What if the Hoopleheads had their own newspaper? Well they do

 Pity the poor people on the town council. The job itself is bad enough, but every time they meet a contingent of Hoopleheads shows up. These Hooples are hard core delusional. Basically they come to harass the poor people trying to run city government. A wallygomper shows up for the Hooples and hands out the Idiot's Gazette. It is labeled Payson News, but should really be called My favorite fantasy. The so called news is a combination of lies, innuendos, and last but not least a good dose of Jesus. Some Journalism teacher would love to have the Idiot's Gazette to show the class every violation of being a journalist. One good thing about the Gazette is you can actually see in writing the contorted mind of a Hooplehead trying to make sense of the world. 

One thing is clear the Hooples don't trust experts. A Hoople principle is the more you know about something the more you get confused. Why study when you can just make something up. The Hoople's dogs must have excreted homework. 

At the town meeting last night a Hoople accused the town of having a hidden 44 million dollars. A CPA explained where all the town money is, but that never satisfies the Hooples they just claimed the independent auditor is in cahoots with the city. They do the same with the city attorney. In the Hooplehead's Idiot's Gazette an article is titled " Attorneys are just word smiths".  It has not occurred to the editor of the Idiot's Gazette that he is just a word smith that could not make a horseshoe. 

The town meeting starts with a prayer. That in and of itself is hard to endure, but the prayer last night was by some anti abortion preacher. The prayer had a very political slant. At a former meeting another prayer asked God for everything but a cup of coffee. The meeting last night went on for four hours. There was a whole lot of nothing and it seemed like a sitting contest. 

The "Payson News "  is so bad that Kadizzle can hardly bear to read it, but picking it up again he found a statement about why the Idiots Gazette was founded. It says " We demand the TRUTH".  Wow, they demand the truth, then lie like Trump. Farther down it says " We check the facts".  It should say " We make up the facts".  To call this paper a rag would be a compliment. If you gave monkey's a typewriter you would get better results.
