Please pass along my "thanks" to your Ohio team. It was nearly 4pm yesterday afternoon when I placed my order with Rob. As I type this email, the UPS truck is just pulling away after delivering my order. WOW!
Rob has an A-1 team all around. While I have come to expect "Off The Charts" service from LaserBits over the years, I continue to be impressed.
Thank you, to everyone at LaserBits!
- Dean
Appreciate the prompt delivery. Although you have always done that for us, we still appreciate it.
Keep up the good work!
- Dave
I am extremely happy with how fast my product was shipped and received. I ordered it 2/1 and it was on my desk 2/2. Your Customer Service is great and they answered all my questions very thoroughly.
Thank you very much!
- Jason
Your company is great! Your products are great! Your customer service is great! Your support materials are great! LaserBits is great! I have been a long time customer and will continue to be.
Great job LaserBits, Thank you.
- Linda
Your catalog was great for the Tech Tips, the pricing guide, and the product photos. It's no wonder why I was told that LaserBits was THE SOURCE for laserable materials for my new laser.
- Bill
I purchased my laser second hand two years ago. I only received one day of training and have used it on several substrates. Laser U is providing me with a new avenue of products to offer my customers.
Thank you Laser U
- Jayne
I am a sole operator. Before buying a laser I took a course from LaserU and found it really useful. Two years later I am returning for a refresher. It's been most useful to me and I am still learning. The courses have become even more worthwhile with the addition of more videos. Combined with documentation, I find I can follow the lesson very easily.
- Leslie
You guys (and gals) ROCK!!!... Ordered on a Sunday online and had it delivered two days later... The week after Thanksgiving!!!! Great service.
- Steve
I purchased an Epilog Laser System approx. 2 months ago and was directed to several different resource companies for engraveable products. LaserBits has beaten them ALL in customer service, availability of items, price, and delivery times. I plan to stay with your company from here on out. LaserBits offers almost everything I need, in convenient stop.
- Paul
Please pass along my heart-felt thanks to all of your staff for their excellent customer service while I was under fire.
I so greatly appreciate your high degree of product knowledge as well as your customer service and follow through. I look forward to doing a great deal of business with your company in the near future and for years to come. You represent your company well.
- Kim
My second order from your company arrived today. I am equally as impressed as I was with the first order. I am very happy to have found a supplier like LaserBits.
- Bob
Your customer service department and Mike both provided excellent service in response to my technical issue. I am extremely happy with the results from their advice. Thanks again to everybody at LaserBits!
- John
I placed my first order with you last Friday. I requested 2nd day air. I had made an error on my order and I caught the order before it was shipped. When I called, the gentleman I spoke with on the phone was extremely polite, and knowledgeable. My order was shipped on time. My order arrived on time. I am thoroughly satisfied with the service provided by your company. You are GREAT! I will tell everyone I meet. Thank you!
The customer service you have provided to me, throughout all my transactions with LaserBits, has shown nothing but outstanding service and for this I will keep coming back.
- Erik
I just wanted to let you know that I really appreciate your help with all your professionalism. Your willingness to go out of your way to assist me along with your company's customer service policy is outstanding. It has been a pleasure doing business with you.
- Randal
I just placed two orders with you, and I just recieved them, without a hitch. Thank you very much for the exemplary customer service that you have displayed for Petserv's first two orders!

We operate a chat filter to block offensive chat, but this will not be able to catch every type of rule-breaking. If your child experiences anything in-game that they find offensive, they can report this by clicking on the 'Report Abuse' button on the game screen. They can then type in the offending player or character name and submit the report for Jagex staff to review.
After sending a report, your child will automatically be asked if they wish to add the reported user to their ignore list. By doing so, your child will not hear from the offending account again. Learn more about the ignore system in RuneScape and in FunOrb.
To find out how to report an incident, click here for RuneScape, or click here for FunOrb.
When a player submits an abuse report, our 24-hour Player Support team receives a copy of the conversation between the reporter and the reported, allowing our team to effectively decide what action is required.
We action all abuse reports in line with the rules of our games. Where possible, we aim to educate players as to what they may have done wrong, to ensure that they learn from the experience. Where appropriate we will escalate abuse reports to Law Enforcement agencies.
If you have a major concern regarding a conversation that has taken place within one of our games, we advise you to contact a member of your local law enforcement agency. Please be aware that we cannot divulge any information to you regarding any accounts involved, but will cooperate fully with any law enforcement investigation. All law enforcement agencies should contact us via the below email address:

