I’ve had the hardest time this past six weeks trying to write. I guess I’ve been suffering from some kind of intellectual constipation that also includes this nauseous dread of what the coming year is going to be like.

I see that His Excellency, County Administrator for Life Papa Doc Dalton has appointed a Director of Parks and Recreation and Tourism. Laying aside the fact that Parks and Recreation is a totally different field than Tourism, and the official designation of the department is simply Parks and Recreation, what about the $811,146.60 Dalton has [...]

Linda Myer, the self-proclaimed head of the Wythe County Tea Baggers, is a frequent commenter on Wythe Notes. Whereas I’m sure Ms.Meyers and I don’t agree politically, I do admire her tenacity.

Last night’s meeting of the Wythe County Board of Supervisors was as entertaining as any traveling circus or tent show revival I’ve ever attended. The wingnuts were out in force, Bucky was glad handing and working the crowd before the meeting started, and extra deputies were laid on in case things got out of hand. [...]

Cellell Dalton waited until near the end of the meeting before he quietly, and a little smugly, read a memo to the Board of Supervisors stating that he had administratively stopped the raises for him and Stephen Bear and asked the Board to formally rescind them.
