Wait. They’re in Illinois? Why don’t they train a few thousand more and head to Chicago? Bet they’d find plenty there.

Good grief .... I went to their “home page” and was rather surprised at all they have to talk about .... then again, maybe not so surprised. Wow!

This article is the problem with modern day government in a microcosm. The attitude of the government officials in that articles pretty much says it all, when it comes to their attitudes about being held to account.

As I read this, the huge scandal/cronism of Bell, California came to mind. That story broker over a year ago and to me, was a microcosm of corruption nationwide. These two guys should open a branch office in California.

“Donahue said that while Allen and Kraft have won followers, their support is not deep or growing.”

Isn’t this what I have been hearing about “rightwing talk radio” and a host of politicians, including Donald Trump over the past 35 years or so?

Exactly the same thing Obama said in Elkhart just yesterday. Only Obama was much more eloquent and concise. Well if you threw out the ‘it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-its and uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uhs and the grandiose self congratulating parts of the speech, he would have been more eloquent and concise.

Sometimes spelling IS IMPORTANT! In one Indian treaty, the Indian tribe was to receive a reservation on the Kamas Prairie in Idaho.

Some government bureaucrat misspelled it as KANSAS PRAIRIE and refused to change it precipitating a shameful Indian war.

Good find - interesting stuff. These guys are publishing stuff that usually just gets bantered about at the local diner without accomplishing anything.
