The following YouTube clip was forwarded to me today by my good friend 'Poor Richard 2011', the publisher of www.HermannMoNews.blogspot.com.  This YouTube clip has had 15,986,000 hits since it was posted.  This actually occurred at a mall in Ontario on November 13, 2010.  Seeing and hearing what happened there lifted my spirits for the Christmas Season.  I hope it will lift your spirits as well and that it will be a small blessing to you this season.

Bible Verse Of The Day - Thursday, 12/9/2010

Post:  1,267

Then Isaiah said, “Hear now, you house of David! Is it not enough to try the patience of men? Will you try the patience of my God also? Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel. – Isaiah 7:13-14

This prophecy of the Messiah was fulfilled in Jesus Christ when He was born to the virgin Mary in a stable. Notice the context in Isaiah. It is during a trying time that this prophecy comes forward. When we look at great achievements, they are rarely done in perfect circumstances. Jesus came to earth during one of Rome’s most bloodthirsty rulers, Herod. This prophecy was given during a trying time in Israel’s history and it was fulfilled in a trying time. Yet in the midst of these trials, God’s promise stood sure. Why would we think that it is any different today?

Crooked As A Dog's Hind Leg

Published by Dick Schaefer, Award-winning, Unpaid, Part-time Contributing Writer; Amateur Investigative Blogger; Aspiring Photo-Journalist; and Missouri Tiger Fan

Date:  12/9/2010
Post:  1,266

"Crooked as a dog's hind leg!"  Have y'all ever known anyone like that?  When a person is that crooked, they're really, really crooked ........ downright corrupt as a matter of fact!

Well, I've known a few crooks in my time.  I've known crooked car salesmen, crooked insurance salesmen, crooked union officials, crooked business people, crooked politicians and crooked government officials.

Now when ya have a crooked politician who has gotten lucky and managed to get himself or herself elected to office so as to become a crooked government official, that's when you've got a particularly nasty situation.  Ya see, we can be on the look out for all those other crooks like crooked car salesmen, crooked insurance salesmen, crooked union officials and crooked business people.  We can simply avoid dealing with those crooks.  As a matter of fact, we don't have to deal with them at all, and we can tell our friends to be on the look out for these people and not to deal with them either.  And eventually, when we've managed to warne enough honest people about these garden variety crooks, we can put the crooks out of business because almost no one will deal with them any longer.  An exposed crook has only one remaining option, and that is to pack up his belongings and move along to the next town!

But not so with a crooked politician who eventually gets elected and becomes a crooked government official!  Nosiree!  These types of crooks are much harder to deal with!  Exposing them and driving them out of office is a very difficult, time-consuming and unpleasant task!

As I see it, here are the problems with exposing and driving crooked government officials out of office:

1. Many times the crooked politicians and crooked government officials who have preceded the current crop of crooked people in public office have designed ingenious, cumbersome and time-consuming procedures for learning about, exposing and driving the crooked government officials who have succeeded them out of office.
2. The crooked politicians and crooked government officials who currently occupy positions of power and influence have various means at their ready disposal by which they can dissuade, intimidate and otherwise obstruct the honest, tax-paying folks from learning about and exposing their crooked decisions and official misconduct.
3. Powerful crooked politicians and crooked government officials become very adept at currying favor with other powerful crooked politicians and crooked government officials and they quickly learn the art of building a constituency of support amongst their political base, amongst the news media and amongst law enforcement officials.  They work all day long at these dishonest tasks of building their protective networks, leaving little or no time left over for performing the duties of the offices to which they were elected in the first place.
4. The tax-paying public is just too doggone busy working to earn a living for their families and to also pay taxes to the crooked politicians and crooked government officials who arrogantly hold them in contempt.  And because of this, too few members of the tax-paying public have the time, energy or inclination to follow the crooked politicians and crooked government officials around in hopes of keeping them honest.  The crooked politicians and crooked government officials just wear us all down over time!

So, these are the problems with exposing and ridding ourselves of crooked politicians and crooked government officials, as I see them at least.

Now, as to the solutions, well that's a far more difficult matter!  I wish I had a bunch of highly effective solutions I could offer you.  But I don't!

Tell ya what!  Why don't we work on the solutions together?!  Let me hear your ideas and suggestions.  I'll collate and compile them all and publish a consolidated list of solutions at a later date.  Right now, I'm just too tired to continue writing this commentary piece.  I guess the doggone "crooked as a dog's hind leg" politicians and government officials have worn me down ...... for tonight anyway.

This, the first of his miraculous signs, Jesus performed at Cana in Galilee. He thus revealed his glory, and his disciples put their faith in him. – John 2:11

In the miracle of the wedding feast of Cana, Jesus turns water into wine. John reminds us that this has great significance as the first miracle. The glory of God was initially revealed during a celebration! This was not a set of rules, but festival joy! Yet this was a forerunner of another wedding feast. The Lord has a table set for his children, the Bride of Christ and His Son. The wine that we have is nothing compared to the wine that He serves. God is inviting us to taste and see that He is good!

