[County Administrator] Just in time for the holidays the world is right again! Praise the Lord! The County Administrator is back! He has recuperated from his letter of reprimand-in-file incident and is at it again. He has “created” a new position tailor made for a former clerk of court candidate and current clerk of court employee. The position is “senior director of strategic planning” and pays between $66,000 and $102,000 a year, plus benefits, according to the job posting on the county’s website. The candidate would be responsible for overseeing the implementation of the county’s strategic business plan (What does that mean? Does the County really have a strategic business plan or is that code for something else?) and would be reviewing county divisions and departments to make sure they are operating efficiently, said the Administrator, who is responsible for hiring the person. According to the Administrator, “We need to bring in more credentialed professionals or people with MBAs into that division.” Really? Well, the former clerk of court candidate and current clerk of court employee does not have an MBA, nor is he a Certified Public Accountant. Despite calling for the best qualified person, the position was only advertised in the County’s website, and for less than two weeks. The County did not advertise in national trade magazines or on other websites. The last day to apply for the job is today. When the County Commission met last week, one of the County Commissioners questioned why the county did not expand the search to a bigger area. “I want to make sure we have a good applicant pool and the whole endeavor is done in transparent way,” she said. Well, Commissioner, if you wanted the process to be transparent you should not had made the Administrator responsible for it, since he appears to be transparency challenged. I guess we should consider ourselves lucky that he is not bringing in one of his buddies from Miami. Or, maybe this is his way of disqualifying the local talent and bringing in one of his MBA buddies from Miami. Oh, Oh, Breaking News! The former clerk of court candidate and current clerk of court employee’s first day of work is December the 4th, unless the Commissioners catch too much heat for the latest failed attempt at transparency. |

[Main Stream Media] The poster is right! Seems that with most of the Kennedy’s gone (JFK Jr, Jackie, and a lot of the extended family) the powers that be don’t want to remember the good times to those of us old enough. We were a better society moving towards being a fairer society, still on the gold standard and world leaders bowed to our President. Today, not so much. |

What a tremendous photo Ed posted with the post and documentary involving No Name Key and pro-solar power! I couldn’t help but equate it to the hilarious Eric Idle “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life!” As in “Solar Bright!” It would be incredibly wonderful if a video could be made with “electrifiers” volunteering to attach/crucify themselves on those poles/crosses!

[Food Chopper Woes] I bought an Oneida chopper years back and it still works. Comes apart for cleaning. Sometimes I don’t know which is worse, chopping a few things and having to mess with cleaning it, or just to chop with a knife, wipe it clean, and put it back in the drawer. |

On Tuesday, December 4, Sanctuary Friends will be featuring No Impact Man, a documentary which was the result of a blog and book written by Colin Beavan who made the decision to have his family live for one year with making a minimum impact on the environment. The movie gives a thoughtful and enlightening look into his small family’s sincere attempt to live greener in an urban community. On Tuesday, December 18, Sanctuary Friends will be showing YERT – Your Environmental Road Trip, a 2011 documentary that focuses on the concept of environmental sustainability across all 50 states. Three filmmakers jam into a Hybrid SUV to find those who are trying to creatively deal with global climate change, resource consumption, carbon and garbage generation, food production and living arrangements.

Beware any one that hires Amy Davies. She did a credit card scam at Parrotdise, Golden Margarita and The Curve, also the one on Sugarloaf (mixologist shirts). She was fired from all of those for that reason. Comping meals after the fact to increase the tip-out. The employees (her especially) were robbing all of them blind. ~brooooohahaha@yahoo.com |

[GOP] “I will hug my elephant” That’s what they call it now? |
McCain says he is concerned, as we all are, about four Americans killed in Libya, a country still awash with confusion, heavy weapons and competing factions following it’s ultra violent revolution. Who’s to say the “terrorists” who attacked our embassy weren’t just a random group of street thugs looking for a flimsy excuse to shoot up something with their “toys”. I never heard McCain say he was concerned about the thousands of Americans killed and maimed in Bush’s trumped up bogus war to get Saddam Hussein in Iraq. This GOP witch hunt is so obviously political it’s laughable. |
Could someone tell me again what the Jews did that was so god-awful that Germans killed them on sight? |

Then, just the other day, Mrs. FTR and I got dandy letters in the mail from Social Security. We were advised that each of our monthly Medicare premiums was increasing by over 40%. That’s a huge increase! How many remember Mr. Obama’s promise that the cost of your medical care will drop. That’s only the first bite. The premiums are sure to rise again. Isn’t that just so special — quality of care goes down, costs go up. All well in advance of my fearless forecast. That O is just so warm and cuddly. |
