What do you all think about Dan Speer buying himself a brand new 4X4, V8 Ford Explorer to go with his new job? And was this purchase made at the taxpayer's expense?

Hope he does more in his new job than sit and play Hearts on the computer and give his three computer opponents explicit names!!!! Shame, Shame, I saw you, Mayor Dan. Miss C.
what part of his new jod call for a new suv and not even a base modle at that one with a lot of options
I don't no why anybody wood git mad about da mayor gittin a new suv. I thunk he was beening threfty
just about all da other royals have limos.
I know you try to sound cute chuckles, but you sound as dumb as they come. Please speak on the level that you are on. By the way we do not have any royals in limos. What city are you living in
To the person that emailed this topic to Mr. McPeters,
Why don’t you just write until your hearts content on just why this car deal, or if there is one, is brothering you and what you really know about the subject??
What bothers everyone is that they did not look elsewhere for an EDC Director they put the Mayor of Pulaski in there-who by the way has made the statement he wants Pulaski to be a retirement town! So why will he want new industry in here-he doesn't he took the position to chase more off!!!!!!
What does that have to do with his car?
And was this purchase made at the taxpayer's expense? I think this part of the question is what people want to know about?? What is the vechicle used for, is it his personal use, or official use? If it's his personal vechile, what the problem??
Whitt
Don't you think that an Economic Developer's position requies a vehicle? Why don't you find something worth complaining about.

Excuse me, but Mr. Speer being the EDC bothers not everyone. Please just speak for yourself next time.
Question ? If Mister Speer did receive a NEW SUV, did the previoud Director Mr. Barnes get a NEW vechicle when he was hired?
If it is his personal vechicle why does it have a government tag on it?
Nothing has been established, does Mr. Speer have a new vehicle, is it his personal or job related vehicle and does it really have a government tag on it?? Can anyone answer all three of these questions truthfully? What about the person that requested the topic, can you?
I could have swore there used to be a topic on putting Dan Speer as the EDC Director, am I wrong or did I just read something about it on one of the other topics?
i think it was addressed on another thread.
ok
it is a nissan suv
and big deal
find something happy to talk about
nothing but a bunch of negative nancies here.
sound to me like someone just wanted to vent!!
i know for a fact it is a 2007 ford explorer v8 engine 4X4 with leather seats chrome wheels and grille and no telling what else. that is the issue why was the extra money spent on all those extras when a base modle would have been much cheeper. FYI its not a nissan and the durango is his personal ride
PS and it dose have gov tags.
I believe that our guests should ride in something better than a base model.
you left off "does"
Trimhed, you don't spell model, modle.

kittens are so adorable. so are puppies.
if you have a pet you should go play with it. it's a nice day for it.
it's so sunny outside and not too hot.
ahh...good times!
It were such a nice happy day the mayor went fur a ride in his brand new happymobile. He was a smilin so big an was so happy he desided to call his sectatary an tell her he wuz to happy to cum back to work. While he wuz a talkin on the car phone he runned over my kitten and two cute puppys. I didn't let that make me get mad cause it wus such a nice day fur digin holes. I duged the hole an put my use to be happy kitten and puppys in it cause they was dead. But that were OK cause they was stepfort kitten an puppys an was stil smilin when i put da dirt over them. Happy is as happy does. Chuckles
i walked into the forest. the trees, tall as they were, could not obscure what was to come. i knew it would be any moment but i waited, hoping that moment could last an infinity.
Regardless of the vehicle he drives, how many parking spaces does Dan Speer require? He has an assigned space on the north side of City Hall yet he consistantly parks in front of City Hall. Is his assigned space too far for him to walk? Is he lazy? Or, as i suspect, is he just too good for normal people and follow the rules?
What really get me is Dan, as Mayor, gets mad when an employee of City Hall parks in fron of City Hall, yet it is appropriate for him?
Yup, there are those who must follow the rules and there are those who do so when convenient.

