Elmbrook School Board At-Large Candidate Forum: Tuesday, Feb. 2
Just a reminder that tomorrow, Tuesday, February 2nd, is the only chance to compare all 6 candidates running for the 2 At-Large positions on the School Board.
The At-Large Candidate Forum will be held in the Elmbrook Administrative Office Board Room at the Central Offices from 7 - 9 pm, 13780 Hope Street, in Brookfield. (Hope Street is a few blocks north of Capitol Drive.)
Funding and increasing the school budget will be an important topic at the forum. Keep in mind that increasing funding often goes hand in hand with raising taxes. Example: adding 4K does increase the money coming into Elmbrook but as an additional expense to the taxpayers of Elmbrook and Wisconsin.
The top 4 candidates that make it through the primary on Feb. 16th will advance to the April 6th ballot.
After the primary, there will be another School Board Candidate Forum that will include the top 4 At-Large candidates and the Area II candidates: Board member Glen Allgaier and challenger Ilse Frayer. This one will also be at Elmbrook's Administrative Offices on March 16th, 7-9pm.
Both forums are sponsored by the Elmbrook Parent Leadership Council.
All Elmbrook residents vote for ALL of the school board candidates.
Hope you can make it to both events. If not, if you have cable TV, they will be broadcast on the district's channel after the 2nd and 16th.
Can't say I came away from mayoral forum with, That's the one!
Last night I attended the 3rd City of Brookfield Mayoral Forum. I am pleased to report the event was well attended by an audience of about 120 AND all 4 mayoral candidates!
There really weren't any surprises for me except a little tension between David Marcello and Steve Ponto with the what would your top priority as mayor be question. This was a forum format, not a debate, but even so, there was a little attempt at back and forth between Marcello and Ponto.
Candidate Marcello stated taxes were a key issue--we needed to return to a 1.5% of assessed value rate, that all of our taxing entities have to work together [to achieve this]. We need someone focused on it [low taxes] who won't buy into raising just a little each year. The reality is we can't support high taxes anymore.
Candidate Steve Ponto said his priority would be to maintain our level of services without raising taxes and do it through shared services. Regarding the 1.5 rate, he said he discussed it with Robert Scott, then added that the city couldn't function at that rate, it would reduce city revenue by $12 million and [the city] might lose its AAA bond rating.
Voters always like to hear about candidates who are interested in lowering taxes, but with our mayoral candidate selection, they all have been in local government and haven't exactly bucked the system to knock out spending. For example, although I am not sure about Schellinger's position, the other 3 candidates all supported the $62.2 million high school referendum--certainly a tax raising, not a tax cutting decision.
So I have to ask, how sincere are they about lowering taxes? I can't help but think if they had a finite dollar amount to work with, rather than waving the magic tax levy rate wand, they would be able to find programs or services to cut?
I'm afraid I still did not come away with any strong sense of who to vote for on Feb. 16th.
How about you?
Afterward, there was time for a little political schmoozing. There were a number of aldermen in the audience as well as candidates for aldermen. I happened to sit behind Sheila Buechel during the mayor Q&A. I noticed Sheila because she was taking notes during the forum, and I wondered if she might be a reporter. When we got up to leave, I noted she was wearing a button that stated her name and candidacy for District 5, so I introduced myself. I found out she is running against Gary Mahkorn.
State Assembly District 14 Candidates David Coon and Dale Kooyenga, both Brookfield residents, were also there. I've met with both David and Dale and like their platforms, so their faces were familiar. Chris Slinker, another 14th Assembly District candidate, (Tosa resident) introduced himself to me. Like I said, it was schmooze time.
I caught school board members Tom Gehl and Glen Allgiaer on my way out. As I mentioned before, Glen Allgaier has my enthusiastic support for the Area II school board race. (All of Elmbrook votes for all of the school board candidates, regardless of which area they are from.)
Enough of schmoozing; it was time for snoozing!
BrookfieldNOW Live Blog of Feb. 4th Forum
Call NOW: We can't afford Doyle's AB 649 Global Warming/Clean Energy Jobs Act
How ironic. The State Senate Public Hearings for Governor Doyle's Global Warming Clean Energy Jobs Act are scheduled for today and tomorrow, Feb. 10th and 11th, just after one of our biggest blizzards of the year. There is one more Assembly hearing on Feb 15th. (By the way, if you can go to Madison, you don't have to stay to state your opposition. You can just fill out and submit a form, and it will be counted as testimony. Hearings are held at 10am in room 412 or 411 south.)
And all of this job killing, expensive nonsense is based on what? "...a glut of ongoing recent discoveries of systematic [global warming data]fraud has rocked the foundation, and the entire man-made global warming house of cards is not teetering on the verge of complete collapse."
Yet Governor Doyle and most of the State Democrats are still pushing full steam ahead on the Clean Energy Jobs Act AB 649.
In reality, AB 649 is just a reheated leftover of Governor Doyle's Global Warming Bill. It came about from his Global Warming Task Force that did not take into account the cost of their drastic measures, nor did it factor in jobs lost in Wisconsin due to its implementation.
The Governor just can't let go of the idea that Global Warming is man made or that his Don Quixote attempt to single handily tilt at windmills, or should I say mandate windmills, is not going to change the temperature of the planet by one degree. So like so many other unwanted ideas, we rename them as a jobs bill. Trouble is, this is a jobs killer bill.
You may have heard the 2 radio ads running regarding Governor Doyle's Global Warming Clean Energy Jobs Act, AB 649 / S 450. The ad against AB 649 from the WMC is straight forward, stating how it will raise energy prices for the average family by $1,000/year and kill jobs in Wisconsin.
The pro version by the Potawatomi sounds more like a fairy tale, talking about a factory in Wisconsin Rapids building wind propellers and biomass plant in Wausau. It ends with "protect Mother Earth so she can provide for all of us." Nauseating.
The Clean Energy Jobs Act calls for reducing CO2 emissions by 75% by 2050. (Is that even possible?) Plus a 25% renewable fuel mandate by 2025. (For Wisconsin, primarily it's wind.) That means increasing the amount of renewable energy by more than 20% in just 15 years. Is there even enough land available for all those windmills to meet the standards? They require such a huge landmass, and most people don't want to live near wind farms.
Windmills also require lots of wind--not too much and not too little, for they cannot generate at either extreme. Last week, Senator Glenn Grothman mentioned on Vicki McKenna's radio show that Wisconsin doesn't have enough wind to meet Doyle's requirements. Our windmills would be outsourced to North Dakota and Iowa!
If we were really interested in reducing CO2 and increasing jobs, we would repeal the moratorium on nuclear power plants. The bill does mention nuclear, but only after the renewable criteria is met.
Representative Jim Ott testified last week about the fallacies of clean, green energy helping Wisconsinites. It is worth reading. What makes Rep. Ott's testimony even more compelling is that he is a Meteorologist. He certainly knows about weather and the atmosphere!
Does Wisconsin even need additional electricity generating capacity? NO.
The Oak Creek coal fired power plant just came online. It is "a $2.3 billion colossus capable of generating enough electricity to power 1 million homes - power that even state regulators concede isn't needed now." (Oak Creek could power almost half the homes in Wisconsin alone. One third of its $2.3 B cost was for environmental controls.)
We need to stop this. I know we all hate doing it, but call, Call, CALL our State Senators and Representatives and call key Senate members who support this atrocious bill. Rep. Ott said we just need 2 Democrats to vote NO to stop this expensive job killer. You can also sign a petition: Save Jobs! Stop the Global Warming Bill!
Remind legislators that Wisconsin is home to the world's 2 largest coal mining equipment manufacturers: Joy Global and Bucyrus. How is taxing coal and promoting wind going to help them and their employees?
Senator Jim Sullivan (866) 817-6061 Remind State Senator Sullivan that he is facing a tough reelection race this fall from Rep. Leah Vukmir. When I called Sullivan's office, the young man taking calls didn't know much at all about the bill, the public hearings or that Oak Creek came online, giving us excess electricity production.
Senator Jeff Plale Co-sponsor of the bill, (608) 266-7505 Campaigned on a tax freeze and as a moderate to help blue collar workers.
Senator John Lehman (608) 266-1832 Or (866) 615-7510 Like Sullivan, he is facing a tough reelection.

