Rants And Raves

Things are hot, hot, hot in Mitchell County**:

*  "All the world is a stage and oh what acts we put on in church on Sunday morning."

*  "When are you people going to stop living in the past? Those times aren't coming back.  So get up off your griping, unemployed, welfare-receiving fannies and find work.  Mitchell County can't support so many freeloaders, so think about moving to South Dakota." (... look out South Dakota !)

*  "People would worry less about what others think of them if they only realized how seldom they do."

*"When you watch a show like "Dance Moms" you wonder how smart the rest of the electorate is."(... "the rest" of the electorate??)

And, speaking of the rest of the electorate...


*  "Wow, 'We know you are having an affair'.  Whoever put that in there last week scared about a third of Mitchell County, maybe even half."

(... see that's why in North Carolina, we never try to deny that we tend to marry our cousins, 'cause we can never quite say for sure.)

**  "Rants and Raves" is a weekly feature of the Mitchell News-Journal... definitely worth a subscription !!
