Chief Bawling Bull puts out first issue

[Tucker]

The big guy had a daughter without benefit of matrimony, who was raised by someone else; they never met each other for twenty years or something.

Many years later, the big guy promoted her on Skins's island, as she was in some sort of beauty contest, and she begged him to stop.

Although it's a personal issue, and perhaps a complicated one, that has nothing to do with politics, I'm sure the whole story's going to come out, somehow.

She didn't look as if she was born a she. Maybe it couldn't pass a genetic test if it won.

[Karin]

He puts high school plays in his campaign dossier?   

What if I were running for public office, and I put in my background writeup:

"In her junior year of high school, Karin played the part of a nun in the ____ High School production of 'The Sound of Music.'  She also once performed a saxophone solo in the school's jazz band, for which she practiced very hard.  She fit these extracurricular activities in around her studies, as well as serving as a busgirl at the _____ Country Club."

He still needs to describe how he likes long walks on the beach.

Then his campaign resume could be used as an eHarmony application.

So now he's Steve Dawes, committed Socialist and casual babydaddy.

(I wonder if she's included in the four children he claims in his resume.)

[DumbAss Tanker]

The committed socialist Steve Dawes isn't as stupid as Beth Ferrari, but he gives her a run for her money.

But then, really, who is?

Actually, I'm kind of concerned about something else.

And remember, franksolich is genuinely concerned for the big guy, his fellow Nebraskan.  There's so few of us we have to look out for each other, and I suspect I'm doing a pretty good job of watching out for Omaha Steve.

The big guy's a few years older than myself.  In his campaign stuff, he tells us all this stuff he did in high school, and what he does at the Omaha waterworks.  That's a, uh, pretty large gap there, between 1975 and circa 2007, or whenever it was he went to the waterworks.  In fact, that's 32 years.

We do know that he was a groundskeeper or caddy or something at a municipal golf course for a couple or so years before he went to the waterworks.  That sort of narrows the gap, but the gap's still a whooping 30 years, which is much longer than a missing eighteen-and-a-half minutes.

What was he doing inbetweentimes, which coincided with the most active years of his adulthood?

Now, I don't think my fellow Nebraska was up to anything especially nefarious, or anything to be ashamed of, but for some reason he doesn't talk about those decades of his life.  Maybe he wasn't doing so well, maybe he made some mistakes that he'd rather forget about.

The other day, there was posted a "happy birthday, franksolich" thread here in the DUmpster--it's been since moved to the Sandhills forum--in which franksolich was utterly honest and straightforward about himself, the bad in addition to the good.  That franksolich didn't do so well, or made some mistakes he'd rather forget about, in no way diminishes franksolich.  Life does that to everybody; I don't know anybody to whom it hasn't.

I think my fellow Nebraskan needs to emulate franksolich, and tell all.

I have a lot in common with my fellow Nebraskan, other than his bulk, and his Hate, greed, sloth, pride, lust, envy, and gluttony.  I know how the big guy feels.

My fellow Nebraskan was a big guy in high school, his teenaged years; in fact, he was rather fat.  Maybe he was friendly, outgoing, gregarious, and all that, but surely there must've been a strong undercurrent of fear, insecurity, and an inferiority complex.  After all, no one's really comfortable being the fat kid.

And so in between his teenaged years and his ascent into senior-citizenship, he doesn't think he did anything worthwhile.  I dunno; I don't think he did anything particularly bad, but it'd be nice for him to illuminate the voters of Bellevue what he was up to, during that more-than-half-of his life.

Having worked the Flooding issue for the State for 13 weeks last year i can tell you that last years flood and the flooding from the year before did major damage to the area. Bellevue also had someone steal all the copper from the park that they could get their hands on during the 2010 flooding which made the use of the showers and bathrooms there impossible. I do know that the yhave a tape of the person driving a pick up truck loaded with the copper pipes driving back across the Bellevue bridge into Iowa but I don't know if they caught up with them. I'd say that with the land issue being what it is and the cost of repairs that if FEMA money doesn't come through then it's more then likely to be a moot point since the city was losing money on the Marina and with little or no services in the park that it won't be comeing back anytime soon.

The neighborhood I grew up in (in Omaha) has a creek behind my old home street's houses (the name of the creek is Cole Creek and street Cole Creek Drive). Almost every year we had a flood. When I was really young, two little kids died in that creek.

Year after year peoples homes flooded, our house too. Mainly the basements.  Finally, a few years ago, the city bought all the houses (total of three) that flooded the worst every year. The three houses started right next door from our old house. My mom would have been pissed if we still lived there and they bought our neighbors house and not ours.
