On Favre shakes off boos, Vikings beat Packers 38-26
Posted on November 2 at 4:01 p.m. ( Suggest removal )
who cares how long someone has been a Packer fan? Geez, it's just a game. Is their some kind of Packer fan test you're supposed to pass? I was kind of glad to see Favre stick it to the Packers. It was a good game and the better team won. No I am no viking fan, that's for sure.
On Ho-Chunk Nation buys casino land
Posted on November 2 at 10:33 a.m. ( Suggest removal )
Look, we gave the Native Americans the shaft here and everybody knows it. But, then we can't live in the past either. If it was all ancestral land, then let them build a casino. Since my ancestors were from France and Ireland, can I go there an build a Casino? No. It's my ancestral land after all, so why can't I?
I have mixed feelings about it. I don't see casinos as a great economic engine, but then the Beloit area really deserves progress, I'm just not sure that it's the right way to go.

Good grief. Blame it on Obama. Sure. Greenspan and his clan had 19 years to deregulate and look the other way as trillions of dollars were defrauded from you and I. Reagan, Clinton and Bush were either complicit or ignorant of the debacle looming ahead of us.
But ya want Obama to fix it in 10 months. He can't. it's broke and there isn't enough duct tape on this planet to fix it.
On Should state mandate motorcycle helmets?

If you get a choose whether or not you get to wear a helmet, why can't car drivers get a choice about wearing a seat belt? It's non-sense.
I don't think we need anymore laws, but would like to see people take responsible actions, which is why we need more laws because people don't responsible actions. It's a never ending feedback loop.
The responsible thing, as a motorcyclist, would be to wear a helmet. Unless you enjoy permanent brain injuries and death, not to mention the grief and responsibility you shove on your family members who have to deal with your injuries/death, but by all means, go right ahead.
If they can't pass a helmet law, the repeal the seatbelt law.

If they don't get engines from Harley, what more can they do? Put a Honda in it? Good luck. It a shame that one more American manufacturer is folding. Aren't all the news channels and paper's saying the recession is over? It won't be over here for years.

I don't have a problem with the words, but does it belong a public property? No, I don't think so.

I don't think Chicago every had a chance. The only reason it was a contender was because of Obama. Let's be serious, as a tv event, where would you rather watch the games? Rio or Chicago?Duh, Rio. That's why it came down to Madrid or Rio. Chicago is the armpit of America.

What is scary is people like Pete who have no clue, or care to have a clue about the science of climate change and what it means for us. The deniers always throw Al Gore in there, as if he matters at all. You don't get it.

I don't know if I buy the raccoon story, unless they were young ones. Most I've seen are rather large, fast and angry, especially in close quarters.
Either way, it was stupid.

On Jaloit/Beloiville
Posted on November 16 at 10:20 a.m. ( Suggest removal )
Well, for one, Beloit's downtown was beautifully redone, something Janesville could take a few pointers on. Riverside drive and the park along the river is wonderful as well. A walk around the Beloit College campus and the effigy mounds is very nice as well. Just to the west of Beloit is the Beckman Mill County park, which is a nice visit, especially in the warmer months when they offer tours.
There are some nice restaurants down town as well as the Beloit College bookstore, which is actually a small Barnes and Noble. Beloit also has a beautiful brand new public library up behind the old Beloit Mall. There is the Farmers market that runs every weekend from spring to fall, as well as the yearly film festival.
Really, no where I've ever lived have I experienced this silly beloit/janesville thing. As much as it may offend many people, I believe it was originally born out of pure racism and we are still seeing the effects of that today. Janesville is a much larger town, and is a fine one as well. Just a couple of small midwestern cities with some serious economic as well as social challenges that we all need to overcome.
