| BIO: | Aging baby boomer who has been kicked out of this blog site not once but twice. After an appropriate amount of groveling and making amends the very fair minded and intelligent Webmeister allowed me back in. However, I 'lost' all my over 300 blogs and 1000 plus comments. That's part of the flogging process tho this last absence was of my own volition. I am a local BI graduate, went to three colleges, graduated from two, love the Dawgs, Eagles, standup comedy, good rock and roll, try not to take myself too seriously, enjoy stirring the political pot, make enemies easily, not known as a social butterfly, and have a personal demeanor that can clear a room gathered with pleasant people just by walking into it. To relieve stress, I disrobe and run thru my house screaming obscenities at the top of my lungs for 15 minutes at least once a week. I am despised by a certain few, tolerated by a few more, and loved by a growing handful or two. I am married to my lovely wife Carolyn, have two grown sons, and three grand boys. I occasionally borrow money from my grandson's savings to feed an ever growing gambling habit. Other than that, I am an optimist with a very dark heart. |

Tot's Happy Day

So...Tot's wife gets into a terrible automobile accident. Tot's
just finished off a joint when he gets the call and takes off in his
R.V. to the hospital. Tot meets the Doctor and the Doctor tells Tot,
'I've got bad news. Your wife's back was broken in three places, and the
blood supply was cut off to her brain, she's a vegetable. She'll never
regain consciousness. Plus, your insurance has run out, so you're going
to have to care for her at home. I'm going to give you some salves and
creams to use on her body, because she's going to develop these weeping
bedsores, and she's completely incontinent. That means you're going to
have to change her diapers several times a day...' And at that point Tot
breaks down crying since his pot induced euphoria has worn off and
says, 'Oh, my God, why did this happen? Why? Why? Why?' And the Doctor
smiles and has a belly laugh and says, 'I'm just messing with you Tot.
She's dead!'

Epilogue: Tot slowly exits the Hospital returning to his RV and
fires up another Oregon Gold Joint knowing that he can now go home and
dream where he will come to realize in his drug induced slumber that he
will have an epiphany that he has just experienced the Best Day of his
Life.

@Jimmy and Tot--We have stay focused on important issues. These
type of blogs draw folks away from the site and we lose our influence
(what little we have). Don't let the devil use you.

Jimmy and Tot, your personal battles have become a distraction
on the site. If you two want to trade insults, then find some other
place to do it.

"Blessed are the Peace Makers..."
When Tot stands down so will I. Until such time I will meet like with like. It seems that he has deleted his earlier Blog TITLED "Jimmy Darsey's Sickness is Evident" or words to that effect. I have even approached Tot on this Blog site under a white flag and tried to appeal to the both of us conducting a more civil dialogue. He took advantage of my overture and used it as an opportunity to further trash me. A very dishonorable thing to do, in MY book. He frequently refers to my deceased mother and father while he hides in anonymity behind a hidden profile. He clogs this site with repetitive Copy and Pastes. Something that ironically I TAUGHT him how to do. He blames Liberals for the Sandy Hook massacre of them babies and all other ills of this world.
It's HIS move now. And unless he learns to behave himself and stop negatively stereotyping whole groups of humans, I, Jimmy Darsey, am not going to let him enjoy impunity.

PN, my kindred spirit here...I am very sorry to disappoint you.
However, sometimes we on the Left have to fight fire with fire. It all
started when Newt Gingrich held his Republican workshop\conferences in
the early nineties where he instructed prospective Republican Candidates
for all levels of office, and incumbent Republicans, to begin referring
to Liberals as: evil, traitors to America, demons and other gutter
terminology. He established a beach head to make the term Liberal a four
letter word.to be used by those on the Right. He intended to make it an
'insult' to be called a Liberal. He achieved some level of 'success.'
Now we, or some of us, have to confront these lunatics before they gain more territory in the body Politic. YOU, PN, are a smooth, articulate unrattled voice for the Left. I see myself as a combatant flame thrower against these Right wing bubbas and bubbetts. We have to stand up to them.
Newt ushered in the so-called Republican Revolution with his name calling tactics and became the first Republican Speaker of the House for the first time in decades. But, as I said back then in print, "Every revolution devours its children," and we see that happening now. Trumpism like McCarthyism are Cancers that we must always fight. Even some members of his own party know this.
The fight is not pretty. It is a blood sport now. We were successful in stopping McCarthyism. We must now excise and defeat Trumpism for the malignancy that it is.

