7. What's a 'mini-taco?'
Do they make special miniature taco shells now?
I didn't know this
No.
No.
No.
I am aghast.
I am in fact somewhat horrified.
Perhaps the friends of the big guy can put out a better flyer?

Response to Omaha Steve (Original post)reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where Kramer is protesting the U.S. Mail and sets up on the street to protest with a maniquen dressed up in a postal workers uniform with a bucket over it's head.

4. What is the significance of the
Native American icon?
I now have a co-worker that is a Cave Dweller. He joined them a week ago.
Ok I see it now.
Well, this is jim-dandy, a new member.
Welcome, whoever and wherever you are.
I also apologize to the DU for taking my eye off the ball two weekends ago.
Now remember, earlier I'd mentioned both the big guy and franksolich, being fellow Nebraskans, have a tendency to think of things in terms of football.
The big guy got the ball first, on his own 20-yard line, and due to a miscall by franksolich, gained three yards on first down, and due to an unanticipated but pretty minor event, gained an additional yard on second down.
Making it third-and-six.
Which was where it was at, until www.electstevedawes.com abruptly appeared a couple of evenings ago.
Okay, I've never heard football radio broadcasts, but from what I understand of the manner of the late Lyell Bremser of Cornhusker football, this is the script:
[announcer]: Okay, folks, the third play of the game coming up. The crowd's barely sat down, and it's third-and-six, on the big guy's 24-yard line.
[announcer]: You got the big guy, being cheered by the primitives, in the left-handed bleachers, and franksolich, being cheered by the people, in the bleachers on the right side.
[announcer]: Now remember, these are two one-man football teams here; there's nobody else on the field but the big guy and franksolich, right there at the big guy's 24-yard line.
[announcer]: One runs with the ball, or passes the ball.
[announcer]: If one passes the ball, then one has to hurry up and outrun it as it goes through the air, so as to be at the receiving end when the ball comes back down.
[announcer]: Okay. The big guy and franksolich are now crouched down, facing each other.
[announcer]: AND THE BIG GUY PASSES THE BALL!! HE TOSSES IT!!
[announcer]: THE BIG GUY PASSES THE BALL, AND IT SPINS THROUGH THE AIR FAR DOWN FIELD!
[announcer]: AND THERE'S THE BIG GUY, RUNNING QUICKLY DOWN FIELD TO CATCH IT, TO CATCH THE BALL WHICH HE JUST PASSED!
[announcer]: Is he going to make it?
[announcer]: MAN, WOMAN, AND CHILD--it looks like he will, about his own 45-yard line, near mid-field!
[announcer]: HE'S GOING TO CATCH IT, THE BALL HE JUST PASSED, THE BIG GUY!
[announcer]: AND NOTHING TO STOP HIM! NOTHING TO STOP HIM FROM REACHING THE END ZONE!
[announcer]: HE CATCHES THE BALL! THE BIG GUY CATCHES THE BALL!
[announcer]: The primitives are cheering! It's a touchdown for sure!
[announcer]: AND OH MOLLY MY, OCTOPUS ON HORSEBACK, franksolich is nowhere to be seen!
[announcer]: franksolich is going to let the big guy get away with it!
[announcer]: franksolich isn't around to stop the big guy!
[announcer]: OH THE HUMANITY! THE PEOPLE, NOT SEEING franksolich, ARE CALLING HIM NAMES THAT HAVEN'T BEEN UTTERED SINCE THE CREATION OF THE WORLD! FOUL, DIRTY NAMES! THE PEOPLE ARE ANGRY! franksolich ISN'T STOPPING THE PRIMITIVES' CHAMPION! HE'S LETTING THE BIG GUY GET AWAY WITH IT!
[announcer]: OH THE TRAGEDY! While the primitives are cheering their champion on, the people are cursing franksolich! CUSSING HIM OUT! THE PEOPLE ARE NOT HAPPY! THEY'RE GATHERING ROPE, TORCHES, AND PITCHFORKS, to use on franksolich! THE PEOPLE ARE NOT PLEASED!
[announcer]: Where's franksolich, to stop the big guy?
[announcer]: The big guy's running down the center of the field, the ball tucked under his arm, NOTHING TO STOP HIM FROM REACHING THE END-ZONE! WHERE'S franksolich?
[announcer]: OH, THE DISASTER! THE CALUMITY! THREE BISHOPS AT A RODEO!
[announcer]: THE EARTH SHAKES AS THE BIG GUY THUNDERS DOWN THE FIELD! VIBRATES!
[announcer]: AND NOTHING TO STOP HIM--
[announcer]: Whoa--wait--what?
