Bruce Haywood Is Such A Moron and Hypocrite It Makes My Eyeballs Hurt

I seriously think this idiot needs to be institutionalized. Can manatees be rabid? Because this one definitely is. Somebody in his family needs to take him to the vet at the closest aquarium and have him put down before he hurts himself.

I’ve never seen such a profound case of Trump Derangement Syndrome as I’ve seen in Bruce Haywood. Between his TDS and morbid obesity, Bruce will be in an early grave.

Which is actually fine by me.

Let’s look at Bruce’s latest stupidity:

Property taxes: yes Bruce – they suck. We agree on that. Of course, they go up and up and up because idiots like yourself and Clayton Tucker demand “free” stuff at the schools like three meals a day and endless laptops for everybody. You also demand teachers (and cops) get paid a lot more and have smaller classes. All of that costs a LOT of money – and a BIG chunk comes out of your property taxes. So fuck you. You brought that on yourself.

Bruce REALLY hates those property taxes because he can’t avoid them, like he does with federal income taxes – which he admits he hasn’t paid in 23 years….

You see, Bruce is a parasite. He doesn’t work at the ripe old age of 58. There is no way in hell this is because he retired early due to brains and a successful business. I’m betting it’s because he gets checks from the government. I’m guessing he claims he is “disabled”. In my book, being 200 pounds overweight isn’t an actual disability. It’s proof you’re a gluttonous slob who lacks willpower.

Here is a typical day for Bruce the Parasite: he stays up until 2am posting anti-Trump crap and pro-Beto crap on Facebook while yelling to himself and sputtering saliva all over his own face. This is called “cardio” in Bruce’s house. Then he sleeps until about noon the next day. Then he gets up, eats a big pile of Whattaburger and starts all over again….

Sometimes he switches it up and pours gallons of butter down his gullet at Krab Kingz – his other favorite….

I imagine he just sits all day in a giant La-Z-Boy recliner covered in a plastic liner while he sweats buttery pig grease all over himself, smelling of old lady piss while lounging in his crusty yellow underwear. What a fucking loser….and you and I pay for it.

Electricity bills: Bruce is a massive hypocrite here. Bruce LOVES solar and windmills – the VERY TWO THINGS that are making the grid unstable and require us to spend MORE and MORE money to build RELIABLE power plants powered by natural gas and oil. Hell, just TWO DAYS ago, the wind was essentially ZERO and provided less than ONE HALF OF ONE PERCENT (.004) of the day’s electricity.

On those days, fossil fuels save the day – that means money. Of course, dipshit Bruce never even has to worry about his power going out because he is on a grid with a hospital, according to him. So on those days when power is tight (thanks to greentarded policies pushed by Bruce himself) he is sitting there with his AC on full blast and his pool pump running all day while other people suffer for his stupidity.

Bonus hypocrisy: Bruce the Manatee doesn’t even have solar on his own house!!! What a piece of shit, eh?

***Haywood’s Hovel devoid of any solar panels. What a hypocritical scrote he is.***

Internet bills: more bullshit from the parasite. Internet has gotten WAY cheaper thanks to competition and the arrival of Nextlink – which BRUCE HIMSELF admits he has. It is less than $100 a month and has very good speeds. Any increases in OTHER Internet prices is because morons like Bruce and Clayton Tucker demand that Internet is a RIGHT and everybody should get it free or subsidized – which means the rest of us pay for the freeloaders.

Once again, the rest of us pay for the bums and freeloaders….like Bruce and Clayton…

Phone bill: see the above argument about Internet. All those “Obama phones” and other “free stuff” we hand to freeloaders and bums? The rest of us pay for it. It works the same way as the hospitals. When freeloaders don’t pay their bills, those of us who DO shell out for insurance (like me) get charged $9 for a fucking aspirin so they can make up the losses somewhere else.

What morons like Bruce cannot comprehend is that NOTHING is free. Not school lunches, not Obama phones, not Internet, not trips to the emergency room, not windmills or any of his other libtard pipe dreams. SOMEBODY ELSE pays for it.

The very shit Bruce is whining about is because of policies HE SCREAMS FOR! Can you get any dumber than that? It’s like shooting yourself in the foot and then blaming the company that made the bullet – which sounds exactly like something this idiot might actually do one day. If he could even see his foot, that is.

