Warning: Mad Cowboy Disease spreading to ag. community!

I got scooped yesterday. Or at least that's what Projectile Comet is saying over yonder about beating me to the poop about Tim Hearden being fired from the Record Searchlight and being replaced by yet another monkey.... You can read Tim Hearden's version of the story here. But I'm not buying it. I don't think he's "leaving," I think he was fired. But that's just my own personal conspiracy theory, and not based on any real facts or research.

I had received an anonymous tip* earlier in the week, and thought something might be coming down the pike. But alas, I wasn't sure what to do with that anonymous tip* because I'm honestly a little scared that this crazed Mad Cowboy of Tehama County might come after me.... He's definitely a little crazed, and angry. And he once called me the "Redding's Rosie O'donnell" on Redding.com. Thanks, Tim! Most sweet and professional of you ;-) Bring it on, Mad Cowboy!

So, I'm going to let Projectile Comet over yonder have all the glory for scooping the poop about Tim Hearden being "swept overboard" at the Record Searchlight.... Nice job, Projectile Comet!! Now, please, don't keep up the good work and or you'll put me out of business ;-)

**Here's what that anonymous tip said:
"I'm hearing that Timmy is off to a new job for an ag rag that likes to help cover up for chemical companies. (Wonder if the Flashlight even knows yet?) Seems he shopped himself as a reporter with extensive ag experience. Guess he was tired of Marge giving him daily word wedgies! So now he can go help shill for agrochemicals while wearing that ridiculous cowboy hat. Bon voyage!"