Oh my goodness Chuckles will you please get a life and get off this blog. You without a doubt make me sick. Again I know you think you are being cute, but you are nothing more than a dumb person to me and many others. Surely you can see the light. Or are you just too dumb.
GH
I was riding high in the saddle until my blister broke.
To GH
Just explain to me why Chuckles bothers you so much? His/hers writings exhibit anything but being dumb! Would you be intelligent enough to write such comedy? I bet not!
Leave Chuckles alone, at least he is funny and not calling you names.
Perhaps he or she might consider a career in the field of comedy?
I agree. He is very funny.
Well, why can't he just start his career here?
Chuckles is nothing, and he/she is nothing but funny, If you think so you are in the same class as she/or he is. If you want to speak and be heard as an adult on this blog, you should speak as one. i know you must agree. If we needed comedy we could all watch comedy central.
GH
I don't mind Chuckles' infantile babblings, but it does seem he/she likes to poke fun at southerners. If I am wrong about that, I apologize. But.....if I'm right, he or she owes many of us an apology.
To GH,
My frind Forest says "Happy is as happy does" what I does is be happy
what you does is up to you.
You make me thank about this ol boy I new in LA, thats Lower Alabama if'n you don't no. Anyways he were always mad an out of sorts about sumtin or another. One time his momma made him a berthday cake an put purty candels on it. He got real mad at his momma cause she set them candels on far an they melted. He said they wus his candels an she jus wasted all 25 of them.
Anyways he were always mad an no mater what he never could laugh about nuthing. Finally his momma took him to da docter to see why he were always so cranky an mad. That doctor were a smart doctor an rite away said he had to have a operation an without it he wood always be mad an cranky at da world. So finally he had da operation, they removed the cob an he has ben better ever since. I will give you da docters name when you git ready fur your operation.
To that other feller that said I wus making fun of sutherners I dont no how they can say that when I has been one ever since befor I were born. Besides than he don't even no that suthern has a U in it.
To GH and Anonymous of Poking fun of southerners,
This poem for you both, that are not nice to Chuckles!
I woke early one morning,
The earth lay cool and still
When suddenly a tiny bird
Perched on my window sill,
He sang a song so lovely
So carefree and so gay,
That slowly all my troubles
Began to slip away.
He sang of far off places
Of laughter and of fun,
It seemed his very trilling,
Brought up the morning sun.
I stirred beneath the covers
Crept slowly our of bed,
Then gently shut the window
And crushed his little head.
I’m not a morning person or a fan of people that make smart-aleck remarks to people that are trying to be funny and bring some humor to this blog!!!
Calling us smart alecks? Isn't that a good example of the pot calling the kettle black?
Back to the topic. Does anybody else have a problem with Dan Speer being mayor and economic dictector? Isn't there somebody willing to speak up and do something about it?
It might BE funny if he would lay off of the misspellings.

Thanks for pointing that out.

