These clowns have to go!

Since I don't want to be mean and blow up with Tweet after Tweet on this -- I figured I would do a blog entry to show my dissatisfaction with politics in Erie (I really need to stop watching the news in the AM)...

Let's start locally. Over the weekend, a plow truck overturned in the city. I believe it was WICU that showed video from the scene where Mayor Joe Sinnott was standing near the truck while they extricated the driver. Now, while I'm sure that he was concerned about a city employee, he was just standing there, looking dumb and standing in the way of the crews. There was absolutely no reason for him to be right in the mix of everything -- although I can see where maybe that looks good for him so that he can show people just how much he cares. That's probably why he was by the truck -- so that the news cameras would be sure to get a few shots of him standing there -- caring. *yawn*

Moving on to Erie County government. WJET ran a story where the current life insurance policies are going to be reduced from $250,000 to $50,000. Now, although other county employees like the sheriff's office and detectives only get $50,000, big mouth Ron "Whitey" Cleaver (who absolutely needs to take a long walk to the north -- if you catch my drift), could be quoted in the story saying such things as "people are replaceable". HEY ASSHOLE, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT HUMAN BEINGS! I'm not saying that the sheriff's don't deserve more in life insurance, they do! Give them more too! But the thing that pisses me off is that the members of the Hazmat team VOLUNTEER their time for training and responses. They don't get SHIT from the county, and assholes like Whitey and his slap stick team of LOSERS just keep showing people how STUPID and MINDLESS they are! I really have to say how disappointed..no...how big of LOSERS the residents of Erie County are who vote to keep these stupid fuckers in office term after term after term. Why do you people buy the hype? Why do you buy their bullshit? Are you happy with the run down, economic downturn, rat hole of a town Erie has become? <3Erie? NOPE! Maybe if you're a tourist, but this county does nothing for it's citizens. Just for the tourists that come here to swim on a gravel beach (Presque Isle) 3 months out of the year. Citizens of Erie need to wake up and VOTE FOR SOMEONE ELSE! Is Ebert Beeman the best man for the job? Most would think not, but maybe he is the breath of fresh air that this asshole of the Commonwealth needs!