In short Bruce, shut the fuck up and be happy you are already sponging so much off the taxpayer you can sleep all day and sit around doing nothing but posting Trump screeds and eating junk food in your greasy recliner, you unbelievable parasitic scumbag.

Some Budget Facts

Notes from the latest (8/8/22) City council meeting regarding the budget:

“Salaries will see a 7.4% increase over current budget“– according to City manager Finley deGraffenreid [56 minute mark].

In 2013, total City salaries were approximately $3.9 million [see packet] . In the current budget being discussed, salaries are approximately $7.3 million. This implies a compound annual growth rate of 7.2% per year.

Inflation during that period averaged 2.7%. Therefore, salaries have risen 166% faster than inflation (i.e. 2.6 times faster). There IS and WAS no need for a COLA last month. Employees are ALREADY being compensated far faster than inflation. This is indisputable math. Population growth in Lampasas was negligible at less than 1% per annum.

The retirement plan for the City employees is with the Texas Municipal Retirement System “TMRS”. The employees contribute seven percent (7%) and the City matches at roughly a TWO TO ONE ratio. So the City contributes roughly $14,000 for every $7,000 put in by an employee.

That is REAL money – paid for by YOU.

In 2013, the City contribution rate was 15.21% and carried an annual cost of $661,884. The CURRENT City contribution rate is 16% and carries an annual cost of over $930,000. The City is now close to paying out one million dollars per year just in matching retirement contributions at 2-1.

In 2016, City salaries and benefits made up 28% of the City budget (20% salaries and 8% benefits).

In current budget, salaries and benefits eat up 30% of budget.

So Who Is “Misremembering” The Facts About SRO Screw-Up?

Is it Police Chief Cummings? Mayor Thelma Jean? Randy “Speedbump” Clarke? ‘Doctor’ Chane Rascoe?

Let’s look at the conflicting information given in the SAME ARTICLE today in the Lampasas Dispatch:

Statement #1: “Police Chief Jody Cummings said Lampasas Independent School District Superintendent Dr. Chane Rascoe began discussions about adding SROs immediately after the May 24 shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde.

[Makes it sound like Rascoe is on the ball and immediately dealing with this. Although in my opinion, there isn’t much to deal with. Uvalde fucked up badly. Not us.]

Statement #2: “Councilman Randy Clark expressed his frustration that the discussion was occurring so late in the budget process. “This is last minute… I’m very disappointed about that,” he said. “I’m disappointed that no one is here from the schools”.

Statement #3: [transcript from council video – go to 33:00 mark, as I said days ago] “Mayor TJ Monroe agreed. ‘I think I feel the frustration of all the council,’ she said, adding that the council previously held a special session to discuss the state of the police department and school security.

[This meeting was JUST with Cummings, according to video of 8/8/22 meeting]

“THAT was the point for the school district to say what they needed,but they didn’t come forward,” Monroe said. “We’ve spent the summer working on what we thought was a balanced budget, and now they’ve thrown what could be $300,000 to $400,000 into our budget.”

So in statements #2 and #3 (in the SAME ARTICLE) Thelma and Speedbump are saying the opposite: that Chane and the LISD didn’t make a peep until just recently and are going to blow a $400,000 hole in the budget.

This is typical of City council, of course. Making massive expenditures in a big fat hurry with little to no deliberation. It just so happens this was the ONE time it wasn’t really their fault. Sounds like it was Chane Rascoe’s fault. Or perhaps Chief Cummings never relayed the message after he supposedly met with Chane “immediately after” Uvalde.

Somebody dropped the ball. Of course, we will NEVER hear that admitted (kinda like the skate park fiasco). Instead, the taxpayer just gets soaked to “fix” everything (also like the skate park!).

Of course, there are better solutions than wasting another $400,000. You can find those solutions at the link below:

Thelma Jean Tosses Chane Rascoe Under The (School) Bus. City May Spend Up To $400,000 On “School Resource Officers”

City to Spend $35,300 Just To STUDY Drainage Near Stone Valley Subdivision – Same Subdivision Where City Paid Deorald Finney $33,324 to “Improve Drainage”

The City just voted to ~~waste~~ spend $35,300 to STUDY drainage issues on Fairview Drive – see page 2, Item 7.4 – near the Stone Valley subdivision.

Yes, that would ALSO be the same Stone Valley built by Deorald Finney who was handed $72,000 in ‘free’ electrical hookups by Misti Talbert.

