If we had an election and nobody showed up, does anyone actually care?
I often wonder, that if you put forth 1/2 the effort in to one career, as you put into this blog, how successful you would have actually been.
How much time and energy you have wasted on something of which so few care about.
i just went out and voted for Rep. Kevin Haggerty...
One reason, to piss off Steve Corbett. Not sure if he has a chance to win, but I hope he does.
I don't think either he or Farina will make much of a difference, I was originally gonna go with Frank because I love his commercial with the kid, and he is pretty hot --- I wouldn't mind giving him another kid.
Yonk, I wrote your name in because Cartwright was unopposed and Eddie Day Pashinski was unopposed. What dya think?
Good job on the radio and later on TV. By the way I voted at 8:17 in the morning and was number 1!!!

SOME WOULD. I DON’T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH LOW TURNOUT BECAUSE I DON’T WANT UNINFORMED NUMBSKULLS WHO HEAR THE LAST THING SOMEONE SAYS TO MAKE A DECISION.

ME TOO. I THINK ABOUT THAT EVERYDAY. MY MISTAKE HAS ALWAYS BEEN THAT I WAS ALWAYS LOOKING FOR SOMETHING BETTER INSTEAD OF JUST BLOOMING WHERE I WAS PLANTED. I ALSO WONDER IF I HAD MOVED OUT OF THIS AREA, IF THINGS WOULD HAVE BEEN ANY DIFFERENT. MAYBE. BUT RIGHT NOW I WORK FOR A COMPANY THAT IS FAIR TO ME AND I AM REALLY ENJOYING WHAT I DO THERE. BUT AGAIN, I TAKE YOUR POINT. I THINK IF I HAD REALLY UNDERSTOOD WHAT PEOPLE WERE SAYING TO ME THINGS WOULD BE DIFFERENT.
AS AN EXAMPLE WHEN I WAS IN COLLEGE I’D WORK THE POLLS FOR MY UNCLE TIMMY PRIBULA IN EXETER. PEOPLE WOULD COME UP TO ME AND SAY, “WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?” AND I’D SAY, “HE’S MY UNCLE”> AND THEY’D SAY, “YEAH, BUT WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?” AND I’D REPEAT THE STATEMENT AND THEY’D WALK AWAY LIKE I WAS NUTS. I WAS JUST VERY DUMB WHEN IT CAME TO MATTERS LIKE THAT. I THINK IF I HAD BEEN A GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE, I’D GO THE EXTRA MILE BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT I DO. IT IS IN MY DNA. I WAS TAUGHT EARLY ON IN MY FIRST JOB AT WVIA TV AND FM BY BILL KELLY AND GEORGE STRIMEL, YOU TRY TO EXCEED PEOPLE’S EXPECTATIONS. I STILL TRY TO DO THAT.

THOSE THAT DO MATTER, THAT’S WHY I DO THIS..THOSE THAT DON’T, THEY DON’T GET IT. YOU WRITE THEM OFF AND GO ON.
ALL THAT SAID, LULAC HAS NOT BEEN A WASTE OF TIME. IT HELPED SELL MY BOOKS, GOT ME BACK ON TV WHICH I THOUGHT WOULD NEVER \HAPPEN AND GIVEN ME A STANDARD TO MEET. SO I HAVE NO REGRETS, EVEN THOUGH YOU SEEM TO.

From the Beatles to the Stones and Chuck Volpe, "You Cant Always Get What You Want", no matter how much you spend! Rejected again, Chuck!
Cancel the TV Show, take down the Billboards and pack it in, fella.
Stick a fork in him, he's done.
