OK, here it is - the first school board poll of the 2008 election year.  Pick your favorite.
Note: Because filing isn’t closed yet (that’s August 1) - I’m leaving the poll open to adding names that YOU want to see.  The first option added exhibits the extent of higher thought that exists on the Left.

Coy Privette said we Republicans needed to “repent” as he voted against it.

So for the longest time, I thought I was sending local officials e-mails.
Funny thing - the bi-weekly e-mail happened once…maybe.  I didn’t know it; but my mass e-mail to 80 or so officials and candidates run up against a 50 e-mail/hour limit.  I never got an error.
What’s funny is that I got increasingly indignant about [...]
