you know id rather see you put as much effort into saving the res, of this county money on taxes instead of as you
call it building a crown jewel. most people keep there crown jewels close to home. they put them on the fence for all the neighbors to grab,

Greg Dunn is not the only one up for reelection July 18. Linda Wells has oposition as well from Sam Chapman and Jack Smith. Either one is a better choice.

If you think Bush is a better president than Clinton was, the majority of America disagrees with you..
CNN National Poll: Clinton outperformed Bush

You are correct. Government does not generate income, the hard working citizens and tax payers do! Representative Lakly regrets his failure to recognize that the tax payers generated the surplus, not the General Assembly or Governor Perdue.

Can you please reset the number of Recent Comments displayed from 10 to at least 20 in Admin?

There is plenty more than enough column space and in posting flurries posts get driven off the Index Page way too fast.

Mr. Hobbs, I did not say you were "nit-picking". I appreciated your initial posting, intended no animosity and did not question the ruling of the board. I was merely asking if you could direct me to the law you were referencing because I was unable to find it on my own. Your attitude in the first paragraph leads me to believe that you, as a member of the Board of Elections and one who is very involved in the political process, do not appreciate voters who try to stay informed. Please tell me that you prefer informed over apathetic.

In my life, I’ve met three people who lived in Nazi Germany during World War II.

Freida, my neighbor, was the daughter of a burgermeister (mayor) of a town in Bavaria. Franz was a violin teacher who ended up working at a forced-labor camp, one step above a concentration camp. Otto was a one-legged former Wehrmacht sergeant who cut GIs’ hair at the Army base in Germany where I served.

It is sometimes said that ours is the Post-modern age, and this is often taken to mean that civilization has outgrown the benighted notion that there is such a thing as truth. Visit a major university campus (and stray far enough from the science buildings) and the relativists may be seen grazing in “immence herds,” as Meriwether Lewis might have put it. Eavesdrop in the campus coffee house (the one closest to the Religious Studies department) and you may pick up snippets of conversation confirming the identity of the species. “But truth is merely a social construct, tethered to our linguistic practices,” insists one. “All metanarratives are transparent attempts at political domination and oppression and must be deconstructed!” exclaims another, heatedly. Yet a third suggests that “truth is whatever our colleagues will allow us to get away with saying.” In such a context, to suggest that any religious belief or worldview is simply *true* is, as one author has put it, about as welcome as a temperance sermon in a local tavern. To claim that the practices of some foreign culture are immoral is like showing up at a black tie affair wearing a tank top and boxers.

I found the code for qualifying for the board of education where it states that a person may not be employed and "serve" on the board.

Don't you folks think you are being just a bit nit-picky. I mean Ms. Seabolt is only a substitute assistant principal now and that's only til the end of this month. Frankly, I look at it as one more way that makes her highly qualified for the Post 5 school board seat she is seeking. Wouldn't you rather have an official that knows the school system and what's happening in it right now! I certainly hope this lady appeals the ruling so we have an opportunity to elect her to the school board.

Fifties retro atmosphere, doo wop music, great food, who could ask for more? About darn time Tyrone got a decent place to eat.

Friends of Fayette County,

This election is not about the Sheriff despite what you may think. No, this election is about the growth of our County.

Right now I am listening to Lou Dobbs.

He did an article that just totally burns me up.

Aparently the Border Patrol is tipping off the Mexican government where such as the Minutemen are. And the Mexicans are diverting illegals away from those areas for crossing.

If anyone has them to sell, please let me know. I missed the deadline to buy season passes and would love four seats-together, to this concert. Prefer Saturday night.

Sam Chapman is running for County Commissioner and in his own mind - Chairman.

John Daly is running from his past and wants to be a champion golfer.

Help me somebody..please. I have an obnoxious neighbor that has the ugliest dog in the world and he let's it run wild and he doesn't much give a rip that it hangs in my yard and leaves piles all the time. He can't even take a hint when I take my blower and blow the feces back across the street into nice little piles around his mailbox. Animal Control is a joke and I just can't get the nerve to take his dog out.

I will not be comin’ back this way; I’ve tarried here too long from a shortening day.

Been interesting, but I got to go see what’s just over the hill. When a body is a part of the over-the-hill gang, you find a lot of fun just ever pokin’ your head up.

The Caldwell and Furr blog brigade on this site is like Colonal Sanders watchin the chickin house,,,,,,

I talked to someone from Lowes today.

He said the number one location they are looking to use in PTC is on 54, just west of Home Depot, on the other side of the road.

For those of you living in Tyrone, you must voice your opposing views to those elected officials not complying with the citizen’s requests. This week’s council meeting was just another example that 3 of the 5 don’t care as they have their own agenda.

Tonight Tyrone's Mayor Lee Struck Again...She had to break the tie. Caldwell and Furr for approval for allowing funding for improving Shamrock Park based on the surveys from the citizens and Smola and Letorneau opposed to putting any money into improving Shamrock Park.

Oh Webmaster of the Citizen blog. Any chance you can fix the time on your server?

Your computer forgot that daylight savings time has already come and is showing post times that are off by an hour.

Why doesn't the city want to extend MacDuff, both ways, to create a by-pass?

Why isn't PTC requiring the shopping dev

When danger and duty collide within a there-but-for-the-grace-of-God-go-I situation, words that make it easier to discount and disregard another’s humanity are rummaged up. To wit, on the killing fields of combat, troopers have found it more tolerable to dispatch a foe that is consider to be nothing more than a gook or slope or maybe a towel head.

I was told today that a lot of homes are for sale. Is that true?

That sure isn't going to encouraging buying or help

When are they going to widen planterra ridge to four lanes? It was a nice short-cut around 74/54 traffic, but it's starting to back up too.

I would just like to give a huge THANKS to Rock Knapp. I met Rock when my son Tyler Betsill was on "Chalk Talk Live", ever since that time Rock has not only been a friend to my family but a real inspiration to me. This man has and always will go out of his way to help the kids of whatever community he is a part of. There are no other words to describe him, a man who has undying love for kids and a love for the Lord,(and football of course).

What a tragic path we have taken.

By invading Iraq we have destroyed Iran's greatest natural enemy. We have turned a nation that was opposed to Al Qaeda into a haven for Al Qaeda.

I have no dog in this fight. I’m happy with the police protection that we receive in this county and I’m pleased that the county commission is fighting to maintain the high standards we have here as to our housing densities and tax rates.