MacIver News Service | July 21, 2010 [Madison, Wisc...] State health officials Wednesday released a long-range health vision that proposes increased taxes on alcohol, placing community health centers in middle schools, restricting the sale of alcohol at public events and would begin public schooling for children as young as three years old.
According to the Department of Health Services, the Healthiest Wisconsin 2020: Everyone Living Better, Longer sets out several major health improvement targets, including smoking prevention, lowering obesity rates, ensuring access to good nutrition and increasing exercise levels. The plan also emphasizes the need to improve systems that support health, such as research, health literacy, sustainable funding, partnerships and information systems.
"Everyone — public health departments, educators, health care providers, advocacy groups, employers, community coalitions and residents — can use this plan to make progress on at least one of these important goals," said State Health Officer Seth Foldy.
The objectives also hit on some hot-button issues that may make the plan politically unpalatable. A push for universal pre-kindergarten, for example, would stretch currently strained public education budgets even further. Elsewhere in the plan the Department of Health Services states it's intent to "promote policies that assure societal norms regarding healthy sexual expression."
The document also includes several obscure policy goals, including one proposal to "Allocate funding to establish the use of electronic methods of payment at farmers markets."
Critics assailed the plan as an attempt to grow government and increase taxes.
"It is ironic that the day after the Supreme Court ruled the Doyle administration's raid of the patient compensation fund was unconstitutional that the Democrats announce they won't address that issue and instead will tie the next Governor's hands and force him to deal with it; meanwhile they unveil this expansive new plan to increase the cost, scope and size of government," said State Representative John Nygren (R-Marinette). "It is hypocrisy at its worst."
Wisconsin Statute Section 250.07 (1)(a) requires the Department to produce a public health agenda for the people of
"The vision, goals, and mission of this plan are anchored in a set of core values that form the moral and aspirational compass for the plan,' writes Department of Health Services Secretary Karen Timberlake at the beginning of the proposal. "These include using science and evidence to solve problems, set policy, and take action; striving for fairness and justice; relying on leadership at all levels; and seeking to prevent rather than treat disease, injury, and disability."
According to the Department, more than 1,500 people statewide participated in the development of the plan, and implementation is scheduled to begin this fall. The objectives outlined in the vast document will be integrated into the work of foundations, universities, state and local government agencies, private industries and healthcare organizations.

The green philosophy: You're fat and you have everyone else to blame
Most of us in cheese curd/custard/brat land could lose some weight. I know I could.
I am not in denial. That treasure chest of excuses could be opened rather easily. Not enough exercise. Eating the wrong things at the wrong time. Can't be too bad because TV adds 15 pounds.
Excuses. That's what they are. People who are overweight are overweight because they allowed themselves by their own choices and behavior to become overweight.
Now, if I was a flaming, tree-hugging hyper enviro, I could cleanse myself on any personal responsibility because, silly, a fat person isn't to blame for being fat.
I know this because the green web site, Treehugger.com says so. Treehugger bills itself as "the leading media outlet dedicated to driving sustainability mainstream. Partial to a modern aesthetic, we strive to be a one-stop shop for green news, solutions, and product information."
You can just see the beads and sandals, can't you?
If you're fat, it's not because you've been planting your sorry posterior in front of the TV and computer too much. It's not because you sleep with bags of Doritos. It's not because your favorite dessert is prime rib.
Lo and behold, Treehugger.com says don't stress, El Gordo. You can't help it, Tubbo. Here are the evil forces responsible for you floating over stadiums:
Cul de Sacs
Gender Bender chemicals
The government
Cheap gas
There's a McDonald's near you, I bet
Your zip code

How do you spell, 'Democrats'?

Biden pulls out all the stops, demonstrating how frantic the Democrats are about their own prospects this November.

Q: What does Barack Obama call lunch with a convicted felon?
A: A fund raiser. -Jay Leno
Q: What's the difference between Obama's cabinet and a penitentiary?
A: One is filled with tax evaders, blackmailers and threats to society. The other is for housing prisoners. -David Letterman
Q: If Nancy Pelosi and Obama were on a boat in the middle of the ocean and it started to sink, who would be saved?

We have well-intentioned leaders at City Hall. They are to be commended for ebbing public servants. If only they'd read the papers and watch the news more often. We are in a recession. Time to stop taxing and spending was a long time ago.
We have great businesses, just not enough. We need more. Could we pull back on the obnoxious rules and regulations?
We have good restaurants, just not enough of them. We need more. One of two great ones would be nice.
Ditto for retail stores.
Schools? We're not MPS by any means. But our schools could use improvement, especially in student achievement. The management of our system, especially our School Board, needs something close to a miracle to provide any sort of leadership.
There is no reason for a Franklin school tax increase this year
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is reporting the
How should the Jesse James Gang, officially known as the Franklin School Board react? If they had any semblance of fiscal responsibility, they would vote for a school levy property tax increase of 0% or downright close.
But they won't.
It's not in their nature.
They will whine and cry that the increase isn't big enough.
It never is, fellow taxpayers.

We're not exactly a rock 'n' rollin', rootin' tootin' town, and that's ok.
Is it the right mix? Depends who you ask.
Some say we're not enough Flintstones anymore. Some say we're not enough Jetsons.
There's enough of each, I believe to satisfy.
Deserving special recognition: City Clerk Sandi Wesolowski. We're glad to have her back from the State Elections Board (now the Government Accountability Board).
Also, City Attorney Jesse Wesolowski. I've heard city insiders say he's the best municipal attorney in the state. That one is hard to argue with.
Goodnight everyone, and have a great American weekend!
It's Friday night. Time to unwind with our regular Friday night feature on This Just In.
The weekend has finally arrived.
The sun has set.

