A special message for Anderson County
August 28th, 2007 by Atomictumor
So, as Netmom has pointed out, apparently the embargo placed on this fine website, Atomic City Talk, Netmom’s place, and Bull Moose’s page by the powers that run the Anderson County government internet filtering system has now been lifted.
Now, I’m not sure who’s in charge over there regarding this, and I really don’t care. I’m sure, knowing IT, the order was placed by some administrative assistant, somebody in a sad little job, always a bridesmaid, never a bride, trying as hard as possible to please those amazingly charismatic and powerful individuals who’ve been vested power over a WHOLE COUNTY.
I’m sure they popped it in there to block websites that don’t necessarily follow the party line, critical of the good old boy system, or maybe just critical of goverment and government figures in general. People who expect, however unreasonably, a county government that is transparent, benevolent, and respondent to the needs of its constituency. People who, with this expectation, have found electronic avenues to speak this belief, and, for whatever reason, trouble the brows of certain people in this government, whom this lowly, desperate, sad little administrative assistant wishes so desperately to please.
Heres a message for you:
Ready?
You suck.
Thank you,
Atomictumor

Showboat!
Oh wait, that’s Knox County.

Yeah, what I thought was ironic about this is that I don’t think I’ve badmouthed anybody in government for quite a while…

AT my man, you really have to stop beating around the bush and start being honest about your feelings …

O.O
*boggle*
You just described my job. Uncanny. Except I work for a different county. (see the above post by Eaves)
I’d like to add that our IT department does rock.

(The implanted chip told me to say that, under penalty of electric shock. Owww!)

You’re joking!
Really?
Wow.
That’s as close as I get to speechless - about Anderson Co politics.

Mrs Eaves;
Good one. I just saw the “showboat” video on the WBIR website.

I think I’m missing a reference point somewhere…
