July 3, 2009 Happy 4th of July! I know a lot of you will be going to the beach, to a park, to a relative's house (wherever) and that's all fine and wonderful. But the best thing you can do to celebrate the 4th of July -- Independence Day: let's not forget that part -- is to read the Declaration of Independence in order to see what it was that separated us from England that our countrymen fought and died for, and to read the U.S. Constitution and its Amendments. I read the U.S. Constitution at least once a year and this year will be no different. Knowing your constitutional rights is important with a Socialist president and congress (especially when the opposition party has no spine). Read these important documents aloud with your family today or tomorrow. It doesn't take that long and it is important that you be aware of what our history is, our founding is, and why America is the greatest country on earth!. (And if any of you "internationalist" one-worlders or others want to whine and complain about me saying so, that's just way too bad! BooHoo.) July 2, 2009 I wrote a new blog. And as I said below, it's going to be harder hitting stuff, and this one is definitely fulfilling that promise. I hope you will read my latest, Sotomayor: A Problem We Don't Need. I hope you enjoy it and please feel free to comment. Remember that I have final say in all comments and I will not post profanities. Okay? Well, it's time for a change. I have decided that instead of being inundated with press releases from the County (six to twelve on some days!), to not have the separate Parks and Recs updates page, PSJ Library page and the PSJ Community Center page. I now just have a link to their official websites. I have had a problem keeping up with those updates and it has put me off of trying; and from keeping my website current. So, I have changed that part of my site and just have links to their official sites. This will take away that pressure and allow me to feel freer to make my site what I want it to be. What is that? Even more hard hitting than it already is. Yep. Even harder hitting than it is now. So, watch out. Taking down the County's press releases and not having to post them any more makes my site less of a "community service" site, but it frees me to make this site what I want it to be because I have actually held back due to the County's posts being here. No longer. I have already unsubscribed to their updates. I have already changed those links, and will be making the other changes in the next two weeks. When I do, watch out! "It's going to be a bumpy ride!" Unfortunately, the rule of life is that it will step in and mess up "the best laid plans of mice and men": I am no exception. I wanted to get a new Cullen page up before today, but it just didn't happen. I had one laid out in my head and about six paragraphs finished on page, but then.... We had to re-roof our house and I helped with that. I even went up on the roof and did some seam taping! I'm petrified of heights! "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." even get on the roof and help out. So, that being completed, I had to go up to my Mom's house in SC and visit her. After all, I had delayed that for six months and it was time to get myself up there and do a few things for her. So I went up there for a week and when I came back, I did some stuff around here, got some rest, and then... Cullen Two: More "Cost Effective". Read it and laugh or weep or pull out your hair and scream; or start a recall movement. Whichever, it's going to be a bumpy ride with Cullen as our Tax Collector. Hold on, buckle your seat belts, hide your wallet and your children's wallets. She wants all of that and more! And now more news about Cullen; can you believe it? She finally -- and I do mean finally took down her website that has been illegally up since December. (All advertising is supposed to be removed within thirty days after the elections: including websites -- I contacted the Florida Elections Commission and asked). Well, I guess Cullen's doing better than at least one other candidate from last year whose websites are still up even though she was defeated in August! Anyways, the news is that later this week, I shall have some more info for you on the Cullen Tax Collector's office being "more efficient and cost effective" via hiring more people, giving more people higher level job titles, and, thus, putting all her favorite people on the State retirement benefit. This won't cost us much, now will it folks? After all, it is "more efficient and cost effective", now isn't it? Don't you want to pay for her friends for the rest of their lives? Check out my new blog, "Already A LOSER" . It's hard hitting and it's gonna' be hot, so be sure to check it out. Well, there's good news and then there's good news. The good news is that I quit my job. "That's good news?" you ask. Yep. Now I have time and energy to devote to my site and I am already looking for a job which doesn't entail hearing my boss cuss people out and treat them like dirt under his feet. The other good news is that I have finished a Lisa Cullen page that explains what is happening in the Tax Collector's office currently. Also, how it's effecting you. "How's that?" you ask. Well, read the whole thing and find out how. You'll be surprised, appalled, and/or disappointed; at the very least you'll be entertained. Read about Cullen's Crud: Tax Collector's Fiasco, etc. and see what I mean. UPDATE! Well, I did a Freedom Of Information Act request to Lisa Cullen's office and found the total that the President's Day "In-Service Day" cost the taxpayers of Brevard County. Wow. I was right to be alarmed. The total? You'll love this: $19,541.27! Yep. $19,541.27 is how much we paid to get no service from the Tax Collector's office on President's Day when it was supposed to be open. So, we paid for each of the 138 employees who were there to not work to drive to the meeting and to eat lunch. That's what we paid for the Tax Collector, Lisa Cullen -- who campaigned last year on the platform of making the TC office "more efficient and cost effective" -- to do NO work for the people on that day. Did you read that correctly? Yes, you did. Apparently, like the current POTUS, Cullen thinks that spending almost $20,000 on a day of no work in the Tax Collector's office so that the employees can meet her and find out the direction she wants to take the office is "more efficient and cost effective". Yeah. Right. I posted the first letter Cullen sent me after she found out that I was yanking my endorsement of her. It is an interesting read now, considering everything I have seen her do now. You may wish to take a look. The second Cullen letter is now available as well. Also, I did the math and did you realize that each of those Tax Collector office employees not working for us that day cost us $141.60. "More efficient and cost effective" Cullen campaigned on that promise. Sounds to me as though she's keeping that promise, right? For a video you just gotta' watch, go here! Oh, and you might want to put a pillow on the floor beneath your jaw. Just in case. I have decided to keep my info up on the PSJ incorporation battle of 2002. I think it's important that people have that info available and that they are able to remember the past and prove their information. For if we do not remember the past we are doomed to repeat it. That's an old lesson I learned a long time ago, and it looks to me as though we need that kind of reminder considering who we have as president. Between that and two of the main characters involved in the PSJ incorporation push running for public office in this year's election, I think it's a good time to keep that info up, lest we forget and lest the thought is that it will not be brought up again. The past is always available for those willing to access it. Do not forget. Click on PSJ Info to see the past that we don't want to repeat. A particular publisher decided not to correct a falsehood in his little rag paper, the pooper scooper that is referenced in the title to the new website. When sent proof of the misinformation willfully published in Maureen Rupe's October column, the publisher responded, "I'll keep your letter on file in case anyone should ask about the article in question." [my bolding]So, I thought that it would be good to let the people of PSJ know what the local publisher was doing with the truth: ignoring it to let the lie stand. This is the same publisher who published over 99% more pro-incorporation column inches than anti-incorporation column inches during that 2002 battle. Interesting to see his bent, yes? I saw the HAPPENINGS article written by my favorite liberal, Maureen Rupe, for October's articles. Isn't that special? She calls names and throws a little hissy sore-loser fit. Well, read my response to Maureen Rupe here. Some may enjoy it. Maureen Rupe, as usual, will not. And, as usual, this whole site is COPYRIGHTED to myself and I reserve all rights to it.