Follow the money: Why are Potawatomis pushing Clean Energy Jobs Act?
While driving home yesterday, I heard the Potawatomi's latest ad supporting the Clean Energy Jobs Act. I don't know why I didn't think of it before, but it came to me, why are they pushing this so? In other words, if we follow the money--what is in it for them? Would they maybe be leasing land for windmills?
I emailed radio talk show hosts Vicki McKenna and Jay Weber when I came home to see if they knew. (Didn't hear back.) Later on, I Googled for some info and found this surprise:
"DOE [Department of Energy] Awards $20.5 Million in Recovery Funds for Five Community Renewable Energy Projects: U.S. Department of Energy Secretary Steven Chu on January 21st announced the selection of five projects to receive more than $20.5 million from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to support deployment of community-based renewable energy projects, such as biomass, wind and solar installations." ...
..."Forest County Potawatomi Tribe (Forest County, WI)
The Forest County Potawatomi Tribe proposes to implement an integrated renewable energy deployment plan that will provide heating, cooling and electricity for the Tribe's governmental buildings, displacing natural gas and propane. The renewable energy installations will include: a 1.25 MW biomass combined heat and power facility that will provide heating, cooling and electricity; a biogas digester and 150 kW generation facility; three 100 kW wind turbines (788,400 kWh/year); and three dual-axis 2.88 kW solar PV panels (14,000 kWh/yr) located at the Tribe's Governmental Center. DOE share: $2,500,000"
Tuesday's Primary Ballot Picks
Well, I can't put this off any longer; people are asking who I am supporting for City of Brookfield Mayor and Elmbrook School Board. The primary election is tomorrow, Tuesday, Feb. 16th, 7am - 8pm.
For once the City of Brookfield and Elmbrook School District have a wider field of candidates. What disappoints me is that we don't have more choices as far as ideology. But choose we must--I don't advocate sitting an election out.
One of the mayoral candidates looks good on paper to me, but a candidacy is more than just words written in campaign literature or spoken during a forum. There is the man behind the words to consider too. So of the 4 candidates running for mayor, I am considering 2: Ponto and Speaker.
For Mayor of Brookfield, I am voting for Alderman Steve Ponto in the primary. Ponto was my first choice in that I felt he would be more professional in his approach to being mayor. But I was toying with voting for Mayor Jeff Speaker too, which is saying a lot, considering I fully supported Cindy Kilkenny's platform and worked on her campaign 4 years ago.
I did meet with Steve to discuss his campaign. One thing I could wholeheartedly agree with was his desire to protect the single family home's property values. He also echoed a concern of mine that multi family housing does not contribute enough in property taxes to support the school district. (There is the possibility for school age children to be living in larger apartments/condos.) Ponto also stated he does not support light rail--I don't know that any of the other candidates stated that. (They all support, to some extent, high speed rail.)
So much has changed in Brookfield since the 2006 election, and I don't believe it was for the better. We moved the fire stations and widened Calhboun Road south in preparation for VK's Percheron Square (which because of the economy didn't materialize) and I-94 interchange. The city would say we needed these changes; I would respectfully disagree. We also increased the density at Brookfield Square with the 3 out buildings.
During the last mayoral forum, we heard about the candidates' stance on low- to middle-income housing. Ponto said there were "many options" in Brookfield and that he didn't support any government-subsidized housing.
Mayor Speaker came out in favor of the Workforce Housing slated for the mixed use development next to Brookfield Square. This is housing that would be affordable for people who work in the area. He said this was not low-income housing. The workforce housing is already in the works as far as I know.
As for Elmbrook School Board, we are to choose 2 school board candidates out of the field of 6, then the top 4 advance. I am voting for Kathryn Wilson. I met with Kathryn to discuss her candidacy last month. Curriculum seems to be her strength. Kathryn is well acquainted with the needs of the struggling student as well as the gifted student.
Is she as conservative as I am? No. But I think she would look for ways to cut waste and keep valuable programs in place. I have not decided on a 2nd candidate.
School Board member Glen Allgaier will be on the April ballot for Area II. He will get my very enthusiastic vote at that time.
Am I making any predictions about Tuesday's results? No.
I do wonder if David Marcello will come out fairly strong though. His signs seem to be on more homeowner's property than what I have seen for Ponto or Speaker. This could just be because of the roads I travel in Brookfield.
Marcello's campaign contributions were higher than I expected. According to the article in BrookfieldNOW, Marcello raised $5,270 from outside sources. This is 3rd to Speaker's $6,120 and Ponto's $6,176 outside sources.
I would think Marcello's and Ponto's supporters would be more enthusiastic than Speakers? (Incumbent's supporters usually don't turn out in the same numbers as the opposition.)
Remember this? Four years ago our Kinsey Park Neighborhood Association* hosted a mayoral candidate forum before the primary. Mayor Speaker, however, declined our invitation to participate. Reason? The mayor said, "I've been advised not to by my campaign committee, after the primary, I'll do debates."
This election cycle, Mayor Speaker has participated in 3 pre-primary debates. Why the change? Last time, Speaker didn't really have to worry about not making it through the primary. This time, I think he has had to take his challengers a bit more seriously. The outcome will be interesting.

Pre-primary Mayoral Forums: 1 down, 1 today, 1 Feb. 4th
How about that? It's Speaker and Ponto!
The results are in for the mayoral primary: Speaker and Ponto advance to the April 6th election.
Here are the vote tallies:
- Speaker - 2,116
- Ponto - 1,556
- Marcello - 1,051
- Schellinger - 457
Total votes cast - 5,180
I was curious how this vote count compared to the last mayoral primary in 2006. So I looked back 4 years to Kilkenny and Speaker advance in a neck and neck race & Heinrich and Mellone advance in district 6. To my surprise, the turnout was less 4 years ago than it was today.
- Kilkenny - 1,706
- Speaker - 1,697
- Schellinger- 614
Call today about AB 751: Elimination of Electoral College Bill - Correction/Update
Have you heard about this new bill in Madison, AB 751, The National Popular Vote Bill? I doubt that you have unless you listen to Vicki McKenna or WVCY. The Public Hearing is today.
But don't feel like you have been asleep at the wheel, the bill was only just introduced 2 days ago on Monday, Feb. 15, 2010. Also on Monday, they announced the Public Hearing for today, Wednesday, Feb. 17th at 1pm.
Think they are trying to ram this one through below the radar? (I heard Vicki mention it yesterday. She also talked about it today in her first 45 minutes. Do listen to the first hour for Wed. Feb 17. I then Googled the bill number and found WVCY's Homefront blog page on it.)
The actual bill proposes "entering into an agreement among the states to elect the president of the United States by means of a national popular vote."
Now at first blush, that might not seem like a bad idea, to just count the popular vote. But think about it. If popular vote alone decided elections, the most population dense states would dictate who our president is. The top 3 states being California, New York and Texas. Urban areas would decide for us all. Even if you factor in the top 10 states, like Pennsylvania, Michigan, Iowa, Illinois, etc. Wisconsin is still not a player. So what about the other 40 states in the Union?
If this change goes through, why would any presidential candidate bother coming to Wisconsin?
An even more insidious aspect of this bill is that
it calls for a Constitutional Convention (Correction, it doesn't call for it ) it SIDESTEPS the Constitution to make the change from the Electoral College to Popular Vote. (More on that below the legislator info.)

