     I saw a great bumper sticker the other day: “Elect a clown, expect a circus.” That’s exactly what we have with President Boy Child.
    The latest outrage was to find out that this vile wretch had told the wife of a U.S. soldier killed in action that “he knew what he signed up for.” But I doubt if the young man suspected he’d be the latest victim of an unnecessary military deployment in a strange land, only for America’s global ambitions.

    Bedford Town Council has chosen to give the public a chance to hear from the seven applicants who have filed to fill the seat of James Vest, who has resigned from council because he is moving out of town.

    Council should be commended on both counts of allowing the public access to that information.
