“In response to the Shadow’s comments about teaching about the Bible: this is why we need a voucher system. When parents pay their taxes they can take their vouchers and send their child to whatever school they want whether it be Christian, Catholic, atheist, et cetera. What about choice? The Bible is history.”



“Read in the Progress-Argus that a new organization is going to clean Butts, and I’ve seen people picking up trash along the roadside. I always lift up my eyes from the gutter and see beauty, but it’s difficult to overlook a few people around town that look and smell bad. Anyway we can clean them up, too?”



“This is a story I tell my teenagers. If a cat was crossing the road and a train came along and cut his tail off. The cat turned around to see what had happened, got his head cut off. The moral of this story is don’t lose your head over a piece of tail.”



“Hello, Butts County, Jackson. I go to town for this, and I go to town for that. I go to town to get my mirror fixed, and my window unfixed. Next time I go to town to a different town.”



“Do you think the Republicans are for ordinary people and smaller government? You are walking through life deaf, dumb and blind.”



“You fellows will get a Bass Pro Shop as soon as us ladies get a Wal-Mart. You’re right about retail and industrial development. This is the way to increase our tax bases. That is what brings revenue into the county.”

“Hey. We need a sporting goods store for us country people.”



“Hi, Butts County. Henry has it all, all the things we need. Nice stores we need to shop at, nice restaurants. Now think what Jackson has. We must go to Henry to do our shopping. That’s why Jackson has ridiculously high property taxes. Thank God for Henry.”



“Hello, Butts County. Someone please help me to pick up the garbage on the side of the road. We have got to start doing something about the trash on the side of our roads. Will someone please help me?”



“Hello, Butts County. This is the Shadow. Well, as everybody knows Dick Cheney accidentally shot his friend and they told the Corpus Christi Times instead of calling the New York Times – and all of them, the media, to me are acting like a bunch of babies. Well, the man that he shot came out yesterday and had a really wonderful talk. He praised the vice president. He thanked him, prayed for his family, for what he’s going through. So people need to wake up and move on. It’s an accident. It’s over with. We got people that want to kill us. Why don’t you do something more about that instead of worrying you didn’t get the top story? Quit acting like a bunch of crybabies. Shadow, ‘bye.”



“Hey Chad, I just wanted you know I’m at the Daytona 500 and you’re not.”



“What do you think of the Bush White House now? He just approved a contract that gives guarding six USA ports to an Arab country. Two of the 9/11 attackers and some of the money came from the United Emirates, the country who is now responsible for protecting six of our ports on our soil. When questioned about it, Bush firmly said it’s a done deal. How safe do you feel now?”



“Hello, Butts County. If CUBA, which is clean Up Butts County, would sit out here on Brookwood Avenue and take down tag numbers you could probably catch all the people that’s throwing trash out on the road out here in front of my property.”



“I’d like to know what’s become of the Nextel tower that was to be built on 36 across from Jim McMichael Road. Are they still planning to put it there?”



“It’s really sad to say we were together this time last year. However, you made excuses to being elementary, still not man enough to share with me what happened. Were you afraid of becoming a real man? Being with a real woman? Do you know who you are? Well, I know what you’re not.”



“Hello, Butts County. I just want to say grandmothers should be very respectful to their granddaughters. They should not call them names. They should loan them money anytime it is needed.”

“Hello, Butts County. Yes, just wanted to let you know I have moved. And I just want ya’ll all to know that it’s been nice here in Jackson, but I’ve moved to a better place. Bet you can’t find me know.”



“Nobody’s gonna keep me better, I’m gonna stick with you forever. Nobody gonna take me higher, I’m gonna stick with you. You know how I appreciate you, nobody gonna treat me better. Nobody gonna take me higher, I must stick with you forever because you are the best baby.”



“Hello, Butts County. I always thought Christians should love their father. I know this Christian that is so hateful to her father and she has wished to see others zapped off the face of this earth. Now is that the way to be if you’re a true Christian? You should be lucky you have a father that does the things that he does for you because if he didn’t, you would have nothing. Nothing at all. So remember: continue to pray and ask for forgiveness.”