"Every economist who's looked at it has said the (stimulus) did its job. It put a brake on the collapse of the economy. It avoided another Great Depression, and now it's growing again. It's hard to argue sometimes that things would have been a lot worse. People say unemployment is still at 9.6 percent but it's not at 12 or 13 or 15. The stock market didn't fully recover, but it's recovered more than people expected last year. That's part of the challenge in delivering (the message of) all the Recovery Act accomplished. Things are still tough, they're just not as bad as they could have been."

Time and again we hear reports of their excellent work. And some city officials actually thought about cutting their budgets last year?
We owe these departments our support and gratitude.
We're not crime-free, but you get a strong sense of security and safety living here. That is due, in large part, to the work of our fine police chief and officers.
I wouldn't advise it, but there are plenty of places in the 53132 zip code where you could leave your doors unlocked. OK, Chief Oliva, stop cringing. But you get my point.

Here are, in my view, interesting, noteworthy columns and articles from the past week that I highly recommend (You will note that on occasion, I do not endorse the opinions of the author and may point that out. Despite my disagreements, I still feel the piece is worth a read).
President Barack Magoo's 'The Economy is headed in the right direction'
"Fresh from his over-hyped pratfall from the Oval Office that left Americans not only wondering if the president actually cared about the Gulf oil spill more than cap-and-tax but also worried that even his teleprompter skills were failing him, President Obama rushed to Racine Wisconsin Wednesday to deliver what must have been the test drive for his stump speech between now and November.
It crashed, and with it, hopes of Americans for some common sense on the faltering economy and of Democrats for a theme on which to build or even a paragraph of talking points for the fall's contests.
'The economy is headed in the right direction,' the president told his gathering of usual suspects in a city where unemployment hovers at 14%.
No, really, he said that."
Obama concedes loss of US House
"Obama is sinking in the polls. The White House can do the Bloody Mary 'Happy Talk' song from 'South Pacific.' But, the reality is 15 million people are looking for work and there is nothing the Administration has proposed which is dealing with that."
Running on Empty
"The Obama presidency is nearly out of gas. So are the Democratic majorities in the Senate and House. Yet the White House and congressional Democrats aren't surrendering. They're still intoxicated with their 'historic majorities' and bent on enacting more landmark liberal legislation this year, including cap and trade, a value-added tax (VAT), and who knows what else.
Are they fantasizing? Not entirely. The odds—and the political climate—are against them. But their ideological ambitions are undiminished and they have a sense of urgency. They know their majorities will be crippled (if not eliminated) in the midterm elections on November 2, which means they must enact the remaining parts of the agenda in 2010 or put them back in the cupboard of liberal dreams, maybe for decades. So it's now or never."
Obama's Oil Spill To-Do List
"Here are the first ten actions President Obama can take immediately to help solve the crisis in the Gulf."
Get ready for the tanning tax
"The tanning industry is just the latest victim of government paternalism, putting it in the same category as cigarettes, alcohol, gambling, sodas, trans fats, junk food and other targets of so-called 'sin taxes.'
Desperate for revenue and lacking the guts to curtail big special-interest tax breaks such as the employer-provided health insurance exclusion or the mortgage interest deduction, congressional leaders and the president have singled out a politically vulnerable target. Kind of like a pride of lions singling out the weakest wildebeest."
Team USA Loses, Lets MSM, Barack Hussein Obama, Entire World Down
"We've blown it once again, another great opportunity to win the biggest sporting event on the planet and
I thought this was our year. The world was supposed to love us. We were told that during the 2008 Presidential election that all we had to do was put Barack Hussein Obama in office, and the world would love us. Instead, what do we get? We get horrible calls where goals are being taken away from us by World Cup officials who are either blind, or they haven't heard that Obama is now our President."
This July 4th, remember the founders
"Certainly the United States would not be here without the Founders, the greatest generation in American history, but perhaps a better way of answering the questions is by simply considering whether the United States is the federal republic of the Founders' design or has it been "remade" as Barack Obama continues to suggest."
4th of July dialogue
"A 4th of July conversation between Dude - a teenager - and his Uncle Sam...
"Republicans believe every day is the Fourth of July.....
...but the Democrats believe every day is April 15."

The Year of My Mother: The charming July 4th police officer
It was an annual Independence Day ritual. All the neighborhood kids ranging in age from 7-10 would gather that night on our street corner where we could easily see the
One particular July 4 evening, while waiting for the pyrotechnic extravaganza, we were playing with---GASP ---lit sparklers.
Yeh, yeh, I know. Those suckers can get to a temperature of 100-thousand degrees and you can lose an arm and a leg and never have kids. Funny thing. No one I know back then ever got hurt the least bit.
We'd wave those babies in our hands around and around, and when they'd go out, somehow we'd mange to light another one without having to call for an ambulance. I think we had one of those long sticks that we used to call mosquito chasers stuck into the ground and we used it to light our sparklers.
My mother was in the vicinity and being the cool mom, she was letting us enjoy ourselves.
And then it happened. I'm not exactly sure who but I think it was dumb Susie from next door, tossed a sparkler high into the night air. When it landed, the sparkler was in the road, just as a squad car was turning the corner.
The vehicle stopped, and an officer got out.
Now in those days, young-ins respected the police, out of fear.
For a split second, I expected the obligatory lecture about being crazy and foolish, that sparklers were dangerous and could get up to 100-thousand degrees, and we could poke somebody's eye out.
In honor of

We have well-intentioned leaders at City Hall. They are to be commended for being public servants. If only they'd read the papers and watch the news more often. We are in a recession. Time to stop taxing and spending was a long time ago.
We have great businesses, just not enough. We need more. Could we pull back on the obnoxious rules and regulations?
We have good restaurants, again, just not enough. We need more. One or two great ones would be nice.
Ditto for retail stores.
Schools? We're not MPS by any means. But our schools could use improvement, especially in student achievement. The management of our system, especially our School Board needs something close to a miracle to provide any sort of leadership.

