I am baffled that one man would waste his/her time on such a blog that is basically an endorsement for the democratic party. Why don't you run if you really want a voice or yet make money for your egotistical opinions. If in doing this you fill a void in your life, well then congrats. However, if in filling this void you demean other people, there really is no benefit. Are you making the community a better place? It is the bully mentality that I see. By picking on other people, we can feel better about ourselves. Well everyone has their flaws. We need to be a community united and until we can build each other up instead of breaking each other down; we are just spinning our wheels in the mud.

I could not make heads or tails of it till I got this comment in the same topic tonight:

The anonymous comment was sent to keep the worms in the can. Anyways in a couple of days this election will be in the past. My hope is that you can use your voice to bring good to the community, not cause fractures. Obviously you want people to read what you think, that is the whole purpose of the blog. If you didn't want people to look at it and comment on it, then you wouldn't have set it up this way. Regardless, I see a defense mechanism go up anytime a person disagrees (the best defense is a good offense).
As for Dotster why the hell should a person have to sign their name on a post on a blog? So those who disagree can ostracize the person?
Anyways I am giving you an audience because I care about the community and you do too. By the way, the his/her was not a cheap shot by a marginal idiot, it was referring to the other voice in your household that talks to you on a daily basis.

This second comment sheds a little light on the first and I suppose that they are the same person.  As of this posting I have no clue who Jim Capaldi is or IF I should know who he is.  I do give him credit for following up his intial anonymous said comment with the unmasked version that you see above.  I have had many opportunities to NOT sign my comments that I have posted on other blogs and comments on WWNY news at noon.  I have not only used pguston, but the website to my blog and my real name.....Jim Cummings.  Regarding Dotster and the way his forum is set up.........Even though you can use an anonymous nick it still gives some identity as to who that person is so you can seperate one anonymous from another.  I believe that if you are going to talk shit about someone, then you ought to sign your name to it.  Thanks to Jim Capaldi for following up on his first comment.

Addie Russell Tours the River District

Addie Jenne Russell announces 23 stop of the River District

I will Listen to Anyone

For years people have come up to me and told me things about themselves, much to my dismay.  I have often asked myself........why do they tell me this stuff?  I do not have an answer, nor will I ever find one.  I guess I have that tell me your life story look on my face.....Tonight a friend of mine called me and I could not answer it because I was at a VB meeting.  After I found out why he called I would have left that meeting in an instant, handing over my trusty digital voice recorder to a perfect stranger.  To my shock I found out that Bobby Cantwell was in town.  He was looking to swing a few Addie votes his way.  I am not willing to give anything away but I would be very willing and interested to listen to what Bobby had to say.  Has he forgotten where Uncle Jim lives?  Maybe he also forgot the promise he made to come and have a beer with me back in August. So, Bobby I invite you to tell me your side personally. Before all you negative people start typing your crap as "anonymous saids" forget about it..............

Bobby, I am willing to listen to you until I make my vote on November 4th around 4:30 pm.  But I would not wait that long.....