Oddly, in addition to the $72,000 in ‘free’ hookups, Finney was ALSO handed $33,324 in tax dollars “for drainage improvements his contractor will make on Westridge Place…” [see page 10 in Lampasas Dispatch].

So lemme get this straight. The City hands Deorald $33,324 to “improve drainage on Westridge”. NOW there are drainage issues on Fairview – which is literally less than two blocks over.

Gee. I wonder if the two are related! Zac Morris was the only council member to even question this massive expense for a STUDY. The other braindead council members like Williamson, Monroe and Kuehne just whipped out their rubber stamps and wrote the checks.

Ridiculous.

Poor Klueless Kuehne! Last One To Know

When I saw this sign on FB the other day, I literally had one thought: I hope to Christ they don’t let the likes of Cathy Kuehne carry a gun. I doubt she knows how to use one. Swear to God. True story.

Then I saw this today:

BAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I was close. Right church, wrong pew but it was definitely a Kuehne. Poor Kuehne. Guess they know better than to hand a gun to a rabid liberal. Or supporter of BLM commies and scumbags…

I guess they could give him a wooden gun and a single bullet, kinda like Barney Fife…

I can picture already who I think is secretly carrying in the schools: a smart, strapping man who teaches a real subject like math or science, who was probably born in Texas, goes to the gym religiously, eats rare steak three times a week, shoots trap on the weekend, always carries a pocketknife, deer hunted his entire life and hates commies and pinkos. Perfect guy for the job.

Alternatively, the school could maybe get a construction crane and hoist Bruce Haywood up to the top of the school roof and if any shooter enters, a teacher could pull a “SCHOOL SHOOTER EMERGENCY“cord attached to an Indiana-Jones-type booby trap and release Bruce so he rolls down and squashes the miscreant.

Thelma Jean Tosses Chane Rascoe Under The (School) Bus. City May Spend Up To $400,000 On “School Resource Officers”

Since a bunch of cops screwed the pooch in Uvalde back on May 24th 2022, every school district in Texas must now spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on MORE “School Resource Officers” to placate the nervous nellies.

Never mind that the disaster in Uvalde had nothing to do with “not enough officers” and everything to do with about a half dozen missed opportunities, ignored warning signs and major fuckups on the part of those very officers.

Mayor TJ Monroe made it clear who is to blame for her budget being wrecked. Her bony finger is pointed squarely at the Lampasas school district who “never got in touch with us all summer” and which is headed by a guy who makes roughly $220,000 in salary and benefits.

Go to the 33:00 mark:

“Immediately after the incident this summer, we did ask for a session with Chief Cummings ….and at that point it would have been the right time for the school district to say “we need some help” …but they DIDN’T come forward and ….we spent all summer working towards what we think is a balanced budget and now itmay be as much as three or four hundred thousand dollars“

Four hundred thousand dollars??? What in hell planet do these people live on? Also, why do we need to spend $400k when we have THIS?

That’s a question for another post, but I have a few ideas on how you could pay for this to save your precious “balanced budget” – one of which the overpaid Nerf Job Holders like Ryan “Dwight Schrute” Ward will not like one bit.

(1) Claw back the 3% COLA raises you just handed to everybody who works for the City. Why not? Finley already admitted on August 8ththat salaries are going up over SEVEN PERCENT from last year’s budget! Don’t you care about the kids, you selfish meanies? Oh what’s that? That’s YOUR money and you don’t like it being grabbed for a super expensive boondoggle of questionable usefulness? Now you know how I feel when I see you blow $1.4 million on the fucking Hostess House.

(2) Charge every parent $125 per kid for their protection – 3,200 students x $125 is $400,000. If you have three kids, that’ll be $375 per school year – due on the first day of class (payable by personal check or money order, please!) or your child cannot attend class. I don’t want to hear any complaining – you spend more than that on new clothes and shoes. Don’t you care about the kids? The money has to come from SOMEWHERE – why not the parents?

(3) Fire $400,000 worth of useless parasites like Kathy Staruska and any other Nerf jobs that pay princely sums but which educate nobody. Maybe chop Rascoe’s salary by $40,000 too – that’s 10% of what you need right there. Use THAT money to pay for more “resource officers”. Surely your child’s safety is more important than employing a useless paper pusher! Cost = $0.

