Dear Madame Zoltar
Mr. OrbsCorbs is "permanently fucked" (his language) because he's lost a part for his truck. He lost it downstairs in the parking garage. So how far could've it gone? Yet three days of looking for it have been fruitless. The vehicle won't run without it and no one is making the part anymore for a 20 year old vehicle. I've tried to help him primarily by helping him calm down. He gets so very upset at whet he sees as the inequalities of life. I'll pimp his cause here: MISSING: ribbon cable that connects the instrument cluster to the dashboard. It's only about 6 inches long. 1996 GMC Sonoma (S-10) V-6 automatic Mr. OrbsCorbs spoke yesterday with the dealership about the part. They made 6 different set-ups for his truck that year and none of them are in production.. The only way to tell if a vehicle has the matching part is to compare them. Taking them out properly takes about two hours. Going at it with a crowbar should reduce times to 30 minutes. I don't know what else to tell Mr. OrbsCorbs. He gets so upset when something is wrong with the truck.
It looks like Foxconn is going to play this game until the moment that they are granted some money. I'm going to do that, too. My corporation name will be Zoltarconn. I'll promise 8 billion jobs within a week. Just give me the "seed" money. The Japanese won the war. Ha-ha, what a circus to watch. No one knows what to do because Foxconn isn't telling us anything. They're playing us for fools. They're probably right.
Another drowning in Racine County. Just 4 years old. His parents took their eyes off of him "for a second." That's how long it takes young kids to find trouble. If you're going to leave your child alone near a body of water, make sure he/she is wearing a life jacket. Better yet, never leave them alone near water until they learn how to swim. When I grew up, everyone learned how to swim. Today, it appears to be a lost art. How many more children will die before the families, city, county, or schools do something about it? We might even have some future Olympians. With all the water around us, it just makes sense to learn to swim.
The city has hired an outside firm to throw our Machinery Row dollars at:
"RACINE — In response to a June determination from the Wisconsin Department of Administration, the city will hire an Elm Grove firm to address relocation concerns regarding former owners and tenants of the Machinery Row properties.
"Before the city’s Finance and Personnel Committee Monday night, Deputy City Attorney Nicole Larsen discussed the city’s choice of Terra Venture Advisors to evaluate and handle claims for relocation assistance first filed by former 615 Marquette St. tenant Patrick Fagan. Larsen said Monday that no claims have been filed directly with the city as of yet.
"Larsen told the committee that while the city doesn’t have a firm estimate on costs for Terra Venture’s work, the price tag could exceed $150,000.
"'We’re going to say it’s about $150,000 for their fees to do the investigation and to find out what owners and tenants were there,' Larsen said. '(They’ll) work with those tenants to gather business information and establish those claims, and then file a relocation plan with the State of Wisconsin Department of Administration.'"

Die, Machinery Row, die!
Live, JT Irregulars, live!
Thanks for reading my blog this week. I love you all. Be nice to each other. It doesn't hurt.

Send good vibes to Mr. OrbsCorbs for fixing his truck. He tried to save a few dollars. Now he may be bleeding from the nose. How far can a 6 inch, T-ended ribbon cable jump? Maybe he had a zombie one and it needed to get out to bite others.
Die, ribbon cable, die!

