People ask, "What's your description of a good newspaper?" I believe a good newspaper is a smorgasbord of information - something for everyone. A good newspaper also is a community talking to itself.

Yep, the power of the pen is only exceeded by the power of the eraser. It happens to all of us once in a while, most likely. But please, Walter...for some reason the word obama continues to be erroneously capitalized. I think it may be a program glitch. Can you check on that for me?

Sometimes there are those who should stop before the fingers hit the keyboard. There are those who write to this blog merely to see their name in print, no matter that their views are twisted and usually not very well thought out.On occasion I am guilty of that, among others (see above)

another weaselly attach dog. maybe YOU should stop before your fingers hit the keyboard.

And then there are those who are AFRAID to see their name in print? But hang in there Sunshine, when obama completely gives America to the terrorists they will kill me long before you. Dust off your forehead for that bar code they will bring for you.

I have searched diligently for a quote that I saw the other day that appropriately fits the likes of you. As soon as I find it, I will plagiarize it for you. It was something about "Your opinion does not matter anyway"

I think we ought to elect Danny Henderson as a commissioner and Parish Swifty at the new fire chief.

without sheila, boggville would be boring. are you jealous of sheila? maybe she should slow down for the slow people. i will request that... SHEILA, would you slow down for the idiots [ a few ] that just cannot keep up or comprehend simple blogging ?

Parrish was the only Commish that was willing to get to the truth and say it out loud.

I know for certain sheila tolley(the real one) has been employeed as a civil contractor in Iraq since 2006. Things are never as they seem. Its deja vu all over again !

parrish was also key in the firing of our previous fire cheif because he didn't get along with him.

i told by wife when tyree was fired that the next cheif would be paid and he would be a friend of at least one commissioner. and whaddaya know...

#11 Sheila Tolley on 08/01/10 at 08:40 AM

Yes Ma'am. I will do that per your request, Rhoda.

#12 Sheila Tolley on 08/01/10 at 08:41 AM

But I am doing pretty good as a fill in, don't you think?

#13 Sheila Tolley on 08/01/10 at 08:45 AM

Yeah, he can Swiftly get there and Parish the fire. Maybe he can even mobilize that well we drilled. It may take a big truck, but we got a credit line now.

#14 non-supporter on 08/01/10 at 08:57 AM

Thank's John for your input. Better stick with Danny while he is still around.

You may seldom agree with her, but to say that her posts are not well thought out is 100% inaccurate.

If you're so weary, go take a nap- a long one.

i thought for sure ole swifty swift had buried his head after all the teen challenge trouble. the ring leader of such a mess swift should be demoted to sweeping floors at jail. that may help make up for some of the money he cost the county and suffering to the neighbors around the troubled boys facility. one stood against 4 and voted for citizens wishes. that takes a real leader and was tommy powers. he forseen what it would be and fought it. HE WAS ALSO RIGHT about the effect it would have on long time citizens of pike. THANKS TOMMY

Doin Great ! the real one is well pleased. and from what I hear 2nd hand..she has become somewhat of a celebrity herself due to her inherent skill as a Belly Dancer !

#18 Sheila Tolley on 08/02/10 at 07:59 AM

Rhoda,
If Parrish Swift is really the coroner, and he spots you and I doing jumping jacks...he will still pronounce us dead.

#19 Sheila Tolley on 08/02/10 at 05:14 PM

They allowed me to take my Persian cat with me to Iran. Her name is Leona. Leona said she has never seen such a big litter box. The entire country is just a big sandy litter box. She was considering enlisting until she saw the uniform she would be forced to wear if ever caught by the enemy. Check this uniform out. Don't miss it.

Our country was given to terrorists long ago.
