Crabisms

A Penny for My Thoughts

 Do you ever have days where you think the world is falling apart at its seams? Well, today is such for me...people, places and things seem to be all askew.

Politicians, (and I really shouldn't be going here) are full of themselves and often full of rhetoric. Speaking of politicians, did you hear that ol' Mitt apparently tied his dog to the top of his car while traveling? President Obama seems to be a far better pet owner, yet I beg to differ with his foreign policies. Sarah Palin is a women that gives our gender a bad name. And although he is a politician by the strictest definition of the word, Joe Lieberman doesn't do much for his gender either. I would actually love to see Andy Griffith in office, but he recently passed away.  Pakistan seems an awfully sad place, as does Detroit. Niagara Falls is slowly drying up and corn fields are being absconded by aliens. Wine can now be consumed in moderation by pregnant women. Coffee is a cancer preventative and athletic shoes-we called them 'sneakers' back in the day- are two hundred dollars. "Music' is hardly music and it's time to get rid of the penny. Don't you think that 'crabisms' should be a word?

Perhaps I should return to bed for the day and hide from it all. Thanks to global warming though, it's too hot to pull the blankets over my head. Tee Hee.

Oh dont you worry, were gonna vote, but not going to vote to increase taxes thats for sure. Do withRead More what you have.

I would recommend supporting an increase similar to Ridgefield's which was under 2% (1.97%). If aRead More community like Ridgefield can perform at high levels with an increase under 2%, the Board of Education, in asking for almost twice that is openly admitting that they have installed inefficient management in school administration. Further, the sewer system on the referendum will require municipal funding since it is backed by the full faith and credit of the town of Brookfield and reduces the town's borrowing ability - the advertisement for which indicated it would not impact municipal funding.

So Mandarin Chinese won't be a requirement? Perhaps Manchurin Chinese? Cantonese Chinese? MongolianRead More Chinese? Which Chinese are the British speaking these days? Their empire stretched in the Hindu speaking parts of Asia but they aren't teaching Hindu. A quandry indeed.

The board of education's policy should pertain to all employees of the Brookfield Board ofRead More Education.

The short answer is because they want to. If you spent twice at much they still would. EducationRead More personnel need to be monitored on social media like Patch.

I will lend a hand by voting yes for the school budget this Tuesday, May 21st. Teachers should notRead More have to pay out of pocket for school supplies.

Interesting that representative Scribner fails to represent Brookfield's businesses choosing insteadRead More to focus on Ridgefields.
