With a bit more practice, I think he can get NASCAR, Quincy Raceways and American Idol all in the same sentence.

New Post Topics
Hello bloggers.
I am Quincy Fire and I was a Whig-aholic. I have been Whig-free for about 8 months now. Although I still read the paper every now and then, it is now strictly for entertainment value. Therefore I anytime I do read something odd, I'll blog about it under “ Whig Free”
Also as I wonder around this metropolis, I frequently ask myself “who is footing the bill for this and how much is it?” So those will be listed under “ Who Pays For This?”

R.I.P. Hydro
Quincy Hydro Project 2006 – 2011
Quincy Hydro Project born on Dec 12, 2006 in Quincy Illinois, left us on February 18, 2011. It will be joined in the after life by Firegate, Puppygate, Servergate, and other taxpayer funded blunders.
It is survived by it's financial dependents Klingner & Associates, Mead & Hunt, Joe Duesterhaus, Husch-Blackwell, Mississippi L & D 21, LLC, Grey Hunter Stenn, Michael Alexander and Associates, Northland Securities, Bernardi Securities and GREDF.
Quincy Hydro Project made no contribution to the city taxpayers and rarely had a chance to survive and produce electricity even if the project matured. I speak for the majority of city taxpayers when I say it's presence will not be missed by many, very few tears will be shed and there will be no lamenting over its passing.
It's financial family will remember Quincy Hydro Project and amongst ourselves we will remember it in our own way, which were mostly taxpayer funded and easy times throughout the years. We may have made some fond profits of it and perhaps we will think of those times too. But I truly believe at the end of the day ALL of us will really only miss what we never had, a another taxpayer funded white elephant. As for the rest of us left behind, I hope this is the beginning of a time of healing and learning to be a financial responsible city again.
There will be no service. An online memorial service will be here on Quincy Fire where users can share their memories, moods, incriminating feasibility studies, pictures, and gross amounts of profit.
In lieu of flowers, financial dependents request that you send donations to “Where's My Damn Money Gone”. Grief counseling will also be made available by logging on to Quincy Area Hydropower Project.
We commit the application remains of
Quincy Hydro Project
to the Deep ~
ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
From water, all life arises.
Mother of waters, Father of rain,
You have taken back your own.
As a stream flows into a river,
as a river flows into the sea,
This project is dead,
R.I.P.

When the going gets tough.....
Prospects for Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's budget bill that would strip the state's public employees of most collective-bargaining rights were thrown into question Thursday when the state's Democratic lawmakers were not present at the start of the state session to vote on the bill.

Snow Way !
Snow removal efforts focus on Downtown Quincy
What makes downtown get more attention than the rest of the city ??? Do they pay more taxes ?
Even though Cape Air has canceled its flights, Quincy Regional Airport remains open.
Open for what? BYO brown bag lunch and free security scans ?
"Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds"
I call bullshit. Have not got mail for 2 days.
Quincy's weather forecasting service, Murray and Trettel Inc., told city crews that snow was supposed to start falling by 11 a.m.
Quincy still PAYS a weather forecasting service? Can't someone use the internet there?

Not the best Dam Investment
QNO reports that the city will be showcasing the L&D 21 hydro project for a potential investor.
River projections for Monday will be 14.7 pool and a 13.7 tailwater.
Good luck on them whipping out their checkbook for a freaking foot of headwater.
Last time the potential for this to produce a single watt of electric was March 8, 2010.

At least we know Brett's type
Sometimes I like eggs for breakfast.
Sometimes I like pancakes for breakfast.
Looks like Brett Favre likes to eat the same thing every day.
p.s. this post is Rocky Cola's fault. :)
Happy Columbus Day, suckers
Just remember while you are working your real job today to thank all of those tireless public servants in city, county, state and federal government who have a paid holiday with your tax dollars.
It gives the bastards who are running for re-election an extra day off to campaign...oh wait...they already give themselves the entire fucking month off to campaign.
My God, even the schools are getting it and many of them are in session today. Of course, that's because they don't want to honor Columbus and they get plenty of days off anyway.

Sun-Times luvs some Sexy Lexi
The Chicago Sun-Times sez...Giannoulias is young, just 34, but seasoned in life and politics. He’s got the stuff to be an excellent United States senator.
He's seasoned like a Kennedy, it looks like. Can he drive over a bridge? How do you say Mary Jo in Greek? Can I get a Hell yeah?!?!?!?!?!!
The Hell yeah is for the broads. I'd go pound some Ouzo and some tail with this dude, but I'm not givin' the Big O another automatic vote in Congress.

Robin, get Durbin on the Batphone
Did you know Mayor John Spring has a flashing light on his mayor's car (that you pay for)?
WTF does he use that for?
Will he use it when driving Durbin around to meet with campaign donors...oops...I mean...when he meets with community and business leaders?

The trough never ends for City Hall
Glad to see the city is flush with cash again so the mayor, aldermen and department heads could spend a few days in a five-star hotel in Chicago.
These conferences are nothing more than taxpayer-paid vacations and people ought to let the folks in City Hall know they are sick of it.
By the way, I understand no Republican aldermen went on the trip.
