Editoral BS

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.

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.

Powers That Be

Quincy Mayor John Spring has declared a state of emergency for the city.

80% of Adams county has no power.

Wouldn't a massive power outage be an Emergency anyways ?

With no power, how do you let everyone know ?

Does it really matter ?

(235 ILCS 5/Art. VI heading)
ARTICLE VI. GENERAL PROVISIONS

Sec. 6‑28. Happy hours prohibited.
(a) All retail licensees shall maintain a schedule of the prices charged for all drinks of alcoholic liquor to be served and consumed on the licensed premises or in any room or part thereof. Whenever a hotel or multi‑use establishment which holds a valid retailer's license operates on its premises more than one establishment at which drinks of alcoholic liquor are sold at retail, the hotel or multi‑use establishment shall maintain at each such establishment a separate schedule of the prices charged for such drinks at that establishment.

unlimited number of drinks of alcoholic liquor during any set period of time for a fixed price, except at private functions not open to the general public;

(3) sell, offer to sell or serve any drink of

contained in a drink, or the size of a drink of alcoholic liquor, without increasing proportionately the price regularly charged for the drink on that day;

Say WHAT ??

Alderman split over $256 for recycle bins. Read it here.

Mayor breaks the tie and decides for the cheaper Canadian company.

The Mayor then added: "That's why we've always accepted the lowest bid."


A month ago the Quincy Taxpayer lost almost $6 million dollars on a hydro dream.

Who was the low bidder on this ??

Quincy's # 1 cable company

Comcast spokesperson Angelynne Amores said a mudslide around 8:30 a.m. damaged the cable system of a vendor outside of Quincy. She said she didn't have an exact location of where the mudslide happened except that "it wasn't in Quincy."

Amores said Comcast would not release the number of its customers who were affected by the outages.


Cable and Internet out for 12 hrs and no notice what so ever and a pretty piss poor explaination of where it happened and how many affected.


Isn't it great when the city gives you a Monopoly.

What the Pakistani Intelligence Agencies Missed

The compound was three stories tall but had few windows facing outside. It appeared to be worth at least $1 million, but had no telephone or Internet connections to the outside world. It had 12-to-18-foot security walls topped by barbed wire, and occasional plumes of smoke where the residents burned trash that they dare not place outside like other neighbors for trucks to haul away.



Wow. Really ??

OBL Funeral

An official at Monday's Pentagon briefing said the body, once aboard the USS Carl Vinson, was washed and placed in a white sheet. It was then placed in a "White Ford Fairlane" and a military officer read prepared "religious remarks," which were translated into Arabic by a "native speaker" who was not further identified.

The body was then placed on a "prepared flat surface, tipped up, whereupon the Fairlane was eased into the sea," the official said.
