Hey, I Like The Wise County Messenger

But over the last month, they have fallen in love with Twitter. And, in general, I think that's a good thing. But then they'll hit you with eight tweets in a row that are nothing more than this week's Obituary column. That, my friends, is a beating. And tonight they are giving results of the political run-off races. And that's a great idea -- for us. We don't have to buy the paper, we don't have to see any ads, and we get up to the minute results. Good times. But before the local races come in, do we really need to know (1) the partial results, (2) in Wise County alone, of (3) a Supreme Court race? Sheesh. With those precincts reporting, I'll go ahead and project that Wise County prefers a male judge over a female judge when we have no idea about either candidate. Or maybe someone named Green could win an election. Hmmmmmm. But you can see their more relevant results, hopefully, here.

Skippy, don't get any ideas of running for office. Wise County would vote for a woman over a girly man anytime.

Don't know either candidate for commissioner in pct 3 but wonder about electing a deputy sheriff over an experienced road man.
Glad I live in pct 2 with a great commissioner.

Barry, I come to you for a favor. I need, need, need to know if Len (I think that's how it's spelled) Reynolds won in the Bowie city council election last night and I'm running SOOO late for work, it's easier to ask you than to try to look it up on Wise County Messenger. I know being lazy is a bad character trait for a teacher-lady, but sending a kid to school without breakfast because I was looking on the internet to see if the sweetest little man I've ever met is a mad mommy trait.

Please and thank you and you look very handsome and manly today ;0)!

it's like electing a school teacher over a law enforcement officer for JP!!

Completely disappointed in Pct 3 voters!

i think you meant like electing a school teacher over a lazy law enforcement officer that felt he was entitled for the job and wanted to keep everything exactly the same.

Voters got it right.

Before you comment, maybe you should do a ride-along with this "lazy law enforcement officer" and see what his job is really like. I have done it several times with Chad and have learned just what a dangerous and hard job that they have.
