I still find it amazing how a small Eastern Shore town blog that basically pokes at our openly corrupt municipal government gets rated as the Number 1 "most influential" Blog in the State.
The big stories last week were Senior Pranks at the high school (yes kids we still love you) and the new skate board park opening. Heck we even wrote a RAVING REVIEW of the skatepark from the kids after all the bantering between us "adults" on the Blog.
Then there was the BIG story about our local MESA chapter (Mechanical, Engineering, Science Achievement) going to the State finals (we hope you win) oh and we hope nobody missed the fire whistle test.
There was good news when a story we posted (along with other bloggers) about a missing teenager from Sussex County was found safe & sound. This story rekindled a made for Jerry Springer 'flame war' on the Christine Sheddy thread who is presumed to have been murdered and burned on a farm just outside Pocomoke.
Then there was the commentary on the real estate market where a realt0r was nominated for a Darwin Award because of being so flipping stupid they are polluting the gene pool.
On the flip side in the Pocomoke Tattler Discussion Boards there was a very interesting user contribution of phone recordings from Dr. Daffy. The most interesting one is where Dr Daffy claimed that Boss Hogg (at City Hall) used extortion and threats of exposing her ex-husbands, ex-wife (It's Pocomoke) "backroom pornography" so she would withdraw from the 2005 Pocomoke City Mayoral race. That would be a good case for the feds except the real "Boss Hogg" must have a "goat" picture of her too... not being in the Blog section we don't get Blogger "points" for that one.
There was some political commentary about possible food rationing in America that might have been worthy of "#1 Statewide influence" it was a nice entry, we really hope it helps the folks in Rising Sun or La Plata.
Maybe it was our report on the Pocomoke Soroptomists celebrating 56-YEARS of Community service in Pocomoke, they are a great group my Mother & Sister have been members for decades.
It could have been our report on small town community spirit & pride when we wrote several stories about the new firehouse for the Pocomoke City Volunteer Fire Department and how we as neighbors hated to see them move.
Whatever the reason, from skateparks to claims of crooked electioneering and alleged extortion from city hall to missing persons & flame wars to civic organizations to Senior pranks at the high school, its just one more week in The Friendliest Town on the Eastern Shore.
It's Pocomoke...
Pocomoke Tattler is #1!!!!!
