No Trust In Arnold

Philip R. Klein obsesses on Jefferson County Commissioner Eddie Arnold in his latest posting on the SET Political Review:

So we asked you - the readers of the Review and this is what you told us. We presented the facts as we had them - went on TV and said what we said - Arnold came and rebutted - and you voted - so here it is and what you think :

Over 80% of you either said you don't trust or are not sure of Commissioner Eddie Arnold and his explanation. And that says something.

It says Philip Klein is nuts quite loudly. In what's becoming de rigueur for the SET Political Review, Philip altered the original poll (emphasis is mine):

Even though Klein's poll ran for three weeks, only 69 people responded.

And today with technology we know that we get around 300,000 page entries through the front page and over 3 million plus page views.

Compare Philip's unsubstantiated statement with real technology from Website Outlook and Sitelor.com:

The daily readership of SET Political Review has increased to 33 visitors a day over the past week. PRK makes this claim based on dubious responses from an Internet poll that represents 00.03 percent of the total population of Jefferson County (emphasis is mine):

And so you get what you get. Corruption. And the public sees it - and they voted in our poll - and Commissioner - you better listen up. As you watch one or two of your buddies get the boot - you are next sir. Our suggestion is to start thinking about a true retirement. It is not because we don't like you. You are a nice man. But your political actions and your idea of running the government is more about spending other peoples money - rather than take more from the taxpayers and spend it on others.

Philip has been predicting this for years. From Dec. 4, 2007:

Two are waiting in the wings to run the only GOPER for any seat - being Eddie Arnold. Arnold we are told is getting a fundraiser together with some local democrats.

Commissioner Arnold ran unopposed and had no fundraisers.

This issue is over. The Review has proved its point. Arrogant, misuse of government funds and most of all - a sickness that has killed Jefferson County. We call it OPM - "Others Peoples Money."

This statement sounds like a plot from a bad Joe Landsdale novel featuring a bankrupt DQ owner in a sleepy little East Texas town, who made friends with the Small Business Administration, secured two loans, paid off his mortgage, and built a swimming pool in his back yard.

In the end, the protagonist is abducted by aliens from Planet Pearl while cranking his hot tub, transported to another galaxy, and positioned in orbit as a new moon over a world dying from OPM.
