Return deposit

During his stump speech in Middletown the other night, CD 12 candidate Scott Sipprelle told a touching story of his formative years. Of how he learned personal responsibility from his father, which lead to his Wall Street success and is pertinent to our current situation in Washington.

Scott recounted that the time as a young boy he approached his father and asked for an allowance. "What's an allowance?" Scott said was his father's reply. "It's money that parents give to kids so that they can buy things."

"I have a better idea," said Dudley, the wise foreign service officer. "Why don't you make all the money you want to by picking up bottles on the street and returning them to the stores for the nickel deposits." At that moment Scott Sipprelle became a capitalist.

Who knew that they give back nickel deposits to American kids on bottles in Istanbul?

Wow, Art. Sipprelle has really gotten under your skin. Your feeble attemps at mockery aren't doing your buddy Halfacre any good. The nastier and more personal you get, the more you turn people off.

You think this is nasty and personal?

I've decided to leave the really good stuff for Rush Holt's opposition researchers to spring in October, should Scott get that far.

desperate, just like halfbaker. art buys halfbaker complete B.S. explanation on his position on the boy scouts and won't let the most feeble of alleged issues with sipprelle go. why doesn't art do an analysis of halbaker's multiple pension padding public jobs? I am sure that would never be an issue. Holt wouldn't even waste his time with halfbaker even if he could somehow pull this out because halfbaker doesn't even have enough money on hand to run for town council, let alone congress.

Oh well played. Don't actually put anything out just imply there are worse things the day before the selection. But really Sipp has been exposed for giving a few dollars to Schumer and even worse, (gasp) not being a professional politician and mayor of a two bit town. I mean can there really be anything worse? Even if he beats his wife, steals alms from the blind and is a satanist, no big deal. I mean really. Sipp has experience being a part time mayor and showing up twice a month to maybe vote on things the administrator prepared, how can Sipp possibly be ready for congress. What more evil secrets can be out there about Sipp. I mean the guy is only a successful business man who made a fortune, how can that compare to someone being a local lawyer. AND HE GAVE A FEW BUCKS TO CHUCK, MY GOD THAT IS WORSE THEN MOLESTING CHILDREN. CAN THERE REALLY BE ANYTHING ELSE LURKING IN THE DARK ABOUT SIPP???

Whether you support Siprelle, or Halfacre, you have to give Art credit for posting comments attacking him. One more thing Art, that picture of Pelosi looks like a still from the, ahem, near "climax" of a porn movie.

Absolutely, positively the FUNNIEST thing I have read on a blog in a loooonnnggg time. Thanks, Anony.

I don't get this "Instanbul" thing. Art you've now become almost totally incoherent. And by the way, your claim that you'll "leave the really good stuff for Ruch Holt's opposition researchers to spring in October" is laughable. You've fed everything you could to Halfacre already and it blew up in his (and your) face.

Sipprelle will win! That's what matters.

Half-a-Brain is just that, Half-a Brain. Does not stand a chance.

Sipprelle grew up in Turkey

3:45: hope you stick around: very funny, we sure need your levity the way THIS year's shaping up,so far!

"Sipprelle grew up in Turkey."

Art: Sipprelle did not "grow up" in Turkey, and he never lived in Instanbul. Sipprelle lived in Turkey for a several years as a kid when his parents were assigned to Turkey by the State Department. Your information sources aren't too good. You need to get your facts correct before you post things.

Where did he grow up, New York? I don't remember New Jersey ever having a bottle return program.

Those were our days said...

didn't think he's old enough, but, yes, we actually had a bottle-return for money here in Jersey:.. living at the Shore, in the summer, picking up bottles and cans and turning them in at the gas station, (actually a first re-cycling effort), got many of us kids our Dots,licorice, those waxy little juice bottles, and other "penny candies," back in the day!.. we called it being outside and being kids.. it was a nice touch, actually, and Scott has improved these last months..

Art is an angry man who fancies himself a kingmaker. He's a Bill O'Reilly wannabe. In other words, he's a bloviating bully and unless you kiss his fat ass (the one that matches his over-inflated ego)he will do his level best to destroy you. With Art any tactics will do no matter how low or how false.

You've been irrelevant for a while Art and the ironic thing is you were responsible for your own undoing because character will out and people know you for what you are. I too have a "mole" in the Republican Party and I can tell you you have become a joke. A bad one because nobody's laughing they're just talking about your raging egomania. You're actually considered an embarassing liability. I would love to sign my name to this but for the sake of my "mole" I can't so I won't.

One last thing, Sipprelle is going to mop the floor with your boy Halfacre. Why? Because Sipprelle's
integrity and intelligence is easily communicated. He talks and people listen because he isn't a party shill like you. He has his own ideas unlike you and yours who only do whatever is politically expedient. You Art are all about the power whereas Sipprelle is all about people. Keep up your nasty work and we'll all have to thank you when all your hard (dirty) work puts Sipprelle over the top!

Now, now, now.. said...

I think we need a time-out for the sad and angry Halfacre supporters to calm down, accept they made some mistakes, and show everyone else they really are team-playing Republicans, and stop lashing out at the guy who gives people the chance to debate, discuss, criticize,and support our current and future leaders.. cool it, kids..

Art is an enigma. He goes from censorship on his blog to an open mike over the course of a few days and from being a total mouthpiece to something approaching objectivity (underline approaching) as witness his report from the Middlesex convention which displayed some insight and interesting analytic commentary.

Mix it up said...

perhaps it just may be to inspire true thoughts and opinions, and facilitate debate and arrive at some consensus or position?..

I love Atr.

I disagree with his choice this time but its his blog and he can run it any dam way he pleases

Some of the comments attacking him are really out their.

If you don't like what he says dont read him. or better yet start your own blog. Its pretty easy
