Rose, several years ago there was a life long resident of Clay County brought plans and a developer to the higher echelon of the county, the developer proposed to build an Industrial park with two manufacturing companies that would have employed over a hundred employees each, including what we call today, a strip mall, with major drug company, major supermarket, a credit union and a couple of other businesses that had signed a five-year lease.
This would have been located at the top of Dobinspic hill, with its own water and sewage facility.
The good people running things in Clay nipped it in the Butt, this was (gan green Don) (Uncle Murray) (Jimmy the embezzler) (Sutton’s brothers, Pig Jr. 1&2) (Mullins, that had all those ugly girls, whomever they belong to) (a Reid) that's just a few that was at the meeting.
Well, the final word was they didn't want that business in the county because they couldn't get their tongues in the honey jar, or something like that, isn't that a shame???????????????
Who got hurt, not him, he left here and I heard became very successful!
Who did it hurt; the people of Clay and there still
hurting because of those-stupid people in charge.
I’m sorry for you that is trying to help the people
There but I think you are up a creek with out a you
know what!!!!!!!!!
I moved across the County line so I don’t have to pay
for that Dum- s**t!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ROSE said...

LOL A bologna roast? Yikes!

See, Anon, this is the kind of thing I've never understood.

In my 35 years in Clay, the economic growth highlights are: a drive-thru, a GoMart & a Family Dollar.

Dealings in Clay have always been "my way or the highway" & "if I don't benefit, nobody does." That's the mentality we've got to get away from.

In this little burg, it's almost impossible to elect anybody who isn't related to somebody. Surely to goodness, though, there's a blacksheep in the family somewhere that'd buck the system & do us some good.

All of that dismal history is true. But here's the good part. The bluebloods have died off and their kids left or turned into druggies unable to assume the throne.
When JD went to the slammer, there was no one to fill his shoes.Clay is a wide open ball game.
look at us in the last 12 months. a group is settin up a railroad; we have a new lake; another group is working to develop Elk River tourism, and they are working on the county's first EVER public camp ground.
All that and without one ounce of blueblood influence because they have no influence.
Clay County is growing for the first time ever. Get on board!

ROSE said...

LOL b...rulz. But I think what you mean is BAAAAA BAAAAAAAAA!!

Ya know, Anon, you're absolutely right. The only problem with the new regiment is lack of publicity. Not much reaches my end of the county, ya know. We get our Progress Updates via Haley's Comet. teeheehee

pig meat that is tainted!! YUCK!

Someone should ask Mr. Nichols about his dealings the fine JM and the fine RS (you know, the one that used to run naked thru hartland packin' a pistol) and also with the former owner of the funeral home. there was a lot of money passing from cn to cw via certified checks, supposedly for 'rent', and letter upon letter from RS from the slammer (not to mention collect calls.) ever wonder why m gibson would need CN's old truck? Why? CN filed banruptcy and promptly got wifey a new lincoln. sounds like an avenue for us all to take.

and yeah, link hanging out at the holiday inn lounge, he was there on business-my ass!! His poor poor wife, no, i bet she would even vote for MP.

I posted on Democrat's site 'but you can't manage to figure out how to create & maintain a simple blog'. Guess what? My post disappeared. Then I said 'that must have been some training session with MP, for you to go from knowing nothing to being a expert & never even meeting her or talking to her!' Guess what? that also disappeared.

I'm seeing a pattern here. It's a size XL & comes with free moving sleeves for easy slapping.

It's illegal to annoy
A new federal law states that when you annoy someone on the Internet, you must disclose your identity. Here's the relevant language.
"Whoever...utilizes any device or software that can be used to originate telecommunications or other types of communications that are transmitted, in whole or in part, by the Internet... without disclosing his identity and with intent to annoy, abuse, threaten, or harass any person...who receives the communications...shall be fined under title 18 or imprisoned not more than two years, or both."
Buried deep in the new law is Sec. 113, an innocuously titled bit called "Preventing Cyberstalking." It rewrites existing telephone harassment law to prohibit anyone from using the Internet "without disclosing his identity and with intent to annoy."
To grease the rails for this idea, Sen. Arlen Specter, a Pennsylvania Republican, and the section's other sponsors slipped it into an unrelated, must-pass bill to fund the Department of Justice. The plan: to make it politically infeasible for politicians to oppose the measure.
The tactic worked. The bill cleared the House of Representatives by voice vote, and the Senate unanimously approved it Dec. 16.
There's an interesting side note. An earlier version that the House approved in September had radically different wording. It was reasonable by comparison, and criminalized only using an "interactive computer service" to cause someone "substantial emotional harm."
That kind of prohibition might make sense. But why should merely annoying someone be illegal?
There are perfectly legitimate reasons to set up a Web site or write something incendiary without telling everyone exactly who you are.
Think about it: A woman fired by a manager who demanded sexual favors wants to blog about it without divulging her full name. An aspiring pundit hopes to set up the next Suck.com. A frustrated citizen wants to send e-mail describing corruption in local government without worrying about reprisals.
In each of those three cases, someone's probably going to be annoyed. That's enough to make the action a crime. (The Justice Department won't file charges in every case, of course, but trusting prosecutorial discretion is hardly reassuring.)
Clinton Fein, a San Francisco resident who runs the Annoy.com site, says a feature permitting visitors to send obnoxious and profane postcards through e-mail could be imperiled.
"Who decides what's annoying? That's the ultimate question," Fein said. He added: "If you send an annoying message via the United States Post Office, do you have to reveal your identity?"
Fein once sued to overturn part of the Communications Decency Act that outlawed transmitting indecent material "with intent to annoy." But the courts ruled the law applied only to obscene material, so Annoy.com didn't have to worry.
"I'm certainly not going to close the site down," Fein said on Friday. "I would fight it on First Amendment grounds."
He's right. Our esteemed politicians can't seem to grasp this simple point, but the First Amendment protects our right to write something that annoys someone else.
It even shields our right to do it anonymously. U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas defended this principle magnificently in a 1995 case involving an Ohio woman who was punished for distributing anonymous political pamphlets.
If President Bush truly believed in the principle of limited government (it is in his official bio), he'd realize that the law he signed cannot be squared with the Constitution he swore to uphold.
And then he'd repeat what President Clinton did a decade ago when he felt compelled to sign a massive telecommunications law. Clinton realized that the section of the law punishing abortion-related material on the Internet was unconstitutional, and he directed the Justice Department not to enforce it.
Bush has the chance to show his respect for what he calls Americans' personal freedoms. Now we'll see if the president rises to the occasion.

Aww, shucks, Rose. Now it's illegal to annoy with words?? Now I wonder who posted that? teehee. Break it down for us. What does all that really mean? Well, maybe I should say break it down for me. Everyone else might understand it. I do so enjoy annoying those jackass know-it-alls that pop up from time to time.

By the way, I posted a little blurb on George's blog. When you make your rounds of the blogs this morning, please take a look at my post and let me know what you think.