You can call it anything you want! Have you ever eaten at a Cracker Barrel or Stan’s Restaurant and been amused by their menus?
to anonymous, back to the topic,
the topic is what the mayor is driving. your topic is on another thread.
What bone?
probably a femur or tibia or hip bone -- don't know if the light was bright enought to tell -- there was darkness
He should not have gotten the job in the first place he already had one and doesn't do a very good job at it.
If you don't have money here in Giles County your not heard so unless there is a group of people who are willing to speak out together forget it. Look the last time two individuals spoke out, they went to jail!!!!!!
Who voted to give him the new vehicle? I haven't seen or heard anything about it in the news?
My understanding is that those two people were out of line and unruly. Why is that not a very very distinct possibility? I think it is.
To Anonymous It is obvious that your "understanding" is completely un-balanced or totally uninformed.
I am an attorney and was in the courtroom for the hearings and the trial. I wasn't at the school board meeting but I did listen to the school board tape of the meeting. If there was ever a clear cut abuse of power that was it. I don't know what else those men have done but in this situation they were victims and the jury was right to laught this whole thing out of court with not guilty on all counts. The board owes them an apology and appreciation for not suing the county, city and board.
when we are forunate enough to have an industrial prospect visit our community, it is important that we make a very good first impression. our unemployment rate is about 8%. it would seem that people would be more concerned about job creation than nit picking about a new vehicle for the economic director. don't ask what the community can do for you, ask what you can do for your community. then do it.
AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!
The key word in your statement is COMMUNITY, and a community that works offers opportunities! You have to have a way to pay your bills to help your community if not you are taking from your community. FYI that unemployment rate that you quoted is only people who are drawing unemployment!! The big deal is people are tired of city/county officals taking advantage of tax payer dollars and if this vehicle was bought with tax payer money-SHAME.
Yes lm you are right. Shame. The other vehicle seemed nice enough. The new ride is over the top. Who pays the insurance on the vehicle? It is surely paid with tax dollars and probably doubled when the little man wanted a big expensive ride. Is there a county or city official who will give us this answer?
Don't expect any of the aldermen to question the mayor. Watkins is on the economic dev board and a puppetto the mayor. Paysinger never opens his mouth. He has been a disappointment. A couple of the others will ask questions but the mayor always tries to shut them up real quick. Another hardly shows up for the meetings. Do any of you watch the comedy on television? Er, excuse me, watch the board meetings?
I can't believe you people think that our economic development coordinator does not deserve a vehicle. In what world do you live? Probably the one who elected our executive and commissioners. The one that will hinder any potential progress that we may have. Wake up, and get real!
Hey, anonymous of 9/27/06 at 5:30:28 p.m.
Would you mind writing out several of your blank checks and mailing them to me? Your disregard for money and how tax dollars are spent and accounted for is amazing. It's not about whether or not he deserves a vehicle. Sure the director does. He had one but it wasn't good enough. Somebody had to pay for the new one. The question is who? How much did it cost? How much is the insurance? You're the one snoozing. The rest of us are wide awake and asking questions that should have simple answers.
Wide awake and on drugs?
At least it wasn't like a Lincoln or Mercedes...
I have a question, if it is o.k. for Speer to have a new SUV, why did the pesron before him not have one. Question would Speer not approve it? Surely this makes everyone think, wether you are a Speer fan or not. hummmmmmmmmm
Maybe someone should just call Dan and ask about the vehicle and we could move on to another topic.
we cant move on to another topic there isnt one to move on to
what about that letter to the editor with that woman fussing about kids getting germs from washing the tables at a school
The person before Dan made approximately $15,000 more per year in salary. Did you know that?
Our children have no business wiping down tables in the cafeteria. That is what the cafeteria workers are suppose to do. I know I don't want my children to have their hands in bleach and other types of chemicals not to mention wiping their hands on their clothes only to ruin them. Who came up with this bright idea anyway? Just goes to show you that we have no idea what are children are being exposed to when they are in our care. You can bet that if that was my child someone would be held accountable starting with Mr. Jackson. We are paying a salary to those individuals that are responsible to clean up after our children and my question is why aren't they doing their job instead of making our children. Our children are there to get an education not major in the custodial arts.
I am responding to this because it is a great concern to me. However, we need to start a heading to get others inputs and experiences with the giles county schools unhealthy sanitation issues.
That is so funny. How about the kids who keep their fingers in their noses and mouths?? Maybe that Clorox will kill some of their germs instead of passing them on to the other children, faculty, and staff!!
Wonder what is wrong with making the little darlin's clean up after themselves? After all, they were wallowing in the mess they made before they left it.
Of course, those wearing rubber gloves to eat natural foods fertalized with cow & chicken dung would be horrified to get near just a tweench of chlorox. It might wipe out the good bacteria that twiddles their tongue. Liberalism is much more than a mental disorder.
Based on what I'm seeing of today's children, some custodial training will benefit many in the future.
An anonymous comment was deleted for use of bad language.
