Lauderdale BOE/256 Racing

A reader wishes the Lauderdale County BOE a Merry Christmas:

At this time of year I’m mostly into the spirit of “Peace on Earth, Goodwill Toward Mankind”, except when it comes to the LCBOE. Owens, Fulmer, Holden, Cornelius, & Patterson all are semi-literate buffoons and profligate wastes of the oxygen they breathe. Oxygen that could be better used by people who actually know what the heck they are doing. And Hatton is a ridiculous clown who thinks donning a bow tie somehow makes him professorial. Unfortunately they are all quite accurate reflections of their inbred mouth-breather constituencies. I weep for the future if this is what passes for leadership in education. 

We're a firm believer in looking on the bright side. If Lauderdale County Schools do hit financial bottom, at least they'll have one bus driver to work for free. It's going to be a long route for Larry J. Hill.

Another reader has a question: Whatever happened to the proposed 256 Call Out television show? The Facebook page representing this organization is too cluttered to invite any meaningful digging, but it appears one episode is on video. There is a YouTube channel for 256, but no actual cable network showing this singular episode that we can find. If any readers know otherwise, please send us a correction.

For those who may not have been regular readers during the Rogersville/256 controversy over two years ago, there were complaints concerning the town of Rogersville issuing the 256 producers a drag racing permit. Mayor Richard Herston replied to us that the town had issued no such permit. No, he really wasn't lying; the town had issued 256 a parade permit knowing that the "parade" would be a drag race.

And they say Richard Herston isn't much of a politician...

It's not too late to receive for Christmas if you pay a little extra shipping:

A Walk Through Town

This is a must for Tuscumbia historians.