PART 1 - Revised Statutes of Missouri Which Govern County Commissions

Published by Dick Schaefer, Award-winning, Unpaid, Part-time Contributing Writer; Amateur Investigative Blogger; Aspiring Photo-Journalist; and Missouri Tiger Fan

Date:  12/7/2010
Post:  1,257

This is PART 1 of a 2 PART report which will address the "legality" of certain actions and decisions taken by the Gasconade County Commission in relationship to the so-called "salary overpayment lawsuit".

County governments in the State of Missouri are subject to the Revised Statutes of Missoui.  Chapter 49 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri (RSMo 49) and Chapter 50 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri (RSMo 50) are of particular interest in that they pertain to the operating procedures, rules, powers, reponsibilities and limitations of County Commissions.  RSMo 49 pertains to County Commissions and County Buildings while RSMo 50 pertains to County Finances, Budget and Retirement Systems.

Some of the particular sections of these chapters which we will be referring to in PART 2 of this invstigative report are copied/pasted hereinbelow:

49.070 - A majority of the commissioners of the county commission shall constitute a quorum to do business; a single member may adjourn from day to day, and require the attendance of those absent; when but two commissioners are sitting and they shall disagree in any matter submitted to them, the decision of the presiding commissioner shall stand as the decision of the commission; provided further, when the presiding commissioner is absent and the other two commissioners are present the commission clerk shall designate one of the commissioners present as presiding commissioner during the absence of the regular presiding commissioner, and he shall, during the absence of the regular presiding commissioner, have all of the powers of the regular presiding commissioner.

49.220 - If a majority of the commissioners of the county commission shall be interested in any cause or proceeding pending before them, or related to either party, the same shall be certified with the original papers to the circuit court of the county, which shall proceed thereon to final judgment and determination in like manner as the county commission should have done.

49.230 - Appeals from the decisions, findings and orders of county commissions shall be conducted under the provisions of chapter 536.

50.160 - The county commission may:

1. Audit, adjust and settle all accounts to which the county is a party;
2. Order the payment out of the county treasury of any sum of money found to be due by the county on such accounts;
3. Enforce the collection of money due the county;
4. Order suit to be brought on the bond of any delinquent and require the prosecuting attorney for the county to commence and prosecute the same;
5. Issue all necessary process to secure the attendance of any person, whether party or witness, whom it deems necessary to examine in the investigation of any accounts;
6. In order to procure the exhibition or delivery to it of any accounts, books, documents or other papers, it may issue process directed to the person in whose custody or care the accounts, books, documents or other papers may be, commanding him to deliver or transmit the same to such commission, which process shall be served by the sheriff;
7. Examine all parties and witnesses on oath, touching the investigation of any accounts, and if any person being served with such process shall not appear according to the command thereof, without reasonable cause, or if any person in attendance at any hearing or proceeding shall, without reasonable cause, refuse to be sworn or to be examined, or to answer a question or to produce a book or paper, or to subscribe or swear to his deposition, he shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor;
8. If it finds it necessary to do so, it may employ an accountant to audit the accounts of the various county officers.

Please carefully read and study the above sections of Missouri statutes in preparation for reading PART 2 which we intend to post in the next day or two.  Please refer back to these statutes as needed.

Just one more thing ....  As a Hermann Hearsay reader, you are obviously a very bright person.  Consequently it is very likely that you already anticipate where I am going with this report.  Please don't spoil it for any readers who may not be as sharp as you by making a comment in PART 1.

Editorial Comment: "Give us your tired, your bullied, bloodied and browbeaten, Your huddled masses yearning to express viewpoints freely"

Apparently we have once again "hit a nerve"!  Yesterday's "Quote Of The Day" posting mocked Hank Vonk's 12/6 "Letter to the Editor" over at online "news" website CNL.  We received a number of comments from disaffected CNL subscribers who are tired of being "relentlessly bullied" by the "Hanksta" aka "The Bully From The South". 

One of our own staff members, himself a past CNL reader and commenter, can relate to this.  Dick Schaefer, one of our contributing writers and investigative bloggers, often had trouble getting his comments posted by the publisher of CNL.  He butted heads with publisher Jeff Noedel on numerous occasions.  Schaefer can relate to those who have experienced the "relentless brow-beating and bullying" of Hank Vonk aka Luckyrider when he was able to get his "unpopular" viewpoints published as comments on CNL.

And now we see that others are openly complaining about Hank Vonk and CNL.  For your convenience, you may click on this link to go back and re-read yesterday's "Quote Of The Day" along with comments from our readers:  http://hermannhearsay.blogspot.com/2010/12/quote-of-day-monday-1262010.html.

To all disaffected, unappreciated, disrespected, over-charged, browbeaten CNL paid subscribers, Hermann Hearsay makes this open invitation to all of you:

"Give us your tired, your bullied, bloodied and browbeaten,

Your huddled masses yearning to express viewpoints freely,

The wretched refuse of your over-priced "news" website.

Send these, your disrespected and unappreciated, to us;

We lift our lamps beside the open door of FREE speech!"

Hermann Hearsay ..... a friendly site for  FREE thinkers, FREE subscriptions and FREE speech!