Our biggest blemishes that actually got the attention of a sleepy public the last few years:
Boomgaard. This is the best your PR group could come up with?
Mayor Taylor, a political figure, and his staff that work for a politician may have engaged in political work in a political building popularly known as City Hall.
Things generally are pretty ho-hum around here, so quiet that some reckless writers have to invent controversy in a feeble attempt to make themselves relevant.
Not only politically.
We're not exactly a rock 'n' rollin', rootin' tootin' town, and that's ok.
Is it the right mix? Depends who you ask.
Some say we're not enough Flintstones anymore. Some say we're not enough Jetsons.
There's enough of each, I believe, to satisfy.
Deserving special recognition: City Clerk Sandi Wesolowski. We're glad to have her back from the State Elections Board (now the Government Accountability Board).
Also, City Attorney Jesse Wesolowski. I've heard city insiders say he's the best municipal attorney in the state. That one is hard to argue with.
One more reason to oppose the smoking ban
By now, most are aware that today is the start of
Let's be clear. I don't smoke. Never have. I don't particularly like the smell of smoke. Don't like it seeping into my nice clothes. Though legal, smoking, in my view, is unhealthy and downright stupid. Even so, I don't support the smoking ban for many reasons I've outlined in previous blogs.
Here's another. I've read the law and am fully aware of its specifics. Smoking is now off limits in many areas including veteran's homes in
Think about it. A soldier that had an arm or leg or more blown off while fighting for our country, now sitting in a wheelchair or lying in a bed in a veteran's home is no longer allowed the simple pleasure of lighting a cigarette.
Meanwhile, Potawatomi and other casinos that helped bankroll Governor Doyle's campaigns to the tune of millions were conveniently left exempt. Despite the fact casinos rest on tribal grounds, the Governor's office has historically negotiated provisions of gaming compacts. I'm pretty sure the Doyle administration never intended to even suggest smoking be restricted at the casinos he owed mighty big favors.
One of the arguments made by proponents of the ban was that individuals shouldn't have to work in unhealthy environments. Apparently the health of casino employees isn't nearly as important as workers in other occupations and settings.
But the veteran's home inclusion is upsetting. Telling a disabled veteran he/she can't smoke a cigarette is even more disgusting than the smoke the ban supporters hate so much.

Having worked in the broadcast business in some form or fashion all my adult professional career, I'll bet local TV stations and Time Warner had their share of busybody complaint calls from folks upset their favorite soap operas or Jerry Springer low life-a-thons were broken into, over and over again.
Shame on them.
These announcements were necessary. Lives were at stake.
The Amber Alert System is an example of one of the best collaborations between government and the private sector.

50 Random Facts That Make You Wonder What In The World Has Happened To America
From the blog, The Economic Collapse:
"Do you ever just sit back and wonder what in the world has happened to
Here is the list I talked about today on Newstalk 1130 WISN:
Air conditioning: A liberal nightmare
Why is it liberals aren't happy unless they're unhappy, taking all our comforts away? Remember, this comes as a stifling heat wave is gripping many parts of the nation.
Stan Cox has written what I'm sure is a riveting, captivating book:
In a book review for the lefty web site, Salon.com, Ryan Brown writes:
"In the last half century, air conditioning has joined fireworks, swimming pools and charred hamburgers as a ubiquitous ingredient of an American summer. It's no exaggeration to say it has changed the way this country functions, shaping everything from where we're willing to live (Las Vegas, anyone?) to the amount of sex we have (more: It's never too hot to get it on when the A.C. is blasting). Nine out of 10 new homes in this country are built with central air conditioning, and Americans now use as much electricity to power our A.C. as the entire continent of Africa uses for, well, everything. It has so thoroughly scrambled our way of life that when the National Academy of Engineering chose its 20 greatest engineering accomplishments of the last century, A.C. not only made the list, it clocked in ahead of spacecraft, highways and even the Internet.
But as science writer Stan Cox argues in his new book, the dizzying rise of air conditioning comes at a steep personal and societal price. We stay inside longer, exercise less, and get sick more often — and the electricity used to power all that A.C. is helping push the fast-forward button on global warming. The invention has also changed American politics: Love it or hate it, refrigerated cooling has been a major boon to the Republican Party. The advent of A.C. helped launch the massive Southern and Western population growth that's transformed our electoral map in the last half century. Cox navigates all of these scientific and social angles with relative ease, providing a clear explanation of how A.C. made the leap from luxury to necessity in the
That no good A.C.! Why should we live and work in comfort! And who knew A.C. was such an integral part of the immense success the GOP enjoys!
Maybe Stan Cox, Ryan Brown and their disciples should step to the plate and be the first to live outside, eat outside, sleep outside, work outside when the thermometer is hitting 100 before I even give this foolishness a second thought.

