Our Friends in Fayette County
Some time back I told you about my friends in Fayette County. That’s a small rural community between here and Austin. Two of my favorite people, Vickie and Cecil, live there. Fayette County, strongly Republican, has damn interesting politics.
Last year, one of their Republican Justice of Peaces got arrested for a multi-state lottery theft. They ain’t much trying to improve since then.
Last night, Cecil sent me a front page story in the local newspaper. Since the newspaper is subscription based, Cecil sent me a picture of it.

So, a lawyer was out stealing his opponent’s yard signs while he’s running for the office that would prosecute people for stealing yard signs. But, you know, he told the truth about doing it, dammit, and offered to apologize. That don’t work in the law books and you’d think a lawyer would know that. That’s what you’d think. And you’d think wrong.
So this morning, I asked Cecil how the election turned out.
The sign stealer came in third out of three. If you look how bad the numbers are, he came in fourth out of three.
Vickie thinks he should have stolen more signs. Vickie is usually right about these things.
I can’t confess anywhere to what I have imagined doing to Pete Sessions signs. Stealing them is pretty minor on the debasement continuum.
1Well, that made me smile. Good to see a jackwagon getting publicly humiliated. Now we need the ones on much bigger stages to get the same treatment.
2That was EPIC. Thanks. Go Vickie and Cecil.
3It’s amazing that the corner of Jefferson St. and Cedar St. in La Grange is the center of the universe in their political world. There weren’t other places where yard signs were on display?
4My Clinton yard sign was stolen during the election, so I got 2 more and put them in my front windows. Found out the area in which I live went 2-1 for Clinton.
5That’s about as rewarding as 1) Kath-a-leen Wall spending $6 mil of her own money on endless annoying commercials, but finishing third; and 2) “liberal” Repub Sarah Davis trouncing the anti-vaxxer weirdo supported and financed by Greg Abbott!
