Volunteers Take Pride in Helping Community

I love that the Herald makes this huge stink about the SVFD's budget and them refusing to open their records, and then writes some ass-kissing piece like this so they don't look like the bad guys. Joe Karl is absolutely one of the most transparent people on the face of the planet. This is almost as good as the "we're so awesome we sold out of papers two weeks in a row - we don't know what it is, but that's bound to be a record of some kind" story where he wrote it and quoted himself. Ridiculous.

My top two favorites are the one where he said he was old friends with Bill Gates and the one where he said his website gets 1 million hits a month. Very funny. I think he may be the only one that actually believes his own writing. The Seymour Herald is like a subtle version of The Onion.

Yeah, what's scary is that he DOES actually believe that stuff. The man dropped out of college after a semester or so because he was "smarter than the professors," and as best I can tell, he's still "smarter" than everybody - in his own mind, of course. Sometimes I read his articles just to be amused, and then it hits me that he actually thinks he's clever enough to pull one over on potential advertisers by saying they get 1 million hits a month, and it kind of pisses me off. I do love how impressed he is with himself being the "publisher of the Seymour Herald," though. I mean really, does he EVER miss a chance to quote himself in an article or write an article about something he did. The whole FBI academy story that had absolutely NOTHING to do w/ Seymour other than the fact he was in the class, and which he ran twice so he could add a picture of himself behind the podium the second week was great - vintage Joe Karl. He also has himself on the front page again this week for something or another - surprise, surprise. I think they should just breakdown and rename it the Seymour Karl and make it a tabloid. That would totally be more profitable... and more respectable.
