Monkey Business

People with serious jobs don't have time to belittle others because of their political affiliations. The mayor's recent derogatory remarks about democrats on the County Commission have us all thinking he doesn't belong in a leadership position. For me his most revealing remark, however, was his unintended slip in referring to the position in which I serve as "my circuit court judge". No, Jerry, Judges don't belong to you! This County is not your private party. We have over a hundred thousand people with a variety of serious problems and we can't move into the future with a government for a few good ole boys who'll laugh at your jokes.