Take Me To Post Comment Form A while back a well known copy and paste master wrote a Blog called BLACK AND WHITE. I find it very interesting when anybody refers to a time called THE GOOD OLD DAYS. I know by experience that the author 99% of the time is a White Anglo Saxon Protestant Male. Usually of a Conservative bent. The piece reflects the good times had by the person from their own perspective with a complete lack of perspective of what those 'good ole days' were to some people. I urge anyone reading this to read the words of BLACK AND WHITE BEFORE reading what is to follow.

Tot: for clarity sake, you never were a LION. You have to graduate to be one and you dropped out. And that means you are severely lacking in perspective by virtue of little or no complete education. You never finished the academic race. Ever. I will prove it here by asking you to conjugate the verb To Be. And 8th grade vocabulary lesson.
I can tell that you are upset and I am truly getting worried about your health and blood pressure. You have got to learn how to balance your anger with some rationality.
You never got the privilege to have Ms. May, Ms. Stafford, or Ms. Darsey to help you with the English language. And you demonstrate that bankrupt vocabulary here by repetitive copy and pastes.

Don't vote to re-elect Chairman Lovett
because he is in fact the head of the board of commissioners and it is
on him that we are being subjected to this reckless mismanagement of our
county.
LCBOCFinanceOfficer commented on Wednesday, Jun 22, 2016 at 14:58 PM
The Liberty County Board of Commissioner's adopted the FY 2017
Budget on Thursday, June 16th, after holding a public hearing on the
budget Tuesday, June 7th at 6:00 pm. Both of these dates and times were
advertised in the coastal courier on Sunday, May 29th.
I invite "bootstrap01" to come visit the Liberty County Finance Department. We have an open door policy and will be more than happy to share all of the information that we compile, track, and report on to the Board of Commissioners. Please know that I am not happy, nor proud, of a 22% increase in the General Fund budget. I encourage anyone who has questions regarding the budget to become more active in understanding state mandated funding requirements placed on counties, and the financial consequences we now face as a result of the November 2015 failed SPLOST referendum.
Furthermore, the Finance Department does not make the difficult decisions regarding the budget and millage rate. We track, compile, and report on the financial results of decisions made.
Last of all, and just for the record, I do sleep well at night and I live in a modest 1,400 square ft house valued at about $75,000. I drive a 2007 CTS, have a salary well below 6 digits, and can only dream of a pool, dock and boat as I sleep.

I think you need to do some major research and gather all of
your facts before you make assumptions and smear someone's name that you
know nothing about! You know NOTHING about doing a county budget or the
amount of people above the CFO level that are involved in proposing and
passing a county budget which explains why you ARE NOT Liberty County's
Chief Finance Officer and why you're ranting on a blog!!! When you get a
master's degree in accounting and think you can do a better job, apply
for the position and THEN you can speak on the budget!! And you know
NOTHING about the CFOs personal life, salary, home, automobile, etc even
though you so comfortably and inaccurately assumed her of having
taxpayers finance it. And since all you did was complain and object to
the budget, what do you propose as a solution?? What do you think the
propsed budget should be?? Where should the extra money come from?? What
funding should be cut?? All you are proposing is voicing a solutionless
opinion at a meeting......very productive! (**rolls eyes**) And if you
have a solution, bring it up to the commissioners because they are the
ones who make the decisions. Until then....GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT!

