"EAT IT' "weird al" yankovic
Well congratulations all seems we survived another Holiday . Although U.S. forces provided fireworks inside Syria this weekend. All the biggies CNN,FOX, MSNBC have put away the chatter threats and what ever they provide us with on holidays.
On another front politicians were on a roll this weekend. Starting with Hillary and roping off reporters, to Republicans claiming it's midnight in America in New Hampshire? The locals all wondering what their talking about NH unemployment at 3.8%? Yet lets cut Social Security and Medicare but not raise taxes?
Then we are told by these people running for office the United States is no longer revered or respected around the world.
Just maybe they have seen a few of our fast food commercials? It started with that KFC bowl mashed potatoes, chicken, corn gravy all combined in one bowl. Yes even Mr. Chicken has come out with their own version.
Next is this new All-AMERICAN burger from Hardee's... American cheese, two quarter pound beef patties, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles sauce and a spit in half hot dog all on a sesame seed bun!
The next two are near and dear to me PIZZA ! First Little Caesars wraps a foot and a half of bacon around a pizza and we go wow! Little Caesars that dumpy guy seems a little racist for me, pizza, pizza?
Then the pizza that must have my grandmother spinning in her grave at St. Mary's Cemetery is the Pizza Hut pizza with hot dogs in the crust? Not only my grandmother but everyone's Italian grandmother in the North-end of Painesville. It's almost sacrileges.
On Independence Day we hold a hot dog eating contest at Coney Island Because? the big news this year was that Joey Chestnuts didn't win. Some guy named Matt Stonie (hum) ate 62 hot dogs to Joey's 60.
In the female division Miki Sudo ate 38 , her secret she would separate the hot dog from the bun eat it then dip the bun in Chrystal Light?
On another note some poor soul put a lit mortar on his head blowing it off.
What I'm trying to say is there a more logical reason for the world losing respect for us?
Just a thought from me. I believe the Golden Gate Bridge took less time to build then that bridge on Richmond St. over the Grand River! How was the Mardi Gras?

I was thinking about the Richmond St bridge just a few days ago.
It is amazing that it has taken this long and it doesn't look close to finished.
I wondered why they didn't just close it and reroute traffic. Likely would have been 4 months instead of 2+ years.
Oh well!
I thought this site was Painesville Blog, What's happening in Painesville? Not around the country and world. Why not fix what we have here before taking on the world? Who cares what the rest of the world thinks of us? I don't really dwell on minor problems across the globe. ISIS, yes. Russia, yes, Greece a little. But who cares about a firecracker fool in Europe? I do not.
10:29 Sorry. Not much going on. But soon PITP! and everyone will start complaining about all the Reggae music. Maybe we will have a couple of interesting ward races? Just please no more rain.
9:31 Skinner Ave. would have taken the brunt of the traffic.
Bridge is scheduled to be done by October. Bridge itself looks pretty complete, I wonder why getting the road on either side is taking so long.
Mardi Gras wasn't that great. Odd seeing a Native American and Vietnamese food stand and not a Mexican one.
Term,
So??
The traffic has to go somewhere and the job would have been finished a LOT faster. IOW, they have more traffic for 4 months vs everyone else being inconvenienced for two years.
Commenting on past posts about the confederate flag controversy, a resident of Chestnut street is displaying the stars & bars on his home. I wonder if this person is a life long rabble rouser, or a newly minted one born of the past years misfires from the race industry. Painesville doesn't need symbols of hate displayed on its homes. (I don't want to hear that states rights and pride BS) Tackle this one TERM...
re 10:29 hey, at least they don't have any (or not many, anyway) of those awful "indie" bands the millennials seem to love. Have you ever heard some of them? They're unlistenable! These people couldn't sing if their lives depended on it--lol What's mystifying is that some of them are big stars. Remember when there were actual standards in music--you know, like rhythm, for starters.
6:31 Your not going to like this. First off the Confederate battle flag has no business displayed on any Federal, State or Local property.
As much as I have absolutely no use for the flag the owner on Chestnut St. has a first amendment right to fly his flag on his property and I believe even if this flag offends me I protect his right to fly it. America isn't a place where we pick and choose. This is real diversity I have no idea what that persons reasoning is but the Constitution is far more valuable then that flag.
11:20 I have been told your personal appreciation of new music ends when you reach the age of 35?
6:31 here.....term, I do agree with you on the constitutional right and all of that. I wonder about the motive for flying the thing is all. While he has the right to display it, I also have the right to not like it.
If it were not for the fear and pain it brings to black folks, Scarlet, I wouldn't give a damm.
Kudos to the person on chestnut street. You are correct it is his right. He has the right to be offensive if he wants and others have the right to be offended just ignore it if you have a problem. What I'm still trying to figure out, I was Told the rainbow gay pride flag was flying either on the Capitol or White House. So, what business does our government have flying that flag? Neither confederate or rainbow pride should be flying on any government grounds. I find that offensive politicians can pick and choose.
Both Native American and Vietnamese stands were legal citizens, couldn't find legal Mehicanas to sell there. Sorry, but what Donald Trump said was true and I hope he runs for president on that issue.