My children attended Pulaski Elementary and they wiped tables and I had no problem with it. They did not catch anything. All that letter was for was complaining because one parent was upset because their child had to clean up after others. This practice has been at Pulaski Elementary for I know 16 years and i not sure howlong before that. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT!!!!!!!!!
If people want to complain, please try and complain about something that will make something better. Why don't they compalin about the way the children dress or talk or even the way some act that would be alot more constructive than compalining because their child was made to wipe down a table.
Thank you to the parent with common sense and wisdom.
Teaching children to clean-up around them is a bad thing? I as taught that at home AND at school.
How can anyone worry about a few little germs in an educational systems that teaches fecalism as diiivvveerrssiiiity - a diversity that is promoted, protected, and treasured by those who have learned to sanitize their nasal passages with a little white powder and a straw... Oh, my goodness ... what a nasty thought
My children were taught at home as well to clean-up after themselves. Nothing wrong with being responsible for your messes. However, they put the labels on bottles of chlorox and other chemicals to "KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN". Wonder why that is?? Does it require that much thought to realize why someone would not want their child to have their hands doused in chlorox. Whenever I use a chemical in my home to clean with I always wear gloves to protect my skin. Reason being.....it can damage your skin. Children's skin is delicate and should not be exposed to such chemicals.
Sounds like the responses to my comments regarding this issue may be coming from "SASSY" teachers. Perhaps, the one or ones in question that allow our children to submerge their hands in these chemicals. Again, the point of the matter is..children should not be exposed to these chemicals and also that is what we pay cafeteria workers to do. Or are they above what their job description requires of them? What next? Are our children going to be mopping the floors? Sanitizing the nasty bathrooms? Scrubbring toilets? I know for a fact that after these children dip their hands in this nasty bleach water they have no way to clean their hands in the student bathrooms. Someone needs to look into why we don't have soap in the bathrooms of our schools. People need to pull their heads out of the sand here and look at the problems in the schools where sanitation is an issue among many other issues. What about the staph infection coming out of Richland Elementary? Yeah, no one wants that one to get out. Perhaps, the health dept. should get involved. If that doesn't help it needs to be taken to the next level. Above all else, Mr. Jackson should be taking our children's health and welfare seriously. He needs to get his mind off the politics and "new central office" and get back to the business at hand. Who is looking out for our children when they are not in our care and in the care of the school system? We have a lot of good teachers, but we also have alot that turn a blind eye because they are so miserable in their jobs because of this present administration.
i was wondering how long before the staph infection reached the public.
Chlorine, like Maybelene, is a deadly substance. If Maybelene gets after you - look out! When the Germans hooked up with Chlorine in WWI a whole lot of people got killed & maimed. Chlorine also kills germs that would otherwise kill you. When mixed with sodium, it produces salt (yummmie). Eat too much of it ... stroke time, & you roll over ... kaput ... end of worries. Put sodium chloride in a cut, it burns, but probably wipes the infection critters out. Choride & even Flouride are in your city water to keep the little pond waste varmints out of your tummy - Choice - chloride or varmints with lots of Charmin & Dr. bills. If you were countryfied you'd be thinking of fun thing rather than germs. Chloride is everywhere. Properly diluted & respected, it's a real good thing to have around. If the rug rat is old enough to be in school all day, ride a bike or drive to & from that place of political correctness & sometimes learnin', they should be versed in chloroxocology - how to put water in it & how to make sure mommy doesn't take a bath in it like michael Jackson did. (wonder if they're related) Why not lighten up a bit, grab a bud lite, step on the cat's tail, toss the beer down the hatch, and pretend there's some sanity in this world. If you don't start smilin' & laughin' a little, you're gonna turn into a frog.
I like that!
Heck while we are at it why don't we have them wipe the defacation off the walls in the bathrooms while we are having them wipe up the puke off the cafeteria tables. I mean afterall, if you add a little bleach surely it will kill all the little germies? Then our kiddies hands will smell of feces and bleach. Now that would smell lovely. You always have a smart A@# out there who wants to enlighten us with their ignorance like the above poster who doesn't want to take serious any issue or concern anyone brings to the table. Laugh, make jokes, but when your child or grandchild becomes ill or their clothes ruined because of the unsanitary conditions and unwilling to have the people do the jobs they are hired to do, we will see who laughs. Perhaps, when their clothes are ruined because of getting bleach on them we can charge the cost of purchasing more clothes to the school system. Hmmm wonder if Mr. Jackson's expense account will cover that?? Just a thought! :)
I once had a delightful student who DID wipe his feces on the bathroom wall. He also once left a nice little present on my carpeted floor.
This is NOT the fault of the school faculty and staff! The staff did have to clean it up, too. If there is blame, it mostly lies within the parents. I certainly would have preferred that he do his business in the toilet, wipe his bottom, and flush - like most people do.
P.S. I also once had a student who threw up in his cafeteria tray several times per week. It is silly to think that a student would be asked to clean this up. You failed in making your point.
P.S.S. I also had a student who threw up, today, on a carpeted floor. The janitor cleaned it up.
What is that s'pose to mean?

