The Sandusky Regurgitator has obtained a confidential plan concocted by well meaning people to improve the image of the city of Sandusky. The plan bears no date, but local political activists claim that some of the ideas in the plan are already being practiced by the establishment in Sandusky. "Denying the existence of a problem has always been the practice of the establishment," said Sharon Schwanger, a local political activist, "but to publish it in a plan like this is pretty bold. The plan's boldness is only outdone by the boldness of denial itself."
Sandusky Proudr could not be reached for comment.

Thank you for sharing!
That is funny, especially after I went to their lame website and saw their "members". Be afraid, be very afraid!
Dear Funny Cracker,
So glad there's 'a positive voice' - why don't you step-up Cracker and help make it better?
Many residents spend a lot of their free time trying to help promote the good things about Erie County and the
town of Sandusky, Ohio.
You've made your insults...now go out and do something for the good of Erie County...instead of being so very critical as you sit at your computer.
I personally, worked very hard on putting together a website...I am not a paid guru of webbing, not trained in marketing dynamics or web design,
just a volunteer from the private sector; merely a retired-resident of Erie County, trying to put a simple, straight -forward message upon web pages.
Working together with 88+ members to make Sandusky better.

You did a good job on the webpage - and I admire your efforts to promote positivity in the city of Sandusky. If you review this blog you'll see that I agree with you on the fact that positivity is important. This site has outlined several points of improvement for the city's image - and so far most of the points have been acted upon. If problems aren't identified they can't be fixed.
As for the supposed copyright infringement: the post is a joke about enabling low standards in Sandusky. This town could use some thicker skin and the ability to laugh at themselves. Julie Farrar is a good example of being able to laugh at herself. Follow her lead. If the joke bothers you that much, please send me an email at firelands411@yahoo.com and we'll make Sandusky Proud off limits for jokes because of their delicate psyches. (That was a joke, but seriously, email me. I'd enjoy the conversation.)
Weren't these members formally known as "Sandusky Now"?

Sandusky Proud is absolutely not a political group.
We do not endorse political views, candidates, or mandates.
Our Mission Statement is absolutely clear:
'an alliance of community organizationsand individuals whose purpose is, to communicate a positive
message about Sandusky's present and future, to encourage
development and to foster a positive outlook among
Sandusky's residents.' Sound all good to me!

Wilson,
Don't you judge me. I am just saying that I checked out your member list and there are a couple of people that I know on a personal level. They are nothing to be proud of. If you knew them as well as I know them, you would throw them out of your little club on their arses. It makes me question the credibility of your whole group.
As for the web site, I am sorry for insulting you. You probably worked very hard on it.
Sandusky Proud, Sandusky Now, Sandusky Future or whatever they are calling themselves these days, they are still all of the same. The same group of people only different names. If they are not trying to run a campaign, you could have fooled me--signs and all. They held a big pow-wow at the Gazebo yesterday leaving all of us scratching our heads as to what their objective is all about. It sounds like a total brain washing. Is the glass half empty or is it half full type mentality.
What is your name???????????????????????
Who are you????????????????????
Easy to sit back and make fun of people trying to make a difference!
Thick skin. Dude. What a loser.
I'm trying to make a difference too!
Is this MAD MAGAZINE????
The register has really lowered themselves to allow this silly little highschool project to be seen on the site.
THEYT MUST BE REALLY DESPERATE!!!!!!!
FUNNY THOUGH, YOU HAVE THE BALLS TO SIT BEHIND YOUR COMPUTER, IN PRIVATE, CREATING ALL THIS CRAP. BUT YOU DON'T HAVE THE BALLS TO SIGN YOUR NAME???????????????????????????
IF YOUR HAPPY WITH THIS CRAP THEN SIGN YOUR NAME AT THE BOTTOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IT'S JUST LIKE MAD MAGAZINE!! GOOD JOB FOR SPOTTING THAT!!!!!
Sandusky Proud is exclusionary. They're agenda is much like that of the Tea-Cup party. Basically, a group of people who completely misunderstand what they're meeting about at all, and focus on sensation to keep the party going. There's no real substance and no real guidance. I'm a citizen, and I'm not proud of them.
