I want to comment on the cameras installed at intersections. Wouldn’t it be a better use of taxpayer’s money if we had cameras and other surveillance devices installed in our public servants’ offices and homes to protect us, the taxpayers, from our public servants?
Wasn’t it taxpayer’s money that paid for the investigation and prosecution of Mr. Mike Ratcliff, his defense, the judge, his fees, place to stay, ride, gas, meals, entertainment? Wasn’t it taxpayer’s money that Mr. Ratcliff used to support himself and his family? Speaking of guilty pleasures see section B, in the Aug. 27 Victoria Advocate.
And, while I’m on the subject of insanity, why double the marriage license fee? I’ve heard that “you cannot legislate morality” and “you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink?” The public is going to benefit from this increased fee?
Speaking of sly government “leaders” and crafty CEOs, what’s really behind Exelon and this uranium mining company? Doesn’t Exelon sound like excellence, only better? I wonder who spun up that name?
Football is King in Texas, not education. Oops. SAT scores stay low, see article on front page in the Aug. 27 Victoria Advocate and last week’s 46 page section on football.
“Come on horsey, have a drink. See, the nice education? Don’t you want just a little? It tastes bad, you say horsey? Tastes too much like the truth, and truth hurts? You’re right, let’s not learn, let’s not think, let’s go back to the barn and watch Sex and the City and dumb down some more.”
Back in the Barn:
“Hey honey, get me another beer and shut them brats up. I’m watching the game! No I will not marry you; we can’t afford the license, and besides only stupid people need those classes. I love this new wall-sized HD TV and satellite! So, what if I’m paying to be advertised to, look at that picture! I’ll corporal punish you, you stupid brats, where’s the remote? Whose I- Pod did I just sit on? Is this your Game Boy? When are them six double-wide pizzas and four “x-treemed” sized boxes of buffalo wings gonna get here? Honey, you got the $150 for the pizza man? No, I’m not gonna tip him, he’s paid a salary, let him earn his money the same way I do, in a government office!”
