 in Nebraska politicians don't act like that. With term limits you would think more silliness would take place.
Way to go Nebraska!
OK, obligatory Nebraska reference. I drove back to Lincoln from Western Colorado on Wednesday. On I-76 in eastern Colorado, there is massive construction going on, with big signs claiming it it thanks to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (aka the stimulus). Bill Ritter, the gov., is of course a Dem..
There was a lot of construction on I-80 in Nebraska too, but no signs. I'm wondering if Governor Dave has simply decided not to put them up, and spend the money instead on something worthwhile. After all, Obama would look incredibly petty going after him for not putting the signs up.
More generally: we all know roads need to be repaired, but we all hate construction. I'm wondering if it is good politics putting the signs up while the road is down to one lane and there is a 10 mile stretch where you can only go 40 m.p.h.. Me, I'd put the sign up after the work is done.
Looks like a couple more "registered independents" from Club Jane snuck in a couple more mindless liberal screeds at 2:02 & 2:05.
What a buncha nonsensical liberal claptrap.
Argh, I was gonna go quote them and now find SS deleted their comments before I could open my can of rhetorical whoopass on them. Such a disappointment. I'll get over it, though.
Allow me to just say that their comments illustrated a common liberal misconception that government money grows on trees. If Goobermeister Meistergoober gets elected, for example, and wants to distribute all sorts of goodies from the public till to his favorite constituencies, he'll have to take the money from somewhere else. That somewhere else is typically taxpayers — yl'know, folks with jobs who, by and large, vote republican.
Grundle King So why did Street Sweeper delete the stuff about the Bush tax cuts? Nebraska is part of the USA and Bush was a President of the USA. No street sweeper is playing favorites today.
ANON 3:02 your right about the thin skinned one today.. The main one is Street Sweeper and all of the Nebraskan republicans who can't handle the truth. The truth is that the Republicans under George Bush ran our country into the ground. Both on the foreign and domestic fronts. We had a budget surplus when Bush became President. When he left office. We did not. The world respected us after 9-11 and wanted to help. When Bush left office the world hated us. Now they like us again with Obama leading the way. When Bush left office we were losing 750,000 jobs a month. That includes people who live in Nebraska. Now we are gaining some jobs. Not enough. But the Republicans in Congress are able to slow things down with the filbuster. Face Nebraskan republicans you are the party of terrible!
Way to work "Nebraska" into your comment there, Peppy. Now clean the spittle off your lips, and you'll be ready to roll for the weekend.

@ Anon 3:10, I don't know, I didn't see the post.
Back to the original post, did anybody else notice anything strange about the 2nd picture? In the 1st picture, she's wearing the sling, but in the 2nd picture, the sling is gone. Jill tells us that he has to be in a sling for 'tendenitous' )which I can't find in any medical text) for PART of the day. Apparently it's only for the part of the day where it comes in handy.
Summertime,
And the blogging ain't easy
Fish are jumping
Except in the Gulf
Oh, Your daddy's rich
And your mamma's named Palin!?!
So hush little sweeper
You have reason to cry
Picking on Libs is TOO easy.
Sure Bush did have a spending problem, but after that he was by and large a MUCH better POTUS. You might not agree with his policies, heck I didn't agree with them all, and you might not like his brand of politics, but he was a much better President.
The current POTUS is not doing so well by most accounts. Of course you might throw in some comments based on those who get almost everything for doing nothing on how great he is. BUT the bottom line is he just isn't getting the job done. Perhaps it's a reflection of his work history? Wait he doesn't have one.
Anyway this all applies to Nebraska because we have to pay even more in taxes to fund his vote buying policies. Come Jan even more will need to be collected from wage earners to GIVE to non earners.
Bottom line is Libs are more like teenagers at home after high school living off mom and dad.
Just like teenagers they want more for doing nothing, and get mad because it's never enough.
It's like they don't want to get a job, possibly lose public aid, and be "Responsible" for their lives today.
Meanwhile hard working Nebraskan's will be asked to surrender more of their hard earned money to support the Progressive Agenda!
Talk about a Goober how about Cornett!
Anyone know why Sen Cornett's mom was on a lease with her husband on the first Bellevue house and there were so many defaults?
Now Sen Cornett is saying her husband is declaring bankruptcy, not really herself?
Yet he has to be making 75% of his Cop Pay so around $50K plus her retired cop pay say about 35-45K plus her Senator pay and travel say around 25k, and Bellevue U pay say around 35K. All told 150K plus the 200K he makes now.
So they sent the kids to private school, ummm kind of expensive there.
They bought another home for 180k so a mortgage of around 1100 with all the taxes etc about 1400. So
Making 350K+ (Or about $25,000 a MONTH) they couldn't keep up with a 1400 dollar mortgage? hmmm
Oh and she is in charge of minding the "Revenue" for the state? I don't know about you all but it just seems hinky.
Oh and the "Medical" issues don't cut it, because all the debts will be paid according to her article, so not seeking any relief from them.
Now Sen Cornett is saying her husband is declaring bankruptcy, not really herself?
Heh heh. Someone needs to explain that marriage thang to her.
anon 630.
Are you even from Nebraska? If so, you would know that State Senators get paid 12K a year and are reimbursed for travel that they have to account for. As for she and her husband's pensions, how the hell do you know? It sounds to me like you don't know what you are talking about.

I would love to see your perfect life. Glad you aren't having problems in this economy. Must be very lucky.
However, other than what he makes at his job overseas (because it was printed in the article) you have no idea what their income is like- nor do I, but I don't pretend to.
Stop running your mouth simply because you want attention, or if your another state senator, because you want to be revenue chair and can't win on your own merits.
ANON 4:07 Any one who thinks George Bush was a good President is a complete 100% fool. Obama on his worst day is better than Bush ever dreamed. Think before you speak. Heck out side of Buchanan, Bush is the worst President in history. Worse than Nixon, Hoover, Pierce, Reagan. All of them. The WORST do you get it! GEEZ. I have heard some dumb right wing crap before. But never have I heard some say George Bush was a good President. That is why his approval rating was in the 20% when he left. Why do you think the GOP leadership asked him to delay having his memoirs come out until after the 2010 election? They know how toxic Bush is.Why do Democrats still run against him and WIN? If Obama was in the bottom three worst Presidents in USA history he would still be ahead of Bush. It is hard to believe you are allowed to vote with your opinions. It is unfair to everyone Republican or Democrat who thinks.
Some one must have it a nerve with the Bush is better than Obama comment!
Oh and then there is the whole Cornett thing. Hey it's pretty much pulic domain how much the Mr makes. See if you go to the Omaha web site and look up the pay scales you can pretty much deduce how much any police officer makes, within a range. Then you extrapolate the wages to retirement via the PUBLIC pay scales there and voila you arrive at a fairly decent number. So go sit on it Potsie.
Gee some people with such thin skins. Now knowing you get paid $12K is like reveailing some close held secret. Doh!
Ya live in a glass house your going to get some rocks thrown at ya.
Now what would really be interesting is answering the questions that were asked.
1. Why is the Mother In-Law on the title of the Bellevue house all the time?
2. How come a 1200-1600 mortgage can't be met with more than $25,000 in income EACH month, not in a year but a MONTH? Typical Republican, take take take.
And you are chair of revenue for what redeming quality? Perhaps the Senators should
