Gratuitous Grousing


 Bend Over

Water rights are always under attack. Key phrase.

The department’s U.S. Bureau of Reclamation promised a “robust and transparent public process”

Realists know the decisions are already made. The “robust” process is optics, nothing more.

Old School Police Work

Kudos to our local police department.

The surveillance video must be compelling for a $100,000 bond to be set.

ROBUST

The new buzzword to shut up the common rabble? As in this masterpiece of propaganda.  

"robust scientific evidence on which to base decisions".

Silly Santa

A friend is a professional Santa Claus. Sunday at the VFW breakfast he “gifted” our group with elaborate bibs.

So What?

Workplace altercation leads to severe injuries is a legitimate news story – no problem with that. Why did the reporter need to mention the accused was is a former Marine?

MORE

This irked me enough to send an email to the reporter. No response.

Why was it necessary to add Calvin August is a former Marine? Implies former service members, especially Marines, are prone to violence.

IMO, has zero bearing on what happened.

As always, YMMV

Not saying you are wrong. I will say anyone who made it past AIT has learned some self control.

GB beat me to it. And you're right, the water decision has already been made and the little people will lose.

They smile in our faces, "Thank you for your service", while despising us in their hearts.

A military style breakfast. In my case, scrambled eggs, bacon, hash browns all covered with sausage gravy. Others choose french toast or pancakes. Every third Sunday (except summer months) with the profits going to help disabled vets.

The building was salvaged from a WWII German P.O.W. camp about six miles to the West.
