Good folks there - either poached by the other businesses in the community or jumping ship before it runs aground. Either not a pretty picture. Best wishes to the three of you on your future endeavors.

Have all the women in the press corps abandoned us at AIM? Congrats on moving on to bigger and better paying employment. I know that Don and Butch are not "good ole boys" and encourage them in hiring some tried and true voices for women soon. A female "hired gun" with experience would be nice.
I wondered why they had that Randall lady writing a column when she lives in Colorado or somewhere like that.
The changes that the AIM have done have not worked for me or mine. My wife and I can go through the entire paper now before our second cup of coffee. We are then forced to talk to one another.BRING BACK THE OLD PAPER.
I know quite a few people that will be happy Ms. Carey isn't writing about the county.
Aw, Blogger, it would be okay. That's why they have edytors ... uh, editers ... hmmm ... people to correct stuff like that.
It's like your confession: "I can't do it, everyone knows I can't spell and am a comma splicer."
Change to: "I can't do it. Everyone knows I'm a comma splicer who also can't spell."
See? Problem solved. 
Hmmm. Should "comma splicer" be hyphenated to "comma-splicer" or not? Dangit, Blogger maybe it's not that easy. Now, where did I put that copy of "Copy Editing for Dummies?" 
I don't know, Blogger. I've never pretended to be a woman.
Well, there was that New Year's Eve party in Atlanta in 1979, but I can explain that. 
I said I CAN explain it, Blogger. I didn't say I WILL explain it. 
Let's just say it involved a bear, the Baylor football team that was in town for a Peach Bowl game against Clemson, and a really cool practical joke - and let it go at that.

That is easily my favorite sentence today.

Sorry, Wyatt, but that wasn't me. I look HORRIBLE in polka-dots.
I no longer do business with People's Bank since they started charging that stupid $5 fee to cash a PERSONAL CHECK written from one of their ACCOUNT HOLDERS to anybody trying to cash it there without having their own account. Wachovia and Bank of America also have that same charge. Since Bob Dye passed away a few years ago, People's is no longer the bank it used to be from a customer-always-come-first standpoint.
And, since they're prone to those hidden fees and charges like so many others are, well, everybody knows it's disrespectful for a thief so steal from another thief.
Oh my God Marshall Dillion! Are you saying that the reason Liz Carey always quotes Bob Waldrep in her negative stories is that she hopes to someday land a county job? Surely you jest! Or should I use Kevin Bryant's favorite word: satire. Anderson is a most strange little town.
Actually, W-P-D, I thought Liz Carey's story on today's meeting at the Museum was nicely balanced. She quoted Waldrep and Eddie Moore on one side of the issue, she quoted Michael Thompson speaking for himself, and she also quoted Joey Preston, Bill McAbee and Ron Wilson. AND, she gave Ron Wilson the last word.
If there's a deliberate slant there, I didn't see it. In any event, there's no way of knowing which side she's on, because she gave no indication in her story. I don't know how she could have balanced it to your satisfaction short of letting you write it yourself, and we all know how that would have turned out.
You're just mad because you and SSHM can't give the real reporters a "thumbs down" when they don't write articles to suit your narrow views, aren't you?