The Year of My Mother: Don't worry about me, just get the groom to the church!
Mom and Dad got married on this day. Forgive me, I don't recall the year, but it's over 60 years ago.
One of the wedding pictures shows Mom in her wedding dress looking in a mirror. The photo was taken from behind the bride so you see her smiling reflection in the mirror as she playfully adjusts her veil. Unbeknownst to Mom, when Jennifer and I got married, Jennifer asked our photographer to shoot a similar picture of her. Both photos were then placed side by side as one, a gift for our mother. That picture now sits in our bedroom.
The wedding, seriously, almost didn't happen. It was almost like something out of a Dick Van Dyke episode.
Dad spent the night before the wedding at his brother's house, my Uncle Claude. The previous evening was not a wild one, but dad overslept anyway. If it weren't for my Aunt Rose who furiously woke him up, the standard joke for years and years was that Dad would have missed the most important day of his life. (Think about that, folks. Where would I be?)
For the longest time, Dad jokingly blamed Rose Fischer (a saint of a woman, BTW) for his lot in life.
When Dad used to watch My Fair Lady, he wasn't laughing.
But Mom sure was.

MUST SEE VIDEO: "The larger the national debt, the wealthier we are"
Watch a pompous, arrogant, condescending, rude Democrat, Congressman Pete Stark (CA) lose his cool during an interview in which he proclaims, "The larger the national debt, the wealthier we are."
No wonder the economy is in the toilet.
Pay close attention to the interview. Sounds like the Congressman is racist.
Let's give credit to some Democrats......no, really!
First, this prelude.
The news media, especially those in print, report as though the only time the Legislature is in action, it's akin to a pro wrestling cage match.
I can assure you that legislators from both parties and their staff members actually like each other, respect each other, and play nice together most of the time. But that certainly wouldn't sell any papers when your circulation has dropped lower than the Equator
I chuckle at the dozens of bloggers (liberal, conservative and a few who claim they are conservative but really aren't) who actually think they have a clue about Madison politics despite the fact they never venture out of their own SE WI zip code.
Driving to Madison today, I heard state Senator Jeff Plale (D-South Milwaukee) spilling his guts to WTMJ Radio that probably made Governor (choo-choo) Doyle and every light rail-loving liberal go into orbit.
Plale wants $200,000,000 or more of that $800,000,000 in federal stimulus for a choo-choo train between
Incidentally, I blogged about this issue on June 16, 2010 after it was reported in the Daily Reporter, a full three weeks before the snoozing Milwaukee Journal Sentinel caught on.
Joining Plale is state Representative Christine Sinicki (D-Milwaukee)
Now, I've known both Plale and Sinicki for years and years and years, Sinicki more than Plale. That dates back to my public radio years (Sorry, Christine).
The press would have you believe that Plale, Sinicki, and I would never be caught dead enjoying each other's company in the same room or phone booth.
Listen up!
Plale and Sinicki are right.
Why should we spend over $800,000 on a dubious project years down the road that few will ride rather than fix a lifeline that is vital to our local economy?
By the way, I work in politics. I get that both Plale and Sinicki are up for election. Hello, idiots in the mainstream media and blogosphere. I've also known them both and we have called ourselves friends for years. I believe Plale and Sinicki truly mean what they say. And they're right.
Fix the damn
BTW: This blog has nothing to do with the fact that on the day before Ash Wednesday, Senator Plale invites me into his office for paczkis and Polish sausage.
If that's the case, DC, you can take your stimulus $$$ back
I praised Democrats, state Senator Jeff Plale and state Representative Christine Sinicki for their stance that some stimulus money earmarked for exorbitantly foolish high speed rail between Milwaukee and someplace in Madison (Jim Doyle can't make up his mind and has already incompetently suggested three possible stops in Dane County) be used to fix the crumbling Hoan Bridge.
I am stunned that my lefty friends in the blogosphere have not raced to their terminals to extol me abundantly.
Plale and Sinicki correctly argue money is needed on the already existing
Another Democrat has weighed in, this time through a mouthpiece. From the Daily Reporter:
"David Frey, spokesman for Congresswoman Gwen Moore, D-Wis., said the high-speed rail money cannot be shifted.
No pro sports story is this important
Print reporters and columnists think they are really, really, really smart.
I know because I have worked with them for over 32 years.
The fact is they're no more intelligent than anybody else. What's more, they're incredibly bad dressers and tippers. Comes with being so liberal.
Exhibit A: Cleveland Plain Dealer sports writer columnist Brian Windhorst. Windhorst covers the Cleveland Cavaliers, who, as of this posting, could be losing LeBron James to the Miami Heat in free agency, a story that has gone way beyond over-hyped.
In May, Windhorst said this on the Dan Patrick show on ESPN Radio about the possible move of James to another NBA squad:
"I wish I had a better analogy for it but if he does do that it will be like a nuclear bomb hitting here because number one, the city will be devastated on many, many fronts: emotionally, physically, infrastructurally…"
Yes, Brian, if LeBron packs his bags, roads and bridges will crumble and deteriorate. Fans will jump out windows because they'll be so distressed.
Today, Windhorst repeated his stupidity again on ESPN Radio:
"The nuclear bomb is about to hit. There will be massive fallout here and LeBron will be radioactive for years. If LeBron has already left his house, I assume he has, I hope he's packed for a good long time. Because he can't come back. It's a nuclear bomb and LeBron's going to be radioactive here for as long as a radioactive bomb is … 50 years, whatever the case may be."
Dear Brian:
1) Get a grip.
2) The world will not come to an end.
3) For God's sake, buy a dictionary and look up, "hyperbole."