Are you a teacher and you did not complain? Please come on if you had a student, do this his/her parents would have been called surley? Please tell me you called the parents, and please do not tell me it was a child with a handicap.
no handicap - parents were called many times
Uh.......it is my understanding that kids voluntarily do things in schools like cleaning tables with warm soapy water, putting up chairs so floors can be swept and mopped, etc. Does this not teach citizenship and teamwork? Oh no, we can't have that! We need to call in OSHA and perhaps the ACLU and have this matter investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law! The nerve of those teachers allowing this to happen. Being facetious here, but you catch my drift.
Once again, WAB speaking before he has all of the facts! Everyone needs to remember that you can't believe everything that you read on this blog (bleach, soapy water etc).
You are too G D smart for the rest of the f ing world!
How does your sweet wife live with such a holy terror?
Looks like the point has now been made that there's more than one out there who finds "some people" obnoxious.
To the two anonymously written post of Sunday, October 01, 2006 11:48:03 AM and Sunday, October 01, 2006 12:49:10 PM
Have either of you ever met and spoken in person with Mr. Barrett? You two are way off base!
I'm pretty sure we are right on.
If WAB wants to be a leader in the community, which I don't think will ever happen, he needs to persuade in such a matter that he doesn't offend or alienate people. He can not do that!
You didn’t answer my question, have you ever met and spoken with him personally?
As far as your statement, “He can not do that,” I disagree with you.
How does such a great leader finish fourth in a four horse race? It is because he can't do it!
Yes! I have met him, and I have spoken to him. He has a knowledge and wisdom, but he can not lead. He alienates folks, and his arrogance is unequalled.
Anonymous Sunday, October 01, 2006 6:01:46 PM, “You” allow another person to alienate you. Could it be possible you misconstrue his knowledge and wisdom as arrogance?
NO!
I don't care if you don't like his personality, remember how sweet Ted Bundy was, it's the facts he keeps exposing not what you think his personality is that makes Mr. Barret a valuable asset to this county. Please be encouraged Mr. Barret don't let the dogs nipping at your heels take your mind off what's right. Many more are grateful to you than are against you.
My thought is that those who are against must know something or be close to someone in authority which or whom they do not want to be exposed. The facts are there for all to see and hear. Problem is, some people don't want to believe the facts. They'd rather hide their heads in the sand of ignorance.
(looking left, then looking to the right)
Now, how does the WAB Bash have anything to do with Perks of Office?
MF
Sorry to double post, but I had a question.
Is WAB bashing a Perk of Office? That would explain why it is on this topic.
MF
To those who said and think that many more are grateful than against, see the election results! I agree that WAB could be an asset, he just needs to get his ego out of the way.
I think that is exactly what people are saying.
Maybe if you were unjustly arrested, jailed and vilified, you might have the passion Mr. Barrett has to stand up for what is wrong.
What is wrong anyway? I heard it was a real fiasco at that meeting at that not only Mr. Barrett was out of line, but so was Mr. Gonzales. I'm fairly certain that, in hindsight, Mr. Gonzales rues the day he didn't allow those two to get up and say their piece and sit down.
Anonymous, Tuesday, October 03, 2006 7:15:39 AM I think there is an audio recording of that meeting and that is probably why they were found not guilty.
You are right Gonzales should have let them say what was on their minds and there would have been no problem. I didn’t attend that meeting but I did another and Gonzales and Kennedy did not conduct themselves in a professional manner when Mr. Barrett and Chris Morris ask to speak. It was almost comical.
I can not believe it. Mr. Barrett has gone and done it again. That poor man's family must be ashamed! I would not believe it if I had not seen it with my own two eyes. The nerve of that man and he did it in public. I surely hope it was just a simple misunderstanding but I was passing by his house just the other day and that man was cutting his grass and wearing dark shoes with white socks, HOW COULD HE?
Once again, WHY DO SO MANY PEOPLE GET SO UPSET WHEN MR.BARRETT ASKS A QUESTION?

