More Kinds of Stupid

AUGUSTA, GA. - Scott calls from Atlanta with some interesting news about the Augusta Commission's meeting with the area's legislative delegation. The commissioners have about 30 minutes a year to present their ideas for legislative changes, that they believe will benefit this area, in front of all of our members of the Georgia congress. It seems that two or three of our esteemed commissioners had a bright idea of their sleeves.

"Rev. Hatney and Corey Johnson made a proposal to create a municipal police force under the control of the commission," Scott reported, glee in his voice. It's not often such a boneheaded move presents itself and only one reporter is present to hear it.

"They what?"
He repeated himself. No, I didn't experience some auditory hallucination. I think our elected Sheriff, Ronnie Strength, will have something to say on the matter.

I relayed the info to A.C.
"What?" she stared at me, incredulous.
"Yep," I answered. T.G. was on the phone confirming details with Scott.
"They gon' dep-yoo-tize them some people?" she laughed while imitating a thick Western drawl.
I joined her: "It's gon' be like Dodge City 'round here!"
