About the Election...

Gloat? Gloat!

I'm not writing this post to gloat. I want to make that clear, first and foremost. It's fun to rattle cages and start trouble among the mouth breathers. That's not why I write, though....

Just kidding, i'm here to gloat...

I figured there were many ways to go about rubbing it in the collective faces of those who, somehow, thought that Mitt Romney would win the election. But you know what, they know what they did.

They spit in the face of America. And America, in turn, roundhouse kicked them in the face.

Instead, i'd like to show some love to the crazies that populate the comments. Those crazy coots who went down on the Romney boat like a band on the Titanic.  Because, without them, the election would have been a total, and complete bore...

I want to thank Vera Volpe, you wacky kid, you. You might have been among the loudest anti-Obama people out there. I know it burns, but hey, at least you get to keep posting anonymous comments on the Patch, pretending everything you say isn't borderline racist.

Francis Regan, don't think I forgot about you. You have had a bad fall, for sure.  You were really hard on the Romney bandwagon. And you were REALLY hard on that Drew Peterson is innocent bandwagon. Unfortunately for you, they crashed into eachother and fell out of the public eye like a neutron star collapsing into itself.

Kerry. I love you, Kerry. You actually said this summer that George W. Bush was a great foreign ambassador, and that everyone in other countries was laughing at Barack Obama. This is on the Mt. Rushmore of dumbest things ever said on the Patch. You deserve recognition for your delusion!

John Morelli. I hope. I desperately hope. You are reading this right now. You are racist, insane and a firework. You are everything I could have ever hoped for in a commenter. You are like Vera even though...you are Vera. It's almost disapointing to know that most of the tormenters on this site are actually one tormented person.

Look to your right. Look to your left. To one side is empty pop cans. To the right is a half-eaten Hot Pocket. All around you....that's just loneliness. You are one person posting under multiple names. Someone feels sorry for you somewhere.

Not me, though. Yep, spolier alert everyone. There isn't a series of people who are the most vocal against the views of our town. It's one person. One sad, desperate, lonely person reaching out in the hopes that anyone will care.

Why is this sad? Because the same person would post under multiple accounts.

Why is this hilarious? Because everyone that doesn't like me? Yep, you are echoing his views. John Morelli, Vera Volpe...that is one person. You guys are usng the same sad. lonely person as your battle cry. Your hero. Your person of interest.

Because you guys have no thoughts of your own, you've decided to latch onto one person, participating under multiple accounts. Not only can you not think for yourselves, you are letting one person do the work of multiple people's thinking under multiple statuses, one more off center and racist than the last.

I'm going to go to bed tonght thinking about how great of a night it was. Not just for me and gloriously being on the right side of the election. But also because so many of you are sheep, chasing the opinions of one sad, lonely person. Thank God I have an opinion that's my own...

Hey Brandon--can we dream up some kind of poll that tags those candidates whose yard signs are still up as either sore losers or lazy winners? Will some stay up until next election ????

Hey Ed, when are we going to start putting out your campaign signs for Plainfield Township Highway Commissioner? I'm ready to help!
Mike Keniley November 9, 2012 at 04:59 pm
Ed...The majority of Democratic Candidate signs in Plainfield Township should be pulled by Saturday.
Many were placed by Precinct Committeepersons who placed the signs in the yards and property of supporters within their precinct. To all the voters in Plainfield Township: If there are Democratic Candidate signs missed by the pickups after Saturday...please contact me at plfdpct3@gmail.com or 815/483-9110. Thank you.

Thanks Mike, you have shown a positive and caring response to an unsightly issue that others seem to ignor every time we have an election.

Unlike the big offshore-based http://www.coachoutletonlinexc.net/ Coach Factory Outlet names, domestic players, and anyone operating a China-based service for that matter, must follow Beijing's http://www.louisvuittonoutletam.net/ Louis Vuitton Purses strict self-censorship rules and immediately remove any content banned by central propaganda officials or http://www.coachoutletstoreze.com/ Coach Factory Outlet risk big fines and even closure.The homegrown Chinese services have had to walk a difficult tightrope as http://www.guccibeltsoutletds.net/ Gucci Belts they tried to build commercial services while waiting for Beijing to take a clear stance on how much it was willing to http://www.coachfactoryonlinefn.net/ Coach Factory Outlet tolerate in the world of online public debate.Beijing initially took a line of relative tolerance, only to http://www.coachfactoryonlineae.com/ Coach Factory Outlet slam on the brakes periodically when angry debate started getting out of control during discussion of http://www.coachoutletb1.com/ Coach Factory Online sensitive topics like the high-speed rail crash in Zhejiang province last year that left more than 30 dead and 200 http://www.coachoutlethcs.com/ Coach Outlet Online injured.Beijing's growing unease with the situation came to a head in late 2011

I am just wondering how long this suspense filled soap opera will continue? Bottom line: HurtadoRead More knew his buddy needed a job...so; he and his majority board members made a mockery of local government due process and gave Mr. Peck a job, even though Hurtado voted with the past board to unanimously select an Exec…who is still under a contract. And then decided there was a need to pay a board secretary (who jumped out of the frying pan…smart move) and then appointed someone without pay. And of course there is a need to have a paid political hack to help publicly spin the board’s craziness via press releases.

I hate to ask the obvious of Mr. Peck (not that I expect him to answer anyway), but why is thisRead More announcement coming from the Executive Director rather than our newly appointed Director of Communications?
Bad News Bears June 18, 2013 at 02:53 pm
Mr. Peck, please answer 2 questions for me: 1. If you are cutting $800K but AdministrativeRead More Salaries are up over $118K, where are the cuts coming from. I have always been a patron of the Park District and want to know which of my programs your skimming off to pay yourself and Mr. Booth. 2. "Our staff deserves a lot of credit for this budget,” Peck said, “as their efforts to hold the line wherever possible have led to our success on behalf of District residents." Is reducing hours of employees the way you reward your staff now? I'm very upset that you honestly thought that cutting loyal employees hours instead of offering benefits was a good idea. I have a better one, cut the hours of Mr. Booth who has an unnecessary job and use his pay and salaries to offset the 4 loyal part-time workers. I will not hold my breath for your answers since answering questions to the people who pay your salary isn't on your to do list
