Something to sink your teeth into in the Upper Cumberland   THE PUTNAM PIT [No bull] An alternative to the kibbles and slop  served up by the lap dog Hair-Oiled Citröen 'Going where no non-trough monkey has gone before -- and without a banana!'

What is a 'Fascist?' Hmmm, let's see: No plan for solving problems, helping big business, censoring the press . . .  Once in power, Mussolini had no immediate program for solving Italy's social and economic problems other than giving free rein to big business (both urban and rural), being "pragmatic," and preaching the need for discipline. Like Communists, Fascists employed totalitarian methods, but for conservative rather than socialist ends. Far more totalitarian toward the left than toward the right, Italian Fascists crushed the labor movement but allowed big business to run its affairs with a minimum of government interference.

Putnam Pit readers overwhelmingly say 'YES' City wants to help business with gas bills . . .  Mary Jo Denton  Herald-Citizen Staff  Cookeville city officials will look for ways to help some industries here that are being hit hard with a sudden jump in the cost of natural gas.

Cookeville City Attorney O'Mara blocks public inspection of video showing Councilman Harold Jackson's Drunk Driving arrest. Story

Here's one thing the local advertising circular doesn't have to worry about:  O'Mara, Shipley, dodge "worst" list And the No. 1 reason why you shouldn't have your dog neutered The  Hair-Oiled Citröen never publishes anything that corrupt politicians would want to censor because they lack the components Cookeville City Attorney O'Mara blocks public inspection of video showing Councilman Harold Jackson's Drunk Driving arrest Cookeville, Tenn. (Aug. 1, 2000) -- Police on Tuesday said an official video recording of Councilman Harold Jackson's arrest for drunk driving, in  which he allegedly refused to take a sobriety test would not be made public because City Attorney Mike O'mara determined it is "evidence" in an ongoing investigation. Police Capt. Nathan Honeycutt wrote: "[The Jackson arrest] video tape is a piece of evidence in an on-going investigation and is exempt from public inspection. Any other questions regarding that item should be directed to Cookeville City Attorney Mike O'Mara." O'Mara, recently found to have not violated civil rights during what the court acknowledged was a campaign of retaliation against a Putnam Pit  journalist because of the content of this publication, has collected some $53,000 as part-time city attorney during the last fiscal year. O'Mara also has blocked inspection of records at Cookeville Regional Medical Center, records of the investigation into the murder of Cookeville schoolteacher Darlene Eldridge, inspection of records showing where city employees surf on the Internet during work hours and when his own bills for legal services to Cookeville Regional Medical Center were being inspected guards forced an end to the inspection although it was during regular business hours. Meanwhile, he bills taxpayers for his work defending the denial of records, including those relating to his own billing.

Fowler said that she did not authorize this photo of her to be taken at work in a public building. She said she would file charges if it was unflattering. Help us spare Fowler facing the reality of whether her image is flattering. Vote in the new Putnam Pit Poll.