[announcer]: THERE'S franksolich! THERE'S franksolich! STANDING AT THE END-ZONE AS THE BIG GUY BEARS DOWN ON HIM, A 4-8-8-8-4 STEAM LOCOMOTIVE ABOUT TO RUN OVER A PRAIRIE RABBIT! NOTHING CAN STOP THE BIG GUY, AS franksolich WAITS DOWN AT THE END-ZONE, HIS EYES GETTING AS BIG AS SAUCERS AS HE SEES THE BIG GUY COMING AT HIM!
[announcer]: The ambulance attendants are pulling out a spatula!
[announcer]: To pick franksolich up after the big guy runs over him! And a cookie sheet, too, to deliver franksolich to the mortuary!
[announcer]: franksolich HOWEVER IS STANDING HIS GROUND!
[announcer]: STANDING HIS GROUND AS THE BIG GUY BEARS DOWN ON HIM!
[announcer]: AN IMMOVEABLE OBJECT AGAINST AN IRRESISTIBLE FORCE!
[announcer]: franksolich against the big guy!
[announcer]: OH MAN, WOMAN, AND CHILD! PAISLEY KILTS!
[announcer]: OH THE HUMANITY! franksolich's EYES NOW AS BIG AS PLATTERS, AS THE BIG GUY CHARGES AT HIM!
[announcer]: NO! NO! NO! THE BIG GUY SLIPS! SLIPS AND FALLS!
[announcer]: ON THE THREE-YARD LINE! THE BIG GUY SLIPS! AND FALLS!
[announcer]: THE BIG GUY LOSES THE FOOTBALL!
[announcer]: THE BALL'S UP IN THE AIR, FLYING LOOSE!
[announcer]: ON THE THREE-YARD LINE!
[announcer]: franksolich HAS THE FOOTBALL! OH LORDY LORDY LORDY!
[announcer]: OH, A BUSHEL OF PORRIDGE! franksolich HAS THE FOOTBALL!
[announcer]: The big guy's still on the ground, dazed, as franksolich runs with the ball downfield!
[announcer]: And now, time for this commercial message from Blue Cross-Blue Shield of Nebraska.....
This week I plan on trying to find a coupon for mini tacos to send to his campaign fund.These are the best by far (http://www.traderjoesfan.com/Trader_Joes/mini_beef_tacos/details/)
Okay, I've taken a close gander.
The big guy's insert has the union label.
Good for the big guy.
The big guy got the football at his own 20-yard-line again, after the touchdown by www.electstevedawes.com, and I guess it's now second-and-five.
It's about four minutes into the first quarter, plenty of time left in the game.
www.electstevedawes.com
I also apologize to the DU for taking my eye off the ball two weekends ago. You know who got under my skin. It won't happen again.
Constitution This is a non-partisan race to keep the focus on LOCAL issues.
What was the big guy doing two weeks ago, that he got careless?Two weekends ago was when he was flying off the handle about having photos of him, out in public, show up on a site for decent and civilized people.
I, too, want to help out Steve Dawes, Socialist-Bellevue. Steve, if you're reading, you should get rid of the, Indian head, obviously a school's mascot, and replace it with something that's not really copyrighted or trademarked, and if it is, I'm sure the group would be happy to allow you to use it. What image am I referring to?
<snip>
Two weekends ago was when he was flying off the handle about having photos of him, out in public, show up on a site for decent and civilized people.
He got nadin, and poor addled grasswipe Judy, and proud2BDUmb Anne, and a host of other lunatics all riled up.
He ended up being buried in PMs from other DUmmies to STFU.
2nd and 5? No way. After that insert he is 2nd and 15 and his QB just sustained a career ending injury.
No, the big guy advanced five yards, to his own 25-yard-line, with that big strength-draining effort of getting those inserts at the printer's, and then taking them to the newspaper.
I was hoping to get the big guy penalized ten yards, thinking perhaps the advertisements weren't union-printed, but they were, so no foul. His five-yard gain, getting them done and getting them out.
That's where it's at right now, with the current score being the big guy 0, www.electstevedawes.com 7, with twelve minutes to go in the first quarter.
There's some locker-room problems, though. I'm not sure exactly what they are, since they're going on in the big guy's own locker-room, but I suspect this is what's happened:
The Sarpy County Democrats, most notably Charlene or Charlotte or whatever her name is, kindly agreed to advise and counsel the big guy on his campaign. That's part of her job (part-time), and apparently she does okay doing it. If she's not sure of something, she has access to local, county, and state professional Democrats for answers and solutions.
