Council in Deadlock Over Control of Mayoral Choices

Dave Lambert — Sun, 17 Feb 2008 21:33:00 -0500

See the article by Jim Kufta at Troy-Somerset Gazette 2 18 08.

The article speaks for itself. While my first choice is to serve on the Planning Commission, I will happily accept an appointment to serve on the BZA if that’s the decision of the Mayor and Council.

NRO: Truce Between McCain and Conservatives

Dave Lambert — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 22:57:00 -0500

Good editorial in National Review Online…

…Conservatives and McCain should neither pretend that we have no differences nor obsess about those differences. We should instead work on the common task of building a center-right majority in this election year and future ones, each appreciating that the other will play a different role in that task. So we ask the senator, and his conservative supporters and critics: Any takers?

City Journal Article: Time to Rechristen SCHIP

Dave Lambert — Sat, 09 Feb 2008 22:47:00 -0500

According to Dr. David Gratzer:

In January, Congress tried and failed for the second time to override President Bush’s veto of a Democratic proposal to expand the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP), a 10-year-old initiative that aimed to extend coverage to low-income kids. Congressional leaders promise another attempt in the coming weeks. The rhetoric has been hot: Republicans claim that the Democratic proposal would lead to socialized medicine by creating a middle-class entitlement; Democrats claim that their proposal is vital to poor kids. Unfortunately, this ongoing Washington power struggle will do little to strengthen America’s torn health-care safety net...

Update on Shooting Rampage at Kirkwood City Council

Dave Lambert — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 17:09:00 -0500

According to CNN, Mike Lynch died from his injuries. Mike was always a friendly fellow with all kinds of ideas and advice. He was an example of a public servant. Please pray for his family.

The others who lost their lives were Council Member Connie Karr, Public Works Director Kenneth Yost, and Kirkwood Police Officers Tom Ballman and Bill Biggs.

Why is it that CNN (and other media outlets) features a picture of the murderer on its web page instead of the victims? Why does the news media glorify sick and evil people?

I’m placing a picture of Mike on my blog to remember him for his service.

St. Louis Post-Dispatch: 6 dead in shooting rampage at Kirkwood City Council

Dave Lambert — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 08:55:00 -0500

When I was still on the Troy City Council, I served with one of the shooting victims on a committee of the National League of Cities. I’m unable to determine whether Councilmember Michael Lynch has survived the attack. Please keep him and all of the other innocent victims in your prayers.

According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the murderer...

… fired at City Attorney John Hessel, who told McNichols he fended the attacker off by throwing chairs…

I have to wonder what the outcome would have been if the City Attorney (or some other city official) had been carrying a revolver? Would lives have been saved?

Romney to Withdraw

Dave Lambert — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 13:12:00 -0500

Mitt Romney quote from Byron York at National Review Online...

... I disagree with Senator McCain on a number of issues, as you know. But I agree with him on doing whatever it takes to be successful in Iraq, on finding and executing Osama bin Laden, and on eliminating Al Qaeda and terror. If I fight on in my campaign, all the way to the convention, I would forestall the launch of a national campaign and make it more likely that Senator Clinton or Obama would win. And in this time of war, I simply cannot let my campaign, be a part of aiding a surrender to terror. This is not an easy decision for me. I hate to lose. My family, my friends and our supporters... many of you right here in this room... have given a great deal to get me where I have a shot at becoming President. If this were only about me, I would go on. But I entered this race because I love America, and because I love America, I feel I must now stand aside, for our party and for our country.

Happy Chinese New Year

10th Annual CMN Chili Cookoff

Dave Lambert — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 23:03:00 -0500
From CMN...

It's here at last... After MANY inquiries from our beloved, yet over-salivating producer-chefs, the 10th Annual CMN Chili Cook-Off has been announced!

Monday, February 18 · 6:30PM to 8:30PM @ CMN

If you ask me, you simply can't find a tastier way to spend a Monday night. This event is open (and FREE) to those who just wish to "graze and judge," or participate as contestants for the coveted "Doctorate of Chiliology" Certificate and prize.

Ask yourself, "If I weren't going to CMN, what else would I do that night?" The football season is over, and do you really want to file your taxes when there is such a delicious alternative?

Why not reheat that winning recipe you cranked out on the day before and haul it in to CMN? Bring along a serving spoon for your crockpot, and whatever other condiments you think might "put it over the top"-you just might win a prize.

We'll provide the beverages and a few sweets to eat; you bring your appetite. The 10th Annual CMN Chili Cook-Off at CMN in Troy... where EVERYONE is a judge!

Cooks please RSVP before 5 PM February 15 at 248-589-7778.
