Re: Nice planet 4: Take 2. Action!

Just so we're clear on what was going on. Probably not as bad as some of the stuff you've heard about Eddie Vedder or Ted Nugent doing during concerts, but it's certainly at least skirting the line of bad taste.

No doubt, but look at where it was. The fact that the crowd ate it up tells you all you need to know.

Red meat for the ignorant rabble.

Let them wallow in their own stupidity.


Imagine living in a place like that... although you're in the Milwaukee suburbs.

At least your conservatives are educated.

Yeah, but even educated conservatives say stupid things. Just the other day our beloved governor said he wanted to blow up the Portland Press Herald building,

Yet when "The One" stupidly puts 3 Atlantic coast cities in the Gulf of Mexico, you're mute. Go figure.

It's funny that you're constantly railing on people for use of tu quoque all the while basing most of your inane babble around the same type of points.

Actually, I'm in Green Bay now.

Our conservatives up here aren't necessarily that well educated, but to their credit they're considerably less prone to the rhetorical bull**** and demagoguery that keeps Jim Sensenbrenner in office.

The liberals are better up here, too. More likely to know how to balance a checkbook... although it doesn't take much to meet that criteria compared to their Milwaukee and Madison counterparts.

Disabled veteran kicked off boardwalk because of service dog

NORTH WILDWOOD - A disabled U.S. Army veteran, who served our country for 19 years, says he was kicked off the North Wildwood boardwalk last night, simply for having his service dog by his side.

Jared Goering served 1 tour in Iraq, 2 in Afghanistan, and spent 19 years as an active member of the Army. Jared said, "I served from 1993 to 2012." He then told NBC40 he couldn't sleep Thursday night because he felt so disrespected by a North Wildwood police officer.

Goering said, "Just like any veteran with disabilities with a service dog, to come back and be harassed and shown no respect, it upset me - it really bothered me. I was up most of the night thinking about it."

A North Wildwood police officer issued Jared and his wife a summons because of the dog. Goering said, “I expected to get more respect from him because of the jobs that we both have to do."

"He mockingly asked if all veterans get service dogs," said Jared’s wife, Sally Goering, “his dog is medically necessary and he is a service dog."

In 2009, Jared was serving in Afghanistan when his vehicle was blown up by IEDs, twice, within 36 hours. Now, Jared uses his 3-year-old service dog, Gator, short for Navigator, to help him walk, and to get up and down stairs.

That is simply disgusting behavior by that police officer. A veteran with a service dog and you're giving him ****? Sounds like the police in that city don't have enough to do, they should probably downsize, and I know exactly where to start.

You can go through much of American history to find some pretty repugnant things said about every president we've ever had, and most every other office that's higher than the local levels. I remember in reading in college a report of a Georgian gubernatorial race where one candidate beat the other by exclaiming his opponent's daughter was a thespian, playing on the ignorance of the audience and intentionally confusing it with the term lesbian. By all accounts, things used to be dirtier because, in large part, they weren't as widely publicized.

That was George Smathers, from Florida, who made the thespian comment.

Well, in a couple months it'll have been 18 years since I read that. At least I was in the right region. And it seems to me more like a Georgia thing to do.

There are too many similar stories these days -- stories that make me embarrassed to have spent 21 years as a cop.

No wonder people have such a negative attitude towards law enforcement. They give good, honest cops a bad name. My uncle is a small town cop and he'd never let something like this happen.
