Comments re article 54259 Editorial No time for night time mudhole water haulers

COF writes:
Don't quite ken whut brought this on. but Miz Emily said: "Oh NO ! Not 'nother Crusty Ole Fool. The world cain't quite stand one, shurly the Good Lord wouldn't 'flict us with two."

Jest twixt you, me en the fence post, I couldn't agree with you more. Effen more folks would speak up maybe these fuzzy thinkers would start to begin to realize thet their bosses are jest plain fed up, sated, had enuf, ain't no more buyin' whut thar selling.

What brought this on, COF, was no attempt to take your position as the official Iconoclast of Adair County. It was just a early morning nighttime fit of contrariness brought on by, I guess, overthinking.


It was thinking about a "Green" state university president tooling around town in a Chevy Volt, when he could be much Greener firing his vaunted PR department, hiring truck drivers to take their place, and use Street & Numbers when his school announces events. That would save a lot more of the planet's resources than driving a Volt.

We call no names, but that University President is our Night-time Mudhole Water Hauler of the Day.

There are a few in our own neighborhood, but at least 35 miles away, who may deserve it as much, but we follow the erroneous standard learned in college and so hard to unlearn, to editorialize on Uzbekistan and sound courageous without really being so, instead of the advice of a frequent contributor to steer things up, on a local level.

Being the hobbits we are, and with our strict Quaker peace loving background, and dearly held liberal, Jesus-like tendencies to take the other guy's side in a fight, that's the last thing CM does - try to steer up things.

And no, Miz Emily is right. Though the world desperately needs one (1) Crusty Ole Fool. Two is overkill. - ED WAGGENER