Counting only the popular vote flies in the face of the wisdom of our Founding Fathers, who realized they had to balance the influence of densely populated states with those of less population. That is why we have a House of Representatives, whose membership is based on population, balanced by the Senate, that gives every state the same number of representatives. In a similar way, the Popular Vote is balanced by the Electoral College.
As I mentioned above, this bill
would call for a Constitutional Convention SIDESTEPS the Constitutional amendment process to make the change from the Electoral College to Popular Vote.
(A Constitutional Convention isn't directly pertinent now but the concerns are still valid.) I still remember my high school American History teacher's warning about Constitutional Conventions. (My opinion on this goes way back!) She cautioned that once they are called, anything goes; it is all open to change, even the Bill of Rights!
This is what Eagle Forum says about Con Cons or Constitutional Conventions (Read the whole piece, it is worth your time. My emphasis is in red):
Another day, another call: With ObamaCare, Republicans should be Party of kNOw
We've been hearing about President Obama's desire to have Republicans take part in his February 25th televised bi-partisan summit to resurrect ObamaCare. The President says he wants the Republicans to come so he can listen to their ideas on health care. Really?
He and the Democrats in Congress haven't listened so far, why should they do it now? According to Rasmussen, 61% say Congress should start all over again on health care. Only 28% think we should work with the present ObamaCare bill. Why should we try to revive ObamaCare?
Yet the pressure for Republicans to come and make nice-nice is huge. Many of them fear being dubbed "The Party of NO" But it's OK to be the Party of NO when it's because you kNOw ObamaCare will be a disaster for the American people and economy. I don't want my representatives to compromise with tyranny.
Plus, if someone invites you so he can listen, and they already have their bill in hand, are they really wanting to listen? I think the invitation is more of a Come into my parlor said the spider to the fly invite.
From what I can glean, House Minority Leader John Boehner was firmly against any kind of meeting to compromise on the Democrat's ObamaCare bill. No matter how they try to wrap up that bill, be it adding the pretty paper of tort reform or a bow of shopping across state lines, the package still amounts to the government taking over our health care!
If you want Republicans to stand firm against attending the televised ObamaCare summit, you better let them know. Yes, that means calling.
Come on, it's not that bad. It only takes a minute to dial and say something like, I would like to encourage/ask Representative or Senator ------- to NOT attend the President's Health Care Summit on Feb. 25th and stand firmly against the present bill in any shape or form. Please start over from scratch.
Contact numbers: The House seems pretty set on not attending but encourage them anyway:
Congressman John Boehner (202) 225-6205
Congressman Eric Cantor 202.225-2815
Congressman Mike Pence (202) 225-3021
The Senate leadership doesn't seem as resolute on not attending or starting over from scratch. They need to hear from you.
Senator Mitch McConnell Minority Leader (202) 224-2541
Senator Jon Kyl
The President wants the public to see that Republicans are there with him on ObamaCare reform. Let's face it, many Americans do not bother to follow the issues. If they see everyone playing nice/nice on TV in this photo-op, they might think Republicans approve of the government's takeover of our health care system.
True healthcare reform is too big an issue to tackle in one bill. In my opinion, it should be worked on issue by issue, not passed in some 2,000 page monster. For example: Start with just tort reform. Then allow shopping across state lines for health insurance. Make reducing Medicare fraud and waste a separate measure. These changes have all been suggested by Republicans.
The only reason we haven't passed ObamaCare thus far has been the opposition from the American people bothering to put the pressure on by attending rallies and making calls. So, make that call. What do you have to lose?

