I like how the Sunday Whig editoral leaves the reader with the fear that if any federal programs are cut, Meth use and production in the midwest will skyrocket.
This is typical Democrats using class warfare and scare tactics to shirk responsibility and engage in theatrics.
This is typical Democrats using class warfare and scare tactics to shirk responsibility and engage in theatrics.
Yet, there is a fear that the meth trade will revive
and thrive and communities will continue to
be contaminated if the federal government is barred
from helping the states and the states can’t do it on
their own. For many communities in West-Central
Illinois and Northeast Missouri, meth continues to
be a primary concern as law enforcement tries to
protect the citizenry.
Do you want a program to cut ? Try the S.T.E.P. program.
S.T.E.P. involves a combination of increased enforcement and community education designed to raise public awareness and compliance to all traffic laws. It is funded through a grant from the United States Department of Transportation, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The grant is administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation, Division of Traffic Safety. Here's some stats on how the program "saves lives" (wastes money)
This is a BS Federally funded slush fund that more or less gives grants to local law enforcement agencies to pretty much....................wait for it............................do their JOBS!
Enforcing traffic laws is part of the job of law enforcement, does it really need Grant money to survive ?
so glad I don't pay for this sh*t.

If it's locally important, it should be locally paid for. Why should somebody's tax dollars from Denver pay for a STEP program in Quincy? Or for that matter, a new stoplight in Carthage?
People act like federal tax dollars are free money, when in fact they represent money taken out of a real person's wallet, who might have spent it on something in their direct interest. Gasp.
Haven't heard much fearmongering from Repubs that Obama is a Muslim baby-eating Antichrist who's been sent from the serpents of hell to steal your guns lately.
What happened?
ENCOOOOORRRE!
Bob tried to start a new website
The judge says NO NO NO.
Tookie hires crew of lawyers
Costing DOUGH DOUGH DOUGH.
Moyers says it's fine
We'll just hire Bob to whine.
Bob tried to start a new website

Anon 3;13-that's because Obama has cut his own throat. He turned out to be a bigger puppet than Bush. Heck, he wouldn't make a pimple on the Anti-Christs' ass!
So Amy Wjne-a-lot, when will you start your blog?
Gasp...Help...I'm in distress from QNO withdrawal. I'm a conservative running amuck with no direction. I don't know what to think without Tookie, EMan, McQ, and JRG telling me THE TRUTH. I have no key code buzz words. I don't know who got divorced. I don't know who got speeding tickets, damn it, so I can complain about the QPD. I don't know who's doing surveillance on King Spring at the golf course. I don't know what the idiot school board pansies are doing to each other. I don't have all the paranoid conspiracy news aka THE TRUTH fed to me daily. This is an unbearable existence for me. Please, Fire, HELP ME!
Anon 11:30
Sorry Can't help sheepeople like you, just keep your Whig subsucription up to date and reading the daily articles on "Life is good".
Thanks for stopping by!
P.S.
Feel something new may be coming !
Hey Rupert!
I just thought I'd let you know I start every phone conversation with "You can hang up now, Rupert."
8:18 Sheeple, that's like smoking in public is your god given all american right, your pissy ass pansy choice, no gov telling smkers waht to do, by god, given by god and rush, god ,guns and cig's...? That kind of sheeple?

I think it's time for your morning meds.
Hey Rupert,
DON'T WIRETAP ME BRO!
"Don't wiretap me bro" = much funnier and CATCHIER than "Nice pants, JJ."

Looks like vomit. In fact people are puking all over their computers right now.