(4) Get a group of about 20 retired MALE military veterans and have them each volunteer to guard the school one day a month. Kind of like doctors are “on call” at a hospital. One thing we have no shortage of around here is veterans. I even have a “disabled” veteran down the street who gets a HUGE break on his property taxes because he is “disabled” – which is funny, because he ALSO works for the Harker Heights fire department! Amazing what some of these “disabled” veterans can do. Maybe they can “give back to the community” since they get such nice perks like massively reduced property taxes? Just a thought. They should ALREADY know how to handle a gun and take down another human, right? Cost = $0. Or maybe buy them breakfast and lunch.

(5) If you DO pay to hire and equip these “resource officers” for the six-figure sums you are talking about, they must sign an affidavit opening themselves up to criminal and civil charges and lawsuits if they should turn chickenshit (like Uvalde) and run away or fail to engage some scrawny, pussy kid with tattoos on his face who is shooting up a school. You can’t have it both ways. You can’t get paid like a brave soldier who knows his shit but then bungle the job. Sorry.

It is crazy that a mere four months ago, the City of Lampasas and the LISD presumably had a school shooting response plan that was acceptable to everyone. But then some morons in Uvalde screwed the pooch hard in May of this year, and now we have to hire MORE officers? I’m sorry, but a lack of SROs wasn’t the problem in Uvalde. The problem was they didn’t execute properly. There were a LOT of well-paid bodies there standing around twiddling their thumbs.

There Is No God

First it was Markie Post (almost EXACTLY a year ago) and now Olivia Newton John at only 73 years old.

If Heather Locklear dies soon then I’ll really be upset.

There will be no posts for a few days, in honor of Olivia. Every guy who is now in their 50s HAD to have a crush on her back in 1978 after seeing her in Grease. I remember sneaking around and watching that movie at my friend’s house down the street because my parents refused to get cable and it had “bad words” in it. Back then it was essentially rated R in my household. I don’t think they had invented PG-13 yet.

My remarks from a year ago after the death of Markie Post also hold true for Olivia Newton John:

“She always seemed like a down-to-earth and likable woman – unlike most of Hollywood. It’s a shame that someone like her gets taken by cancer while human scum like Nancy Pelosi is still walking and talking at age 81 82. There is truly no justice”

As an 80s music nut, I still have a lot of her songs on my playlist. I think “Magic” might still be my favorite….

R.I.P.

P.S. Dear god – please look after and protect Lynda Carter and Erin Gray.

LISD Costs Up But Enrollment Down

Just a few numbers before school starts…

Back in 2017, the expenditures for the Lampasas Independent School district (LISD) were $30.3 million and enrollment was 3336 (according to The Dispatch)

NOW, we have only 3,200 students enrolled and a budget of $37.7 million.

Cost per pupil has jumped 31% – from $9,000 to $11,780.

The LISD has spent over ONE MILLION DOLLARS on laptops during that period.

Superintendent Chane Rascoe has seen his salary increase from $142,000 to $170,000. An increase of nearly 20%

The governor of Texas is paid $153,750 per year.

That is all.

ATTCM Ryan ‘Dwight Schrute’ Ward Suggests MORE Ridiculous Benefits For City Employees. Including Paid Time Off For Losing Weight and $5 Rounds of Golf. Are Shrutebucks Up Next?

I’m crapping you negative.

I think Assistant To The City Manager (ATTCM) Ryan “Dwight Schrute” Ward has way too much time on his hands if he’s sitting around dreaming up this shit. I think the only thing he has done so far in his six-month tenure is (1) come up with more and more ridiculous ways to waste money and (2) misspell the word ’employees’ in all public correspondence. I’ll get to #2 later.

Apparently having salaries that are far higher than the private sector isn’t enough. Getting random COLA raises isn’t enough. Getting 2-1 retirement matching isn’t enough. Getting ‘longevity pay’ just for hanging around a long time isn’t enough. Getting weeks and weeks of paid vacation isn’t enough. Getting paid sick days that accrue at the rate of 3.69 hours per bi-weekly pay period isn’t enough. Getting every ridiculous federal holiday like Columbus Day and Junteenth Day off isn’t enough.

No, Ryan Schrute wants more. He suggests the following [see page 48] ludicrous benefits be implemented for the City of Lampasas:

PTO for ‘health milestones’ – I can’t copy/paste this tripe and sure don’t want to re-type it, so here is the photo:

I only included this snapshot to back up one of my long-time assertions [see “Spinley deGraffenreid entry HERE] – that “his number one priority is growing the size of government and increasing their salaries and benefits”….and now I have that admitted by them in black and white.

