load so it is not blowing out of the truck. It's not so bad when you are in a car, but on a bike it can be very bad. I have been pelted by a fine dust from the back of a dump truck and it felt like I was in a sandblaster.
Awareness: be aware that there are motorcycles out there. Just because you don't here one, there might be one.
Blindspots: On a bike the blindspots are larger. They have no rear view mirror, just the 2 that are on the handlebars. If we can't see you, we don't know you are there.
Racing: Just because I have a sportier looking motorcycle does not mean I will race you down the road.
Respect: When you see a motorcycle rider either on the road or in a restaurant,bar, or where ever treat them the same way you want to be treated. They could be a doctor, lawyer, judge, engineer or any in other profession. We are not all in the Hells Angels.

Bad Finger Day

Here I sit at the keyboard on a Friday afternoon with little good to say so I will let my filter rest.

First of all WTF are the voters in Milwaukee thinking?? Passing an tax raise proposed by the county board. You all should be ashamed of yourselves, I do NOT want to hear from those who claim they were misled by the wording or it's to lower property taxes. Those lines are bulls&$t!!! The last raise they got they claimed the same thing and did the property tax go down??? NO. As far as the wording of the question, Yes at first glance it was a little confusing but after reading it over a second time it becomes clear.

Second, I am sick and tired of the coverage by EVERYONE in this last election cycle. Here are some reasons:
The MSM
  • for the non stop gushing over Obama
  • For ignoring stories that reflect negatively on Obama
  • The negative tone towards anyone who disagreed
  • The race & income baiting
Bloggers/New Media
  • For the negativity towards Obama
  • following the Obama's lead of race/class baiting in spending time writing about it
  • The negative tone towards anyone who disagreed
I know that not everyone in the MSM and the Blogger worlds fell into this, but enough did.