Robbery hero loses public support after he sues bank

He was a true hero until he phoned his lawyer. Most "heroes" are happy to get a plaque or certificate, a key to the city. They don't make monetary demands.
Richard Camp should have accepted what the bak offerd, expressed sincere gratitude, and then made a public appeal for assistance. because he ran to an attorney, his credibility in the court of public opinion diminished and hurt his chances of any outpouring of financial support.

The Barking Lot (07/10/10)
Thanks, Jennifer.
The Barking Lot is a regular weekly feature of this just in…Written by my lovely wife, Jennifer and me. It opens with the weekend dog walking forecast followed by the main blog from dog lover, Jennifer. Then it's DOGS IN THE NEWS and our close. Enjoy!
THE WEEKEND DOG-WALKING FORECAST: We grade the weather outlook for taking your pet outdoors.
TODAY: Sunny. Only a slight chance of an afternoon shower. High of 86. "A"
SUNDAY: Sunny and warm. High of 87. "A"
Here's my lovely wife, Jennifer with this week's main blog:
Several years ago I met two friends, Sara and Michele, at Panera Bread for coffee and "girl talk." It was also a chance for two of us to meet Bailey, Sara's newly adopted dog. It was a beautiful day and we wanted to have our caffeinated beverages outdoors anyhow, so Sara thought it was a great idea to bring him along. It turns out she was right.
We sat at a table next to a couple who brought their cat. Yes, you read correctly, a CAT. Never in my life had I ever seen a CAT sit outside, nicely, and enjoy the company of others. It's just not what cats do. (Cats don't do a lot to begin with, much less sip a latte.)
Bailey and "Mr. Hairball" made fast friends. They sniffed each other, Bailey's tail wagged and Mr. Hairball just sat there. I don't mean that in a critical way, he willingly and calmly sat while Bailey sniffed, wagged, and pleaded with doggy eyes to play with him. I guess calmly sitting was about all Bailey could ask for or expect. Still, it was a cute interaction with two species whose discord has made for great cartoons for decades.
But… Consider… What if fellow diners are afraid of dogs or simply don't like them? Why are we exposing the wait staff and others to such health hazards as fleas, dog bites (no guarantees that Fido is up-to-date on his shots) or asthmatic attacks. Patrons and workers alike shouldn't have to deal with things that could cause them harm!
My point, inspired by yesterday's Milwaukee Journal Sentinel feature on local canine-friendly eateries, is that in the midst of this recently-enacted crazy smoking ban, restaurants are opening their arms to pooches on their porches. Do you mean to tell me that Fido can hang out on a patio and even get a complimentary treat while the next paying customer has to put on his or her "ashamed/I'm sorry" face for lighting up in a designated OUTDOOR puff place?
C'mon. Every one of the Barking Lot readers knows how crazy nuts I am for dogs. I don't mind the concept of dog-friendly restaurants. But if we were so concerned for those poor workers who had no choice but to work in a smoke-filled restaurant or bar that we had to create a law banning a legal practice, what are we telling those same people as we expose them to these?

Yeh, I wonder how patrons, not to mention the City Health Department would react if dogs were tableside at Lake Park Bistro?

"When I became the NASA Administrator – before I became the NASA Administrator - he charged me with three things: One was that he wanted me to re-inspire children to want to get into science and math, that he wanted me to expand our international relationships, and third, and perhaps foremost, he wanted me to find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with predominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science, math, and engineering."

Jackson County District Attorney Gerald R. Fox said in a statement he will no longer prosecute Wisconsin's prohibitions on carrying concealed weapons, transporting uncased or loaded guns in vehicles, carrying guns in public buildings and taverns and carrying switchblades and butterfly knives. He said the Supreme Court's ruling this week that Americans have a right to own a gun for self-defense renders those statutes unconstitutional.

