Your winning theme. Drumroll, please.
Asians and The Gays: More of Rexie’s Ways
Merle says
Here is my idea.
We Ain’t Got a Lot, So Now We Grow Pot
Alexis says
Works for me.
Now In Depends says
Funny, creative stuff, gentlemen. Thanks.
Question Lancaster Authority says
Rex, Marv, Austin and Steve,
Corrupt and Dumb as You Can Believe
Alexis says
The voters elected these politicians. Maybe the voters need to wise up (Question Lancaster Authority).
Question Lancaster Authority says
Lancaster voters are not known for their cerebral prowess. Neither are Lancaster politicians.
Hence, we have the Lancaster of today.
Alexis says
I agree that Lancaster is a complete mess. It angers me that Rex Parris keeps getting elected (4th term). Every time he is elected, I become physically ill. Yes, you are correct when you say “Hence, we have the Lancaster of today.” People can’t seem to connect the dots when it comes to the decline of this community, and the source of the decline, Rex, and those that turn a blind eye because they’re paid. As for the politicians in Palmdale, well, I will wait for an outcome that involves the truth, not gossip.
Tim Scott says
Problem is that you are underestimating the intelligence of the politicians and the power brokers that pull their strings in Lancaster. It isn’t that they aren’t smart. The problem is that they are inclined to line their own pockets as much as possible at public expense…and they are good at it. That was true before they pushed Wrecks into office, and will likely be true long after Wrecks retires or dies. Lancaster was incorporated on the ‘as a local government we can loot freely’ plan and has never operated any other way.
Now In Depends says
When Tim and Alexis aren’t fighting, their commentary is the most insightful and informative on this forum.
When they are fighting, I fee like Sheldon on Big Bang.
Alexis says
When only 14% of the voters show up to vote in Lancaster, then it is the complacency of the voters. If the people don’t care whether their politicians are corrupt by voting them out, then they get what they deserve. That goes for Palmdale too, or any other community. Don’t just sit and complain, do something that makes a better community.
Alexis says
The problem is that these corrupt politicians count on low voter turnout, and the 14% that turned out gave them what they wanted.
William says
Rex is Scum, Marv a bum
Tim Scott says
How about:
Military Appreciation, but NOT VETERANS.
Oh, I guess that is an EVERY year thing.
4-H er says
“Lancaster Sucks, But Needs the Bucks”
“Solar Fields and Dirty Deals”
“It’s Perfectly Clear, No Place Worse than Here”
“Rex, Jim, and Frank, Taking Us to the Bank”
Tim Scott says
Hmmmm….five words…
Lancaster, the Trump train Wrecks?
Parris/Trump, what a dump?
Hofbauer and Bishop, Palmdale’s Parrisites?
Those should give Trevor something to think about. Wonder how many I can send in by Nov 17th?
Not Republican/Racist AKA Nothing of Interest says
I like “Parris/Trump, what a dump”.

Boozer says
A slogan for the Fair? The Fair slogan should be Booze, Booze, and More Booze! It’s become nothing but a place to get hammered. So many fights by drunks. Booze, booze, and more booze! What ever happened to the days when you could bring your kids to the Fair an not have them seen a bunch of drunks fighting and puking.
