Man, things have gotten boring in Oak Ridge.  Seemed like back in the summer I didn’t have enough time to write about stuff going on around here, but nothings a-going now.

Updates on stuff:

Monty Koons thing: Yeah, we haven’t heard about that in a while.  Word around the campfire, tho, is that he asked his assistant to apply for his job, figuring that he won’t be in it much more.  Unfortunately, as is so often about the campfire, you hear things that may mean squat.  Anyhow, this probably isn’t (unfortunately) over.

We’ll see.  We’ve had people stopping by here recently touting both sides of the story, that he was a great teacher who wouldn’t do this kinda stuff, and that he was a perv.  My opinion of him is based solely on the letter to the editor he wrote denouncing Stuart and Agle in the Observer in the fall, which seems to me that he’s either

a) sucking up to Beauchamp and his family (for whatever reason)
b) A sap

But, I don’t know the guy, and this stuff probably doesn’t have anything to do with the case at hand.  Thats it.

Beauchamp:  Whats up with his anti-blogger lawsuit?  He’s still a dick for dropping a libel lawsuit on a website with public documents.

However, his probation days are over, although he still holds the buildings and grounds position (although he has a John that mows the yard).

Court moving from Oak Ridge to Clinton: Netmom is all worked up on this, but I can’t really bring myself to give much of a crap.  The court room in Oak Ridge is really, really crappy.  I was there for my speeding ticket a few months ago, and was floored by the crummy fake wood vineer all scratched up, the stained carpet, and the general gloom of the place.

Notwithstanding the fact that the only security there is the baliff that looks a lot like Bull from Night Court, and I can see where Murch is coming from.  Sorry NM, I’m just not with you.

Election 06: Is still for suckers.  The Observer had a nice list of endorsements which completely matched mine, with the exception that while I was leaning for Corker, technically my endorsement is to write in a candidate.  They seem to have hope, tho, that Corker will be a principled candidate who will not cling to party coattails in Washington.  That’d be great, and he seems like the type of guy who’d have those kind of principals, but dammit, I’ve been burned by the Republican Party too much in the past 7 years to want to hand those bastards a seat.

Bring it on people.  What do you say?
