Mayor Tilghman Clobbers SU Mascot

Mayor Barrie Tilghman clobbered the SU Mascot during the Governor's visit earlier this week. I think he gave her the bird?

Lorenzo Cropper Or Barrie Tilghman????????

I can clearly understand Shanie's stress. I mean, how can someone like her just sit there doing NOTHING about the people that got her into that seat in the first place?

Then there's the thought of how Barrie Tilghman had such a strong voting presence within the Black Community.

So do tell me Shanie & Barrie, what have you done for the Black Community lately? Oh, that's right, Louise Smith organized a clean up around Church Street, Barrie showed up and walked away immediately as soon as she thought she got her Photo Op. Sadly, just like the other day when the Governor visited and only one person, (white)applauded the Mayor when the Governor announced her presence, the Press refused to show up for that Church Street PROPAGANDA Photo Op.

So Shanie, do call me and let me know your intentions towards STANDING UP for Lorenzo Cropper, the ONLY Paid Black Fire Fighter on the Salisbury Fire Department. I'd love to discuss this with you.

Lorenzo Cropper or Barrie Tilghman?????????????????

The Price Of Gas Is Killing Everyone

I noticed at a Gordy Mart they have a Hearse that was just sitting there. I mean, why not go to the most stressful place on earth today and wait? Makes a lot of sense. However, I'd have them advertise GORDY MART all over the side of the Hearse.

There's A Lot Of Injured People Working At Wilber's Office!

I can see where ONE employee was injured and needed special attention but clearly and regularly these yellow bags are on these meters in front of City Solicitor Paul Wilber's Office. I better be careful NOT to say he's a FOB too because Barrie might sue me again. LMAO!

Are YOU A FOB?

Wait till you see thre next Post. Seems to me people are getting special favors all over Downtown Salisbury.

Kenny Beck Moves On

Yesterday afternoon Mr. Kenny Beck had his final broadcast on 47 News and the Staff held a small party to wish him well in North Carolina.

I've learned a lot from Kenny Beck over the past couple of years and yesterday we talked one on one about his career. He explained to me how his Mother and Father are both Teachers and after his Sports Career he chose to go into Teaching as well. His Parents taught him throughout his life time how to be passionate about the things that interest you most.

After Sports, Kenny thought he'd get into Sports only Broadcasting. When this market didn't have anything available sports wise, he got a call asking if he'd be interested in an anchor position and he thought, what the heck.

Well, it's been a home run ever since. He found he actually loved doing that even more than the Sports. However, "If ESPN called tomorrow I might have to reconsider that statement."

Good Luck Kenny.

Now This Cracked Me Up!

Yesterday I was walking around Downtown when this bashed up vehicle pulled up. I noticed the Detailing signs in his back window and couldn't help but stand there and burst out in laughter.

Now I'm not at all saying this guy doesn't do good work BUT if this vehicle is an example of his final product, well, I know I wouldn't hire him. Thanks for the laugh though.

Today's Wildlife Photo

Only In The South!

I took this photo on my way down to Florida. Heck, I knew guys in Da Bronx that would do this job if you didn't pay them back a hundred bucks.

Grand Jury

While Chief See stood in front of a Grand Jury he was asked, What are you doing to balance the racial situation within the Salisbury Fire Department? Are you prepared to hire more Blacks?

Chief See replied, (photo above) Huh, Whut, Uh, Uh, I ain't gonna do it. They can go to San Domingo and get a job there.

Of course this post is a joke and there never was a Grand Jury.

However, I want EVERY single reader here to know, of the hundreds of people involved in the Salisbury Fire Department, there is only ONE Black paid professional Fire Fighter and that is Mr. Cropper. Mr. Cropper has been turned down twice now for a promotion and I strongly recommend this man hire an attorney and flat out sue the living sh*t out of the City of Salisbury.

See & Gordy have made it extremely clear that they are NOT going to advance Blacks within the Fire Department, even though they desperately need more Staff for the West Side.