Rubio, oh Rubio, wherefore art thou? Our country and state need one like you
Have you been following the Florida Senate race between Republican Governor Charlie Christ and Florida House Speaker Marco Rubio? For some time now, I have. If your are a conservative, it is very exciting. I first heard about Marco Rubio from my favorite national talk show host, Mark Levin, who describes Rubio as a solid conservative. (When Levin is in his quiet, serious mode, he is superb.)
I finally got to watch all of Marco Rubio's speech at CPAC and I have to agree--he is a solid conservative. Rubio believes that in the United States you can become anything you are willing to work hard to be. If he remains true to his conservative Tea Party roots, I would love to see him as President some day.
But for the present, he is challenging Gov. Crist for Senate. In case you don't remember, Gov. Charlie Crist gave John McCain the blessing during the primary and we pretty much have him to thank for pushing McCain onto the ballot, so to speak. Crist also supported for Obama's Stimulus bill before it was passed. Marco Rubio's rise in popularity shows that the conservative message resonates with voters. Rubio's poll numbers have grown from just 8% back in April 2009, to neck and neck in December, to taking the lead this year.
Although Rubio didn't get the network CPAC media hype that Ron Paul* and Glen Beck received (neither of which are consistent enough in their message for my taste) even non-conservatives are paying attention to Rubio.
See if you agree. Here is a sample of his speech that I transcribed:
"...The...thing people want are leaders that will come to Washington D.C. to stand up to this big government agenda; not be co-opted by it. After all, the U.S. Senate already has one Arlen Specter too many!
Americans do want leaders to come to Washington D.C. to get things done, but that comes with an important caveat: It depends what they are trying to do! If they are working to lower tax rates, simplify the tax code, they want us to work together. If they are working to get control of runaway debt and deficits, if they are working to defeat radical Islam and the threat it imposes, they want us to work together.
However if the goal is to abandon America's free enterprise economy, convert America into a submissive member of the international community, is not to fix America but to change America, then they want leaders who will fight it every step of the way.
Finally, voters are looking for leaders that will offer a clear alternative. This severe economic downturn is a perfect time to embrace and reinvigorate the free enterprise economy, not to abandon it. Jobs aren't created by politicians, they are created by people who are willing to use their money to start a business or expand an existing one. They are looking for clear signs from Washington that they are serious about pro growth policies, about controlling spending and ending the practice of monitizing our budget shortfalls." (Then some tough talk about dealing with terrorists.)
"Like those Americans that came before us, we rose to face the challenges of our time. Like those Americans who came before us we made the right choice, and because we did at least for one generation, the American miracle lived on." Do watch the complete speech, it is worth your 26 minutes.
Strange Political Bedfellows: Glad Doyle's veto held
It is often said that politics makes strange bedfellows. Or as I often say, if you wait long enough, you will eventually find an issue you agree on, even with someone at the other end of the political spectrum.
Well yesterday, Governor Doyle and I had our first common ground victory when his veto on the bill to take the right to appoint the Secretary of the DNR from the Governor held, with a 58-38 vote. (They needed 64 yes votes to override; the 38 no votes came from Rep. 34, Dems 3, Ind. 1)
That seems a bit strange, that Gov. Doyle and I would want the same thing, doesn't it? Well, this is even stranger. About 3/4 of the Assembly Republicans voted against the veto override.
Here are some reasons why: (my emphasis)
"The vote was a huge loss for environmental groups and most of the state's conservation organizations, which had long pushed for a change in the law. They felt this year was their best chance."
"Opponents, many of them Republicans , said the governor is an important check on the power of the DNR. They also objected to language from the Senate that would have given senators authority to ratify secretary appointments."
Public Option BadgerCare Basic Plus Insurance up for Senate vote today, call before 11am!
If you have never called a State Senator about a bill before, call about this one! * Why?
BadgerCare Basic Plus, Wisconsin's own version of a public option health insurance plan, has been called worse than ObamaCare for Wisconsin. So call before 11 am today, Feb. 25th to voice your opposition.
Now you would think at a time of raging billions of dollar deficits in Wisconsin that the Democrats in the legislature would hesitate to bring yet another expensive entitlement program to the floor. But then again, I said, you would think.
I heard Mark Belling say Wednesday, that the bill was on the Senate floor on Tuesday for a vote, but Decker pulled it back to committee after a few amendments failed to pass. He knew he didn't have the votes. (Lena Taylor was absent.)
But BadgerCare Core Plus will return to the State Senate floor, Thursday, Feb. 25th, at 11 am. That is why it is so important to call your State Senator before then--especially if he is Jim Sullivan or the other key Senators facing tough reelections.
In a nutshell, BadgerCare Plus Basic is a very inexpensive public option health insurance plan. It costs only $130 a month. It covers major medical, generic drugs, and a few other things. It is a no frills type policy. It also covers pre-existing conditions.
Now how on earth can our state offer this insurance at such a low price? They got a $1million dollar Federal grant to pay for it. Even with the grant, how can this work? How can this pay for itself as the pro Democrats insist? Rep. Mike Huebsch writes, "Enrollment in the state's healthcare programs exceeds 1 million for the first time in Wisconsin history – about 18 percent of the state's population." We cannot afford adding more.
There are 18 Democrats and 15 Republicans in the State Senate. Since 1 Democrat already said she isn't voting for it, that leaves just 1 making or breaking this bill. That is why it is so important you call! (Find your State Senator)
If you haven't called the key State Senators, you still have a chance before this is voted on. Senator Jim Sullivan (866) 817-6061 Remind State Senator Sullivan that he is facing a tough reelection race this fall from Rep. Leah Vukmir.
Senator Jeff Plale Co-sponsor of the bill, (608) 266-7505 He campaigned on a tax freeze and as a moderate.
Senator John Lehman (608) 266-1832 Or (866) 615-7510 Like Sullivan, he is facing a tough reelection.
Private insurance companies will be put at a disadvantage since they are not allowed to offer such a stripped down policy. They also are not allowed to reimburse Doctors and Hospitals at Medicaid rates--that means private payer rates go up to compensate.
According to Doyle pushing BadgerCare Plus-worse than Obamacare for Wisconsin-Call your legislators,
"Sullivan, Vinehout and Sen. Pat Kreitlow (D–Chippewa Falls) have written an amendment that would require the state Department of Health Services to confirm monthly that those who sign up for the Basic plan are eligible for it and the Core plan; inform potential enrollees of other public and private health-care plans; and report quarterly to the Legislature's Joint Finance Committee on the solvency of the Basic plan."
Will you see the Dead Sea Scrolls? Want to learn more?
Are you planning on seeing the special Dead Sea Scrolls exhibit at the Milwaukee Public Museum? I have heard it is spectacular. It is the largest special exhibit our museum has ever produced. The Dead Sea Scrolls have been traveling the museum special exhibit circuit in the U.S., but this one, I have heard, incorporates even more artifacts into the exhibition.
OnMilwaukee.com has an in depth account of the exhibit in Stunning "Dead Sea Scrolls" a trove of history Their posting states "faith is not a prerequisite for marveling at 'Dead Sea Scrolls and the Bible: Ancient Artifacts, Timeless Treasures.'" In other words, it is an exhibit anyone can benefit from.
Usually I like to familiarize myself with the subject of a special exhibit before I attend. Knowing what to look for ahead of time makes my experience that much more meaningful. Sure, I have read one of the books and some info on the scroll discovery over the years, but knowing more of the background information enhances my exhibit experience.
Fortunately, my Sunday School teacher, Dr. Gary Gulan is presenting a special Dead Sea Scroll Seminar this weekend, with lots of slides. If you would like to attend, just contact me and I will give you the specifics.
I am going to see the exhibit mid March. (I'll try to do a follow up post.) You have until June 6th to see it. And speaking of seeing it, On Milwuakee suggest bringing your reading glasses. Good idea.
It sounds like the Milwuakee Public Museum outdid themselves on this one. It shouldn't be missed.
Still think Republicans are Party of NO or that there is no difference?
How many times have we heard from the Democrats that the Republicans are the Party of NO? How many times do we hear that there is no difference between Democrats and Republicans?
Well, if you watched any of yesterday's Obama summit, you now know differently. The Republicans utilized their 110 minutes of speaking time to their best advantage, compared to the President repeating the same old / same old for 119 minutes and the Democrats prattling on for 114 minutes.
My favorite Democrat prattle was the one where Rep. Louise Slaughter told the story of one constituent who was forced to wear her dead sister's false teeth as a reason to pass ObamaCare. Trouble is, ObamaCare has nothing to do with dental care!
Contrast Ms. Slaughter's moment in the limelight with Congressman Paul Ryan's 6 minute synopsis of the Republican's idea of health care reform vs. the Obama plan [YouTube]. Ryan skillfully reminded the President of his pledge to not sign a bill that adds one single dime to the deficit.
Ryan then gave some facts on how ObamaCare does not reduce the deficit, and how it double counts offsets. He stated that in the first 10 years ObamaCare really runs a $460 Billion deficit and in the next 10 years, a 1.4 Trillion deficit. Clearly the differences were pretty stark.
It is true that Republicans in the past often went along with irresponsible spending, but compared to the Democrats this past year, they now look like tightwads.
But on a far more serious front, consider the 2 parties positions on abortion. Here the difference is night and day with Democrats being pro death and Republicans being pro life. I would beg to differ with those saying there is no difference between the 2 parties, because it makes a HUGE difference to the unborn baby.
And that difference goes back to the differences in health care reform, with the Democrats allowing taxpayer money to fund abortion and the Republicans opposing.

More Boor Than Cure, The summit persuaded nobody. It probably wasn't meant to: Lamar Alexander, "It's not appropriate" to rewrite the rules of 17% of the U.S. economy through what is called 'reconciliation.' [51 vote procedure] Don't go 'jamming it through.' 'Let's start over'."
Rebuttals To Ryan? We're Still Waiting: "Rep. Paul Ryan's pointed questions went conspicuously unanswered at the big health care summit."
At summit, Obama mostly hears Obama
Speaking of LISTENING, Congressman Jim Sensenbrenner, Representative Leah Vukmir and other State Legislators are holding a Town Hall Meeting this Saturday, February 27th, at 1 p.m. at the Brookfield Public Safety Building.

