Our Gang


It's been a lot of years but after finding Gary Coleman as a security guard in Las Vegas we finally found Alfalfa from the Little Rascles.















When they started firing questions at last nights debate, you know, (the one Ron Alessi refused to attend) it was mainly fireman related questions and quite frankly, everyone started getting tired of them quickly!

There isn't enough time for such serious County related issues to simply debate about the Fire Departments wants and needs and they wasted a TON of time on issues the County Executive CANNOT fix or change anyway. Fortunately Charles Jannace brought that to their attention and things started to change.

More To Come......

Are you threatening me Spanky?

This is generally the way sponsored forums have went. When I was at the NAACP forum the questions were slanted toward issues affecting the minority community, so I wasn't surprised that the questions last night had a lot to do with fire/EMS services.

I didn't get to attend the PACE forums - did many of their questions have to do with the educational system?

Actually I thought Mike did a pretty good job as moderator, especially being a partisan (he's on the Democrat Central Committee).

I do agree with you on turnout though, with as many volunteer firemen as there are within our midst that room should've been packed with 200 people. With at least 20-30 people being candidates, their surrogates, or bloggers it's only about 1/2 the folks who were there with open minds.

Michael,

As I respect where we were and the fact that they asked the majority of questions NOT leaving enough time for the important ones and or the multitude of questions the audience had written down, the fact that there were next to ZERO Fire Fighters there, it was stupid! They needed to ask the IMPORTANT questions and NOT questions the County Executive has no power over! Forgive me if I seem somewhat aggressive here, it just ticks me off that these people are so lame.

I agree that Mike did in fact carry himself very well and very professional, I congratulate him. However, this is also the weasel that is running around with a New York Times article on Mike Lewis trying to slander him every opportunity he could publicly. That was NOT professional, it was very vindictive. I have very little respect for someone like that.

I think that will be enough for the Police to take over.

Jim Rapp, (grassroots)

I'm going to leave your comment up this time because it means something to me.

"grassroots said...
What a baby Joe is. He whines when others talk slander about what he is saying. The minute someone wants to call him out, take care of things like a man like Joe is always threatening to other people, he says he is calling in the police. The same police you continually bash on here, good luck.

What's interesting to me here Jim is, similar to when you had a "gang" of people surround me at the Zoo recently, (false imprisonment) this is a "GANG" of motorcycle riders, not one. I have many e-mail messages as well as posts I've copied on here that clearly show this is far more than one person. I didn't say I was Superman but I will agree, I am much more of a man than you'll ever pretend to be and I can prove of such by simply stating you can read my real name here.

Might I add, are the Police only there to protect you Jimbo? Or do my taxes in Wicomico County and the City of Salisbury count as well? See you in Court. :-)

Joe- you have accused like 4 people of being Jim Rapp. What gives? It's starting to sound like your a little paranoid. JUst saying, if you go off half coked all the time, people are not going to put much stock in what you got to say. I am not defend anyone here, just saying from my point of view ( and rest assured I am not this Rapp fellow you speak of), you look a little paranoid about comments that go against what you think.

Its just weird man.

Historical wit, townie, grassroots, shootsfromthehip all sound like folks that can't stand the likes of Joe, yet can't seem to stay away from his blogsite or resist posting on it. And all while under pseudo names. If your truly unhappy, go elsewhere, get a life. Why keep torturing yourself and the rest of us that really could care less about your infantile attacks.

Mrs. Albero- these are not attacks, just observations. And to use such heavy words as "torture" and "infantile attacks" is going a little overboard. Its not torture to post here, its debate. The backbone of any health democracy. If you don't want some criticism, don't blog. I like reading your local blogs because it humors me that people like you take yourselves so seriously. Funny funny stuff. Like my post about joe being a little paranoid promted you to post up and plead with me not to attack your husband. I find this all VERY entertaining. But there is some good conversations that get on here from time to time. But you want the conversation to be your view and no one elses. I could say that makes you a facist, but your not and I am not going to take it that far. If you "hate" me for throwing some criticism your way, block me from posting or better yet get your hubbies afmin rights and delete my posts. I don't care. I will still read and post at duvafiles and JFA? when i can. hey its your world and use poor folks are just tryin to get by with a smile. I have never cared much for joe, but I respect the man. He does things his own way and in reality that is all any man can do for himself. No one can really argue he isn't successful at what he does, look at how you guys are living. I dont hear you complainin. Especially with your nice little beemer. nice ride by the way. It was funny seeing jannace crawl out of the thing the other day! I got akick out of that.
And why post under a pseudo name? Because I dont want your man knockin on my door and saying somehting like " I got your ip address I knwo you said he said she said etc etc. Now I'm gonna sue you cause I rich and I can do that and I know your poor and cant hang in the judical system. I will break your ass all the way back into the poor ass section of town ha ha ha ha ha ha" That is why most of us use pseudo names.

I don't know, but your gettin yourself worked up over nothin. Truth is everyone has an opinion, I have heard yours and you heard mine.

joe albero said...

Historical Wit,

For once I like your most recent comment. I enjoy any man that says it like it is without an attack and you sir have done just that.

To answer your question, as paranoid as it might apear, it is VERY easy to use multiple names here and Jim Rapp does just that, it's that simple.

My Wife is not claiming all of these people are the same people as we know some of them are other people like shootfromthehip.

I'm a VERY lucky man to have a Wife that defends me, please respect that. Thank You and have a great day.

joe albero said...

Do note how all of a sudden crackerjack pops back in after all the other names were brought up. You're not fooling anyonw Jimbo. Well, maybe a few people.

Fer whatever an ole dog's opinion is worth, I can tell HistoricalWit is not an "anti-Albero."

He's gotten whipped on in these blogs fer his more liberal political views, but he's had some good comments 'bout local stuff.

And yeah, from time t'time, folks are gonna disagree with ya, Mr. A., or give ya some suggestions on doin' yer blog. That's a compliment, really, that they think ya got enough good stuff goin' here that it deserves bein' even better.

Not everyone's gonna put it as nicely as ya'd like, but they're just bein' as blunt as ya're 'bout the Mayor and all. Direct-like.

I can pret-well tell when yer gettin' a real attack as 'pposed t'when yer just gettin' disagreement or well-intended criticism. I think most folks can, too.

We can't all be golden-voiced dogs. Some of us, no matter how cute and fluffy we are, just sound yappy.

I think the stuff ya been puttin' out on the mall, the WWTP, the police horses, and real issues has been really great, and I thank ya fer it. Even I, the ole slow dog, don't always agree with yer take on things or how ya say it, but I recognize what ya been puttin' out there fer the most part really is fantastic stuff and a service t'the community.

I'm unclear as to why you felt the need to make that remark? I am agreeing with HW and I even mention my respect towards his being so direct.

Dammit.

Joe Caught us. We are all Jim Rapp.

I guess if you have a stupid mustache(charles Jannace), or are an old woman with long hair(jennifer albero, or iveska) way past the age when it is appropriate, then you can post on here without being accused of being Jim Rapp. oh yeah i forget if you have been fired from more jobs than most people(nosweat) you can too.


TOWNIE

p.s. Jennifer, if you are working for jannace now, you might have to let the insurance people know you aren't disabled anymore. You could let your exhusband know too, that way he could collect the child support you didn't pay. or you could use the paycheck to bail your son or husband out of jail instead of letting the librarian do it for you.

Because you're such an as_hole TOWNIE, I think I'll leave this comment up for all to see. As a matter of fact, just in case you try to delete it I'll copy it and paste it here.