Maybe a few professional Democrats then advised and counseled the big guy--probably the same advice and counsel franksolich had given him many moons ago--but then the big guy figured no, he knows better than they do, and disregarded all of this well-meant advice and counsel.
After which Charlene and the professional Democrats gave up on him as a hopeless cause.
So Charlotte's out as coach, and it appears nadin's in.
It's going to be an interesting football game.
12. Bellevue had the first trading post in the Nebraska Territory
I live a few blocks from where that trading post stood.
The Bellevue East mascot is a chieftain. They wouldn't give a license to use their trademark even with a payment because I'm a political issue. So I bought a license on the one at the bottom of the flyer.
I'm well known for being a vocal fan at BE basketball and football games.
Because the Air Force base sits against our border, we have an Arrows to Aerospace parade every summer in Historic Olde Towne. Right down Mission Ave., named after the first mission in the area. My ward.
It's got a great response from everybody that has commented on it.
OS
One page inserts in newspapers are $1k and up. He raised $1,200 (or claims he did), is having a party he has to pay for this week, and signs to purchase.
Yeah his QB is down and in the locker room.
I erred.
I didn't see a referee throw a flag, earlier.
I was watching the big guy instead of everybody else.
It's true the big guy gained by finally getting something out, thus the five-yard advance.
However.
The big guy got them out way too early.
Too early of a start; false start.
Penalty, five yards.
And so it's second-and-ten from his own 20-yard-line.
The big guy negated his gain by putting out those flyers w-a-a-a-a-y too early.
Did anyone see whether the flier was a union job? I can't look right now; using the cell phone I'm sure socialist Steve Dawes had a union shop print his flyers, right?
The big guy did.Unless that's a bogus union logo.
He listened to franksolich, for once.
The big guy did.
He listened to franksolich, for once.
Unless that's a bogus union logo.
I have never heard of a newpaper allowing outside printing on an insert, but maybe Nebraska could be different.
Actually, that's pretty common in Nebraska, newspapers inserting stuff they themselves didn't print.
But it's cost-inefficient, because instead of merely paying for the printing from another source, one also has to pay extra for the insertion by the newspaper. If the newspaper prints it, insertion is free.
But this is for a small-city city council race, insertions into newspapers going to a limited delivery territory, maybe 3-4,000 copies, and so maybe an extra forty bucks.
Plus the fact that the big guy used a printer who's a buddy of his (although the place is authentically unionized), he probably got some discounts or doesn't have to pay the bill for printing on delivery (a short-term "loan"?).
It's kosher, but it's a lot of trouble. Just easier to have the newspaper print the inserts.
One suspects the big guy paid a lot of bucks going back-and-forth Omaha-Lincoln-Omaha, because of the 0bamagasprices.

The people in Bellevue should be very carefull about what OmahaSteve says.

Unless he is self-employed.

I doubt Socialist Steve has been playing on the internet while on the job.
Word is, since hiring on at the sewer plant, he's pursued his disability scam pretty much full time.
He's hardly worked a day in years. Bad back, you know.
Of course, he's okay to sit in bleachers for hours at basketball and football games, or travel to Wisconsin to help vandalize the Capitol marble.
That's a common symptom when union drones have back trouble.
It only hurts around the workplace.

It needs the bandwidth. Break and lunch means everybody will be on the few pc's we can still use. As a steard (sic) I can use the PC for union business on the clock, but it won't be near the surf time I'm used to.

So.....crazy Sarah, the #06 Top DUmmie of 2011, thinks someone should volunteer to be the big guy's copy editor of his printed matter.
I'm thinking the big guy's hoping his friends will take care of it for him.

I don't see the CC chastising Briggy for his continued use that I gave up a couple years ago. So apparently the conservatives at CC condone it from Briggy, just not from me.