Alex Jones is Bill Hicks!?
Has anyone looked into the evidence that Alex Jones is actually Bill Hicks!? I'd looked into this claim briefly before and remember telling a well-meaning commenter that it was "the stupidest internet meme ever," to whom I must apologize and admit there is certainly much more evidence for this claim than I'd originally realized.
To begin with Alex and Bill look almost exactly alike and their facial recognition matches 100% only it appears Alex has had a nose job, a face-lift and gotten considerably fatter than Bill ever was. Alex definitely dyes his hair, they have two identical moles on the right side of their necks, and even their teeth are a perfect match. They are both famous funny Texans who constantly talk about conspiracy / "truther" type subjects, and they are both very quick to frustration and anger, Alex being well-known for his screaming rants and Bill known for shouting down his audiences and even naming an album "Rant in E Minor."
Bill wasn't born in Texas but moved there as a teenager and always idolized cowboys and the Texan spirit. Bill allegedly died of cancer in 1994 but he had no public funeral; Alex came on the scene shortly after Bill's passing and has no verifiable history before 1994. Alex claims to have gone to Anderson high school but when people call up, Anderson says they have no record of him.
Bill Hicks' best friend, camera man and producer, co-creator of Sacred Cow productions, was Kevin Booth. Shortly after Bill's passing, Kevin became Alex Jones' good friend, camera-man and producer! Bill, Alex, and Kevin were all 3 very outspoken and involved with the Waco, Texas Branch Davidian debacle and there exists video of Kevin and Bill in 1993 outside the Davidian house before the final conflict but no video of Alex. However, a year or two later after Bill's passing, Kevin was out there again, this time with Alex filming a Waco documentary and rebuilding the Waco church! You can also see here at a Bill Hicks' 10th Anniversary event, Kevin Booth gets on stage, shows a Hicks' documentary then says with a smirk, "maybe in some way Bill Hicks is still here with us now" and presents a framed plaque with Bill's portrait to none other than Alex Jones! WTF!?
Alex claims to be only 39 years old right now, though even after all the plastic surgery, he still looks considerably older. If he was really Bill Hicks then Alex would be 53 now which is closer to Alex's apparent age. Bill Hicks was also a long-time cigarette smoker and Alex claims to have fought a life-long battle with cigarette addiction himself. Their names even follow the same 4-letter 5-letter pattern, Bill/Alex Hicks/Jones.
Director Richard Linklater was a big fan of Bill Hicks and lamented never being able to work with him, then later Linklater launched Alex Jones' film career giving him roles in Waking Life and A Scanner Darkly. Bill was well-respected in the comedy community and today Alex is good friends with famous comedians like Joe Rogan and Charlie Sheen. Bill was also a big fan of Andy Kaufman, the comedian who would go to great lengths to disguise himself and create separate personas, much like it seems Bill is doing with this "Alex" character.
Is Alex Jones really Bill Hicks? And if so, why? Did TPTB get to Bill and force him to work for them? Perhaps they agreed to cure Bill's cancer if he agreed to "die" and be reborn as Alex? Or is it all just an incredible coincidence? What does everyone else think? Watch the following videos and leave a comment what you think!

Take a look at the information at cluesforum.info and wellaware1.com The truth appears to lie between these two premises.

- Eric Dubay said...
That cluesforum looks great, but the wellaware1 site is really stretching it with some absurd allegations.
- February 12, 2013 at 9:35 AM
Wellaware1 is short on proof for sure, but don't throw out the baby with the bathwater. Wellaware1 started with the Gabby (Gif)fords shooting and this alleged congresswoman is allegedly married to an alleged astronaut. If the shooting was a hoax, that means it would only be logical that all top govt. (including congress) is aware of it.
- February 12, 2013 at 10:54 AM

hey eric...what are your thoughts on the 2pac 7-day theory...there's lots of evidence to support this theory all over youtube which suggests that he might still be alive..
- February 12, 2013 at 11:52 AM
- Gary said...
Dude you just blew me away. I never ever thought about this before. I remember Bill Hicks a bit. I used to have the Tool cd "Aenima" when I was younger, and that album had the little drawing of him in it, and I'm not sure but think it also had the samples of him that famous saying he had "I think drugs have done some good things in our lives"

As freaky as the likeness and coincidences are I recon it's gotta be utter bollocks-have you seen the man attempt stand up?! ;-) www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MNdfiBIuCc&feature=youtube_gdata_player hope life is treating you well Eric, Jim
- February 12, 2013 at 2:07 PM
Wellaware1 may seem out there at first and certainly much of the information is lacking in definitive proof; nevertheless the work there all started very with compelling research into the alleged shooting of the congressperson known as Gabby (Gif)ford's and this person is allegedly married to an alleged astronaut (which cluesforum has very adequately shown to be smoke and mirrors). Logic should dictate the individuals serving in high levels of govt. and congress are aware of all of this and when you let that sink in, the implications are almost without end.
- February 12, 2013 at 2:36 PM
- Eric Dubay said...
Thanks for all the comments! The Giffords shooting is beyond suspicious, we had a good thread going on the Atlantean forum regarding that. Some of Wellaware1's matches looked convincing but others were silly and completely unfounded... to my sensibilities that site looks like typical disinfo mixing a bit of truth in with a heck of a lot more crap. I haven't heard of the 2Pac theory, but I definitely think fake celebrity deaths are more common than we realize. And Jim, I think you're right, the best evidence against this theory is how much funnier Bill was than Alex ever could be! Peace
- February 12, 2013 at 6:07 PM
- Gary said...
Haha yeah, Alex isn't near as funny as Bill Hicks was. I hope it's a coincidence.
As far as the 2Pac thing, Eric I researched those theories for nearly 3 years and I couldn't find anything that made me truly believe he faked his death. When he came out of prison, he was very very pissed off. I think he ran his mouth too much and it ended up getting him killed.
He had a song "Against All Odds" the people he mentioned in that song like Haitian Jack, that's essentially who had him shot up back in 1994. There was reports of him talking to Tupac before he was murdered and he told him that if he kept running his mouth, they would have him shot again, but this time he wasn't going to survive. God it's going to drive me nuts until I can remember the other guy's name in that.
The first time 2pac got shot, it was meant to be a warning for him to keep his mouth shut. The second time, they were shutting him up cause he couldn't stop. When he got out of jail he just exploded in anger. He was very very pissed off when taking into account the things he was saying on those records.
- February 12, 2013 at 7:04 PM
- Eric Dubay said...
Hey Gary, good points, I haven't looked too extensively into the Tupac situation, but I don't doubt that many celebrities who speak out are silenced. I was looking more into Michael Jackson last week and it sure seems like he was murdered because of all his activism. It's so sad that all these sincere people who get fame and sucked into the system can't really get out and can't speak out. I think Dave Chappelle was doing his best to cryptically tell everyone this before he left for Africa.

So I found this on another blog:
At 42:30:
After bawling out everybody at the Austin, TX DMV over having to thumb scan to get his license renewed, in his typical blustery, overwrought, Limbaugh-esque delivery, you hear a voiceover (ostensibly given by Jones himself, as he narrates it in first person). Only now, the bellowing baritone is gone, replaced with the eerily familiar and slightly adenoidal cadences of the late Bill Hicks. There is no possible way this voiceover was delivered by Jones. It's not just that the tone and timbre of the voice has changed; the accent, timing, volume, and tempo have become completely unrecognizable and incomparable to the voice heard just moments before. If AJ isn't really Bill Hicks, he sure was channeling him at some point during the editing of this film.
- February 13, 2013 at 12:06 PM
The path of searching for the so-called truth is filled with false turns, dead ends and discarded notions. However, as one endeavors to peel back the layers of the proverbial onion and gain a deeper understanding, one may indeed find that certain things are not as complicated as they previously believed.
Is it possible that the truth of what is going on in many ways is much simpler than what most people (that consider themselves awake) believe, but also much harder to accept? Could the so-called "powers that be" collectively operate things very similar to the "Wizard" in "The Wizard of Oz"? Do they really require help from aliens, 100 year advanced technology or supernatural abilities; or is it possible that they simply make use of the technology of the times, relative secrecy and the power of media to implement whatever agenda they feel compelled to initiate? Maybe they are not cold blooded killers and are at most just fomenting war in such a manner that tempts people that can be duped into spilling the blood of their brothers and sisters into doing so? Does it require a lot of thought to discern who is really committing the greater wrong in this equation? Recall the story of "leading a horse" somewhere.
Perhaps, we allow them to continue to conduct a "Circus of Fools" by falling for the same old tricks time and time again; thereby exercising our free will desire to continue to be deceived?

