I found this on the WOWO event and business closings page today:

"Safeway Driving School-All lessons and evening classes cancelled (2/26)"

Ok, I'm not sure I understand this one at all. Isn't snow one of the many environmental elements that young drivers will face once they no longer have an instructor in the car? Wouldn't this seem a very appropriate time to give driving students a chance to engage a fairly common road condition with professional instruction?

Here's an even better one:

Typically, the Indiana and Ohio BMV don't offer driving tests when the weather is inclement.

No wonder most people drive like their heads are lodged in their asses as soon as precipitation starts falling.

As we draw ever nearer the November elections, there are two questions every voter must ask themselves:

1. Do I want to have MORE money taken out of my check?

2. Do I want to pay for my NEIGHBORS health insurance?

No matter what your political affiliation may be, it's an absolute certainty if you elect The Messiah or The Glacier, the answers to the above questions will be yes.

Was McVain my first choice? Hell no, but I know MY answers to the above questions and that most certainly means a vote for the lesser of the evils available.

Just to clear up a few misconceptions, I'd like to officially announce that I have no intention of shutting down this blog. It will remain "open for business" indefinitely.

It should be noted, however, that I also have no intention of posting with any systematic regularity. I have other things that are more pressing, up to and including the launch of my new business (which has turned into a spectacular time consumer).

Trust me, when I feel moved enough by something to post about it, I will do so. I will NOT, however, be posting every whim or nuance that strikes me as I once did. I just don't have the time, and I also don't give a fuck.

Since I have joined the Fort Wayne area blogosphere, I have had a lot of fun, I have vented and released regular truckloads of BS that were weighing heavily upon me, and I have attacked (and have been attacked) countless times, often to my glee, and sometimes to my chagrin.

Overall, it's been lots of fun, and as the upcoming presidential election nears, I can only forsee more monkeyshines in store.

One thing I have to admit is that I can no longer afford the ugly libelous attacks that have been directed at me over the last year or so. It's still amazing to me that some in the blog-o-sphere honestly bought into some of the unwarranted and baseless bullshit that was slung in my direction, but frankly, I can't bring myself to care all that much. The people who were interested enough to ask me, already know the WHOLE stories behind the half-truths and outright lies.

Unfortunately, my blogging style and my resolve to blog were adversely affected by the bullshit. I wish it hadn't been like that, but sadly, that's just the way the dice fell.

On top of that, it has been repeatedly proven that there are people out there who are simply better at blogging than I am: American White Guy (Eric White), Jeff Pruitt, Everett White and Change Fort Wayne just to name a few.

I'd rather read their stuff and regularly comment than to continually "work my ass off" just to turn out some half-cocked literary tripe that doesn't energize readers the way it once seemed to.

Overall, I still enjoy blogging enough to continue doing it occasionally, but I'm not going to devote the time to it that it requires to be a "success" in the Fort Wayne blog-o-sphere. Contrary to popular belief, I actually have a life...so I don't have the extra time it takes to get everyone to "loook at meeeee."

Everyone who has ever had a password to this blog still has one. Nothing is getting "shut down." Anybody who wants a password to the blog, just email me and I'll hook you up.

Nothing is fucked here, dude.

Clinton: "In Terms Of The Fairness" FNC Treating Campaign Better Than MSNBC
FishbowlDC has the story of Sen. Hillary Clinton's appearance on Washington, D.C.'s ABC affiliate yesterday.
Clinton said that "in terms of the fairness of the coverage," of her campaign, Fox News Channel has been better than MSNBC. The fairness issue came up during a discussion about David Shuster's remarks last Thursday.
"I really am troubled by this pattern of behavior and comments that you hear" on MSNBC, said Clinton. "They need to take a hard look. This is like the third time they've had to apologize and there are lot of things that they haven't had to apologize for that might have merited one."
On Friday, Clinton sent a letter to NBC News president Steve Capus writing, "No temporary suspension or half-hearted apology is sufficient. Politico's John Harris who conducted the interview asked Clinton what she thought would be appropriate.
"That's not my job John," said Clinton. "That's the job of the people who run the network."

DON'T YOU JUST LOVE IT WHEN THE LEFT EAT THEIR OWN??
