Samuel Adams

American Patriot & Politician

1722 - 1803

If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.

Hot Issues From Linn County Iowa

Pinocchio Awards

 

 

 

 

 
Some of our News Media have taken to awarding what they call Pinocchios for statements they find shall we say Dubious. 
 
A few days ago I wrote a post commenting on some of the failings of the LCRCC Facebook Fanpage to wit duplicate postings and photos rotated 90 degrees from what they should be or laying on their sides.
 
I got a response yesterday on the Linn County GOP website.
 
After reading it and checking a few details I am trying to decide exactly how many Pinocchios to award it.
 
Maybe my readers can help me. 
 
The response I mentioned can be found at a post called
 

What happens when we go to the county fair?

 
I include that link for anyone who wished to read it at the source but I will also put a screen shot here
 

What happens when we go to the county fair?

 

 


 

What happens when we go to the county fair? Here's what people see:

Linn County Republicans at the Fair.
Linn County Republicans with Elected Representatives at the Fair.
Linn County Republicans and Candidate representatives meeting constituents and engaging them.
Linn County Republicans running a local straw poll.
Linn County Republicans engaging new people to participate in Caucus.
Linn County Republicans drawing Presidential Candidates.
Linn County Republicans garnering TV coverage at the Fair.
Linn County Republicans holding a Chili Cook-Off Fundraiser.
Linn County Republicans improving profitability of Fundraiser for over a fifty fold increase.

Linn County Republicans garnering news coverage in four newspapers.

And, yes, one person complained that two website and facebook posts had pictures sideways. These were corrected within the first hour after posting.

Presidential Candidate and Senator Lindsey Graham did not complain. He was happy to participate at the Fair!

Our complainer couldn't help at the fair. None of his fellow complainers could also help at the fair. Doesn't seem very Fair, does it?

Success is as success does! With thanks to all those who helped – Linn County Republicans appreciates all you do.

 
 
I am going to have to admit when I saw the following
 
And, yes, one person complained that two website and facebook posts had pictures sideways. These were corrected within the first hour after posting.
 
I was ELATED. I mean FINALLY after multiple postings on this site and multiple people pointing out things like this in the Facebook  Fanpage Comments 
 
Someone actually FIXED something
 
Turns out they just CLAIMED they fixed it
 
There is no Time Stamp on that Linn County GOP Post, but I first read it about 3PM Wednesday after noon
 
It is now  about 2:30 AM Thursday Morning
 
Here is a screen shot of one of the two postings I had in my last article

The only thing I can determine is that the author of

Has their own definition of the word sideways

Or lives in another universe that has a much different temporal flow so that an hour has not in fact passed since the posting. 

 

Be that as it may there was some VERY exciting news in this posting

 Linn County Republicans holding a Chili Cook-Off Fundraiser.

Linn County Republicans improving profitability of Fundraiser for over a fifty fold increase.

 Now that is exciting.  A Fifty fold increase in profitablity of the Chili Cook Off

Why that would mean if they kept to their two hour time schedule, they would have served over 5000 people

Almost 1 a second

If each person got say a cup (8 oz) of Chili

Why that would have been over 340 gallons

Not to mention the 27 thousand dollars they would have had to make to end up with a fifty fold ( 50 times) profitability! 

 

I WILL be expecting our next Treasurers report to reflect this increase in the LCRCC Bank Account.

 

Still in all I am puzzled by the claim that  

 

 These were corrected within the first hour after posting.  

 

I mean WHO makes claims about things that are a matter of public record,

That anyone can see are Not True?

Let me check the other post that was side ways