WiGWag: News with a twist
From the Wisconsin Gazette:
Public proposal
A sailor on the USS New Mexico proposed to his boyfriend in front of about 200 people who were gathered at the submarine base to welcome the boat home from its first deployment. Dylan Kirchner told the Day of New London that he didn’t care that everybody was watching when Machinist’s Mate Jerrel Revels dropped to one knee and popped the question.
Guns welcome at starbucks
Pro-gun advocates gathered in Starbucks’ stores in August to show their appreciation for the company’s decision to allow weapons inside its locations in states where it’s legal. “Starbucks Appreciation Day” events occurred nationwide, including in Newton, Conn. “Our stores are gathering places for the communities we serve and we respect the diverse views of our customers,” said Zack Hutson. But Starbucks bans free-distribution publications, including this one, from its corporate-owned stores.
Love in the air
New Zealanders Lynley Bendall and Ally Wanikau walked down the aisle of an airplane to exchange vows, becoming one of their nation’s first couple’s to get hitched following the enactment of a new law on Aug. 19. The seatbelt-fasten signs were off. The two have been together 13 years and have three foster children. Along for the ride was “Modern Family” star Jesse Tyler Ferguson.
Oyez, oyez: An opera
Composer Derrick Wang looked to the U.S. capital to inspire his latest work, an opera about two people who’ve forged a friendship despite being adversaries at work – Supreme Court Justices Antonin Scalia, the tenor, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the soprano. Both justices share a love for opera, and they previewed ”Scalia/Ginsburg,” a work in progress, the day after the Court released its rulings on Proposition 8 and the Defense of Marriage Act.
Out in the ring
Darren Young became the first WWE pro wrestler to publicly come out as gay. When TMZ asked if he thought a gay wrestler could be successful in WWE, he said, “Absolutely. Look at me. I’m a WWE Superstar and, to be honest with you, right now, I’ll tell you I’m gay and I’m happy. Very happy.” WWE issued a statement supporting Young’s decision to come out.
How hot?
It’s been so hot in China this month that people are frying bacon on manhole covers, eggs are hatching without incubators and a highway billboard caught fire. The heat wave has been the worst in more than a century, with temps reaching 104 degrees and forcing authorities to issue the emergency declaration usually reserved for typhoons.
Travel plans
Fleeing homosexuality and abortion in the United States, a Christian family got lost at sea. Hannah Gastonguay and her family set sail from San Diego for the tiny south Pacific island nation of Kiribati in May. The family, including an infant, hit storms that left them adrift for weeks until they were rescued. Apparently they didn’t realize Kiribati is disappearing under rising ocean levels due to global warming. Leaders are seeking to move its population.
Dangerous territory
New York City mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner aka Carlos Danger called an opponent “grandpa” at a candidates’ forum sponsored by AARP. The 48-year-old Weiner got into it with 69-year-old George McDonald. Weiner said McDonald had “anger” issues. When McDonald angrily replied that he did not, Weiner said, “Yes, you do, Grandpa.” AARP called the remark “unfortunate.”
Lard lump
A London utility company in early August reported finding a 15-ton blob of congealed fat and baby wipes in a sewer drain. The “fatberg” built up over about six months, according to Thames Water. The blockage was discovered after residents were unable to flush their toilets.
Minor mistake
A Minor League Baseball team affiliated with the Minnesota Twins admits staging a rejection of a marriage proposal as a publicity stunt. Between innings at a Rock Cats game in New Britain, Conn., a man and a woman were on the field for a trivia contest. On the third question, fans heard the man propose and then heard the woman say, “I’m sorry, I can’t, I’m sorry,” before she fled the field.
Russia? no way!
Out celebrity Andy Cohen has resigned as co-host of the 2013 Miss Universe competition, scheduled for Nov. 9 in Moscow. Cohen hosted the 2011 and 2012 pageants and was booked to return this year. But he said that he fears for his safety in Russia, which has criminalized gay behavior as well as public support for gay rights.

"Lunartic"
From the Shepherd Express:
Anyways,
since I’m already feeling half blind, I may as well go all the way and head up
to the Uptowner tavern/charm school where I shall sacrifice a Jackson or two at
Old Crow’s altar. Come along if you’d like, but you buy the first round ’cause
I’m Art Kumbalek and I told you so.
2 minutes ago
I’m Art Kumbalek and man oh manischewitz what a world, ain’a? So I hear
another solar eclipse has come and gone. And I’ll tell you’s, a couple-three
minute sun and moon shadow dance is no big focking deal to me, hell no, not to
a guy who’s been in eclipse for years,
I kid you not.
Yeah
yeah, I saw the photo of our President Orange Circus Peanut staring up at the
eclipse (retina-schmetina, those
astronomer scientists think they know everything, fock ’em); thus completing
the trifecta. And by that I mean he’s always had “dumb” nailed, you bet. He’s
got “deaf” in his hip pocket, since he can’t and won’t listen to anyone or
anything but his own meshugah inner
demons. And now he’s going for “blind.” What a guy. What the fock.
And
speaking of blind, what’s with the big focking type you ask? It’s so I can read
what I’m whipping out on this page here. Apparently, I, too, may have gazed,
sans safety glasses, at the goddamn eclipse a smidge longer than recommended
and now my eyesight seems to have gone all ferkakta
on me, for crying out loud. Cripes, I knew I probably should’ve slaughtered and
sacrificed a goat before the eclipse like I had planned. If I had, maybe I’d be
just peachy now instead of wondering if I should ask for a tin cup and cane for
Christmas this year, what the fock.
