Observation Post: All Is Fair In Love & Blogs?
Monday, July 27, 2009 at 9:17AM OBSERVING THE MOVEMENTS OF THE MISGUIDED
After dozens of attempts and years of trying, FranklinNOW’s “Blogger-in Chief” Kevin Fischer, has finally succeeded in “jumping the shark” and the unintended consequences of his "courageous" feat may not be welcomed by this long-time bully of the blogs.
In the comments section of a recent post the “Voice of Franklin,” saw fit to write the following about Freshman School Board member Janet Evans, a favorite target of Fischer’s adolescent, name-calling:
You see, now that I am safely in office, I don't dare write about anything controversial or provocative. Instead, I'll just pose for holy pictures, thank you very much ("I am your voice"). I would rather focus on the next Franklin school bake sale or car wash. I have become Barney of the Blogs! I am now Suzy Cream Cheese!
So, what was the intent behind these latest words of wisdom from this irrelevant, politico groupie? Since I’m not a veteran broadcaster like Fischer, I’m not exactly sure. Is it possible that this legislative aide to laughingstock, state Sen. Mary Lazich was sending his readers some sort of cryptic message? Beats me, I'm as clueless as Sen. Lazich on this, but here are my takeaways.
- Franklin schools bake sales, car washes and Franklin school board members who participate in them: BAD! Dunk Tank fundraisers and Wisconsin state senators who participate in them: GOOD!
- Janet Evans—according to Fischer—is “Barney of the Blogs!” But which “Barney” was Fischer referring to; big purple, loveable, Barney or town drunk Barney? The latter would certainly be ironic.
- For "dessert," the bomb-throwing Fischer sexually degrades Janet Evans by referring to her as a "Suzy Cream Cheese!" Could this derogatory remark be a clue to Fischer's past? Is Kevin Fischer actually an old, closet hippie?!
All kidding aside, the least Fischer should do is apologize to Janet Evans and her family for his vular, public comment. And FranklinNOW editor Mark Maley should publically apologize, as well, for allowing this comment to be posted in the first place.
Finally, BATTLE JOINED can’t help but wonder how Kevin Fischer would react to his brand of personally degrading “commentary,” were it directed at his co-blogger and wife, Jennifer. Is all fair in love & blogs?

I have completed and sent an Abuse Report to FranklinNOW; writing:
Kevin Fischer's reference to Janet Evans as “Suzy Cream Cheese” is sexually degrading to women and should be removed immediately.
At the very least, this publication and Kevin Fischer owe a public apology to Janet Evans and her family for allowing this vulgar comment to be publicly posted in the first place.
I will let you know what, if anything, becomes of it.

Just one more reason to drop the Thursday JS with FranklinNOW.
Left on Kevin's blog:
Kevin, it's obvious by the lack of comments on your blog that you've gone and made yourself irrelevant. What I can't understand, though, is why you'd choose to be so hateful to someone that was such a good friend to you. You and Janet teamed up on dozens of issues. What happened? Did she go off and get a life without you? Shame on you for kicking Janet. You probably don't have a friend left by now.
This will be my only comment here. You will no doubt go into some tirade about my mental health (after all, you're a master at perpetuating lies) or my allies (oh, wait! they were once yours!) or take a whack at the fact that my son can cook and makes a decent pie. (Explain that one to your little girl, Daddy.) Won't matter a hill of beans. You'll still be the guy with multiple DWIs and a blog without comments unless your wife writes.
You are disgusting, and nothing you say in attempt at your defense, except - of course - a sincere apology to Janet, will change that.

Let the games begin.
"I will let you know what, if anything, becomes of it."
I wouldn't hold your breath, Fred. Kevin writes what he writes because he knows there's no consequences. Sen. Lazich won't do anything to him, nor will Mark Maley.
Well written response Cindy. Bravo!!!!
For finding Kevin so irrelevent and "jumping the shark" you all certainly love to talk about him and get your numbers up don't you? Only someone with half a brain would find a Suzy Cream Cheese remark to be sexually derogatory. I am sure now that Ms Evans is in politics she understands that not everyone will be a fan. God help you Fred Keller if you now have a fan in CIndy Kilkenny
Michele,
Do you bother to click links? The “Urban Dictionary” defines “Suzy Cream Cheese” as:
“From the Frank Zappa, meaning an airheaded or naive girl or woman-nice to look at but without substance or intelligence."
[Example] "There is a blonde at work who is tasty to look at but is a real Suzy Cream Cheese. Nothing but sack-fodder."
The same source defines “sack-fodder” as:
“A person, usually female, who would be great for sex but lacks the depth or intelligence needed for a meaningful relationship. Casual sex material only."
[Example] "There's a blonde at work who I could seriously get into, but after knowing her for awhile it turns out she's just Sack Fodder."
Would you like to be called “Suzy Cream Cheese” as defined above? Would Kevin Fischer like it if bloggers referred to Jennifer as “Suzy Cream Cheese”?
My “half-brain” can’t imagine either of you would answer "YES" to that question.
BUILDING A GALLOWS
By now there is enough evidence aboard to make a calculated prediction about Kevin "The Pisher" Fischer. Before I do that, I think it is about time that I explain the bon mot [ "The Pisher" ] that I have a habit of using when referring to Fischer. For those of us unfamiliar with Yiddish, the Urban Dictionary defines the term:
PISHER: "Yiddish word to describe someone who is arrogant, spoiled, and conceited, and thinks he is a big deal. Literally means an adult who is still in wet diapers." "BULLSEYE", Fred????
The prediction: Based on the old adage: "Give 'em enough rope and they'll hang themselves". Lazich's failure to train her hound and the inaction of the gutless, pantywaist Maley may work in the community's favor. As they say, "Time is a great healer". In the end all that will be left is a "scab".
A man on horseback, drunk with gin and flip,
Bawling out - Yoix - and cracking of his whip,
The startish beast took fright, and flop
The mad-brain'd rider tumbled, neck and crop!
~ Edward Nairne's Poems, 1791
"...arrogant, spoiled, and conceited, and thinks he is a big deal...an adult who is still in wet diapers." BULLSEYE! (wetting my pants with laughter)
