Editorial Comment: "Gangsta Hanksta" gets it wrong once again!
Date: 8/29/2010
Political pundit and provocateur "Gangsta Hanksta" has it ALL figured out! Just ask him! He recently proclaimed the reasons for Ron Jost's narrow victory over Larry Miskel for Republican nominee for the office of Gasconade County Presiding Commissioner. As is so often the case, "Old Hank" is wrong again.
My take on the results of the August 3rd election differs from Hank's. I say this:
- Jost won by 16 votes (maybe). 16 votes out of a total of 2788 votes cast ..... a slight margin of only 0.57%. Nothing much there to crow about! And what would a 100% manual recount of all votes cast have yielded? We will never know. Yet, "Old Hank" seems to be crowing anyway!
- Jost won because of the low voter turnout of approximately 30% county-wide. I don't understand the voter indifference! If the voters couldn't get excited about the race for Presiding Commissioner, I don't know what they can get excited about!
- Matt Penning's interview with HermannNEWS.com had little if anything to do with the election results. The Penning video interview by HermannNEWS.com reporter Anna Wiegenstein was posted on August 2nd (one day prior to the election) and remained posted on HermannNEWS.com for ONLY one day. The last I remember it had only been viewed by just a handful of readers prior to election day. Today (8/29) the three-part interview remains posted at YouTube.com. The YouTube view counts are as follows: Part 1 - 179 views, Part 2 - 129 views, and Part 3 - 99 views. Nice try "Hanksta", but I seriously doubt whether Penning's video-taped interview factored into the election results one way or the other. I only regret that the three-part video-taped interview wasn't posted on HermannNEWS.com a couple weeks earlier when it was originally recorded.
- This was Larry Miskel's first run for a county-wide office. He ran against a two-term incumbent. IF Miskel runs again, he will win! IF he and those of us who supported him had campaigned just a little bit harder, he would have won this time!

"By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh’s daughter. He chose to be mistreated along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a short time. He regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead to his reward." ~ Hebrews 11:24-26

Watkins Weekend Weather Report - Friday, 8/27 thru Sunday, 8/29
Date: 8/27/2010
Hi folks! This is Frank Furter. I've been asked to take over the weekend weather reporting from Charlie Farquharson. It turns out that Hermann Hearsay can no longer afford Charlie, so I've been asked to give weather forecasting a shot. Apparently I work a lot cheaper than Charlie ...... and well, they're already payin' me to do some other stuff anyway!
The Watkins Weekend Weather Report is now sponsored by local Watkins Independent Associate Dick Schaefer (#378589). Dick doesn't actually pay us cash money for sponsoring the weather report. Instead he supplies us with Watkins cleaning products for the office. These are the products I use everyday when I clean our office and wash the windows. You see, I'm also the custodian here at Hermann Hearsay.
Please support Dick by buying his high quality Watkins products made from "all natural ingredients".
Welcome to my very first weekend weather report for the local Hermann area......
Today: Sunny. High near 85F. Winds SE at 5 to 10 mph.
Tonight: Mainly clear. Low 56F. Winds ESE at 5 to 10 mph.
Tomorrow: Mainly sunny. High 88F. Winds SE at 5 to 10 mph.
Tomorrow night: Clear. Low near 65F. Winds SE at 5 to 10 mph.
Sunday: Mix of sun and clouds. Highs in the upper 80s and lows in the mid 60s.
It's gonna be a great weekend, folks! So go out and enjoy it!

Quote Of The Day - Friday, 8/27/2010
Date: 8/27/2010
From Wikipedia ....
The following unverified quotation has been attributed to Alexander Tytler, most notably as part of a longer piece which began circulating on the Internet shortly after the 2000 U.S. Presidential Election:
"A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of history has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence:
- From bondage to spiritual faith;
- From spiritual faith to great courage;
- From courage to liberty;
- From liberty to abundance;
- From abundance to complacency;
- From complacency to apathy;
- From apathy to dependence;
- From dependence back into bondage."
Two centuries ago, a somewhat obscure Scotsman named Tytler made this profound observation: "A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the majority discovers it can vote itself largess out of the public treasury. After that, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits with the result the democracy collapses because of the loose fiscal policy ensuing, always to be followed by a dictatorship, then a monarchy."
The list beginning "From bondage to spiritual faith" is commonly known as the "Tytler Cycle" or the "Fatal Sequence". Its first known appearance is in a 1943 speech "Industrial Management in a Republic" by H. W. Prentis, president of the Armstrong Cork Company and former president of the National Association of Manufacturers, and appears to be original to Prentis.

John 15:18-19 – You do not belong to the world
"If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you." ~ John 15:18-19
