ReplyDeleteIt's nice to hear something positive about Racine and the people here, especially after yesterday. I'm sure the 4 angry people in their basements will have something negative to say about this, but this is a good thing for Racine. Congratulations Catherine!!!
ReplyDeleteFirst off congrats to the YP person of the year.
ReplyDeleteThere are plenty of good things going on in Racine. The problem is that the JT doesn't know how to print good stuff. I understand that the Post is open to printing the good stuff but people have to get it to them. Pete and Dustin keep asking for good news but people have to send it.
If you notice the post is also seeking input with their survey. Something else the JT never does.
Dear 3/04/2010 3:38 PM, Alas, there are more than four angry people in Racine. Even so, they have no gripe with a talented salary serf who's had to serve the Waxtrash in order to survive. Our crusaders for social justice are out to crush her oligarchic oppressors, not this gifted paycheck peon whose only crime was accepting a position at one of their companies.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations coupled with sincere best wishes that a fine person may enjoy an extremely prosperous and Waxfree future!
ReplyDeleteSo Michael is Psychopaathic /Schizophrenic - he writes multiple entries under multiple personalities and then answwrs himslef.
ReplyDeleteThe giveaway is the constant "wax" word.
MIchael - you are a danger to yourself and others. I would seek immediate help. There are hotlines you can call. each day you apparently become more irrational.Feyt help man!
Dear 9{05 PM, You'd be amazed how many angry people use "Wax" in their comments. Until The House of Wax ceases to oppress our people, scads of angry men shall continue to excoriate the Carnauba Court and its Cornell carpetbaggers.
ReplyDeleteDear 3/05/2010 9:05 PM, You bet I'll get help--the Waxbashers, The Alliance, The Wicked Good Militia, the Sons of Khem and several other groups are mobilizing to crush the John-Swines and their evil empire. What came from waxes shall go for taxes.
ReplyDeleteThough it may take us twenty years, we'll crush corporate capitalism.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Catherine. For once, I know the person of the year and I think they did their job right.
ReplyDeleteYou are great,
Best Wishes!
Congratulations Catherine you deserve, young person of the year award.. Delighted for you from all your friends in Ireland..
