Georgia wants to push its border north to the Tennessee River to reach a water source for the drought-stricken Atlanta area. The border dispute dates to 1818.

Great article by Ben Shapiro....

Rumor from a member of the press is that dethroned Tyrone Manager Barry Amos has been lobbying officials in Palmetto to become their Town Manager.

A citizen who felt he had been wronged by a City Council in Missouri went off the deep end yesterday and killed members of the Council. This goes to show how actions of a Government can deeply affect people’s lives. It should also be a warning to Government Officials to treat people fairly. When citizens are ignored & cannot get justice, sometimes they exact their own justice. This is becoming common place because Governments are out of control.

The PTC Chief of Police used to send an official notice to merchants when a policeman or policewoman found something wrong at their place of business! Usually you had already been called to your business--2-3 A.M when it occurred.

Interesting how the new planning commision are the cronies of some of the council. These next few years are going to be very entertaining to watch. The questions of the day are, "Will the 2 ladies of the council mainpulate and pull strings?". "Will the men of council get tired and grow a set and put a stop to crap"?

It wouldn't have mattered who got the republican nomination this election!
I can not think of anyone who could have convinced the majority of Americans to put another one in the White House. McCain will lose.

It appears that the loss of the ultra-right wing Romney quitting, and with the PTC police department fouled up, many of the regulars on here have little to say today!

Just read that there will be no WSB 4th of July Parade! What????? What the heck is this world coming to? Confusion on the road race, cancelling the parade, what next?

The Democrats in Fayette County aren't alone!

From the New York Times:

Only slothful thinkers still view Democrats in the West as Prius-driving latte-sippers along the Left Coast. The larger story is about home-grown identity. Eight of the 11 Western States have Democratic governors. The Democrats picked up two Senate seats in the West in the last two national elections, and are poised to pick up two more this year, in Colorado and New Mexico.

I think the most important thing for everyone to keep in mind is the dauntless courage shown by Sergeant Bergh. As all of us at the police department know, Chief Murray had a long disgusting history of standing in front of his office engaging in sexual and inappropriate conversations either about or in front of his young and attractive female secretaries. He also built and maintained a reputation of destroying anyone who so much as disagreed with anything he did. He ruled the police department through fear. He directed his subordinates Major Dupree, Captain Pye, and Captain Ernst to brow beat, harass, and intimidate anyone who dared to challenge anything he did. It was in that environment that Sergeant Bergh, an officer with a perfect record, a long list of accomplishments at the police department, and a true Street Cop, stood up and took a stand against Murray’s inappropriate behavior. She had NOTHING to gain and everything to loose in challenging Murray. And let me be clear, she knew the risks. For as long as Murray would have been Chief and for as long as his three stooges are in her chain of command she will always be watching her back. That is how they get you, not many can take intense scrutiny for years. Time was on the Chief’s side, and he could get payback years latter. The Chief’s Staff has lied for him so many times in the past that getting them to do it again was no problem. Corporal Lackey on the other hand IS a close friend of the Chief’s and that is why she was hired and promoted to Corporal and given the internet crimes unit without ever having been a shift cop. For those who think you misread that, let me say it again. Corporal Lackey had no experience in law enforcement prior to being assigned to the internet crimes branch. She never “earned her spurs” as a cop. However, the fall out from her false statement about the harassment incident was immediate, she was promoted to Sergeant. She is not even a real police officer and yet now she has supervisory authority. The Chief’s cover up actually worked. Had he not been involved in other misconduct he would have gotten off scot free. Despite the obvious lies told by Lackey and Dupree the City was more than willing to sweep things under the rug and even went so far as to unfound Sergeant Bergh’s allegation despite the fact that they had found sexually explicit web sites on the Chief’s computer. I guess the thinking was that there is just no way that if you are surfing porn all day you would ever consider making an inappropriate sexual remark to or in front of a female subordinate. That makes sense. And just to let those outside of the PD in on a few things that are common knowledge inside of the PD, Major Dupree and Captain Pye drive around together all day long going to garage sales and other shopping trips. They have falsified other officer’s time sheets and denied paying officers for time they actually worked. They have ordered officers to work without pay or compensation. The off duty jobs, which can be a significant increase to an officer’s pay, have been run for year by Major Dupree as a personal gold mine. As a result Dupree, Pye and Ernst get all the pick jobs and the ones that are difficult or that they just do not have time to work they put out for the officers. They have all either back dated or caused to have backdated reports for their accreditation. Does anyone out their really believe that our department is perfect? It is if you invent reports and back date them for the accreditors. Pye and Dupree have both worked off duty jobs while on duty and getting paid for both. Captain Ernst has both reported for duty while reeking of alcohol and has come out on serious incidents while smelling strongly of alcohol. And he has been seen sleeping on duty.

