POSTSCRIPT
While no one expected
anything close status quo for
President Trump’s adminis-
tration, you’ve got to wonder
about this obsession over the
size of the crowd at Friday’s
inaugural. That led to phrases
like “alternative facts” being
used in place of common
sense. While it does nothing
to further Trump’s promises
to voters, the new7 president
also knows picking fights
w ith big city media plays w ell
among his supporters.
OUR TOWN
Happy Birthday, Chad
Boatwright, William
Bruce, Kory Crim, Jane
Drury, Jaqueta Hardin
and Dianne Wylie.
