We received a 'Letter To The Editor' from long-time FREE subscriber, Chubb E. Buttocks, today.  I'd like for the rest of our readers to read it.  Chubb says .....

Dear Jimmy,

As you know,  I have been a FREE subscriber to Hermann Hearsay for almost two years, and I have also been a FREE member of your online dating service subsidiary, Hermann Hookups (http://www.hermannhookups.blogspot.com/).

I just wanted to say thank you for all your FREE services.  Times are tough, and I'm currenly laid off from my job cleaning horse and mule stables.  People have had to sell off their horses and mules and that disturbing trend has "trickled down" to reduce my employment opportunities in the local area. 

I just can't afford to pay $19.95 per annum for that other so-called "news" service over there on Fifth Street.  Plus I don't like the fact that they hide the best news reports from the eyes of us FREE readers.  That's why I now read Hermann Hearsay and Poor Richard's HermannMoNews(http://www.hermannmonews.blogspot.com/) exclusively.  You probably know that HMN is also FREE.  I love FREE services to death!  I only wish I could still get a good nickel cigar and a good cold draft beer for just a quarter!

Keep up the good work, Jimmy!  I hope you never have to resort to hiding news stories or charging for your service!

Yours truly,

Chubb E. Buttocks

Poll Closed: Will Presiding Commissioner Jost sign the checks?

Our most recent poll is now closed.  We now know the answer to the poll questiond, so there is no point in leaving the poll open any longer.

The poll question was this:

Will Gasconade County Presiding Commissioner Ron Jost sign checks for legal bills incurred by respondents in the "salary overpayment lawsuit" (Jerry Lairmore and Max Aubuchon) at the December 2nd Commission Meeting in Owensville?

The responses were as follows:

YES - 6 votes (85%)
NO - 1 vote (14%)
NOT SURE - 0 votes (0%)

Well, we now KNOW the answer!  Presiding Commissioner Ron Jost, in flagrant disregard for and arrogant defiance of the legal advice provided by Prosecuting Attorney Ada Brehe-Krueger in the form of a written letter to all three Commissioners, did in fact sign the checks to Southern District Associate Commissioner Jerry Lairmore and former Northern District Associate Commissioner Max Aubuchon.

BREAKING NEWS - Presiding Commissioner Jost signs checks for legal bills

Presiding Commissioner Ron Jost unilaterly signed the legal bill reimbursement checks to current Southern District Associate Commissioner Jerry Lairmore and former Northern District Associate Commissioner Max Aubuchon during this morning's county commission meeting.  He did so against the considered advice of Prosecuting Attorney Ada Brehe-Krueger who had provided her legal opinion in a formal letter to all three county commissioners.  Jost had previously authorized payment entirely on his own.  Commissioners Lairmore and Penning abstained from voting on the payment authorization.

And the beat goes on .....

We lost a great actor and comedian this past weekend.  Leslie Nielsen succumbed to pneumonia in a Florida hospital at age 84.  His passing is sad.  But remembering his performance in movies such as "Airplane!", "The Naked Gun" and others brings a big smile to my face.  The following YouTube clip was recorded near his "star" on the Hollywood Boulevard .....

"Tell Jerry Lairmore and Max Aubuchon to pay their own legal bills.  They should not have taken the pay raise.  The Missouri Supreme Court ruled that the pay raises they (and others) received were unconstitutional.  The county's insurer will not reimburse their legal fees for this very reason.  And county taxpayers should not have to pay their legal bills either.  Judge Eckelcamp ruled that all parties to the so-called 'salary overpayment' lawsuit should pay their own attorney fees and legal expenses.  The truth of the matter is that, Messrs. Lairmore and Aubuchon should have been forced to return the unconstitutional pay raises they received, but they got 'wiggled off the hook' on a legal technicality, namely the statute of limitations."  ~ A Gasconade County Taxpayer, 12/2/2010

Bible Verse Of The Day - Thursday, 12/2/2010

Day after day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Christ. – Acts 5:42

Notice that they were proclaiming that Jesus IS the Christ, not WAS the Christ. They were experiencing the reality of Jesus on a day-to-day basis. What about us? Are we still remembering how God changed our life years ago? That is good, but if that is the basis of our walk with God, then we will find ourselves building a monument to an event. The good news is that Jesus is alive TODAY! Ask God to open your eyes to what He is doing now!
