Hick Goes Ballistic in Culpeper

We got a live one, people!

Brad Blanton, a 65-year-old psychotherapist who is running for some minor office in the state is taking umbrage because it has been pointed out that three web URLs that referenced his opponent's name redirected viewers to his own campaign web site. The local paper, the STAR EXPONENT has demanded, perhaps rashly, that he own up to any role he played in the mis-direct.

I grant that the newspaper may be stretching, but Blanton's off-the-wall, insane reply makes for some good reading for anybody who needs confirmation on the idea that these people still intermarry way too much. Click Here for the full treatment. The best line: "I just got back from Sweden where I have a new son, Jack Buddha Blanton." Jack Buddha? I grant you, that is better than "Johnny Walker". But what is this foul-mouthes, so-called psycotherapist doing out in Sweden having kids when he is running for office in Virginia?

Vote for your favorite character in this looney town:

The kooky preacher indicted for beating kids and taking indecent liberties with children was last seen buying a church bus with tinted windows. And why? So he can continue driivng kids around to his church, of course!

The Good Ol' Boy Sheriff (Lee Hart) who talks about arresting parents of victims if Charles Shifflett (See "kooky preacher," above) is found guilty. Conveniently looks the other way while Shifflett cruises by in said bus with tinted windows and kids inside.

The dumb as an anvil Commonwealth Attorney, Gary Close, who tosses a drunk guy into jail for destroying a porch while drunk, and lets Shifflett out to roam free after Shifflett was indicted on seven counts of abuse of children. Does not interfere when Shifflett drives kids in bus with tinted windows and does anything else he darn well pleases in his church circus tent. (Oh yes, Shifflett's latest church meets in a circus tent. By now, that's hardly a surprise.)

And now Brad Blanton, psychotherapist who begets (or at least receives) his children in Sweden (Jack Buddha, Jolene Czarina Siddharta, Lindsey Sue Yat-sen, and James "Fatty" Diocletian) while running for office in Virginia and demonstrates his professionalism by cursing out Alison Brophy of the Culpeper teeny-tiny paper, THE STAR EXPONENT.

Say, do you people get this way because cousins really do marry cousins in Culpeper? Is it something in the water? Or is life so dull there that you have to invent your own macabre situation comedies/tragedies?