Close, but no cigar
Their ears are different--that is usually the telling factor, but then again, he could get plastic surgery on the ears, but I think Bill's eyes are a tad closer together than Alex's eyes.
Very close, but I say no cigar!
You may want to check out Paul & Faul McCartney--the real deal was killed back on 11/9/66 (ooh, those numbers smell of something dastardly!!!)

I am also well aware of wellare1, and yeah, he's really streeeeeeetching on many of his comparisons.
Alhtough I agree on the Christina Applegate analysis--I recalled seeing a personality on TV a while ago, and I thought something looked identical to Christina Applegate's eyes--they have a kind of close together slightly crossed Linda Blair-ish type of look, and I do believe he hit it right on Christina Applegate.

I believe AJ is BH. Period. Too many similarities. I also believe if you use the basis that AJ is not as funny or BH would not do that or they are completely different in their ways... I would classify you as a moron.
- February 21, 2013 at 8:36 PM
Bill Hicks had his persona stolen on multiple occasions because people knew he had a big market that was untapped. Denis Leary stole his shit same like Alex Jones.. lets not all get wrapped up in the look a like crap guys.. have some respect for Bill. questioning things using a guy like alex jones only takes away from a great man in Bill Hicks.
If anyone actually watched Hicks, then they'd know jones can't compare.

What are they doing? Hiding as a non existent person so we wont be able to find them? Trying to confuse us. Trying to mock us? Trying to enrage us? If you are familiar with the crap of Ed Charini, he is to make anyone that believes look like the fool that he is. He doesn't exist anyway. His character is narrated by Charlie Sheen.
Is there some legitimate website that discusses and exposes these frauds in prosthetic make up; or willing to allow photo modifications on Google making them complicit in this gigantic hoax that we accept as reality? If it seems pretty far out there that is what I thought until I investigated myself. Some findings at:

Wow, you've got to be some crazy conspiracy theorist to think Alex Jones is the late Bill Hicks. Bill Hicks used comedy to entertain us and inform us of our bonds to an illogical society. Alex Jones uses fear mongering and weak ties to legitimize his "infowars" in which makes him a LOT of money each year. While I don't think our government is honest with us, and conspiracies do happen. Alex Jones is the last person I'd go to for information. He wants you scared, and he wants your money. I hear he was the originator of the "jump to conclusions mat." LuLz
- May 7, 2013 at 10:02 PM
I've got a conspiracy theory for you.
The Atlantean Conspiracy Theory is run by Alex Jones.
In an effort to make people think he is actually clever and intelligent Alex Jones has begun blogging under a pseudonym and making allegations that Bill Hicks turned himself into Alex Jones. He did a lot of great leg work, started blogging in 2008 and creating an entirely fictitious persona allegedly living in Thailand. But despite these great efforts, all the sweat from his furrows of worry and his big bank account have been useless. These allegations are already falling flat in the comments from his blogs audience.
It seems Jones can't seem to convince anyone but himself about this. This was a nice effort Jones, but better luck next time.

Lol, jump to conclusions mat :) And as for me being Alex Jones, that put a smile on my face, but anyone can confirm that I'm a real person in Thailand anytime, just schedule a session with me:
- May 8, 2013 at 5:38 PM
It's so obvious Alex is Bill. Wow! Same mannerisms, same facial expressions, same voice (pay close attention), same teeth, same shape of face, same jaded sense of humor. Minor things in the face are easy to change with the tech we have today, don't fool yourself with irrelevant tiny differences. There are so few of them!
Alex often kind of has a toying look like he's getting one over on us, pay close attention to his eyes. This finally makes sense after I realize they are the same person.
- May 12, 2013 at 6:55 PM
- Eric Dubay said...
Alex has a white spot right where Bill had a mole on the left side of his neck. Two other moles on the right side are still there. Alex's ears and nose are consistent with that of someone who had a facelift and nosejob. He clearly dyes his hair several different pigments, and his teeth are perfectly matched to Bill's.

Look at this! From Bill Hicks' 10th year anniversary of his "death" show. His best friend and producer Kevin Booth (now Alex Jones' friend and producer) says "maybe Bill Hicks is even here with us in some way" then he hands a plaque with Bill's face on it to Alex Jones! Why in the hell would Alex Jones be chosen to receive Bill's award!? Look at Kevin's face when he says "maybe Bill is even here with us in some way," he's trying to hold back a telling smile:

Great blog! It is my opinion AJ is not Bill Hicks. WHY would Hicks become AJ. D research on Hicks early demise. He died of pancreatic cancer people. I would believe Obama is Osama before I believe AJ is BH. Besides, so what if it is true. What difference does it make? As another poster pointed out, many have ripped off Bill Hick's persona. Hicks was a good man with a message of peace. Remember how he always ended his shows?

2 questions.
Eric, now what is your opinion on Jordan Maxwell & Bill Cooper?
Is there any chance of these 2 could be actually just one?
Which sites/personalities/politicians/etc are unequivocally insider disinformation agents?
Could you maybe generate a small list?
Thanks for all your hard work.

Hey Vic, I haven't really looked into the Bill Cooper / Jordan Maxwell idea... they do look somewhat similar, but that's all I know. River Phoenix and Mark Dice seem to be the same person... saw an interview with River before he "died" and the voice was 100% Mark Dice's. There's also that WellAware1 site however which makes some really stupid and ludicrous assertions about such doubles / dopplegangers / clones / whatever. I'm just a subjective interpreter of the available information myself so I cannot in good conscience make some kind of definitive list regarding who is a double or who is controlled opposition... instead I'm just using this website to catalog / database such info and keep this blogversation going with you all :) Thanks for the support! Peace
- June 7, 2013 at 11:48 PM
- Eric Dubay said...
Just watched another River Phoenix interview and the voice wasn't like Mark Dice's. Tough call, he's got an obvious mole on his left index finger which would be a dead give-away. CaliberHitter and MsSherrieLea have been analyzing him for a while... I think time will tell as more evidence comes to confirm on deny these actors.

Anybody who adored Bill Hicks and is even remotely if not seriously interested in the rantings of Alex Jones knows these aren't the same people. Bill Hicks genuinely wanted to make a difference in the world and it was readily transparent through his comedic routines, he might have hated the mindsets of most, but it just oozed through that he wanted to make a difference. I couldn't ever see that Bill Hicks becoming what Alex Jones is.. not buying it ever.
- June 8, 2013 at 1:58 AM
- Eric Dubay said...
I hear ya, but the physical evidence doesn't lie. It's possible that they MK-Ultra'd Bill and turned him to the dark side. Cured his cancer (if he even had it) then spoiled him with various evil pleasures of the elite (i.e. Bohemian Grove, AJ's playground) which turned Bill's good soul into Alex's shill soul.
- June 8, 2013 at 4:35 AM
There is a very interesting
article somewhere entitled:
"The Truth About the Truth
Movement: A List of Shills".
This article has an interesting
list the includes:
- Jones
- Icke
- Maxwell
- Hilder
- Tarpley
- Dice
- Marrs
- Celente
- Rense
- Watt
- Reves
- Rivero
- Bermas
- Makow
- Rudkowski
- Kokesh
- as well as their associates
Personally I think that this list is,
for the most part, quite correct yet
very incomplete.

One was a genius who tried to save us from ourselves, the other is a man who preaches division because that is the only talent he has.

