Political scandal!

Scandals of two different varities in the headlines.
I tried to buy a National Enquirer in Washington, but couldn't find any for sale. I was wanting to see the story they broke on John Edwards having an affair and a possible love child! Must have been embarrassing for the big news companies to be scooped by the National Enquirer. Something tells me there is still more to this story too.
And the most recent is that Colin Powell might endorse Barak Obama at the Democratic National Convention. Powell is denying this right now, but if I've learned anything from politicians, denials don't always mean much. We'll see what happens.
What were Republicans thinking when we made McCain our man???!?!?!?!?!?! And the latest on McCain is that he might even consider a pro-choice vice presidential running mate. Come on people!! What's the matter with the GOP!

Busy week

I thought things would be back to normal after getting last week's fair issue out. But for some reason, this week didn't go so well and I didn't get the USD 108 school board story done, or the continuation of last week's Washington City Council meeting or some other content I wanted to include.
I usually type until about 2-3 a.m. on Tuesday nights at home, but last night around midnight, I was literally nodding off while I typed. So I said forget it, and I went to bed. I was full today anyway, so I will try to get caught up next week.

New fair barn

I heard a rumor yesterday that the fair board was wanting to build a proposed horse/beef barn on the race track site. Nope. I talked to Dr. Johnson and we have also done stories in the past on this project and the fair board has always intended on building this new barn south of the gold barn (where the current horse stalls sit.) In fact, this site was written up on an explanation letter that was set out near the fair office by drawings of the fair barn.
So no, they're not going to try to take the race track.
We'll have a story on it again next week and we'll try to include the pictures of the building design.
