Yes, By George, it’s time for all the candidates to get their signs out. Signs are posted in yards, of those brave enough to show their support, at the intersections and all down the highway. Yes millions of them, ranging from lowly county commissioner all the way to senator and congressmen. Presidential signs will show up sometime after the democrats make up their minds on who is running. No sense for McCain to risk loss of signs before the last minute.
Politics in the south are a hoot anyway but out in the sticks, well, let’s just say nothing is safe. Last year one of our esteemed candidates for Board of Education Superintendent was paying kids a dollar a sign, not to put them out, but to get his opponents signs for a bon fire. He completely denied having any part of it, laid it all at the kids feet. Yes this is the man I want to be the leader at the county BOE! He was beat in the end and he wasn’t happy. He thought he had kissed all the right asses but I guess he came up short or kissed the wrong ass.
Again this year we have my favorite shit stirring commissioner running. I love this guy. He is the kind of politician you either love or hate. Depends on whether he is on your ass or your neighbors ass. I don’t personally know him, but I have voted for him every time, even when he ran for Sheriff. Of course I can’t stand our Sheriff, so it was no contest. Our sheriff is an ass and the shit stirrer can’t stand him. If the sheriff says white, shit stirrer will say black. Most likely the color is a lovely shade of red. He stirred the shit all through the commission office, when accused of letting his county shop slide in all of it, he promptly investigated his own shop and showed the folks what he found. He didn’t hide it. The sheriff pockets extra money, legally, the shit stirrer is constantly on his ass about it.
Mr. Stirrer has an opponent again this year and he seems to have his supporters. his momma was a school teacher at Little Miss’ school, she quit when she didn’t get the asst. principal job. Just as well, I had heard shit on her and even though I didn’t like the guy who got asst. principal, it was better for the school. Miss teacher, snagged me at the school one day, seems she remembered me, I don’t know how, I wasn’t a student of her’s and the year she started I was in the right grade but she had her hands full with every rotten child they could stick her with. New teachers get the bad kids! Anyway, she was sure I would vote for her boy. This is the first time he has dipped his toe in the political pool. I asked her if he knew what he was getting into. He was ready for a change, we are all ready for a change, according to her. He lost my vote right there. I am all for change, get rid of Bush and get past the last 8 years, but I happen to like to know what is going on in the government.
Shit stirrer has taken a liking to seeing himself on TV, but I wouldn’t have known the sheriff gets to keep left over food money without him. If he gets $2. a day to feed the convicts and he can get by with $1. a day he gets to put the extra dollar in his pocket. In a 2 or 3 year period he increased his salary by something like a million dollars. No wonder our convicts look so poorly! They ain’t getting nothing to eat.
I also wouldn’t have known about all the unnecessary long distant calls from the county shops or the revenue commissioners possible affair. Or that other commissioners were sending pornographic emails on the county server. What perverts we elect. And the people who refused to turn over their hard drive for inspection, oh, they will not get my vote. My bet is they are hiding more than porn on them there computers.
Off politics, I am tired of it anyway. I am so ready for November to get here.
Today is the last full day of school for Little Miss. Out at 12 tomorrow and then home for the summer. Lord help me, I ain’t ready for it. No activities planned, never had them before I don’t know why I am thinking I should have them this year. No vacation planned, never went on vacation before, don’t know why I am thinking this year should be different. Mom was suppose to be in her house by now and Little Miss planned to stay a full week, yeah right, but it is looking more like next month before the move and with all the unpacking to do it could be July before that comes about. The little hellions will be here most of the summer, their mom got a new job and she will be needing a babysitter. MIL to the rescue, only she will send them here to play and fight with Little Miss. They need someone for 2 weeks, but I am not throwing my hat in the ring. I don’t need the headache. So any ideas how I can keep my drama queen happy for three whole long months? Yeah, fat lotta help you are being! Bout like Daisy, she ain’t talking neither. Well, I guess I should get off here and clean up the house or surf the net or something. After tomorrow I have no clue how I will get to post, hopefully daily but you have been introduced to my darling daughter, so I haven’t a clue. So until next time…..
HAVE A GREAT DAY AND THANKS FOR VISITING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
