\It's my hope, and with no self-aggrandizing intent whatsoever,that this thread be kept alive until autumn of 2008. So anyway:
You might be a Knox Countian if...
...Several term-limited, unlawfully seated members of your County Commission, in collusion with several more lawfully seated, but ethically challenged members, through backroom deals and blatantly illegal acts, acted to appoint cronies to their seats.
...And this is considered a positive step towards true representative government in your county.
...the only four-syllable word your commissioners know is nepotism.
...And the only reason they know it is because those know-nothing reporters keep asking them if they know what it means.
...a guy named Scoobie constantly refers to you as "losers."
...you've resigned yourself to being insulted for the next 18 months by a guy named Scoobie.
...you have a neighbor who's already sworn to name his next-born "Lumpy."
...your other neighbor already has a "Beware of Scoobie's Lumpies" sign in his yard.
...whether big orange screw, big scoobie screw, or big pension screw, you're screwed.
And last...
You might be a Knox Countian if...
...there's a 3 in 4 chance that you didn't vote in the last election for County Commissioners.
But - by GOD! - you're ready to throw the rascals out now!
