in the headlines: - Commission meets on Thanksgiving Eve with one commissioner making some dark comments about the duck pond... - Missing Idaho woman found dead - Nevada National Guard General issues statement on National Guard shooting in DC. - Family of man killed in Vegas casino sues casino for negligence - Visitor in Vegas hits Megabucks for $11 million - Powerball grows to $719 Million for Saturday

I'm Wyatt Cox with Commentary. Just remember, Bill Cosby said it best, never challenge worse. When the last county commission came through, and they botched the duck pond horribly, we said, We've got to get new commissioners in there. It couldn't get worse! Commissioner Paula Carson:  "I would like to see just a horse trailer, load up the ducks and geese, take them to Comins Lake. Then you don't have to worry with them. These geese and ducks are wild." Commissioner Hank Vogler:  "Why can't you harvest them? They sell nuts and yeast every day. Give them to the poor. Give them to the senior center. Who's going to know whether Melvin the duck is there anymore?" Commissioner Paula Carson:  "They're probably old and not tasty." Okay. Then people had the nerve to get upset that we suggested in our recent AI song that somebody was serving duck for Christmas at some commissioner's house. Go figure. Those are my thoughts. I'm Wyatt Cox.

This is Thanksgiving week, and while most of us are preparing for a relaxing week, the White Pine County Commission has decided to hold a meeting on Wednesday.  Seems four of the five members of the commission are allergic to kindness to their employees.  But the agenda is short which hopefully means the rocket scientists might not screw anything up too badly.  On the other hand, knowing that four fifths of the commission has difficulty locating their seating apparatus with both hands, anything’s possible.  They’re seeking to sell a ¾ acre plot of land in the city and get updates on budget preparations and SNPLMA grant projects.  Given that this commission couldn’t budget their way out of a paper bag and will no doubt screw things up with SNPLMA so bad there will never be a repaired duck pond, much less a Heritage Park, why bother meeting.  White Pine County is on it’s way to becoming another spectacular failure.  And remember, you voted for it.
