Testifying at the Insurance Committee public hearing in Hartford CT, Vernon’s Robert Steed perhaps made the best point of anyone during the onerous three- month process of hearing after hearing in reaction to the Sandy Hook Massacre.

Steen said the process was like a page out of the classic ‘Twilight Zone’ TV series of the late 1950s and early 1960s. Brought back memories of one episode in particular. The alien Kanamits, a race of 9 foot tall giants arrive with a book, ‘To Serve Man’. They bring peace to Earth and shuttle ship after ship of humans back to their home planet. Only trouble is, their book is a cook book. Sort of like what’s happening now.

In spite of Mayor’s outburst, WB Property Tax Levy to drop 5-cents.

Mayor Hans Trousil was outraged when the City Council voted 3 to 2 to lower the city tax levy a WHOLE NICKEL. The Mayor just doesn’t want to give WB taxpayers even the slightest of breaks. In the end, Mayor Trousil was backed into a corner, if he vetoed the budget, the levy would have dropped even more than 5-cents the council cut and he wasn’t about to give taxpayers any more of a break. But he did write his version of ‘The Sky is Falling’ letter to the City Council.

Mike Sweet Just Can’t Let It Go

Falcon:

Mike Sweet just can’t let Iraq go and constantly keeps bringing it up in his editorials in the Hack-Eye. Everyone by now knows how he feels about Bush; so why does he continue to harp about it, maybe his mind just locked up back in the 90s.

I don’t remember Mike harping about Johnson’s Vietnam War that killed over 55,000 Americans a fact that makes the Iraq war small potatoes in comparison. Johnson lied about the Gulf of Tonkin that got us into the shooting war. A fabrication at best that caused the deaths of between 55 and 60 thousands of American troops. Don’t forget we had the draft back then and many that went were not volunteers and surely didn’t want to be there while todays army is all volunteer.

If a Parrot kept repeating itself as Mike does I would think it would be sold off or be taught something else to say although I must say Obama never changes his tune either, according to him it’s always someone else’s fault for his failures.