Some people come back and the warn us, hey this is just a ride, and we...Kill those people. Infowars is in itself a voice for fear and hate. Don't be scared...

Yes, Alex Jones IS Bill Hicks. Alex Jones is a character created by Bill Hicks. To quote Alex, "Bill Hicks is my mother.".... Hicks GAVE BIRTH to the Alex Jones character... and has gotten very rich from it.

It seems IRONIC that those who grew up with BILL (or any other ACTOR, choose your promoted "ACT" and delivery medium...) as an "IDOL" of sorts... refuse to fathom, admit and ACCEPT the FACT that they were in fact DUPED, by a sophisticated theater, design... (or that you can go NOWHERE in "infotainment" w/o selling your SOUL to the machine!)
This is the OBJECTIVE of the PTB, people... AWAKEN from the b.s. smoke and mirrors screen that IS the TV, radio, print, education, news media, politics, business, war machine, entertainment, etc. and TUNE OUT while you can still CRITICALLY THINK and reanalyze, then DEPROGRAM yourselves from the propaganda of disinfo aimed at ALL OF us (worldwide...) from the time we started watching this CRAP on TV, or reading local to world "history," most of which isn't based on many FACTS, any more than the FAKE news slant is!
Alex is clearly an AGENT of disinfo (despite the many facts) because he SENSATIONALIZES,is paranoid, connects dots that don't connect and thereby spreads FEAR, which may ultimately foment a REACTION... that leads us to MARTIAL LAW? And the Bill Hicks character was fairly harmless, by comparison!
So IS AJ indeed "controlled opposition?" Or was BH simply sick of the "routine," having no real IMPACT, etc. (getting his message out to the masses?) that he bowed down to the PTB?? (Marketing and ads? Or full scale conversion??) It almost seems a combination of BOTH??? That's my take after a bit of comparison, watching and listening, anyway...

ODDS ARE that BOTH Bill Hicks AND Alex Jones are merely STAGE NAMES... If you were an attention whore for hire to gain a following, make a living and dupe people to get ATTENTION, FAME and MATERIAL WEALTH... would you want to use your REAL NAME?! And/or would your mentors to attorney (Mainly Zionist Jews, in AJ's case) advise you that "infotainment" is indeed, a "FREE RIDE..." and not to take life and the coned, ignoramus "sheeple," to SERIOUSLY?
Afterall... an EGOMANIAC is the perfect candidate to DUPE into the lifestyle of the "suedo- elite!" And BOTH character actor personas, CLEARLY had/have that much (and MUCH more...) IN COMMON!!

I'd like to share this. Bill Hicks and I incarnated on Earth on the exact same day: Dec 16, 1961.

Bill was one of the finest examples of an awakened human I've ever come across.
I truly believe Bill and I chose to come here together, born on the exact same day, with the intent of helping others see the illusion we live in.

been reading some of your comments & agree. when you add in the cloning centers, & i hear Alex has gone to one of them, start wondering who was a clone of who, even taking into account, yes, that Alex's career didn't start until Bill's death... bc the clones will do what the original person's shyness, morals, whatever, prevents them & maybe Bill did the fearless standup that original, Alex, couldn't muster? & from what i hear (haven't tried to find any), there's not much info on Alex prior to 1994. :) can ggl about clones & illuminati, unless you already know.

Reminds me of a youtube vid talking about them being a reincarnation of John Wilkes Booth :D
Kevin Booth :D
But I can't find it and I forgot the title :(
By the way did anyone stumble upon this:
About the birth of the hippie movement, which was really a controlled opposition strategy.
Question everything ;)

if this is true then bill is a fucking genius

This may be true, if it is this saddens me. But One thing comes to mind that i dont find suspicious, In one of bill hick's acts he is talking about using terminally ill people as "stuntmen" and says "you think thats cruel? ill tell you whats cruel, being in a steril room with a bunch of people you dont know before you die" i really believe the way he was that he wouldent go to a hospital to be injected with all kinds of shit he would go to be surrounded by his loved ones. But hey i dont know shit. Im just an 18 year old guy that loves bill hicks.

Why destroy the reputation and sterling work of a man like Hicks with foolishness of this calibre?
Hicks has been gone for 20 years today and I am sure, were he looking down, he would be hooting at the idiocy of it.
AJ and Hicks? They don't even come from the same species of intellect!

Lately I've been thinking about how awkwardly silent Maria Sharapova has been about her marriage and I decided to give the topic attention in hope of getting some insider/wise reader input. It's been almost two years since Masha and Sasha Vujacic got engaged and the topic of the wedding seems to be a far away subject on their minds, or they are playing such a game for the media. The question is, could they be hiding the split, postponing the worse, or they are just private and relaxed about their wedding plans?
First of all, no recent sightings of the couple have reached the media, while before, every now and then there was some story about them. Moreover, what happened to the giant engagement ring on Sharapova's left hand? According to the sharp eye of our reader Katrin, who pitched me to dig into this issue, the ring has been missing since about the start of the summer
That's not the only strange thing surrounding this story. Just days ago Sharapova said that the November Istanbul wedding was just a rumor: That's not true. I'm definitely not getting married in Istanbul in November. I'm surprised anyone believed that.
However, it's suspicious that in the interview for the september issue for Hamptons magazine, Maria didn't correct the interviewer! Hamptons: You're getting married to Sasha Vujacic, a Slovenian professional basketball player (who played for the Lakers and the Nets), on November 10 in Istanbul, Turkey. Do you see yourself one day becoming a mom?
Maria :For sure! My mother and I have a very close relationship, she had me when she was really young. I've missed that train, but absolutely, some day.
At the recent launch of Sugarpova, Maria's candy brand, E! interviewed the Russian and asked her about the wedding dress and she was very vague with her answer, as if she's not even thinking about marriage at this point. But once again, Sharapova is smart and she could just be distracting the media.Have you noticed the absence of the ring? Why could it be? Are we just more impatient that Maria and Sasha?

What Do you think about that friends??
The marriage is not something that you have to force someone to do.
It is not because everybody marries around you that you have to marry someone by chance.
It is not because you want a baby that you have to marry someone by chance.
Because for a sport person, it is better to marry at the right moment than divorce several times.
Many life Experiences of super stars showed us that when they marry early they divorce quickly.
For serious Sport persons, it is better to marry at least after their retirement from sport.
Each person has a destiny so we don't have to worry about Maria's marriage, she will find someone she will really love one day.
The success of a marriage is based on mutual love but not on interests.
The bible advices people to marry a good friend of their childhood.
We don't have to worry about Maria's marriage. We have to be happy that she is free to practice her favorite sport.
At this moment, Maria's health is more important than anything else. We wish her a lot of health.
It's a NON-ISSUE because Maria's not getting married just yet! According to Maria, her focus is primarily on TENNIS right now, and of course staying healthy. BTW, Dartagnan makes a very good point about the BIBLE.

Frida, You can't be a fan of Maria, writing a topic about her 'marriage'. This will be already the most weird, stupid topic of the year and it is only 2 days old.
Translate from french by Dartagnan: Depardieu (Figaro journal): RUSSIA is a great country which has a great history with rise and fall....and personally I love the slavonic people particularly the russian blond women and among them, I prefer Maria Sharapova !!!
DEPARDIEU (Figaro Journal): Je ne suis pas choqué la Russie est un grand pays qui a une grande histoire avec des périodes glorieuses et des périodes sombres ...et personnellement j'adore les slaves surtout les femmes blondes russes ,ma personnalité préférée c'est Maria Sharapova !!!
On January 3, President Putin issued an order that satisfies Mr. Depardieu's request to make him a Russian citizen.
"I am very grateful to Russia's authorities for making me a Russian citizen," Mr. Depardieu said in an interview to the main Russian TV channel. "I really love Russia. I love Russian people, Russian history, Russian literature. I love to play in Russian films. I love the Russian style of thinking. My father was a Communist and often listened to Radio Moscow, and my childhood memories are linked with that. I promise to learn Russian."

