His name is Robert Vincent Erb. His business, according to Facebook, is Bad Ass Distribution (link), and he does brake jobs, changes flat tires, etc. He’s an Obama hater, Ron Paul-ite, gun lover and, general pissed off citizen.

He’s also a fan of Star Molecules, on Facebook.

 

He lived in Wabash at one time, and operated a business called the Pine Farm Greenhouse. It appears he may have co-owned it with his father.

Court records. Not much, really.

7 seat belt violations, 3 speeding.
Lost house to foreclosure in 2006.

Divorced in 2006

Not sure what this was all about. Had another in 1990, same basic thing.

Interesting case study for someone.

There’s a business in town called Three Rivers Coin and Jewelry Exchange with multiple locations, including Stellhorn Road, Lafayette Street, Coldwater Road and Getz Road. If you travel down Getz, at the corner of Illinois and Covington, you’ve see them waving the “We Buy Gold” signs. They hire everything from people charged with attempted rape, sexual misconduct with a minor, forced sodomy and child molesting.

This is not all of them, I only searched two locations. Look at the last guy.

As I pretty much indicated in this post, the piece of shit, known as Michael Plumadore has admitted to the FBI at approximately 9:00 p.m. tonight that he murdered Aliahna Lemmon.

Burn in hell Plumadore.

Okay, here’s the latest I’ve learned. I cannot reveal my sources for obvious reasons.

From my sources, (paraphrased).  The reason the search was called off may be due to a ponderousness of facts and evidence. The FBI, needing time to obtain federal warrants, today entered the park, as well as other areas to continue the search for evidence. Note: Evidence.

I believe, based on the conversations I have had, they are no longer looking for a missing child that is alive. I know, this is terrible. I’m praying this is not the case, and my tears won’t help. Just pray for her.

Also, it seems Mr. Plumadore has had more brushes with the law, including assaulting a police officer in 2000. See here.

More as this develops.

What a year it’s been in American politics.  No matter where you fall on the political spectrum, you have to admit one thing.  It hasn’t been boring.

It’s hard to remember a time when so many citizens have been galvanized into action.  People, seemingly in record numbers, are sitting up and taking notice of what Washington is doing.  This is confirmed by the raucous town hall meetings and the tea parties held across the country from a couple or so summers ago.

This phenomenon, known as the Tea Party movement, is, of course, a throwback to the original Boston Tea Party wherein disgruntled settlers protested government tyranny by dumping tea into Boston Harbor.  It was a symbol of rebellion, a shouted, “Enough,” by the colonists.

While I haven’t personally attended a tea party, I believe I may have staged a couple of real informal ones in my youth.  Who, after all, hasn’t protested heavy-handed parental interference in the form of curfews and chores?  I clearly remember arguing with my mother about how many nights out were required for my busy social calendar.  Somehow, our numbers never matched.

She learned what a log cabin tea party looked like, and I learned what a log cabin tea party shutdown looked like.

Now I’m the mom.  I don’t have a log cabin on 1.5 acres, but I have an old farmhouse on 3 acres, which gives plenty of room for our local ‘colonists’ to revolt.  And revolt they do.  Read the rest of this entry »

Susan Chilberg, Peter Recchio and company are at it again. This is a pity for those within the TEA Party movement in Indiana that have sacrificed their time and efforts.

This time it started with an email Wednesday by Matt Kibbe, President and CEO of FreedomWorks to Anna Kroyman with the White County Tea Party:

Dear Anna,

FreedomWorks, Hoosiers for a Conservative Senate and local tea parties
are joining forces to host a series of grassroots training events around
Indiana the week of December 12th-16th. I wanted to invite you to join
our grassroots team at any of these exciting events, which will be held
near Lafayette, Elkhart and Indianapolis.

[...]
Sincerely,
Matt Kibbe
President and CEO, FreedomWorks

Pretty clear to me. FreedomWorks, HFCS and local TEA Parties. Read the rest of this entry »

I’m seeing a trend here.  They’re all doing it, and if I want to hop in while there’s still time, I’d better get crackin’.

It’s the presidential campaign.  Still a year out, it’s dominating the news.  Everyone’s writing about it, including the candidates themselves.  And that’s what I’m talking about.