I haven’t figured out just what your problem is yet, but by the tone of your post I can tell it is personal. So, why don’t you just spit it out and get it over with and while you are at it, just tell us where you finished in your race?
You stated, “I will say that since he has toned it down, he has become slightly more credible. I hope that he keeps it up.”
You are working way too hard posting to keep Mr. Barrett’s mouth shut and I am beginning to wonder what it is you don’t want him to find out and speak about.

For your information I am not gullible and don’t find his “comments” as propaganda. If you will take the time and research the information he writes about, before you start complaining, you will find truth in his post. Why don’t you try that for a change and please spare us anymore of your snips about horse races. Just to prove to you I am not gullible, I know you are trying to shut Mr. Barrett up for good!!
It is quite telling that you have to ask “the guy with the funny blue head” what is his point!

Okay, that sounds fair. (Not really but I'll play along.)
If that is your point, that is your right. So, please go back to my post from topic Monday, the 18th of September...
Here is my challenge to you. I have offered this one before and we got stuck on #2.
What HAS MR.BARRETT BEEN WRONG ABOUT? (I'll list the first one to get you going then you can pick it up from there.)
#1. Mr. Barrett thought the people of Giles Co. were ready for a change and would elect him Commissioner.
Good-luck with #2.
And please remember you cannot blame Mr.Barrett for Hurricane Katrina or prove he was the man on the grassy knoll.

Would you kindly explain how someone could “appear” off base and give examples of the times you thought Mr. Barrett appeared off base…since you say it is often?
To the Blogmaster, Why don’t you give the horse’s ass and friend a thread of their own to bash Mr. Barrett? Maybe that way people could stay on topic and the rest of us wouldn’t need to read their empty thoughts
AND NUMBER 2 IS;
The blogmaster is not capable of giving us enough decent threads to keep this blog interesting.
And I happen to know for a fact that this person you are calling a horse's ass is actually a nice, decent, caring and intelligent individual.
And I believe that you are an idiot!
Try emailing a topic to the blogmaster.
You are either the horse’s ass or you were standing over his/her shoulder, since the post was anonymous.
Idiot? No, I’m actually a nice, decent, caring and intelligent individual that disagrees with you.
Since the post was anonymous? Man, you are a genius!
How about a positive topic, like the Giles County High School Bobcats football success, so far. Even last night's loss to David Lipscomb shouldn't damper this season
Yes the high school is on a positive note but don't go there, there is still a very sticky situation with one of the kids and a thread on that would open up another can of worms.
Well, seems he was wrong in thinking he would be elected. No other examples are necessary. The point people like you fail to grasp is that NOBODY is challenging his rightness or even his wrongness per se. I merely point out his arrogance and know-it-all attitude. If you can't see it, then we have nothing to discuss. Would you not agree?
Yes, I agree. We have nothing to discuss.
To guy with the funny blue head,
Check out his post under Financial Act, where he states, "Don't fall for it Janet."
His hidden agenda has been revealed and has the audacity to call Mr. Barrett's post propaganda. Like I said earlier, he is working “too” hard to keep Mr. Barrett’s mouth shut permanently. I challenged him on how I new he was the horse’s ass posting.
Looks like he has conceded to the fact…there is no Number 2!!
It is no wonder there is little to no credibility on this blog!
There is no credibility because people would rather sling mud and call names instead of stating facts.
How about some facts from you two?
Facts, facts from me?
1.Mr. Barrett is always right. (Proof: check the transcript from his trial)
2. George Bush won the election. (Proof: check the election results)
3. There is not enough evidence to support global warming. (Proof: listen to Al Gore speak)

