We may not be rich, but we are copious...

There's something to be said about someone who can sit through training all day, and not have a blockbuster blog post about it. I dunno... my trainer was the equivalent of a gay tour guide... where the hell do I go with that?

Maybe I'm not as creative as I once hoped. You're all free to quit reading if you'd like.

The neighbor girl ran away the other day. Her mom asked that some details of the story be covered in the newspaper, and they were. Apparently the newspaper got crapped on, because it ran an editorial trying to justify what coverage they did print.

Fine, whatever, who gives a rip. But then they put this in there:

In the wake of our initial story, readers accused The Reporter of everything from dropping the ball, to not caring because the teen in question wasn't from an affluent part of town, to showing poor news judgment by not having the story on the front page.

Wait a second... if she's our neighbor... and she isn't from an affluent part of town... what does that say about us??? Just because people get stabbed, and there are 3 year olds playing in the street all over the place, I don't know how you say we aren't from an affluent part of town.

"Oh dear honey, there are black and hispanic children in that neighborhood... Black... Hispanic... Poor people... Non-affluent... Under-priviledged..."

I blame George Bush. George Bush is keeping us down dammit. All us poor ghetto folk... All we need is a damn hurricane to make it official.

"Non-affluent... George Bush... Black people..."

Actually, I don't think there are any affluent parts of Wisconsin, much less the crap hole city we live in... But thanks for dropping our property values a couple grand...

peace nick

There are affluent parts of Wisconsin. They're called Brookfield and Shorewood. Anything outside of Waukesha County though, well, POV.

I think the only affulent part of WI is the area around Madison.

Really...these days every thing and every place needs a label.

Look at it this way. The value of your property went down...maybe your taxes will too? ;)