It was during the last election cycle in 2008.  Feeling the weight of civic duty and with a deep, abiding love for God, country, Mom, apple pie, cross country, and Starbucks mochas in my heart, I did the only responsible thing I knew to do.

“I think a mother of boys could straighten out this mess,” the initial press release stated.  “And that’s why I’m running for office.  You know, the oval one with that cool desk and the spectacular drapes that didn’t come from J. C. Penney?”  And with that announcement, the official “Mom for President” campaign was underway.

In the weeks that followed, I laid out my platform.  I’d be tough on crime (just ask the local pantry pirates).  I could empty the prisons (think “really huge gardens with endless weeding beneath the summer sun in polyester jumpsuits”).  I’d secure the borders (ask the bullies who mess with the cubs), and I’d balance the budget.

The fact that I got seven votes, not counting the two voters in our little district, had nothing to do with my message.  After watching the current crop of candidates, I know now what I did wrong – I didn’t write a memoir, and that was my fatal mistake.

And that is to feature people that claim to be republicans in their campaign ads. In this case, Karen Goldner featured John Fabini as a “Republican and small business owner.”

Fabini voted democrat in 2008 and 2010 primaries, and as never voted republican as far back as the 1995 primary.

Gospel of Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves .

“It’s like Woodstock.”  That’s what Mr. Schrock said as we watched the news the other night, noting what’s been taking place in the Big Apple.  Watching the “Occupy Wall Street” protest has been – well, instructive, to say the least.

For nearly four weeks now, they’ve been gathering in parks and streets, stretched out in sleeping bags, marching with signs, tooting horns, and banging drums.  They’re American citizens, this ragtag mob, and as such, are perfectly within their rights to assemble and to speak their minds.

The problem so far has been figuring out what, exactly, is on their minds.  ”Community awareness,” one woolly-headed fellow said, gazing at the camera.  ”Global warming,” someone else offered.  ”Corporate greed!”  ”Social inequality!”  ”Economic inequality!”  Huh?  What?

I couldn’t help but note, as the images streamed in, that in their zeal to stomp out corporate greed, they were dealing a blow to the businesses along the avenue; businesses, mind you, that create jobs and hire people.  Wall Street, it seemed, wasn’t suffering at all.  The “Mom and Pop’s” were.

“If Wall Street goes down,” my financial advisor husband observed, “then so will a whole lot of other people.”  Yes.  There’s that.

“What are they expecting?” said one presidential candidate, “That the Wall Street folks are going to rush out and write them checks?”  Not likely.

Reports coming in have been disturbing.  No one’s showering there.  There’s gratuitous sex in the streets, police cars are being soiled (think ‘human waste’), and drugs are being sold openly.  Which is probably why the synapses of many being interviewed don’t seem be firing too briskly.  Wait.  Maybe it’s the humidity.

Anyway, it’s shameful, that’s what.  This kind of behavior would’ve gotten us paddled as kids.  My mother would never have tolerated such shenanigans.  It would have earned us a serious ear lobe twist with a “Shdop sell aw-gashick,” which is Pennsylvania Dutch for, “Stop these goings-on!”  Or something like that.

This would’ve been followed by orders to “clean that up” and “shick dich kshat awh (act properly)” and “get back to work.”

Hey, maybe I should send my mom to Wall Street.  I’ll bet she could clean it right up, restoring law and order and helping folks down there to find a purpose.

It worked for us.

What is up with Washington?  For all the talk of reconciliation and bipartisanship we’ve heard, there’s sure not much to be had.

Up on the Hill, we’ve got blue dogs, old dogs, new dogs, and, in my opinion, a few dirty dogs, and they’re all fighting.  Like cats and – you know.

It’s enough to make the average citizen throw up his or her hands and shout as one with Dr. Seuss, “Go, dogs, go!”  This is exactly why much is being made of the upcoming elections, which is when said average citizens will get their chance to put some teeth to the woof and help those dogs go.

Author Robert Fulghum says that all he needed to know, he learned in kindergarten.  I would submit to you that all our elected officials need to know, they could learn in elementary school; more specifically, in Mrs. Beehler’s fifth-grade class at Wakarusa Elementary.  That’s where our third son and 23 of his classmates are learning some very valuable lessons about life, responsibility, and running a business, lessons that many in Congress seem to have missed.

Here’s what they’re doing.  Read the rest of this entry »
