Journal Interactive offers free campaign blogs

December 10th, 2009 · Comments Off

Brookfield mayoral candidate David Marcello has started one at BrookfieldNOW.com.
Take a minute and notice Mr. Marcello’s first commenter is Mayor Jeff Speaker’s hit man 5th District Alderman Scott Berg. (Ok, I snorted a little just now. Like we didn’t see that one coming.) Interestingly Mr. Marcello’s second commenter is quick to introduce readers to Marcello’s [...]

–I will be playing with the blog design. I can’t help it. I’m finding some very cool stuff out there. I remember [...]

December 1st, 2009 · Comments Off

Yep, I’m going to take that as a compliment.
He’s right, though. It’s time to act if you’re unhappy with your local government. And yes, I’ll help.

Shark jumpers for the week of November 22

November 28th, 2009 · 4 Comments

Well, we have our party crashers, Tareq and Michaele Salahi. I’d say their public career is going the way of balloon boy’s family attempt for the starlight.
Next there’s the obvious – Tiger Woods. We’ll call him the fire hydrant and tree crasher to stick to our theme. No way that story won’t be making waves [...]

October 27th, 2009 · 16 Comments

The paper is at it again with bad details from Alderman Scott Berg driving a fake controversy. This time it’s whether part-time city employees should have access to the city’s health care plan.
Keep in mind when you read this drivel, NO PART-TIME EMPLOYEES CURRENTLY HAVE ACCESS TO THE CITY’S HEALTH CARE PLAN. Elected [...]

October 26th, 2009 · 12 Comments

They are saying their circulation dropped over 10% in the last six months. The real number is 190,841.
If I had my way, we’d be off their list, but the spouse loves his morning paper ritual.
I subscribe to their newsfeed. I can’t tell you the number of times in recent weeks where they’ve been feeding blogger [...]
