Jefferson County Ditty

{singing}
One of these men is not like the other
One of these men just don't belong
One of these men is not like the other
He must have a friend with a JeffCo loan

The Birmingham News reported yesterday that the Jefferson County Mayor's Association will be discussing a bankruptcy option for Jefferson County's sewer debt problems during a meeting today. The article was accompanied by pictures of the mayors and their position on the issue. All agreed that bankruptcy is the best option with exception of two; one undecided, and the other against. Who was against bankruptcy? Your's truly Larry. Who was on the Jefferson County Commission during the bond deals? Your's truly Larry. Who is suspected to be unethically connected to some of the bond brokers? Yep, you guessed it.

So as I read the article, I just couldn't help hearing the tune:

One of these men is not like the other
One of these men just don't belong
One of these men is not like the other
He must have a friend with a JeffCo loan

He, being Larry, is absolutely entitled to his opinion, and I respect a person who has his or her convictions, but the coincedences are suspicious. I guess that's my opinion.