I mean it says it RIGHT THERE: our employees are our number one priority.

In reality, their #1 priority should be shit like filling potholes or making sure clean water comes out of their pipes or being careful stewards of the taxpayers money or serving the citizen efficiently. But that is a joke, of course. The number on priority for Finley and Dwight is looking out for his own – not for the taxpayer.

But here is the funny part:

Ignoring for a moment the monumental unworkability of this hare-brained scheme, it sounds like something out of high school. Complete idiocy. Are you going to weigh employees to see if they’ve made progress? See how much they bench press? Are you going to use a percentage of weight lost (rather than a raw number) to make it fair for the people who are already in decent shape. Maybe put them on a treadmill and test their VOx? What about those employees who are in great shape already? I guess they’re fucked and get nothing? Or maybe they deliberately gain weight just to lose it again for a free week off. Like I said – a very stupid scheme that is ripe for abuse if they ever implement it.

I doubt this dumb idea will ever see the light of day simply because it would have to be so complicated, it is not workable. But to life-long bureaucrats like Dwight Schrute Ward, it seems like an awesome idea. What does that tell you?

The second suggestion is even more ridiculous:

*IT’s **EMPLOYEES**! **NOT EMPLOYEE’S**! NO APOSTROPHE!!! One is for PLURAL and one is for POSSESSIVE*

Dwight thinks it should be $5 for City employees. Shit, why stop there? Just make it free. Maybe throw in some free golf balls and naked lady tees while you’re at it….

So the Special Protected Class known as “City Employee” should get a much larger discount than seniors or military. Because they are so important and they are a Number One Priority!

The balls on this jabroni! Unbelievable. Greens fees are ALREADY very reasonable, if you ask me. If some fucker who owns a $400 driver can’t afford to pay the regular green fee then maybe it’s time to give up the game. Here are the VERY REASONABLE fees for the local course:

But Dwight thinks that’s too much. He wants it to be $5 for the Royalty known as the “City Employee”. Naturally, he manages to get the math wrong in his example:

***There’s that fucking apostrophe again!*** More than one employee is EMPLOYEES. NOT EMPLOYEE’S

Umm, the proposed cost for playing nine holes would be your ridiculous $5 fee plus the $13 for cart rental. That equals $18, my man – not $17. Better go back to Assistant to the City Manager School and brush up on your math.

I love how he rationalizes this horseshit too: hey, the mooch who is only paying $5 will bring others who get to pay full price! So you’re actually getting a good deal!

Only in the mind of a life-long seat-polishing Nerf Job Holder does this make any sense. Maybe I’ll try this at a local restaurant: let me eat my steak and lobster for free and I’ll bring in two other friends who will pay full price. Deal??

Of course, the rational restaurant owner will point out that I myself am taking up the food that COULD have been sold for full price to somebody else. Dwight must think that Van Berry is a moron or something.

It’s also insulting that he claims the course is “subsidized” from the general fund. If Dwight did his homework, he’d see that the golf course brings in a HUGE pile of money every year. A number that grew strongly during and after Covid. It is practically a business unto itself.

If anyone or anything in City government is “subsidized” it’s Ryan Ward’s very existence – he sucks $158,000 tax dollars away from the citizen annually and produces nothing but bad ideas and superfluous apostrophes.

Remember: if you’re REALLY REALLY good and eat your peas and carrots and lose some weight, you will be awarded some Schrutebucks as a reward!!

Why Must the LEDC Lie So Much?

The LEDC website has been revamped and updated at great expense recently. So it is sad to see so much misinformation on there. ‘Misinformation’ is my kind way of saying “blatant lies”. For instance:

Now, that may be true for some of the employees at City Hall like Finley and Dwight Schrute and Mandy Walsh, but for people who work in the real world….no way.

I know that’s bullshit just by looking at it, but I went and did the research anyways.

Here is what the LEDC’s OWN $120,000 Comprehensive Plan says about median household income:

Looks more like $42,000 to me. So did they pay $120,000 to Halff Associates for a study that doesn’t even have the right demographic information? Anything is possible with this group.

And here is data directly from the U.S. Census:

Well, a little bit closer but still not there! I think the citizens AND prospective businesses would be far better served if the LEDC stopped telling fibs for a year or two and were more honest about their situation.