Pffff, who wants to live in your country, always colder and corrupt!!!!

The international non-governmental organization Transparency International (TI) presented on 14 May its assessment of the Dutch national integrity system. The report is part of the pan-European Anti-Corruption Initiative, supported by the European Commission and the Ministry of Security and Justice in the Netherlands. The purpose of this initiative is to assess and review of National Integrity Systems in 25 European countries, as well as to advocate for sustainable and effective reforms.
The study concluded that the country was vulnerable to corruption and there was a 'taboo' among people in the country to speak about corruption. Moreover, it found out that 'cooperation between public, social and private organisations in the realm of anti-corruption efforts is evaluated as being poor for the public sector, civil society and business.' TI explained that the reason for this lied in the limited conceptions of the extent of corruption in the country those organisations had.
According to the report, in the Netherlands 'anti-corruption initiatives are seldom developed by governmental or non-governmental organisations, or by business.' The study also mentioned the recent corruption scandals and the perception of the Dutch people that corruption has increased.
In addition, TI claimed that corruption detection, investigation and prosecution in the country were still difficult in practice, clarifying that a tension existed between the criminal justice interest in enforcement and the economic interest in avoiding criminal justice involvement and this tension made 'the priority for investigating possible corruption by Dutch companies outside the Netherlands rather low'.
The report is also critical on the current legislation, finding out that 'despite the existing steady stream of new legislation aimed at preventing corruption and protecting integrity, there are still areas where this legislation is inadequate'. This statement was made in connection to the lack of adequate protection in for whistle-blowers.
The NGO's report also alarmed that corruption among private parties was not punished in the Netherlands. Compared to other European countries, where corruption in the private sector is combated, the Netherlands lags behind.
Furthermore, TI found out that the corruption in the private sector was almost equal to the corruption by civil servants, while no cooperation existed between the two sectors in developing anti-corruption initiatives. The last was also one of the explicit OECD recommendations made in 2009.
The report concluded that the Netherlands was frequently considered to be a corruption-free society in the eyes of international business, yet there were signs of lack of transparency, integrity and accountability.
The TI study comes to prove that no country is immune to the spread of corruption within its public or private sector. Nevertheless, the Dutch expectations for anti-corruption development in the new members of the EU, in particular Bulgaria, have been harsh and demanding.
MOSCOW, January 4 (RIA Novosti) – French actress Brigitte Bardot has threatened to follow her colleague Gerard Depardieu and apply for Russian citizenship – though for a different reason.
Renowned actress and animal rights campaigner, 77-year-old Bardot said that she will have to become Russian in case the French authorities do not drop their plan to put down two sick elephants at a zoo in Lyon.
"If those in power have the cowardice and impudence to kill the two elephants Baby and Népal despite all the proposals made by my Foundation … then I have decided to ask for Russian nationality in order to escape this country which has become nothing but an animal cemetery," Bardot said in a statement written in French and posted on the web site of her animal rights foundation on Friday.
The two elephants have been suffering from tuberculosis, and the city authorities have insisted that they should be put to sleep as they pose a threat to other animals in the zoo and its visitors. Backed by Bardot, a public campaign urging to save the elephants has collected thousands of signatures.
Maria can get any single guy. Maria won't be single for long.
Is Maria single?

Hi, just checking in. Haven't seen a tennis match since Hingis took Williams (the big one) and then lost to her sister. Did Agassi ever return all of those trophies he kissed, while tweaking? I know they were awfully rough on Martina for her recreational indulgences. But this marriage thing has me confused. I know that I wouldn't let a coke fiend sweep my steps, so why would anyone allow this in the spiritual realm of 'marriage'? Thank God (and goodness) that tennis has strict doping policies. Coke improves athhletic ability! And our little lady is clean! To be fair, I did watch Maria at Wimbeldon 2004, and taped several if not all of her matches, but eventually erased them, replacing them with repeat after repeat of The Office. It had to do with the way my mind works when deprived of oxygen.
Because Maria is no stranger to buy money, if she hasn't danced with the filthy white agent of concentrated euphoria by now, she never will. If you look closely at the faces of a lot of beautiful women, you can see feint wisps of snow where the vacuum is lower, at the edges of the spoon, streaking into their nostrils, rewiring their heart, ruining them (another way to discern this would be to look at their eyes, or if they are rainless, or can stand to even look at bono). I cannot supply a link because the example I was witness to has already been cleaned up and I don't know how to load a screen capture. This is why tennis, sports, a discipline, is so important. Mere 'models' need something like coke to make them feel confident about their innate vacuity. That's why I live at a co-ed monatsery. It is possible to experience the same walking bliss, Mister Montana, but without the odd psychological and physiological ties to cocaine.So do I have to wait for another dream? I'm not trying, but they find me.
This current dream all stormed into place just when I started to use email again, after many years of silence, this time to court a reformed nude model who uses head candy enhancements, on the set of B grade movies, hoping to get the edge to make the grade onto the A list, where they also use enhancements to get the edge....
This time, I saw there were two huge Siberian (long haired) wolves, both with red and white and grey stippeled fur, trapped in the garage, with little to eat. When I opened the door to feed them, they got loose. All the dogs ran out of the yard and joined with the wolves. I ran out to try to shepherd them back in, all seven of them. The night sky was bright, somehow, dark bright blue, indigo, and I was put into a cart and wheeled about by someone resembling the creator of 'curb your enthusiasm', to the west where we were supposed to wait for something from the sky. It came down from the sky when we reached the end of the street at the mouth of the local golf course. It was like a man wearing flight gear. But he vanished on landing. There were people all around, like a block party, there was a brew ha ha, and then back to the garage near the gate separating the yard from the street. I saw all these antiques, old tools, and car stuff I had held onto, and had scattered over time and space, all gathered back together now, and you had to decide what to keep. A red sled from the 50's that was made by the 'Blazon' corporation, with white handles intact, and which would be great as a hood air cowl induction intake in the apocalypse era, caught my eye. Old rear view mirrors from out dated delivery vans, very hard to find since all the tow truck drivers snatched 'em right up, wood crates...tools. Wind was blowing harder now.
And then there she was, in a short yellow tennis dress, her stress deformed fingers encircling one of mine, which was maimed somehow, perhaps by the wolves? Perhaps by something else? I watched the finger change.... Pretty soon part of me was back in the house, where I saw a girl wearing no clothes in a somewhat small aquarium just large enough to contain her form, pressing her flesh against the glass, nipples, breasts, laughing. She was someone who had tried to interest me in her sex a few times. The aquarium was on the kitchen sink. It was riotous, a lot of partying. But mom wasn't happy, and some of my family were seen as if froze right under door frames..a place of uncertainty, and stability; a barrier of sorts, like the forcefields on the USS Enterprise.
Her little hand, her stress-formed finger tips and palm, encircling my index finger.
But she was the last thing on my mind....I had lost my original screen name, cannot even remember it, started at the roddick period, and ended with the last dream I told here, of a family portrait, and a woman in her family asking why her husband was being left out of the picture...I think it was circa tv producer era..after a courtside kiss I witnessed that froze me solid, when I typed out some words of finality, and goodbye, to the site administrator, thinking it was to Maria, and left.