Well sounds like you share some kind of relationship? Can you

Huge Tax Increase Coming

Boat Rocker, Not Good Old Boy

Last comment by bootstrap01 2 hours, 41 minutes ago.
Just when everyone thought they got rid of me, here I am again, in all my former ranting, and rambling glory. I am proclaiming, and exclaiming my disgust, dissatisfaction, and objections, complete with misspellings, and all, by objecting to the proposed 2017, $34.39 million, 22% budget increase, in the form of property tax increases for every Liberty County property owning taxpayer. I ask this question, is this a result of local city, and county government agency heads, including our courts, submitting their "Wish Lists" items to the tax assessors office, and bullying, and intimidating assessors into emptying our pockets, and fleecing we taxpayers? Anyway, this not-so-wonderful news was announced in the Coastal Courier Wednesday, June 15th, 2016 edition on the front page. Ms. Kim McGlothlin, Hinesville & Liberty County's Royal Chief Financial Officer, presented this 2017 budget buster to the Liberty County Board of Commissioners last week, according to the paper's announcement. She goes on to say that the fiscal 2016 budget is $28.2 million, as if she was proud of that. So, 2017's budget is a 22 % increase over 2016, get it? I am sure Ms. McGlothin sleeps well a night, knowing we taxpayers fund her exorbitant salary, making it possible for her to live in a fine home, possibly with a landscaped lawn, maybe pool, and a boat, and a marina built by taxpayer funds, but not for their use, and maybe an expensive high-end automobile? So, back to my point, I don't know about you, but for me and my family this announcement is a real budget buster as far as I am concerned. As I read this article in horror, shock, and disbelief. I realized that our elected tyrant-like, and dictatorial representatives no longer are representing us, even though "we the people" put them into office in both the city, and county. They've dumped us at the local land fill without any money to pay for homes, cars, insurances, food, clothing, cell phones, tv's, medical care, gifts for our family members, and vacations, and sales taxes. I think we will become pauper-like citizens, wearing dirty/tattered clothing, selling flowers, and pencils at the entrances to government buildings just to survive. With that said, I think our elected, public servants, and or representatives look down their long, pointed noses at we citizen taxpayers, and then proceed to off on their own devious, unrepresentative direction (s). This article, to me anyway, sounds like a true history lesson in that it demonstrates what it's like to live in tyranny. This was the very reason our historical patriots held "The Boston Tea Party"! This was the reason they engaged in, and fought a Revolutionary War. This was the very reason why 13 states "legally" left the union in 1860/61 and formed a new nation, The Confederate States of America. So, here we are once again, at the doorstep of a potential citizen revolution. Our elected "unrepresentatives" have become the tyrannical dictators that made up the court of England's King George III. Don't believe it. Well, friend, it's smacking you right between the eyes and in the forehead with a sledge hammer-like-call-to-arms! The citizens must unite, using their 1st Amendment rights of free speech, and assembly to vigorously protest this burdensome, deadly, financial load about to be placed upon we citizen voters, and taxpaying property owners. In my mind, this entire scenario has got to be illegal? We have a representative government, but without representation. It surely must be contradictory to our state's constitution and rights of Georgia's citizen taxpayers? So, with that said, this coming Thursday, June 23rd, 2016, at 5 pm, Liberty County commissioners will consider (right) adopting this anti-citizen, financially enslaving budget. This is a call to arms people. I urge you to be there, be heard, and be Loud & Proud, and cause the ears of our commissioners to be open for the very first time, and heed the will of the people of Hinesville, and Liberty County. Have a nice day.

Well sounds like you share some kind of relationship? Can you tell everyone where the missing $1,000,000 went, or won't? Have a nice day my liberal socialist party apologist.

PN: You go Girl!!!
Bootstrap: she probably spent it or NEVER took it. She was and is the ONLY person in Hinesville to serve time for questionable financial dealings. And you know what? She got THIRTY years only to be paroled after serving 17. She was a Black Female. No white boys in high places are in jail nor will they EVER be. Carolyn was a soft target. She got more time than some murderers and rapists get.
Army discharged types such as you come and go around here. You ALL think you know better than any of us locals, regarding politics, the city budget, hammerin' a two by four, the school system, and even what to expect from the weather.
You may have served your country, thank you. But you definitely are NOT the sharpest knife in the drawer here. Your ramblings are those of a typical angry, probably even Yankee, bozo know it all.
Since by your bio, you have by courtesy of the Military (BTW: Tot thinks you are a mercenary, go ask him) you have first hand knowledge of change of Stations, if it's so bad for ya around heah, why not move your butt somewhere else? Believe me, no one will miss you.
So....when do you plan to take Ms. McClothin up on her invite, Brave Heart????

PN::So, here we are once again, at the doorstep of a potential citizen revolution. Our elected "unrepresentatives" have become the tyrannical dictators that made up the court of England's King George III. Don't believe it. Well, friend, it's smacking you right between the eyes and in the forehead with a sledge hammer-like-call-to-arms! The citizens must unite, using their 1st Amendment rights of free speech
it's wasn't 1st amendment rights they used to win, and nothing can be won with them now. the news only shows what they want, not the whole truth like it used to. and you can't revolt with a stick.

gacpl: revolutions usually start with an angry populace fueled by the written word and out right civil disobedience.
I am sure that you are familiar with the term that "the pen is mightier than the sword." (see Boston Tea Party and the Declaration of Independence; Russia circa 1917 and Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto)

