Bamboozled & Bullshited

So what will I blog about tonight?

The other night, just before filming Mr. Winky, I was asked....... "JC when will you post something exciting or interesting.........you and Dotster [abay.com] have become boring lately".  Funny, the same person that was asking me this question also made the following comment about fellow blogger Dotster and myself behind our backs.  She stated that "those blogs do not have any credibility what so-ever, and who in their right mind would ever read such crap" [paraphrase].  Last June the Village of Alex Bay Web site was born as a knee jerk reaction to Abay.com forums and their independent thinking forum members.  The Village Board wanted to create an informational web site that would end all the commenting about local politics that existed in the forums. So if you have never been to the Village web site CLICK HERE.  The VB was a little vague about their new website and what the final bill was.............at least $1,000.00.

One Thousand Dollars out of our pockets for a website that has sat static with no update since before April 14th.  The Village site was just updated today sometime after 6 AM [when I last checked it]  So now it shows the next scheduled VB meeting for May 12th.  Evidently the April 28th meeting never happened because it was never announced on the website.  The editor of the Village web site did not even update the new contact info for the Acting Village Justice........K. Butcher has replaced S. Mcdonald [ as of 4.28.09] [wink].

The Town of Alexandria web site which can be found by CLICKING HERE. Apparently it is in a worse state as a reliable source of information [last agenda info was Sept 2008].  The Town also paid around the same amount for their web site.  Money not well spent at all.......

Wanna see a local government web site with lots of potential?  Check out the TOWN OF THERESA web site by Clicking Here.  They even have a Visitor Counter so they can keep track of vital stats..........now there is a novel idea.........

Our 2 local government web sites are not credible what so ever.  They are full of outdated and erroneous information.........ENJOY being  bamboozled and bullshited.............BON APPETIT

It would be nice if the Town Of Theresa would budget some money for their park.
