What is wrong with you?

To the doofus who called in and said Chucky Schumer should be ashamed of himself: Dude, you should be ashamed of yourself within two weeks of Fox News coming out and saying yes, we lie to the people that watch us. You have the gall to call in and say everyone should watch Fox, and they’re the ones that have the truth. They already told you, you idiot, that they lie to you. Don’t you believe it? What is wrong with you? They’ve admitted to you that they’re lying to you.
Dumber than a rock
About schools no longer teaching cursive, I agree. These schools, they don’t teach anything anymore. I mean, we had to learn cursive and printing, both. I mean nobody even wants to teach cursive. And as far as numbers and all the stuff, in second grade we had to learn all this. These kids come out dumber than a rock now, and that’s out of high school. Nobody wants to teach the kids. All they want to do is the sports. All they see is these fancy football fields, these fancy field houses. Look at Lakes High School up there in Antioch. What a joke. That building should have been built for classrooms, not sports. It’s time we teach the kids. That’s what I’m paying taxes for, not for the kids to play football or play their games. Sorry, but it’s time these kids started to learn something.
I want a rebate
So money speaks once again in the fight to keep the Route 53 extension, going north of Lake Cook Road to Route 120, shutdown. I’d like a tax rebate on all the tax money I’ve spent on this fight over the years.
So disappointed
I voted for the current Waukegan mayor, and I’m so disappointed in her. Nothing has improved, especially with the winter parking. Cars are parked on both sides of the street, making it hard for the plows. People are parking on their lawns. A lot of cars don’t have Waukegan stickers. Drive around Waukegan and you see a lot of garbage on the streets. Crime has increased. I never see a policeman in our neighborhood. Apparently. policemen have been assigned different wards. Well, where are they? She’s so concerned about getting a city manager and neglecting everything else. Where’s the money going to come from to pay for a city manager? Is that going to increase our taxes?
