Spring and Bullshit are in the Air
I’m tired of all the campaign bullshit of this season. Build the Block can bite my ass as far as I’m concerned. Maybe if they spent the money they use to mail me a flyer every other day and advertise to build the museum, the son of a bitch would be built already. They want the taxpayers to foot the bill for a plan that isn’t even concrete. If I went the bank and asked for a twenty year open line of credit, they would want a specific business plan not generalities and bullshit. They don’t have commitments from IMAX or even commitments for the rest of the funding. They don’t know how much admission will be but it will pay for itself. If I went to the bank with this load of sputum they would laugh in my face yet we are supposed to open our wallets and let them have at it? I think not.
I live in the East Bluff which is also part of the hot and heavy third district city council race. Tim Riggenbach has also showered me with flyers. One of my favorites said the Tim knows neighborhoods, he lives in one. Well, holy shit! I must be an auto mechanic because I own a car. I also must be an exotic dancer because I have a g-string. Don’t insult my intelligence. Just because I’m in the lowly part of the third district, south of War Memorial, doesn’t mean that I don’t have a brain in my head. I haven’t exactly seen him in my neck of the woods campaigning and his latest literature has quotes for friends and neighbors, the majority of which are North of War Memorial. I’m glad he expects the North half of the district to carry him but when the lowly peons in the Southern half need his help and we will, I expect him to treat us just as he would treat them.
Now I seen on the Peoria Chronicle that Build the Block and Tim Riggenbach both got there campaign mailers produced and sent from out of state. To be fair you have to include Patrick Nichting in that same bunch. His flyers were produced by Victory also. I’m all for calling bullshit but call bullshit on everyone not just a select few.
Enjoy your weekend and remember after April 7th all the it will all be over with. Hopefully the best candidate will win and not the one with the most money and flash. Please vote!

Hilarious. You are quite the curser!
Yeah, you have to be hands on in the East Bluff. Manning would cruise our alley when we called with problems. Can’t see Tim doing that.

Riggenbach will end up being another “follow the leader” council member (are you listening Mr. Spain…Mr. Montelongo?). Keep the status quo, right? Oh sure, Peoria is just fine the way it is…*much sarcasm*

Maybe we could look on the bright side…If we were good we wold save the fliers or even collect them…
Ahhhhh yes collect them and insulate our homes or maybe we could line our cars with them, I hear it works. How sound proof would that be?
Yes, Manning would cruise the alley, the street,
answer calls,(some not relevant), stand with us in our yards, actually call you back, and much more, much more……Soooo who will???
We will… that’s who…
We the People of the East Bluff will “Build The Block”.
Yes it will be our block.
(And we will like it)
Yes we will have a local politician to speak,
(If we were really good we would have 2 or 3).
Yes we will have nice cocktail parties.
(They will not involve “natty light”)
Yes we will except donations.
(Of ALMOST any kind, solicitors not welcome)
And, Yes, lives can be lost and sometimes found with g-strings and auto-parts.
Maybe we could do something like…..Make our neighborhood more beautiful. Just on this block alone there is enough bull shit fertilizer to fill in my back yard and many more. They might make pretty flower beds.
****DM snickers and tosses head to the wind****
Soooooo Yes I will vote.

I’m glad you didn’t say “kiss my fat ass” because that and G-strings don’t go well together. (I should know!)
