Congratulations West Bend! Your three self-proclamed "fiscal conservative" school board members just decided to have the district incur needless litigation costs after voting down the GSA application for official status... despite meeting all the club criteria as established by the board. Add these three to the list of good, Christian homophobes: Dave Weigand, Tim Stephanski and Randy Marquardt.
Stay classy West Bend!

Keeping up with Ginny Maziarka
For those of you who are first hearing about Ginny Maziarka, here are two blogs that can get you up to speed on her bigotry. Read the posts and comments backwards if you want to fully grasp how nuts she is:
Sleepless in West Bend - Chronicles Ginny's Library and related follies from April thru September of 2009.
WISSUP - Uncensored - Created by the same person as Sleepless, and was a post-for-post copy of Ginny's WISSUP blog as a place for people to actually comment on what Ginny wrote, once Ginny stopped allowing comments herself.
GinnyMaziarka.com - This has pointed to some pretty funny places in the past. Currently is points back to her own blog.

Why is Ginny Maziarka so afraid of gays?
The latest incarnation of Ginny Maziarka's homophobia is her crusade against the GSA being granted official club status at the high schools.
Head over here to read her nearly incomprehensible rant. Ginny, why is when you organize people to attend a meeting they are called "taxpayers", but when someone who isn't afraid of "the gay" does the same, the people are a "mob"?
Nice work on posting screenshots from Facebook! How can you be sure that Shana's page wasn't hacked though? :)
I'm back.
Thanks to those of you who have sent nice notes asking where I have been. Truth be told, I took a bit of time off because I needed a break from all the hate in West Bend. Honestly, keeping up with Ginny, Mary and their ilk is pretty depressing. From here on out I will try to at least put up a post to allow people to comment.... because we all know Ginny doesn't allow comments on her blog.
Here is a photo of local tea party, creationist, ultra right-wing nutjob radicals Ginny Maziarka and Mary Weigand from the cover of the West Bend, Wisconsin daily newspaper. Ginny and Mary got their undies in a bunch because a local police officer didn't bend over and kiss her ass while she was having people sign a thank you card (seriously?) to Glenn Grothman:

Fun with Tags
Can anyone explain why Ginny felt the need to tag our local YA librarian in this post, which has nothing to do with the West Bend library? Oh right, she is still bitter over what happened 18 months ago.
On another note, it's funny that someone so afraid of what might happen if kids find out about sex has "Deep Throat" on the top of her blog. WISSUP is no longer safe for children!

Talk Radio inspired shooting
Despite your take on the shooting in Arizona, I think public discourse has seemed to reach all-time lows. Belling, Rush and the rest are now doing little more than scaring the shit out of simpleminded folks for ratings. I'll remind you of our own little incident back in March:
From the paper:
Anger over health care boils over
Man accused of threatening Obama, shooting at deputies
By KRISTIN WALDEN Daily News Staff
A drunken rage over health care reform allegedly sent a man on a shooting rampage at his town of Polk home.
Darin E. Haizel, 34, appeared in Washington County Circuit Court Friday on felony charges of attempted first-degree intentional homicide, three counts of first-degree reckless endangerment and one count of intentionally pointing a firearm at a law enforcement officer.
The charges stem a March 19 incident during which Haizel allegedly made threats against President Barack Obama, armed himself with several guns and shot at Washington County Sheriff’s deputies, according to a criminal complaint.
According to the complaint:
Haizel’s girlfriend, who lives with him and their two daughters at the Highway Z home, told deputies Haizel was drunk and had listened to a discussion of health care reform on the radio. The woman told officers Haizel is opposed to health care reform and the president. She said Haizel told her they needed to stockpile food because things were going to get ugly after the reform passed. Haizel allegedly said Obama messed with the Constitution, the country is becoming Communist and he was “going to Washington to kill that (expletive).”
The woman said Haizel continued to drink and yell at the radio. Haizel told her he didn’t want his children to see how bad the world was going to be or live in that kind of situation. Haizel then asked her to wake up the children and talked about having them baptized. At about 11:30 p.m., she said, he sang “I will see you in heaven.”
The woman left the home with the children and called Haizel’s parents, who she said have been able to calm him down in the past. His parents were unable to calm him, however, and Haizel armed himself with a shotgun and assault riffle.
Deputies arrived and reportedly heard a gunshot from inside the house. Five minutes later, deputies said they heard 19 shots in rapid fire, breaking glass and the sound of smoke detectors.
Haizel allegedly shot several more rounds through windows, the home’s siding and roof before climbing out a back window. He walked toward a deputy and shot at him, hitting a tree about 6 to 12 inches away.
That deputy and another deputy returned fired at Haizel, who fell onto a snowbank and eventually dropped his gun.
Deputies found 12 shell casings from a .45 caliber semiautomatic handgun and 19 shell casings from a 7.62 caliber rifle in the house. A total of nearly 6,500 rounds of ammunition were also found in the home.
In addition to the request for charges, the Sheriff’s Department notified the Secret Service of the threat against Obama.
According to Sheriff Dale Schmidt, District Attorney Todd Martens told him the deputies’ use of force was justified under state statutes.
The deputies who responded to the incident — Dirk Stolz and Jeremy Miller — were back at work on Friday.
During Friday’s court appearance, Haizel was in a wheelchair with a bandaged arm.
“We’re asking for a high cash bail, with conditions of absolute sobriety and no possession of firearms. (Haizel), if convicted, faces up to 120 years in prison,” said Martens. “He discharged 31 rounds out of the house surrounded by officers. This was a violent and extremely dangerous situation.”
Martens added that Haizel has a conviction for using a firearm while intoxicated.
Attorney Erin Larsen, however, asked for a “reasonable cash bail,” citing his life-long residency in the county and good court attendance for earlier operating while intoxicated charges.
“This was extremely dangerous behavior. Not only for the officers, but for the individual residents in adjacent homes. If these (allegations) are true, it could have resulted in the death of an officer,” said Judge David Resheske, who set a $100,000 cash bail.
Haizel will next appear in court on April 9.
