A Sicilian "Message"

Published by Dick Schaefer, Unpaid, Part-time Contributing Writer and Amateur Investigative Reporter

One of my all-time favorite movies is 'The Godfather Series (Parts I, II and III)'.  There are many memorable scenes, but one that has popped into my mind today as the result of a "message" I received today is the scene which follows:

Sonny orders Clemenza to immediately punish stoolie Paulie: "Take care of that sonofabitch right away. Paulie sold out the old man, that stronz. I don't want to see him again. Make that first thing on your list, understand?" Just then, a brown paper-wrapped package is delivered and unwrapped by Tessio - a fish is found within Luca's bulletproof vest. It indicates that Luca Brazi has been executed gangster-style - his body has been thrown in the river. Clemenza tells Sonny what it means:

"It's a Sicilian message. It means Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes."

Today I received something akin to a Sicilian message.  Really it wasn't nearly as clever nor as ominous and threatening as a Sicilian message.  Perhaps it would be better described as an unimaginative clumsy message from a local redneck bully BIG MAN wannabe who evidently doesn't like some of the things I am publishing here on Hermann Hearsay.  You see, among other things, he has a different perspective than I do on the circus environment which is the Gasconade County Commission.  That's fine.  He has a right to his own opinions and viewpoints.  But I have a right to my opinions and viewpoints as well!

The best way to deal with a cowardly bully is to call them out.  Expose them to the fresh air and sun light of the day!  That's why I'm calling out our newest commenter 'Leona1412'.

'Leona1412', your subtle "message" is not appreciated.  We will track your IP address and GPS coordinates should that become necessary.  And with that information, we will discover your real name.  I doubt that you would want us to publish it or turn it over to the authorities.  So let me "make you an offer you can't refuse" ..... why don't you just slither away into the darkness and spare yourself the personal embarrassment of being identified!

I loved the 'Little Rascals'.  With a few more voice lessons, 'Alfalfa' could have been better than Frank Sinatra!

Larry Miskel and Sharon Meyer Receive Positive Reception In Owensville!

Published by Dick Schaefer, Unpaid, Part-time Contributing Writer and Amateur Investigative Reporter

I had the pleasure of riding along with other supporters on Larry Miskel's wagon in the Gasconade County Fair Parade yesterday evening.  Larry is one of two Republican candidates vieing for the office of Gasconade County Presiding Commissioner in the August 3rd primary election.  Larry is challenging two-term incumbent Ron Jost.

Lots of smiling faces lined the long parade route two to three persons deep on both sides.  I was amazed at how many people came out for this parade on a hot humid evening in Owensville!  I saw lots of young families with their enthusiastic young children.  Larry walked the entire parade route with three other supporters.  They handed out Larry's campaign literature and answered quick questions.  It appeared to me that Larry was very well received and can expect to receive strong support throughout the county.  The parade watchers were very friendly and courteous!

Directly in front of Larry Miskel's wagon was Sharon Meyer and her group of enthusiastic supporters.  Sharon is the Democratic candidate for the office of County Clerk.  She will face two-term incumbent Lesa Lietzow in the November general election.  Sharon and her supporters also walked the parade route handing out their campaign flyers.  They too were well-received by parade watchers!
