Her email address was posted in this entry on Randy’s blog.  I have also setup nocudahywalmart@gmail.com if anyone wants to email me directly instead of posting comments on this site.

Definition of “Astroturfing”

Since the Cudahy blogsphere is hot on astroturf today, I figured I’d give everyone another definition of the term.  From Wikipedia -
“Astroturfing in American English is a neologism for formal public relations campaigns in politics and advertising which seek to create the impression of being spontaneous, grassroots behavior, hence the reference to the artificial grass [...]

The Great Tax Dodge [via Wal-Mart Watch]

Here is an excellent document from Wal-Mart Watch on what Wal-Mart does to get out of paying taxes -

It contradicts what Hollenbeck and his ill informed buddies would have us all believe.

Cudahy’s Pet Turtle

Randy Hollenbeck seems to be turning into a turtle, only poking his head out when he thinks the coast is clear and nobody is watching.  It’s unfortunate he turned off comments on his blog, citing things like “sockpuppeting”, which is the act of posting under a different name.  It’s also ironic, because word on the [...]

Definition of libel

Since the topic of sockpuppeting and misrepresentation has been coming up as of late, I figured I’d help everyone out with a definition I found on dictionary.com. Todays word is libel. My favorite definition of the term is:
Anything that is defamatory or that maliciously or damagingly misrepresents.

Tom Collins

Tom Collins, the person who posted a comment a few days ago on my “Still Waiting” post is actually Randy Hollenbeck.  Randy, it’s really sad that you preach about a recall on your own site, but don’t have the nerve to use your own name when posting on other sites about it.  I was tipped [...]

Still No Answer to a Simple Question

Still no answer from Randy on who he voted for in the last mayoral election.  Randy, I’m going to give you ample opportunity to answer this simple question before I go get the voter roll from the last mayoral election and find out for myself.  While I’m at it, maybe I’ll pull your pal Sue [...]

Fly on the Wall

I’d love to be a fly in the wall during Randy Hollenbeck’s thought process when he comes up with his blog posts.  Randy, do you really think any corporation in their right mind is going to admit that they’re leaving or are intimidated by Wal-Mart!?  Do you think a lowly retail store manager is going [...]

Great Reporting

It amazes me that with all the Wal-Mart buzz after the meeting on Tuesday, nobody is seriously reporting on the fact that the Common Council and CDA both have to approve the planned development at the former iceport site.  Hollenbeck is too busy being patting himself on the back and making pointless phone calls.  The [...]

A View From A Cudahy Teacher

Below is a response that was written by former long-time Cudahy High School teacher Ken Kujawa in repsonse to this article on JS Online:
I was a Cudahy High School teacher for 34 years and lived there for 20 of those years. I have always felt that the town was treated somewhat unfairly in the [...]