Even though the changes to Tyrone's charter were miniscule (one might ask why they even bothered) take a look at Article 8.102: Existing ordinances and resolutions of the town of Tyrone not inconsistent with the provisions of this chapter (do they mean charter?)shall continue in effect until council has acted on said ordinances and resolutions. Within two years of the effect date of this charter the council shall review all existing ordinances and resolutions, and shall adopt, repeal, modify or amend by majority vote of the council said ordinances and resolutions. All exisiting ordinances and resolutions not acted on by council shall be automatically repealed at the end of the above mentioned two year period.

ater seven pm last night couldn't be read this morning!!!!!!

Gone to Cal's locker room as far as I know.

Not very

I'm very curious as to how the developer got permission for parking on the right-of-way of Palmetto rd in Tyrone. I nev

The plagiarizing journalist Jayson Blair?

Or Jeffc who claims to be Jeff Carter?

You are currently only carrying about a half a day of comments before they sink into eternity. Most people have no chance to see them.

As has been the case for some six months now some four to eight former Army helicopter pilots get together for coffee and breakfast. True to form, a couple "war stories" are aired in the noble cause of oneupmanship.

On January 24 the “new group” held a special called meeting for changing the charter of Tyrone. At that meeting according to The Citizen News the new Town Barrister (at his hourly rate using a common term like attorney is not fitting) Dennis Davenport said “The Town has functioned both previously and still today under a WEAK Mayor model of government.” At that meeting Mayor Rehwaldt stated that it was appropriate for the Town Manger and Police Chief to have hiring and firing responsibility in their respective departments.

I ATTENDED THE SENTENCING HEARING TODAY, FEBRUARY 5, 2008, IN THE STATE COURT OF FAYETTE COUNTY, OF MELISSA PAINTER WHOM TRAGICALLY TOOK THE LIVES OF TWO FINE FAYETTE COUNTY GENTLEMEN AND PUBLIC SERVANTS, LENNIE "THE LOCKSMITH DUNN" AND JOHN MINABERRY WHILE HAVING THREE ANTI-DEPRESSANTS IN HER SYSTEM.MRS. PAINTER WAS ONLY GIVEN TWO YERAS PROBATION FOR HER ACTIONS OF TAKING AWAY TWO GOOD LIVES.

Now that the cat is out of the bag regarding Chief Murray, a couple questions I think are in order.
First, since back in the fall the city was aware of the sex-chat BS on city computers why was this kept "close hold?"

Did you?

Make no mistake about it: If Hillary Clinton is elected president, her husband will be her rogue co-president, causing constant chaos, crises and conflicts for her new administration.

Turtles are people too!

Muddle and Mrs. Muddle hope both of you are home and Mrs. Muddle is doing good.

Cy, glad you had a safe trip home, hope your son is feeling better.

For those of you who are tired of reading the bickering blogs and posts, here's a little break. Seems most of you on here are old enought to remember these. And Hutch, if you miss #18 I'll have to petition Cal to have you removed as a fraud. Sorry, it's a bit lengthy.

Now we have a "stimulus" package. I reckon for stopping the economy from going on down!
I don't know where it goes, but seems to come back after everything is re-distributed better!

9/11? 9/11? Remember?

This fellow walked the street of Manhattan for several days threatening those what done it, badly.

The mayor of Atlanta pretended last week to discover, just now, a $70,000,000 missing amount of money,
The Chief Financial Officer of Atlanta said, "not my yob, man." In a word, she said that each department does their own thing and that she had no way of knowing what was going on.

On Wednesday, our City Council will decide whether or not to require owners of private residences to install sprinkler systems within the city.

(And it will all be downhill, guaranteed)
Unless, of course you are going in the wrong direction!

A wall, similar to the "Great Wall Of China," (to keep out the robber hordes) is to be built (probably not)across our southern border to stop illegal immigration and dope smuggling.
