Todd Stroger Vs. The Media
Ever feel the need to throttle your public officials? Please remember that I live in Cook County, Illinois where our motto is vote often. Todd Stroger was voted the Cook County President several months ago (don’t get me going on this one — but let me say I did not vote for him!).
Todd was asked what the biggest challenge facing Cook County. Was his answer the $500 billion budget deficit? No. How about the layoffs that had to occur? Nope. The biggest challenge has been the media. What??!!?? What kind of answer is that????? He is mad because the media has portrayed him in a bad light. Well, let’s see. First, quit hiring your friends and family. Then quit putting them in high paying positions. Then don’t make $20 million in changes to the budget after it has been approved.
All the newspapers did was report it. I guess he’s ticked, because the press didn’t bend over for him.
What’s been happening – Part III
So hopefully you had a chance to read Part I and Part II.
The fact that Madison needs glasses now made me upset. I am not sure why. I called Bill crying (which if you know me — I don’t cry). I am much better about the whole situation, but I am still not sure about why I reacted the way I did.
So, I have been an emotional wreck (which is so unlike me) all week. That about sums everything up. The weekend can only get better, right?
That brings me to Part III. I had a meeting for a side job on Wednesday. I get there and hook my laptop. Everything seems to go working fine. Then I try to get on the internet, and my computer shuts itself off. I go and turn it back on, and it won’t load. Since I can’t do anything, they send me home.
So again, I call Bill all upset. I went home and got my start-up disks hoping that would solve my problem. Nope. I ended up dropping it off at a computer repair center. It is about 5 am Friday morning, and I have not heard back from them yet. Should I be getting nervous? I am hoping that if I blew up the computer they will tell me soon, so I can start shopping for a new laptop. Even though it is a little less than two years old, it is outdated already (which is so sad).
