When I analyzed Kern County federal political donations last week, I found no one had given a dime to Hillary. (At least not any Kern dimes that had been reported yet to the FEC.)

After the list ran in the paper May 1st, I got a voice message from a gentleman whose name sounded like Roy Hughes, or something similar.

"I just want to let you know there has been a contribution to Hillary Clinton's campaign," Mr. Hughes-or-something said. "After reading the article I mailed off a check to her. So I was letting you know that it's been updated, and she has a contribution from Kern County. Thank you, bye."

So there you have it. She's in like Flynn in Kern with at least one fellow who has polite phone manners and a pleasing drawl.

And like Mr. Hughes-or-something, I was letting y'all know it's been updated.