Here are, in my view, interesting, noteworthy columns and articles from the past week that I highly recommend (You will note that on occasion, I do not endorse the opinions of the author and may point that out. Despite my disagreements, I still feel the piece is worth a read).
The Massachusetts Health-Care "Train Wreck"
"President Obama said earlier this year that the health-care bill that Congress passed three months ago is 'essentially identical' to the Massachusetts universal coverage plan that then-Gov. Mitt Romney signed into law in 2006. No one but Mr. Romney disagrees. As events are now unfolding, the
Whitewashing Black Racism
"If a tea-party activist threatened to kill the babies of his political opponents, it wouldn't just be front-page news. It would be the subject of Democrat-led congressional investigations, a series of terrified New York Times columns about the perilous "climate of hate," a Justice Department probe by Attorney General Eric Holder, a domestic terror alert from Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, and another Important Teachable Moment Speech/Summit from Healer-in-Chief Barack Obama. But with the racism shoe on the other foot, Team Obama and its media water-carriers are exhibiting the very racial cowardice Holder once purported to condemn."
Ringo and the Politics of 'Hope'
"What with Democrats unable thus far to deliver job growth, assertion becomes the White House's mode of discourse: first, that Democratic recovery strategies 'are working'; second that we're in charge of this show -- we, your government."
Illegal Immigration Costs US $113 Billion a Year
"The single largest cost to the government of illegal immigration, according to the report, is an estimated $52 billion spent on schooling the children of illegals. 'Nearly all those costs are absorbed by state and local governments,' the report states. Moreover, the study's breakdown of costs on a state-by-state basis shows that in states with the largest number of illegals, the costs of illegal immigration are often greater than current, crippling budget deficits."
The new frontier: 'Covering' conservatives
"For a few days at the end of June, Beltway pundits were consumed with the ballad of David Weigel, a blogger for The Washington Post, briefly assigned to cover the 'conservative beat.'
And just what is the conservative beat?
Well, according to many of the nation's leading editors, it's that shadowy, often-sinister world where carbon based-life forms of a generally humanoid appearance say and do things relating to, and supportive of, conservative causes and the Republican Party. These strange creatures have been observed using complex tools, caring and nurturing their young and even participating in complex social rituals. Most worship an unseen sky god that traces its roots back to the ancient
And that is why many of our leading journalistic enterprises have found it worthwhile to assign full-time reporters to the task of spelunking through the dark caves of conservatism to better understand these fascinating, if vaguely worrisome, beings."
The Whoreification of Miley Cyrus
"What has happened to the little 'Hannah Montana' star? What is it about young female Disney stars whoring themselves out in order to prove they've reached adulthood? Since when does having sex or being sexy qualify one as an adult? And, where is Billy Ray Cyrus? Too busy whoring out his daughter in order to rejuvenate and advance his own long-forgotten career?"

"Feingold is only Democrat against financial reform bill"
It's called, job preservation.
The bill's in trouble, probably going nowhere, so Feingold takes a symbolic stand in an attempt to fool more people into thin king that he's nobody's Senator but yours. Oh, wait. That's our other tax and spend liberal Senator in
Feingold must think Wisconsinites are pretty stupid as he pulls out one of the oldest tricks in the Democrat playbook: When it comes down to crunch time in an election, move to the right. Listen to this laughable ad he's released.
"If the business climate does not improve, I will not expand this (WI) facility"
I never miss John Torinus' Sunday column in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's business section. Today's piece was exceptional, one that should be read and heeded by every
Torinus quotes Jerry Ryder, president of InSinkErator from a WisconsinEye interview:
"If the business climate does not improve, I will not expand this facility."
The author makes this critical observation:
"Most CEOs are reluctant to speak out about their disgust with government policy, but several have let it be known in business circles that they have no intention of expanding their operations in this state."
Many business leaders have spoken out. The problem is, no one in power in
Torinus also writes:
"Several CEOs are downright sulfurous in their private assessments about doing business in
Call them crybabies if you like. But these are the guys making the decisions about where jobs are retained, reduced or added.
And, not so incidentally, they are human beings. They want to be liked and appreciated. They look for signals, and if they don't like what they see and hear, they go elsewhere."

The serious, sad truth is that far too many concoctions push way, way, way over the edge. One man's culinary nirvana is another's cardiac arrest.
Health.com, God love them, utilizing the ultimate research techniques, has broken down the heart attacks waiting to strike geographically. That's right. Health.com has deemed that in each and every state in our great country, there is one fatty food that stands out as the fattiest.

Did you know that polls can be "bended?"
I've been involved in politics for years and years, and I had no idea that polls could be "bended."
Ace Franklin blogger Greg Kowalski who has never met a big tax or spending plan he didn't love to death because, after all, he doesn't have to pay for it, penned another one of his gems without utilizing spell check. This time, sly ol' Greg was writing about tornado sirens. He wants them installed in Franklin even though there are many solid reasons not to. And oh, yes, Greg loves to spend everybody else's money.
Let's see what the
"By the way, the Franklin Today poll on the sirens is pretty close. 47% of those who voted said YES for sirens, 53% said NO. Given the notion that polls can be bended depending on which side is more passionate, I'd give the sway at least 2-3%, leaving the poll at 50-50. No surprise there for me."
I challenge our tax and spend liberal to:
1) Define "bended"
2) Define how polls can be "bended"
3) Find "bended" in a dictionary
4) Explain how a poll that has a percentage margin of 6 points is really a dead even poll.
I generally don't write about Greg. His ineptness and political naivete is extremely obvious, and every blogger makes a typo now and then. Greg…..he thrives on butchering the English language. This one was a gift.

