Dear Madame Zoltar

Hello, my vibrant violets! How are you? Isn’t it miraculous to see the earth spring back to life after winter? I especially like the sounds of the birds.

Did you see yesterday’s print Journal Times?

See, I told you and them that I would shrivel their newspaper in retaliation for ignoring my mayoral bid. I also predicted the “new and improved” spin that they are putting on the sudden shrinkage. Such is the power of the Zoltar curse!

Speaking of the Journal Times, I want the supposed psychics who have been advertising in that newspaper to know that they have not escaped my attention. I shall address you in a future blog, after I have checked your accreditation with the American Association of Professional Psychics®.

I also want to announce that I will be attending the upcoming bloggers’ bash. I will give a complimentary teaser psychic reading to anyone who so desires. After that, my customary 25% discount for Irregulars applies.

There were no questions or comments for me this week, so I’d just like to comment on the stimulus money that is beginning to trickle in to Racine. To borrow a phrase from Mr. OrbsCorbs, all I can say is: “Party on!” With money falling from the sky onto City Hall, I don’t see how downtown Racine can do anything but improve: more celebrations, more art, more coffee, more pretension. I invite all of Racine’s unemployed and impoverished residents to visit downtown in the coming months to see what the real Racine is all about. See the Heart of the Arts, the Historic District, your downtown. Please remember, though, that while you may look, you cannot touch. And don’t dawdle too long either, unless you’re buying.

That’s my blog, dears. Please send your questions and comments to: madamezoltar@jtirregulars.com.

I hope that you all have a wonderful week. Be careful out there in cyberspace – you never know what username Mr. Becker is hiding behind this week.
