Fish, love your updates on Sussex County. Just want to let you know this Freeper is the Area Chair of the Washington County GOP and defacto grass roots leader of our County. We are going to Win Dist 1 for Oregon. David Wu’s seat.
We won our State District to make it a 30-30 tie which stopped so many taxes, now the next step. I instituted the PCP of the Year Contest which other Counties are taking up and may go statewide.
Basically the Tea Party has taken over the GOP here.
Pray for America
God bless Bray. I’m going to clear my upcoming calendar to get more involved in local politics.
I’ve been back and forth, lacking faith....but Sussex county is too under Tea Party control.
Also....big announcement for moi....GOT A PAYING WRITING JOB!
I tried to do politics but the publication does not do politics. So I asked what else (I knew the editor, worked for him before...how I got the job of course). He said...look around.
So I decided....TADA...gonna be a Reality Show Columnist!
Below, link to my first column....for all ye food junkees:
Got my pic/bio and goodness I’m on some kind of Twitter feed, oh and Facebook. Been followed by some of the Food Network Star and MasterChef contenders, God bless, and got a bunch of likes on Facebook.
I didn’t do any of this, and, for modesty purposes, heh...I got my butt rammed out by...GASP...an editor. Never much liked editors...Nobody every said they wanted to grow up to be a great editor as I always say.
gotta stop with the folksy tone...The Morton Report is sophisticated. Also, and for this I am embarrassed...I spelled Gordon Ramsay’s name wrong. Not much worse than spelling the main person in your story wrong.
Had to kiss the editor’s butt a bit, promised that I am fast learner....heh, funny how money makes you more respectful.
Anyway, now got to sit and rearrange my finances as I’ve made quite a bit of money (well by my standards) on writing this year....Chicken Soup for the Soul things/ad revenue from my Blog. For this gig, it’s starting out all right and I can submit one column every day. Don’s know if I’ll do that much but hey, I can write a column like this in about fifteen minutes....nice little sideline.
But hey mon...TAXES! ACCCCCKKKK!!!! gotta pay taxes on this money, losing property tax discount. If I don’t watch out, might get to a point where I start losing SS money.
World looks different when they’re in there taking YOUR money.
Heh.
