(They had Pulled Pork and for once the taxpayers got what they paid for.)

Hats for children  ..........$45.99

*Friends of the Library kicked in $200 for the pork lunch.

    So, I guess there really was a "free lunch" for those in attendance.

    More Urban Renewal dollars in action. Tom Dale is the master of smoke and mirrors.

    Ah, another celebration of Nampa dependance day, brought to us by the hard working, poorly paid vanishing middle-class citizens of Nampa Idaho.

    I don't think my pork can stand to be pulled much more. Sorry but I just couldn't past up a straight line like that.

    I make a motion to change the name of Nampa to Foolsville. Those clowns in the local office are sure fooling us on how they are being such good custodians of the public trust.

A public discourse on the issues of the day makes the world a better place.

We welcome comments but they will be moderated and edited if too long or do not have anything to do with the post.
Agree or disagree just do it without profanity or it won't get posted. Try to keep your comments to no more than 300 words. Too long and I will try to edit it down or simply delete the comment. The whole idea is to get people to read your comment. Don't use 10 words when one will do the job.

It's OK to have a difference of opinion but keep it civil. I have used the "delete" feature on myself at times.

The ANONYMOUS feature for comments seems to be the most user friendly. People have commented they have difficulty with the other methods of posting comments.