Jimmy I posted Carolyn Brown's case from both the Georgia court of appeals and Supreme Court. As far as criminal charges and sentences go people can make their own judgements. I won't make any judgements as to who in Liberty County also fleeced the taxpayers or is currently doing it. You may know more than I do but we have to admit that serious wrong was done and she had the benefit of defense. If there is any more serious corruption in the county, I as a taxpayer am supportive of rooting it out and punishing it. I do believe that TOT accurately pointed in the right direction as to where a lot of our disdain should be directed and that is to the majority of county commissioners including chairman Lovette. I may be wrong but I thought that our commissioners approve the hiring of our unelected beaurocrat employees. They also approved the budget and allowed Ms. Mclothlin to blame our budget woes on refusing to renew a SPECIAL OPTION sales tax. She should have more accurately blamed our officials for way over spending the intended means of previous budgets and sales tax revenues. I suppose her success and job depends on demonizing the public for voting down a tax that was driving up our spending and budgets unnecessarily. Accurately placing the blame for a 22% budget increase would likely cost her a job in Liberty County.

The Liberty County Board of Commissioner's adopted the FY 2017 Budget on Thursday, June 16th, after holding a public hearing on the budget Tuesday, June 7th at 6:00 pm. Both of these dates and times were advertised in the coastal courier on Sunday, May 29th.
I invite "bootstrap01" to come visit the Liberty County Finance Department. We have an open door policy and will be more than happy to share all of the information that we compile, track, and report on to the Board of Commissioners. Please know that I am not happy, nor proud, of a 22% increase in the General Fund budget. I encourage anyone who has questions regarding the budget to become more active in understanding state mandated funding requirements placed on counties, and the financial consequences we now face as a result of the November 2015 failed SPLOST referendum.
Furthermore, the Finance Department does not make the difficult decisions regarding the budget and millage rate. We track, compile, and report on the financial results of decisions made.
Last of all, and just for the record, I do sleep well at night and I live in a modest 1,400 square ft house valued at about $75,000. I drive a 2007 CTS, have a salary well below 6 digits, and can only dream of a pool, dock and boat as I sleep.
Respectfully Submitted,
Kimberly McGlothlin,
Chief Financial Officer
Liberty County BOC

Difficulty Getting election results.
I have been trying to get a complete report of the individual prescient tally of the votes for all of the issues on the ballot in our recent primary election.
I want to see the numbers in each race in each prescient throughout the county.
There are many of us who would like to see those stats.
Mikelongcounty can you please help me? Or can the editor of the print paper please print this?
In the past this info was routinely published.
I will be grateful for any suggestions or assistance.

There is always he freedom of information act, though it might cost a little bit to get the data you want.
MikeLongCounty commented on Saturday, Jun 04, 2016 at 09:45 AM
Jimmy, sorry been out of town for a week. The editor is Jason
Wermer and the paper's number is (912) 876-0156. He may be able to tell
you something on the information, or if the Courier doesn't receive
this information any more. I know you should be able to contact the
Liberty County Election's Office or Registrar and they should be able to
get that information to you. Try this website and see if it has the
info you are seeking:

I feel like being a taxpaying citizen and an interested voter I
should get the information readily with in a day or to of the election.
And it should cost little or nothing.
I called Mr Werner Friday and requested that the print copy of The Coastal Courier publish the numbers for the public. He made no commitment beyond the consideration of my request.
I believe that if the Courier did publish this info they would see quite a number of additional papers sold that particular issue.

I personally would like to see all of the results published
myself. Maybe they have and I missed them. Why would the local paper not
want all of the results published? It seems as though we have a bit of a
nasty public fight coming from the Sheriff's race. Interesting choice
in hiring Sam Oliver as Mr Bowman's attorney. I had no idea we had a so
called Special Master in equity in Liberty County Superior Court. I
wonder if Sam Oliver was the Special Master in the Macintosh County
court case over the Hog Hammock property just recently published in the
Coastal Courier. The newspaper didn't list the attorney's of record in
that case, the special "Master" or the judge of record. How do you
publish a court case and not list any of that. The decision of the
special "Master" in that case that was adopted by the Superior Court
judge was unanimously overturned by the Georgia Supreme Court. We may
want to figure out how we got a special "master" in the first place from
Macintosh County. All of that is off topic and I apologize for
highjacking the blog.

You certainly are not hijacking this blog as your comments pertain to the subject.
After the story in today's Courier I'm beginning to think perhaps our Election's board and voter registration staff could use some adjustments and a bit of tuning.
As a lifelong native who is most interested in the well being of my beloved Liberty County I am embarrassed by our people in charge.
Thanks for you post.