"If we can't cut four and a half cents on the buck, then what the hell are we doing here?"
It is impossible to meet and know state Senator Michael Ellis (R-Neenah) as I have for many, many years and not love the guy.
No one captivates the listening audience when the state Senate is on the floor than Ellis who is so persuasive he even gets the liberal Capitol press corp and Senate Democrats chuckling and fighting nodding in agreement. I always try to pay attention as to which Senate Democrat will foolishly rise after Ellis is through speaking and try to follow. More often than not, it's Robert Wirch from
No one, I mean absolutely no one other than possibly Bob Lang of the Wisconsin Legislative Fiscal Bureau knows the state budget inside out as well as Ellis. The senator from time to time will invite the media into his office and dissect the budget on his office blackboard. It's the truest picture of the numbers they'll get anywhere because trust me, the Capitol press corps, unless it's spoon fed to them, won't write about it.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is reporting that Ellis is proposing the Legislature make across the board cuts of 4.5% to address the state's $2.5 billion structural deficit.
"If we can't cut four and a half cents on the buck, then what the hell are we doing here?" said Ellis.
More from the Journal Sentinel:
"His plan would include reductions to aid for public schools and local governments. He said lawmakers should bar local officials from making up the cuts with increased property taxes."
The state has been generous year after year after year. Well guess what? The state is broke to the tune of $2.5 billion. Yet some will scream for more state aid. It ain't there, folks.
Unless you want big fat tax increase, Ellis' way is the way to go.

UPDATE: Air conditioning: A liberal nightmare
Last week, I featured a review written by Salon's Ryan Brown about Stan Cox's book, "Losing Our Cool: Uncomfortable Truths About Our Air-Conditioned World (and
Brown writes, "Stan Cox argues in his new book, the dizzying rise of air conditioning comes at a steep personal and societal price……providing a clear explanation of how A.C. made the leap from luxury to necessity in the
We've paid "a steep personal and societal price" for not sweating to death.
AC will cause us to "refrigerate ourselves into the apocalypse."
This week, the kooky flako author speaks out on his own in the Washington Post. Wacko Stan Cox says cranking up the ACs duirng intense heat and humidity "isn't smart." You hear that. If you turned on your air the past week, you're stupid.
AC, you idiots, is evil.
Cue the kumbaya music…
"Saying goodbye to A.C. means saying hello to the world. With more people spending more time outdoors -- particularly in the late afternoon and evening, when temperatures fall more quickly outside than they do inside -- neighborhoods see a boom in spontaneous summertime socializing. Rather than cowering alone in chilly home-entertainment rooms, neighbors get to know one another. Because there are more people outside, streets in high-crime areas become safer."
Most outrageous is Cox's diminishing of the jeopardy living without AC brings. According to the National
Slate (Another source I'm sure Stan Cox is aware of) reports, "Heat waves kill more people in the
That's small potatoes according to Cox:
"A.C.'s obvious public-health benefits during severe heat waves do not justify its lavish use in everyday life for months on end."
Without supporting data, Cox makes the ridiculous claim that turning off the AC reduces heat deaths.
I just love the thought processes of liberals. Hope Cox has stocked up mightily on Right Guard.
Will somebody ask a critical question at tonight's Franklin Common Council meeting?
Tonight, the spend-happy and increasingly disappointing Franklin Common Council considers a resolution awarding a bid to the lowest bidder for furnishing and installing tornado warning sirens.
When the city is in a serious deficit, just how are we going to pay for them?
Hey Franklin, did you get your assessment notice in the mail?
What did it say?
Did the value of your property DECREASE?
If you're not planning to sell in the near future, you probably breathed a sigh of relief.
So, your assessment went DOWN. You're probably thinking, your property taxes are going DOWN, right?
Check your zip code, folks! You reside in Tax Hell
It is the most serious highway robbery for tax levies to go up when property values go down.
But that's what's going to happen come December.
These people and especially these stick up artists CANNOT WAIT to raise your taxes,
Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but at least you can do something about it, right now, by contacting the local people in charge of your tax bill before they start working on their budgets. When they ignore you, and ultimately, they will, boot them out of office.
By the way, this goes for all Wisconsin taxpayers, whether you live in

Kyla's Korner- Musings of a Mother (07/14/10)
By Jennifer Fischer
Mother of beautiful angel, Kyla
Like fellow FranklinNOW blogger Debbie Maley, I enjoy walking down memory lane about our dear sweet Kyla. Mark and Debbie have been blessed a few months longer with Kobi than we have with our daughter, but so many things in her recent blog had me smiling and shaking my head in agreement.
Time has been going by so quickly in the life of our little angel. This week was a first for our family, as we went to the Franklin Public Library to enjoy a Summer Rhyme Time class with Kyla. With the silly songs, splashing in tubs filled with water, and making new friends, I'm not sure who enjoyed the morning more: Mommy & Daddy, or Baby. This will definitely be one of those precious memories like Debbie enjoys remembering.

I will buy this wig again
By Reyne
from Lakeland
I have been wearing wigs while growing out my perm. I am all natural now but was looking for a short style to go to because its so hot here in Florida. I liked this style and wanted to see how it would look if I decided to cut and perm. I have now decided to delay and just wear this wig for now because it looks so natural.
