Not to get off topic, but TAGS went from driving a '61 Galaxie to a '64.  Totally skipped the more desirable (and attractive) '63.  Bummer.

 :rofl:  The most trivial piece of trivia I've read all day!   :lmao:  I used to have a boss who knew every scrap of TAGS trivia; the staff bought him the board game.  Wonder if he knew that?  Bet he did. 

I'm picturing Big Chief Bawler as Otis; didn't Otis cry like a baby when Andy & Barney tried to trick him into thinking he died in a drunk driving accident?

Ok so lets see what happenes if he gets a job handling records or whatever paper pushing job it could be. Anyone want to take bets on how long that job will lasy if he ever screws up and loses an important file to some case in the news? Omaha seems to have a lot of those lately. I'm gettin there would be "lots o splaining to do" by OmahaSteve.

I take it you're not too confident about the big guy's ability to be competent.

After reading his post at DU about how he thinks he can get back at people that are signing a petition against him running by sending junk mail to their addresses and he forgets that his name and address are public information then yes I'd say he is defiantly not MENSA material.

Aren't the uniformed desk jockeys in police departments still sworn officers?

If he works around a police department, he'll be pushing a broom or dragging a chamois across a cruiser.

And is a police department employee allowed to conduct a partisan political campaign?

I thnk you're onto something there.  Maybe he's signaling that he's getting out, and he's going to blame the new job--and its' restrictions--for that action.
