I got a little sidetracked over Easter.
Had something i wanted to write but never got it done. Too late now.
One weird thing happened today.
I got a letter from federal court in Topeka. They wanted me to fill out a form with questions and eventually i could be called for jury duty.
It would be for federal court in Topeka or Wichita.
That isn't the weird thing.
The weird thing was this. There was a note that i could fill all this out online and not have to mail the form. I did that. Went to the web site. I entered my name and date of birth. The form automatically filled in my address, phone number, place of employment from that.
Big Brother watching.
What else do they know.
That was a bit spooky.

You have spoken.
The banks have hand-picked who they want to run this town and you, as voting citizens, have voted them in.
I hope that they can continue to save the city money by cutting frivolous spending and being strict with budgets.
The board will no longer be run by people like you: blue-collar individuals.
I do urge you, though, as concerned citizens, to still scrutinize and nitpick every move the new mayor(s) and commissioners will make like you have with the last ones.
When the new Lowe's store comes to town, ask A.C. Industries to show you their books to see how much profit they made by this move.
Also, go to Woods Lumber, Midwest Electric and any other business that will be affected by the "big box" store that so many of you drool over and see how they are doing.
The people that work at these places are your neighbors, friends and relatives and they work hard to provide a service to this community.
Finally, I don't understand how people can vote in a commissioner that does not even own any property.
We have someone in office that can vote to raise your property tax that does not pay property tax! I have spoken.
OK, here we go.
I really doubt if Roger Brown, Mr. Docking, and Mr. Schwyhart or Duncan or whoever else really all got together and then approached the candidates. Do you have proof of this Dustin? Why do you assume this?
I remind you too that Mr. Matthews, who your father supported, worked much of his life for a bank.
Frivolous with the budget: is this why it has taken longer than 2 weeks to pick up the limbs that are all over town? Is this why the city saw fit to let go one of its only minority employees who used to run the senior citizens center? Is this why Mr. Russell left us so soon?
I am not a blue-collar individual. Most of my friends are not. What do you consider a blue-collar individual. Should they be insulted by this?
I assume the new mayor will not take us in to embarrasment with the rest of the country through acts like Smellishish Poon, and embarrasing acts such as the crash tax and the water bill fiasco, an ATTACK ON THE POOR BY the commssion led by YOUR FATHER MEL KUHN. This is in addition to acting incredibly rude to the developer who was going to help bring development to this town.
The last I knew, which was a couple years ago, AC industries included Mr. Greg Kelley and Mr. Roger Sparks as well, both strong supporters of Mr. Margolius. Mr. Schuetz is this not the case?
Mr. Kuhn supported Walgreens, and yet Graves, Dillons and Walmart pharmacy are still in operation, as well as the new K and D pharmacy. I imagine Woods and Midwest are equally as capable.
So blue collar workers who only rent property should not be able to run for office? What about retired people who may have moved to a appartment for health care purposes? Should the appartment complexes of this town not be supported? This seems to be another attack on the middle and lower class of this town.
Your case has many holes in it. Also, please do not include my daughter in any more of your illegal activities.
You must have filled some of it out on your voter registration card??? I am pretty sure they ask for your address but I can't remember about the employer stuff.
Yeah- I would say gloves off now when attacking Dustin. When you put yourself out there with strong opinions and words, You should expect it back!! What the poster at 8:52 said was DEAD on! I think thats how many feel in this town.
I mean't 9:04- Not what Dustin wrote!! LOL
Smelly Junior has spoken!
As if your word means a piddle of puss.
Finally, I don't understand how people can vote in a commissioner that does not even own any property.

DUSTIN:
ARE YOU IMPLYING THAT SOMEONE SHOULD NOT GET A CITY JOB BECAUSE THEY DON'T OWN A HOME? THAT IS DISCRIMINATION!
MAYBE YOU SHOULDN'T SPEAK, IT IS NOT VERY BECOMING OF YOU!
OK, Dusty the Bully Jr. --
So only land owners or property owners should be allowed to hold office? I think that went out of popularity about 100 years ago, about when they let females and minorities vote... are you against that too?
Oh now probably your Mommy and Daddy and Sister and Brother and Wifey will probably attack me and you and your goons will come threaten me... and then JJ will take all this down.
As a consumer, I owe you nothing because you are my neighbor and own a local business.
I bet smelly junior just ruined any good thoughts anyone might have had left over from him being "picked on" in the last thread.
Looks like the original poster had him pegged. Loser!
I can't wait till his mommy and daddy and wife and sister and third cousins show up on here to tell everyone how great he is.
Maybe they can all move away together.
Translation:
"Waaaah, now my daddy won't be able to throw his weight around anymore."
Mell needs to keep his kid on a leash. All he does is make them look like whiny little sore losers.
What?
Wow!!!
Seriously.
What?
I hope JJ doesn't cave and delete this thread too. Mell might beat him up if he doesn't.
That info is nothing that your income tax info has on it. I don't know if the different departments lend info but I am sure the IRS would have all of that info. Then again it could have been county voters registration as one other poster suggested.
And as far as the Opinion page, I would suggest if someone doesn't want to be verbally attacked he would be very careful what he says. Trouble is like sewage, the more you stir it the more it stinks, I would think a plumber and a plumbers kid would know that!
I hope JJ doesn't cave and delete this thread too. Mell might beat him up if he doesn't.
..........
I really did delete that post of my own volition.
No one "told" me to do it. One anonymous poster asked me to, but ... i dont normally do what anonymous people say :)
This one has not crossed the line yet.
I cant describe the line, or define it.
I just know it when i see it.
There was a group called "blue skies" or some such, a couple years ago.
They were picking candidates and supporting them.
They were pretty up front about it though. There were some bankers involved in that. Not sure what happened to that group.
Let me understand that it is OK to run a cartoon like that while none of the three has a hint of hispanic blood. That's OK to dress them in costume and make fun of the wording. THat's OK, we are going to be OK with that.
What Mr. Kuhn did was wrong but because this is against him then this demeaning cartoon is THAT'S OK
Yeah, the feds are always know! My dad got called 2 times in a row for Federal jury duty in Wichita!
Did he have to actually go up there?
Yeah, both times. One of the trials involved gangs.
I find it interesting they would call on a newspaper editor. Maybe if you get picked and after it is over could make for an interesting article.
The Blue Skies group was from Union State Bank and they supported Scott, Mel and Dottie and several school board candidates which would work with Mike Walker, an employee of the bank.
It is an interesting liason considering the smear of Home National Bank during the Lowe's fiasco and the competition between the banks.
"The banks have hand-picked who they want to run this town and you, as voting citizens, have voted them in."
Well, maybe if your daddy and his cronies hadn't ran this town into the ground, the vote would have turned out different. Of course, you probably thought everything your daddy did was great! Take off your blinders son.
JJ, there really IS cause for concern about the federal jury duty. A co-worker of mine got selected for federal jury duty and is in the 6th week of the trial...with probably another 2 weeks to go. Really cripples things at work, not to mention the financial hardship on my co-worker.

"News Flash"
JJ gets called for Federal jury duty. Trial could last 8 weeks.
Huraah, we get 8 weeks vacation!
Just kidding, but it is a more postive thought than the way he's handled the blogs lately.
