please feel free to add your

OWN versions of this Q and A).

DR. PHIL:
The problem we have here is that this chicken won't realize that he must first deal with the problem on 'THIS' side of the road before it goes after the problem on the 'OTHER SIDE' of the road. What we need to do is help him realize how stupid he's acting by not taking on his 'CURRENT' problems before adding 'NEW' problems.

OPRAH:
Well, I understand that the chicken is having problems, which is why he wants to cross this road so bad. So instead of having the chicken learn from his mistakes and take falls, which is a part of life, I'm going to give this chicken a car so that he can just drive across the road and not live his life like the rest of the chickens.

GEORGE W. BUSH:
We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road, or not. The chicken is either against us, or for us. There is no middle ground here.

COLIN POWELL:
Now to the left of the screen, you can clearly see the satellite image of the chicken crossing the road...

ANDERSON COOPER - CNN:
We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have not yet been allowed to have access to the other side of the road.

JOHN KERRY:
Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road, I am now against it! It was the wrong road to cross, and I was misled about the chicken's intentions. I am not for it now, and will remain against it.

NANCY GRACE:
That chicken crossed the road because he's GUILTY! You can see it in his eyes and the way he walks.

PAT BUCHANAN:
To steal the job of a decent, hardworking American.

MARTHA STEWART:
No one called me to warn me which way that chicken was going. I had a standing order at the Farmer's Market to sell my eggs when the price dropped to a certain level. No little bird gave me any insider information.

DR SEUSS:
Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes, the chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed I've not been told.

ERNEST HEMINGWAY:
To die in the rain. Alone.

JERRY FALWELL:
Because the chicken was gay! Can't you people see the plain truth?' That's why they call it the 'other side.' Yes, my friends, that chicken is gay. And if you eat that chicken, you will become gay too. I say we boycott all chickens until we sort out this abomination that the liberal media white washes with seemingly harmless phrases like 'the other side. That chicken should not be crossing the road. It's as plain and as simple as that.

GRANDPA:
In my day we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Somebody told us the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough.

BARBARA WALTERS:
Isn't that interesting? In a few moments, we will be listening to the chicken tell, for the first time, the heart warming story of how it experienced a serious case of molting, and went on to accomplish its life long dream of crossing the road.

JOHN LENNON:
Imagine all the chickens in the world crossing roads together, in peace.

ARISTOTLE:
It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.

BILL GATES:
I have just released eChicken2007, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your check book. Internet Explorer is an integral part of eChicken. This new platform is much more stable and will never cra...#@&&^(C% ........ reboot.

ALBERT EINSTEIN:
Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road move beneath the chicken?

BILL CLINTON:
I did not cross the road with THAT chicken. What is your definition of chicken?

AL GORE:
I invented the chicken!

COLONEL SANDERS:
Did I miss one?

DICK CHENEY :
Where's my gun?

AL SHARPTON:
Why are all the chickens white? We need some black chickens.

and last but not least...........................

VILLAGE OF PLEASANT PRAIRIE leadership:
The chicken is boring. The citizens should not be interested in the chicken. We have taken care of the chicken. Relax, the chicken is fine. Your 'prurient' interest in the chicken is clearly self-serving. WE might let you hear audio recordings of the chicken, but you will not be able to see the chicken video. Stop asking about the chicken, if you insist on asking about the chicken again, you and the chicken will regret it.

NO APOLOGY, NO CONTRIBUTION

The lastest (12/3/2007) meeting video is up on YOUTUBE. For everyones info: I am getting better used to YOUTUBE so you will see that the meetings and the video clips are now in tidy buckets (playlists). The village UNANIMOUSLY approved putting audio of meetings on the official website. I appreciate the baby steps, but they will find that it really takes no more work to do video. So, go ahead and play your games.....

I was hoping to see someone step up and do the right thing and apologize for the insensitive comment heard during the discussion (11/5/2007) on the Hispanic female that was injured due to slipping at the RecPlex Pool.

I personally don't believe its likely that the village is liable for the injury. Signs appear to be posted, and it only makes sense NOT to walk on slippery tiles when they are wet, BUT AGAIN its how things are handled that leave a lot to be desired.

A BIG "NO COMPRENDE" to the new financial guru of the Village Board -- Trustee Clyde "On Whose Side?" Allen. By the way, this is the same financial guru who didn't think the Trustee Serpe quoted $105,000 estimate for videotaping meetings was enough so he raised it to $175,000! Not one peep as to why this new figure was justified.

The slipping injury incident could have made this go away by a simple apology, but this is an example of the sin (although dis-tasteful) being less wrong than the lack of atonement, remorse, and even more the OFFICIAL cover-up.

Village Administrator Mike Pollocoff did the usual 'song and dance' about what belongs in MINUTES and what doesn't. If he followed his own rules then perhaps things would be fine, BUT the rule is applied whenever it suits THEIR political needs.

The RULE you ask: According to Mr. Pollocoff, Robert's Rules of Order is the protocol of the day, and MINUTES will ONLY reflect meeting content that was recognized by Robert's. This implies that anything not recognized by the chair is forbidden from appearing in the minutes and likewise implies that anything recognized by the chair should be documented precisely. HMMM? Only time will tell if in fact these "rules" are being applied as stated.

The Board has it easy. They have the hired hand Pollocoff doing all their political dirty work, and THEY can appear to 'rise above it all'. This applies to research, action, and also to direct and visible activity at board meetings. Blind following doesn't take much work either. Must be nice!

When is the last time the BOARD disagreed with him?? Hmmm?
