Good morning fellow…ummm, what are we now? I love the look of this site – great job!
I’m up to my eyeballs at work – yet, again, still. The bill I need to kill passed the House committee by one vote on Monday, so now I have to put together a strategy to kill it in the Senate, since there’s no way it’ll will not pass the full House. The sponsor thought my testimony in the House was “heavy-handed and arrogant”. Wait til he sees what I plan to do in the Senate committee. Does the term “Shock and Awe” ring any bells? I’ve always subscribed to the “Don’t Get Mad, Beat the Sh*t Out of Them” theory of political opposition.
Are any of you guys notaries?
Time to hit the showers. Have a great day everyone!!!

Thank you…I would call us “polinators,” but that just doesn’t have any ring to it AT ALL! I don’t know. Maybe it’ll grow on me.
Good Luck!! And keep us updated.

Polinators, I like it, like in a way that makes Herman Cain THE HERMANATOR. So we can be THE POLINATORS.

Well, when I registered an e-mail address for us, polination was already taken (in all of its many wonderful forms). So, I went with polinators, instead. That’s where I got the idea.

Auntie Lib –
I used to be a notary when I worked at a title insurance company and did closings. Is that what the bill is about? I know I’ve seen you explain it but I was in a hurry and didn’t fully get what it would do.

What state were you in when you were commissioned? Did the state or your employer require you to use a journal?
LikeLike
Missouri, and I believe the state (and by default my employer) had us keep a journal. We’d take down name, address, get their signatures, and maybe a few other items. Additionally, we got pictures of drivers licenses although we didn’t keep them with our journal, they were kept in the file.

Morning all y’all… I’ve got a new entry on my blog if you’re so inclined. (I still can’t believe I’m a blogger! Takes some getting used to!)
I’m about to take my mom for her bi-annual visit with her VA doctor. He is a wonderful individual and I’m always so amused during her visit because he constantly refers to her as “my dear”. She just preens! It is too funny!

Watching Chris Christie’s live speech on Fox now. What an amazing speaker, unlike Obama’s all day speechifying yesterday that put me to sleep. (I keep fox on for background noise)

Thanks for visiting my little blog and commenting – you’re now an official “basket case”.
Glad you enjoyed the video – it was produced by my son a couple of years ago for a local film festival contest. The entrants had 48 hours after learning the theme to produce a video. If you know about Bob Kelleher it’s even funnier. The guy’s a perennial candidate and has run on every ticket imaginable. In 2008 he ended up being the republican candidate for senate against Max Baucus, mainly because we had too many unknowns in the primary. It was a disaster in so many ways…

Is he going to run again? Isn’t there some kind of shelf life that expires after x-number millions of years?

Wisconsin’s Tea Party takeover
A very left slanted take on what is going on in Wisconsin right now. Let’s hope this anti-union movement gains momentum and moves on to other states.

Very left, and totally distorted. Our governor is trying to prevent Wisconsin ending up like New York and California– i.e., teetering on the brink of bankruptcy– and for that he is being pilloried by government workers and their accomplices in the media. He wants to bring the salaries and benefits of government employees into line with what comparable workers in the private sector earn, so naturally everyone who works for the government is squealing like a stuck pig. It makes me sick. We live in a college town, where it seems almost everyone we know has someone in their family who works for the UW system or the public schools. They are all foaming at the mouth over the prospect of not getting raises this year, at a time when so many of the people who are paying their salaries are taking huge pay cuts and facing the prospect of losing their jobs because of the wretched economy. They think belt-tightening is fine for the schlubs in the private sector, but God help the one who touches their salaries and benefits. I’d like to know where they think the money is going to come from!
LikeLike
That is exactly the mentality that rubs me the wrong way. People in the private sector have had their benefits and wages cut due to the poor economy. No one should be safe, least of all people working for the gov’t getting paid off my tax dollars.

Amen, sister. It’s their sense of entitlement that makes them so irritating! My husband is self-employed, so we have to pay for all our own benefits (health insurance, retirement account, etc.); and when he is unemployed, as happens now and then, especially when the economy is in free fall, he does not qualify for unemployment compensation. So when he does have work, we have to stash money away for the times when work is nonexistent and there’s no money coming in. And of course four times a year we have to write out checks to the IRS and the Wisconsin Department of Revenue. So it drives us up the wall when people who have job security, regular paychecks, taxpayer-provided health insurance, taxpayer-provided pension funds, etc. have temper tantrums over state budget cuts. Why do they think they should be exempt from the belt-tightening that all the rest of us are being forced to do? Who do they think is paying their salary and benefits?
