PRAIRIE COUNTRY: Country Scribe: Fighting deerorism should be our No. 1 priority
According to the television people, I am what they call a “rural voter.” As usual, them media types are a predictin’, God willin’ and the creek don’t rise, if me and my kinfolk find a minute between mornin’ milkin’ and manure spreadin’ to get down to the town hall and figure out that fancy votin’ machine, we’ll probably pull the lever for the folks with the shortest name just because that’s all the readin’ we kin handle.

PRAIRIE COUNTRY: Country Scribe: Eric, we hardly knew ye
With these new-fangled paid obituaries, survivors are free to write what they want about the deceased without the usual editorial restraints. A favorite of mine was for a woman from out of the area who, according to the paid obit, “died unexpectedly.” She was 92. My worry is that my survivors would either try to nominate me for sainthood, which is unlikely, or tell the truth, which would be even worse. So, to settle this matter while it is still in my hands, I have decided to pen my own paid obituary well in advance.

PRAIRIE COUNTRY: Country Scribe: Financial crisis solved
The only decent thing to do, I have decided, is to suspend my column until I can figure out a way to resolve this financial crisis. After much thought, I have a developed a solution that will help Main Street, stick it to Wall Street and provide 5 million new jobs to boot. So sit down and listen up.

COUNTRY SCRIBE: Professor Thomas Howard R.I.P.
Two weeks ago, I wrote about Edward Berryman, a dear teacher who died in August. This week, I heard that another professor of mine, Thomas Howard, recently passed away as well. Two columns about old professors in three weeks? Why not. The chance to write about Tom Howard is too good to pass up.