Go look at QNO. It's the same page for last 2 weeks.
Oh man, this is Hil-LARRY-us!I love it when you self destruct and eat each other. Gigantic fail. JRG wants to get back at the big bad old money boys, so he sells his soul to another old money boy, and now he's caught cheating on him! JRG goes running back to the media that he slammed so much. So it really was just about getting back at the big O's,grinding your axe, and not really about being a creative genius trailblazer? So who gets the friends with benefits? You know, the people who really do have a pot to piss in. Now all the conservatives have to choose which friend to give their ad $$$$$! This is priceless. Ooo, you can hear the gears whirring. Gee, do I dare make the old deep Quincy pockets mad by buying ads with the poor broke Quincy Newcomer Club Wannabes, hiding behind *Radio? Who will they choose? And who will we listen to? And believe? I hope someone has contacted Andrew and Dana about this schism in conservative Quincy. AND WHO GETS THE TEA BAGS?
I see duce stopped by.
The sad thing is Federal mandates is what has made the cleanup of meth labs so expensive in the first place. I say put the lab in a box and ship it to Washington.
Regarding QNO, it is clearrolls anon trolls here don't know the facts of what went down.
Hey Rupert/Fire,
Don't CENSOR me bro!
I shall have my vengeance on you trolls!
The war on meth/drugs is a failure. as it should. And always will. Regulation of personal behavior is unconstitutional,the framers knew it,and accepted it, and wrote it out. Being secure in one's person, papers, and property is what freedom is all about. Go Ron Paul.
Anon 5:49. That's all you got?! Conservatives don't have integrity? Liberals do? That's it? Pot calling the kettle black, pal! Bask in your self aggrandizing glory while you can. The chickens will come home to roost on your lib pals soon enough. As if that isn't how Bob gets most of his material,anyway. Have a nice day.
Amy Winehouse? Girl you so stooopid!
Stupid is just like, well, your opinion, man.
But I only speak the truth and would love to hear your theories as to how it went down..
I'll leave you with another one of my hits. Stay classy little faithful ones.
Bob cheated yourselves
Like I knew he would.
I told you, he was trouble
You know that he's no good.
Well, my theory is, Bob, journalist that he is, doesn't want to be told what is news and what he should report . Just as when he worked for the dark side. He won't bow to the money from this side either. It's called integrity. Look it up, Amy. Then, crawl back in your box.
So you're saying WTAD isn't on the dark side? Bob's a yes man now, and he does as he's told now.
Integrity isn't a word that describes a man with leud behavior in the workplace. Disgust is more like it.
It's surprising how so many on the Bob Bandwagon know so little about his indiscretions, and the real reason he has such an axe to grind with "the dark side". It really has nothing to do with being "rebel media" and everything to do with a personal vendetta. It is the highest form of hypocrisy to use your wealthy "friends" to bankroll your vengeance. There is no integrity in this venture. Just an immature little, little man.
O.K. anon's, let's have it.If this lewd behavior happened,let's see the evidence,or SHUT UP.Or,you can just use the tired old excuse that the powerful rich boogie men will shut you down.
7:07:00 PM
You bunch of crybaby whiners working at the dying Oakley Empire can't get over how a one man show has made you all look like idiots. Get used to it. Stop crying and report the news.
Evidence? You need evidence?
Ask any female intern.
Ask the former WGEM anchor who got out of her contract and got him fired the same day. Care to guess why? It wasn't because SHE was harassing HIM.
To NOT know this incident is quite naive.
Here's my take on it. I am aware of the RUMORS of which you speak and based on those rumors I probably wouldn't vote for Bob if he were running for office; anymore than I would vote for Tookie. Both of their reputations precede them, but when it comes to being willing to read what he has to say about the nepotism, ignorance, waste, arrogance, etc. that takes place in Quincy city government I'm all ears. I figure the Whig, et al, has every opportunity and duty to keep the public informed, but choose not to. That doesn't mean that I think that Bob is always right or that the Whig, et al, is always wrong, but to have a researched, well-thought-out opposing viewpoint that is willing to scream "the emperor has no clothes" is comforting, refreshing and doggone it,downright entertaining.
If the Whig, Oakley's, whoever don't like it then they always have the option of doing what is best for their trusting public instead of what they think is best for their own interests and that of their cronies.
So, find a better way to defend the Whig's lack of real news policies then to keep whining that Bob's a philanderer, pervert, whatever. I have yet to hear you prove he's wrong.
You call them rumors huh? You must not have been working there when it all went down like I was.
I could write a novel on the daily indiscretions...
And YES. I worked there. And YES. That's my real name.. you look up the rest, and while you're at it... pass my name onto Bobby the Messiah and tell him I said hi.
A. Hawee, you're missing the point. If you have an axe to grind with Bob and have first hand experience, more power to you, but I don't work there, don't know Bob and therefore, for me, they are just rumors and they don't give me cause discount what he has to say. Sorry for you if you were affected.
If you don't even know Bob, then your pan doesn't belong in this fire. I just hope you never have to work with someone like him.
Actually, A. Hawhee, your pan doesn't belong in this fire. If you've got proof that you have been injured file a lawsuit. Otherwise, you're just whining. Again, sorry if you were affected, but get over it, do something about it, or shut up. And if I ever did work with Bob I'm pretty sure I could hold my own.
Go Bob! And Go Quincy Journal!
Telling a person who dealt with his bullshit on a daily basis to shut up is ignorant and only hearing and seeing what you want to. Why YES, Mr. News Director, my tits are real. Thanks for asking.
Someone DID mention lawsuit, and that's exactly why he's no longer there. Remember that? Refer to: 8/21/2011 03:40:00 PM if you've forgotten already.
I AM and HAVE been doing something about it... right here, right now. This isn't my first rodeo in exposing your local news Messiah and I'm not alone. All I'm telling you is beware of his dark side, but (again) it seems you are only interested in what you want to hear. If everything else is just a "rumor", take your tin foil hat off.
A. Hawhee
Sounds like quality investigative journalism to me. Maybe you can provide a picture of your cans for us all to judge.
You've got to move on, Ms. Hawhee. No one cares! There are plenty of folks in my past that I have a personal dislike for and guess what? No one cares! Your diatribe against his alleged (I know, you don't like that word) workplace indiscretions/violations/assaults isn't besmirching his reputation. Hate him all you want. I hear he was quite the cad. So, are most guys, especially as anon above proves. So, am I. You're making a fool of yourself. Let it go.
Morals. Some have 'em, some don't.
All you want is his rage against the machine to continue, no matter how many asses he grabs along the way.
I see how it is.... Keep them blinders on folks...
Does that mean we do or don't get to see those knockers?
Wow. Good to see someone who was sexually harassed by the Little Man speak up. The Little Man must sound like Beavis & Butthead as he makes the inappropriate comments about knockers & cans. Telling Ms. A to move on, to quit whining, and that all guys behave that way is ridiculous and immature, just like the Little Man himself. It's amazing that the Little Man's whining & criticism about his former employer is viewed as investigative, cutting edge journalism, but Ms. A is told to let it go and quit whining. Such hypocrisy. So if the Little Man is such a great journalist, why did his former and current blog publish the "blotter" every day? Because it gets hits, page views, from the nosy natives. And then the Little Man can sell ads and brag about his greatness. So it's not really about the journalism folks. He's laughing & snarking at all of you behind your backs. He's using you, too.
7:29:00 AM
Maybe you have some influence in getting us a peek at those hooters.
7:29:00 AM
Or since you have some time to kill, maybe we can get a preview of what you have under the hood.
I'll show you mine if you'll show me yours.
Ms. A. DOES have to move on. It's been how many years? Anyone's hatred of him over those past issues have zero merit in his supporters'eyes. And as for him "using" his supporters, isn't that the basis of business?
Bringing up the past is relevant.
Remember: Try all you want, but you can't polish a turd.
Au contraire, you can polish a turd. You just can't make it shine.
I like BOb just hate Chip.
So...the female victim of the sexual harassment HAS to move on, but the Little Man doesn't have to move on? Why? The Little Man's entire life since the day he was fired has been devoted to getting even with his former employer. But the VICTIM needs to move on? You all do realize the Little Man would still be working for the "dark side" if they hadn't fired him for sexual harassment, don't you? It's not like he's some journalism genius. He was unemployed, broke, and mad as hell that he got caught because one of his female victims was smarter than him, and kept the evidence.
Is she winning? Is she gaining any ground? Does she feel better venting here? I empathize with her anger, but to what end? It was how many years ago? Was she physically hurt? Emotionally scarred? Irrevocably damaged? She sounds vindictive, but that's it.
Yeah, Bob is probably not over it, either and is seeking revenge, but he's covering it better and actually performing a desirable service at the same time.
We all gotta eat and we do what it takes to do so.
I don't particularly care for Chip, either, but I do miss his City Desk.
GOOD GOD GIVE IT A REST !
I'm getting the feeling HeeHaw's twins are not going to make an appearance.
Looks like someone plugged Bob's keyboard back in.