It's not about the facts that we have. It's about people contesting the facts of others when they have no facts of their own. When thir only defense is I don't like the guy. It's like asking what difference does it make if you show up for battle on a donkey or horse as long as you show up, then dislike someone because of the way they relay the truth. The statement should be "It does'nt matter how Mr. Barrett speaks the truth as long as he speaks the truth".
You should be the guy with the dumb blue head!
Very well put guy with the funny blue head! I couldn't have said it better myself.

I am not. What difference does it make?
Blue Head - Your above comments are right on & extremely well put! Might have made a smart a... comment to you a while back - probably didn't understand, whatever - Apologies & will try to do better. To put it another way, it's humbling to find myself a bit inferior to what you wrote, but great to read something I just couldn't find the words to say.
Dumb, Blue Heads, What kind of idiot does it take to impress someone by saying "Tax dollars are not used the way they should be used"?
Man, that is profound!
That is the difference between us. I am not trying to impress anyone. If I was I would tell you why they call me the guy with the funny blue head. I'm glad to know that I have found your buttons and know how to push them :)

Exactly what are you basing this statement on? If you can’t add any comments with substance and without your smart aleck one liners, go crawl in a hole somewhere!
Everytime I read one of your comments, I fall deeper into the hole.
My buttons are pushed when I want them to be pushed. I am having fun provoking your idiocy.
Oops! Just pushed another button. Let's see what this little button does.
Is someone tapping your button?
Kendrick,
How about getting a new topic. This conversation with the guy with the little swollen head is getting old.
Kind of kinky, too............
....swollen head.......
Please bare with me everyone. I have four more buttons. By the end of the week I should know what each button does when I push it.
Thank you for your patience.
Use caution...we wouldn't want your head to explode.
He's apparently a legend in his OWN mind.
Chuckles...please come back.
What happened to the subject? this is the problem with Blogs. Everyone gets off the subject so easily! So, the mayor gets a new vehicle. Has any other mayor gotten one? Has any other EDC dirctor gotten such an elaborate one if they got one? Have you also noticed there is free parking in front of Dan Speer's insurance business and 2 hour everywhere else? If you don't like what's happening in the city government, why to do the people of Pulaski keep putting him in office? If you don't want him in office, get in your vehicle and take people who won't go to the polls to vote there yourself. It's done everyone else if you want someone else to win. Then again, no one will run against him for some reason. Why? Scared?
First, the Mayor does a great job. Second, the job does not pay enough for a regular person to want it. It is just like most of our aldermen and commissioners, we are usually stuck with who runs. Most of us are not willing to do what it takes to change this.
Well I jus got back frum my vaksion in Lost Wages. I got to tell you them folks got to have da biggest light bill in da hole world. I didn’t do no gamelin I jus gave them some money to help on there light bill. We went out to that big dam you know da one that keeps changin names Hoover then Bolder, then back to Hoover. I guess they just cant make up there mines what to call it. Personal lee I thank naming it after a big rock or a vacuum cleaner is both dumb. Anyways we was glad to git back home an see that everthang wus da same. When I started reading this here blog an seen where that guy with the funny blue head done stole mr anonamous buttons an how mad mr anonamous wus cause his buttons wus being pushed all over da place I knowed I wus realy home.
I kept a readin but don’t see nuthin from Mr Barret an wus a wunderin if somebody done did sumthin to him. Him an that Oreilly guy on da news is da onlyist ones I trust to say whats a goin on. Mr Barret tells me about Giles county an Mr Oreilly tells me about everthang else. Maybe anonamous jus likes to lose arguments to a blue head more than to mr barret. That anonamous is so contrary I bet if he was to drown them rescue people would have to look upstream for his body. Anyhow I jus wanted to say hi everbody an I’m glad to be back.
Chuckles, glad you made it home okay. I just got back home from Mississippi.
Pulaski Electric paid for the Economic Development vehicle!
