Recycle this

Chesterfield board hears 70 speakers on budget druthers

So, yeah, there's budget crunch in my county. Just like every other county in this state and the country probably. To save money, $400,000 a year, the county wants to reduce recycling pick ups from twice a month to once a month.

Go for it, I say. In fact, eliminate it all together. Why should the government pick up our recycling free of charge? They don't pick up our regular trash, we pay a private company to pick up our trash each week, and I think that's the way to go.

If you feel so strongly about recycling, why not pay someone to come and get it? Or, how about this, why don't you go drop it off at the transfer station yourself? Imagine that. A novel concept.

Here are some of the things being affected by the new budget:

• 186 jobs eliminated
• School budget shrinks by 2.5 %
• No pay raises

Yeah, lets not cut the recycling budget. Heavens no.

Beep Beep

NICE.

I Don't Feel Your Pain

I can’t wait until all these bass turds who took out huge mortgages and refinanced to the hilt get their bail out. It will make me feel real good that I settled for the cheapest 4 bedroom house on the market in the inner ‘burbs because I didn’t want to overextend myself. Maybe I should have. Who needs to be responsible for their own actions anymore?

Oh Well, If HE Says We Should....

Hey Kofi, go to hell.

If our government does cave in to UN pressure, I will be removing the "W" sticker from my truck's window (sorry, Rob). I almost did when he nominated that woman (Bea Arthur I think it was) for the Supreme Court, but I decided to hold off (please note, I have nothing against women on the Supreme Court, just that one).