You are a twisted sexist hypocrite. You must be the infamous JRG himself. You are saying that when a woman discusses being the victim of sexual harassment by a coworker in a supervisory/managerial position, she is being vindictive. But JRG is performing a desirable service, and being a good provider, by seeking revenge against an employer who fired him with just cause. That's just called immaturity, actually. You know, not being able to accept responsibility for your own behavior. Anyway, JRG is back in the frying pan. He's working for a corporation, that better have sexual harassment policy in place for their employees. And he best not tangle with a few of his new coworkers. They will hang him and the corporation by the balls, and laugh all the way to the bank.
Waaah, waaah, waaah! Cry me a river. Nope, not JRG, but I do get guessed at being much younger than I am. I always say it's because I'm so immature.
I doubt you were sexually harassed. In fact, I think you keep coming back so the rest of the anons can ask to see your tits. I'm thinking you like it when guys want to see them.
I also think that you're probably an imposter, as well, and not truly A. Hawhee. Maybe a co-worker who was there? C'mon, you can tell us.
Meanwhile, curl up with a good romance novel and a box of Kleenex and have a good cry. You seem to be good at it.
Regards.
Wow some of you people are ignorant.
I was the Sunrise Producer from May 2006 to June 2007. And my name is as real as my boobs. If none of you are Quincy Costanza, I again ask you to mention my name. Then watch a fat man sweat in the fall.
Eat it baby said...
I like BOb just hate Chip.

Jesus Fucking Christ Chip,
Have ANOTHER dozen beers.
I don't think your name or your boobs are real. Please provide proof of both.
