Dear Jesus,
I know we really messed up electing this "nutcase" to office the first time. By the second election, we had so many tax ticks and illegal immigrants... there was no chance of "nutcase" losing. I humbly ask you to please send instructions to build an ark and let it rain Lord, let it rain.

Neal Police Chief reports no crime or arrest made during this period. Neal is located between Concord and Molena. The Neal Police Department has been nominated as the best trained force in Georgia.
We do it right for our citizens. We have no mayor, city manager, personnel director or city clerk. Our Chief of Police has no SUV or Crown Vic police interceptor, no radar or speed traps.
Can we write a Chapter about Teen Challenge? C'mon now...just one. A long chapter. With related newspaper articles. With Sheriff reports. Never mind, it definitely needs to be a book by itself. We will use a title like my friend Lewis Grizzard would have used.Like...Teen Challenge ain't no challenge, They ain't got no fence. -or- Take off that orange jumpsuit, that thang glows in the dark. -or- It cost my Dad so much, I coulda stayed at The Hilton. -or- I am here due to Love and Affection. -or- One day Gray give it away and FAG gave it away even quicker. or Don't make me go to FAG, I am Catholic.
I could go on all night, George but American Idol starts in a few minutes. I really did spend the evening with Lewis Grizzard after his Macon concert, we laughed so much. Nite, nite.
Hung Chow calls into work and says, 'Hey, I no come work today, I really sick. Got headache, stomach ache and legs hurt, I no come work.'
The boss says, 'You know something, Hung Chow, I really need you today. When I feel sick like you do, I go to my wife and suggest sex. That Makes everything better and I go to work... You try that.'
Two hours later Hung Chow calls again. 'I do what you say and I feel great. I be at work soon..........You got nice house'
Well Baby....I checked famous people in China and Hung Chow is listed. Google him, very famous, check his occupation, just what we need in our small towns.

Just for starters.
