Billy, Thank You!

Dear Joe & SBY News readers:

I would like to personally thank the people at WMDT for adding the Pocomoke Tattler to its lists of blogs and flowing our stories through UN-EDITED!

Additionally I would like to Thank Joe Albero of SBY news for suggesting that the Pocomoke Tattler be included on the blog listings.

There are a number of blogs and people who have jumped onto some sort of Anti-Joe Albero bandwagon because of his reporting style.

I have met Joe and spoken with him on the phone a number of times and let me tell you this, he IS a reasonable man.

I don't agree with him on everything and we disagree on a few major political issues but one thing we do agree on... is...

People in America feel like they have lost the right to disagree.

So if you have a problem with Joe Albero why don't you pick up the phone and talk to him?

Why not send a comment or e-mail USING YOUR REAL NAME?

Is it proper to say that a lot of the Anti-Albero people are there are a bunch of pussies who are afraid to say who they are and throw stones under a screen name.

If you want the mans respect, tell him you think he is wrong, tell him why & tell him who you are... (just don't invade his private property without invitation like Wayne did).

What happened to the old friends who meet in the coffee shop every day, argue about politics, then go fishing together on Saturday & are on their knees praising the Lord together on Sunday?

The left wing press has taught us that anyone who does not agree with 100% of our / their political views are demons and the enemy...

Heck if you argue about something like abortion (I am pro-life btw) in a public venue, you could be labeled as a terrorist.

Heaven forbid that a citizen in Pocomoke City questions the Boss Hogg form of politics in a public arena, yet all but a few will slap my back and agree in private.

WMDT is taking a big step forward to go backwards and support grassroots bloggers exercising freedom of the press.

Are they making money by redistributing out content with permission?

I certainly hope so, they are a business not a charity and I would encourage our readers to show their support by patronizing their local sponsors and if you saw them by reading something on ours or any blog site tell them....

As a small business owner I truly appreciate being told by a customer which advertising venue attracted their business.

Thanks WMDT, SBY News and most important all of those who read and can agree to disagree as civilized American citizens.

Sincerely,

Billy Burke, A.K.A. Boss Hogg

Totmom,

If I don't here it through my sources I have to go with official reports from the PD. I have asked it they would elaborate and throw in a few adjectives but up till now we haven't seen any. Just the fact ma'm just the facts. So I didn't hear about anything at Mikky D's.

Thanks for your kind words.
Steph
