I added one more item to it that I didn&#8217;t pass out <a href=\"http:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/?p=22692\">my first day going door to door<\/a> before driving to Nebraska to watch the full eclipse. It has a little more meat to it. I was pleased with <a href=\"http:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/?p=22677\">the op ed piece<\/a> I wrote for the Tribune so I printed up 5,000 copies in hopes it might make my request for donations a tad more compelling. <em>(I&#8217;d wager that less than one in three voters reads the Trib these days) <\/em>I will resume passing out my literature tomorrow and will do so in such a way that the post office will not call me back to complain that my flyers are touching mail boxes.<\/p>\n<p>One thing puzzles me. I caught 3\/4ths of Barbara Reyelts&#8217;s interviews with school board candidates on Sunday morning (including mine) just as their News Director, Kevin Jacobsen,  told me they would be scheduled. It may be Reyelts&#8217; last appearance on KBJR. I can&#8217;t find them <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kbjr6.com\/search?vendor=ez&#038;qu=school+board+candidates+reyelts\">anywhere on KBJR&#8217;s website<\/a>. That is unusual. The local TV stations do so little &#8220;public affairs&#8221; programming its surprising they would bury the little they produce. I heard that after the first interview, the one between Rosie Loeffler-Kemp and her challenger Kurt Kuehn (pronounced Keen), Rosie read Barbara the riot act. I missed that single interview Sunday but someone captured a blurry video of it. Rosie did not acquit herself very well. Mr. Kuehn did. <\/p>\n<p>Rosie is Annie Harala&#8217;s close ally and both board members worked hard to recruit candidates with the help of folks like AFSCME&#8217;s longtime President, Alan Netland. They want to keep the balance of power unchanged on the Board after Annie&#8217;s departure. In fact, I&#8217;d say that all the new recruits they found sounded a bit fuzzy in the Reyelts&#8217; interviews. Kevin Jacobsen is Annie&#8217;s husband so I can&#8217;t help but wonder if this helps explain why the interviews didn&#8217;t make it to KBJR&#8217;s website. Probably not, but then its hard at times not to scratch one&#8217;s heads over strange doings. In any case, their absence seems like a slap in the face to Barb Reyelts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For reasons that passeth my understanding I have been unable lately to upload my cell phone pics to the blog from my Flickr account&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[129,47],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22757"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=22757"}],"version-history":[{"count":20,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22757\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22778,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22757\/revisions\/22778"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=22757"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=22757"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=22757"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
