On Troubling portrait emerges of Fort Hood suspect
Posted on November 6 at 5:48 p.m. ( Suggest removal )
I lean conservative, voted for the "other guy" and was completely against Obama getting elected, but that being said, I didn't find Obama's comments in this case offensive at all.
I might have opened up with the Fort Hood comments instead of doing the opening he did, though, understanding that it was his first public comment after the shooting, and that the shooting was being covered extensively on the national news.
Nevertheless, I can find far better things to be offended about regarding the current administration than this.

Ljs64, yep, the condescension you show by correcting someone’s spelling on a post that expresses more thought and knowledge than those on many blogs will go a long way in improving the nation’s educational system.
I would venture to guess that your real reason for pointing out spelling errors was to make yourself feel superior, which sadly made you seem petty and smug. It certainly served no other purpose.
To freeradical, there are many professions that prevent you from going "off the clock," so to speak. For example, journalists (can't join political parties), teachers (could be fired/lose their license for breaking the law), preachers, even politicians. If you want a job where you can punch out and behave any way you want, you don't enter those professions.
As a side note, most responsible adults of his age are far beyond the days of playing beer pong.
On UW-W student questions on-campus grocery prices

This is an odd little story to put in the newspaper.
If our college students are not bright enough to notice that the prices are more expensive for items in the convenience store on campus, maybe they shouldn't be in school.
No one shopped at the store on campus at the state school I attended unless they were desperate--be it because the weather was bad and they didn't want to walk, were massively craving junk food and didn't have the time to shop off-campus or were just too lazy.
Sad that this kid's discovery of this fact warranted a news story.

Ramstud, 90%? I seriously doubt that.

Cookiedough, way to generalize on the season-ticket holders. Not all of us are rich, and not all of us got our tickets from previous generations.
I've got the Milwaukee package, so I wasn't at this game. Probably wouldn't have booed him, but can understand why he was.
Like the commentators said last night, there are two sides to this story, and the truth is somewhere in the middle. I didn't dislike either side of the equation until Favre made a point to play for the Vikings. He could've remained a Jet, but chose to play the retirement game once again to become a hated Viking.
Hope they don't make it to the Super Bowl. I don't want him to have the satisfaction.

Wow, if the other poster pat refers to (who writes for the local paper) is posting on this article, I would hope that local paper cracks down on her/him.
Showing your bias regarding community stories while trashing other reporters/news outlets for writing what they know is immature and reflects poorly on your newspaper. It was nice of pat to shine a light on his/her unprofessionalism.

You were doing so well but couldn't let it alone. So now it's a "popular discussion" again. No one was attacking her, and yet you still post.
In some cases you just confirmed what others said, but if you just stopped posting, the other posts wouldn't have happened--no one would have felt the need to challenge what you said.
Here's a handful of things you've shared in your posts:
she is being sues by 2 people. One is going after for anything and everything she can get pretty much because she can.
Yes her BAC was low - just enough to be over the limit because she had not had that much to drink.
She was at a friends house.
Your child hood shapes you - shes been through a lot thats all Im saying. You have no idea.
The father is active in the childs life. Right now the child is being taken care of by heathers parents, the chils father and a friend of both heather and the fathers who has watched her since she was little.
The father works 3rd shift though so right now they are trying to work it all out.
Yes she has a driking problem.
The dad has a son already from another relationship
He at times would rather bike than be with his kids but I guess maybe he needs a break. I dont like him as a person - he kid of uses women but he loves his kids. The day he was at the hospital it was with heather for their daughter who was very sick.
From what i hear she was a friend of Johns, then started watching the girl, and became friends with heather too.
Right now its heathers mom and John paying her.
because they were both drinking.
She was racing, I gess youcould say, and lost controll. No drinking involved. Yes she was at a party that got busted when she was in high school and got a ticket.
She has seen a shrink a few times and has not touched a drop since this happened.
no but her family got it all out of her house before she got home from jail. She hasnt had a drink since.
she has lost a LOT of friends over this
She worked maybe 30 times.

I agree completely with dancingQueen. In fact, I wrote the same thing a couple days ago but lost it while trying to post and figured I didn't have the motivation to rewrite it.
Here's what I've learned from this blog: Heather has a drinking problem, has lost a lot of friends over this, shares custody with her child's father whose name is John. I've also learned how often she worked after the accident, that she has a lot of bills to pay, is being sued, who will be caring for her child while she's in jail, that she's been in another accident involving a tree, got a drinking ticket before, that she hasn't sought treatment but has been to a shrink since the accident, that she's had a hard life, where she was before the crash, why there was alcohol in the car...
If I were Heather, I think I would prefer it if my friends weren't posting all this personal stuff on a blog while trying to defend that I was a good mother. What does she care whether people think she's a good mother or not? No one on this blog, to my knowledge, has any authority to have her child taken away. So, let them think what they want, but don't keep airing all of Heather's personal stuff to the rest of the world.
I would venture that if you stopped defending her, this blog will stop being one of the "popular discussions" and will quickly fade away. A good friend would let that happen.
On Seven Big Foot students injured in crash

This reminds me of when my brother and his buddy decided to TP the home of a girl he liked from another school. My parents and I had warned my brother that TPing was not a good idea, and he could be arrested. But he ignored our warnings, thinking “who would ever be ticked off for such a silly prank.” Well, he learned.
His intended victim lived out in the country, and the two boys had to leave once during the TPing because the family dog was barking so much. They came back later to finish the job, and as they were leaving the driveway, the girl’s father jumped out into the middle of the driveway in front of them, shotgun in hand. My brother whipped around him and sped off, and the guy started pursuing him in his own vehicle.
My brother got arrested as he drove into town and was charged with disorderly conduct, reckless driving and vandalism, among other things. Turns out the girl was being harassed with vicious anonymous notes and phone calls, and the father thought the TPing was a continuation of the harassment.
The father later dropped the charges after my brother went out and did chores for him for a few days.
I don’t think my brother ever TP’d anything again.
That said, there are far worse things kids could be doing besides TPing. But I would discourage kids from doing it because you might pick someone, as my brother did, who doesn’t find it amusing.
As a side note, I don’t think the family probably chased these kids, but it is entirely possible that someone else chased them as a prank that went terribly wrong. My prayers are with the kids that they will all recover fully.
