Yesterday we were in Ohio, and this college age kid walks up to us and asked if were registered to vote yet. We told him yes, but it got to me to think about this whole operation that is going in Ohio.
For those of you who don't know... In Ohio activists are walking around with voter registration and absentee ballots on the same page. Which means you can register to vote and vote within about 5 mins.
This allows room for soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much fraud. One could certainly register to vote every day or several times a day writing in a different name and using a different address each time.
No identification is required and the whole point of registration laws is to ensure that you are telling the truth about your address, as the election board is supposed to mail you the registered voter card.
This whole absentee ballot loophole is being exploited by the Democratic party, and will be used to swing the election by enormous proportions.
This needs to be stopped and stopped now! Our elections already feel pretty meaningless, but this initiative by the Democrats and organizations like ACORN is unconscionable!

Salisbury Rail Service
When you ride down 13 and happen to know where the railroad station used to be this is the sad sight you see today, yet in its prime this was a beautiful station that served Salisbury faithfully for many years. The end came when more automobiles starting hitting the roads, and more and more local produce was shipped via truck rather than rail. The station opened in April 1914 and was for sale in March of 1958. If you ever have time look for old pictures of this station to see it at its most beautiful period. If anyone has any old pictures i would love to have a copy email me at moocha1974@comcast.net.. Thanks to local residents who sent me some great railroad pictures like one posted.

Outstanding!
The clock on my computer says 8:20 AM. In most cases I'd be saying that I not only slept in, I'd be saying I had a great nights sleep. In this case, neither are true. Jennifer and I arrived home at 3:30 AM this morning and I had to sift through around 60 e-mail messages last night before heading off to bed. So I'm not at all well rested. In fact, I can guarantee you that right now at this very moment, my eyes are puffier than Fernando Guerero's and tired enough to wine about how I feel like I just got hit by a train. Pretty selfish after our friend just went 8 rounds pounding the crap out of a guy that just wouldn't fall.
I was in the back after the fight listening to one Reporter ask Fernando, let's talk about the third round. Fernando got a serious look on his face and tried thinking back to the third round and the Reporter said, that was about the best round your opponent had. Fernando replied, it was? The Reporter replied, well, yeah, he hit you about three times in the third round and I'd have to say that was his best round. Did those punches affect you at all? Fernando replied, "he hit me?" Honest to God Folks, he had a very serious look on his face when he said it and kept that straight ace because he was completely serious. He replied, I didn't realize the guy even hit me.
If you weren't at the fight, there's a good chance you saw it on TV. If you didn't see it on TV and you didn't go to the fight, WOW! You missed one of the most pounding fights I've ever seen where the guy getting the shit kicked out of him didn't fall. Fernando beat this guy up like there's no tomorrow and gave the Fans in Salisbury a Show like no one had ever seen before. This kids heart is just unreal. How could anyone who saw that fight last night not say that Fernando didn't give 100% in each and every round? He most certainly did.
Let's talk about the crowd for a moment. Ladies & Gentlemen, THANK YOU! Thank You for attending. Thank You for supporting a local event. Thank You for supporting Salisbury and Thank You for trusting us when we assured you that you'd get your moneys worth. There was a section in the upper top left corner of the Civic Center in which I knew was supposed to stay empty because of the Showtime Camera. I knew before the fight that 4,500 tickets had been sold but there were still plenty of seats left. By 7:30 PM there was a line going out the front door for people wanting tickets, it reminded me of two week ago for the Billiard Event at Diver Downs. I went inside and spoke with Hal Chernoff and he was asking how the line was to buy tickets. I replied, Hal, this thing is going to sell out. He said, Joe, it doesn't matter. We've sold around 4,500 tickets and that's good enough.
The next thing I knew, about two hours later I started seeing the closed section in the top left corner of the Civic Center open up and I thought, I'll be damned, this thing is going to sell out. A friend called me about an hour before the Showtime Fight, (Fernando's) and asked if there were any tickets left. He and three friends wanted to head up there and get whatever seats they had, the nose bleed seats. I walked to the front to the ticket counter and I said, how many seats do you have left? He said, around a hundred or so. There were still around 15 people in line to buy tickets and I told my friends they had better hurry up. By the time the Main Event started I looked up to that section and there wasn't a seat left.
That's what I'm talking about Folks! Supporting this young man as well as Hal Chernoff was not only the right thing to do, you got your money's worth and no one can deny that. OK, so Fernando didn't drop the guy by knockout in the 1st Round. However, you got an 8 Round Show with a young man just pounding his opponent with shots to the body and head like I had never seen before. This kid had heart and while his mouth was wide open after the 2nd round gasping for air, he just wouldn't fall. I came home to several e-mail messages telling me they saw me on Showtime, woo hoo! I'd like to see that video again because I was right at the ring snapping away at shots and then hooting and hollering in support of Fernando. It was a beautiful thing!
My friend Wayne Barall was ring side taking pictures and wants everyone to visit his Site to see the photos he took of the fight. Showtime saw some of his pictures at the weigh in yesterday and immediately hired him to also take shots of last nights fight as well. GO HERE to see his photos of last night. I'll be adding my own photos later today. Thanks for sharing that link Wayne and I truly hope all of you enjoyed the fight. It was a beautiful thing to watch and there's nothing better than LIVE! When I get caught up with sleep I'll completely redo this Post or another one and talk like I have some sense. Till them, please understand I'm working off of very little sleep and I've got that stupid a$$ Sponge Bob playing in the background and my Grandson is up and looks like he's in a coma too.
Thanks for being there Folks and I mean that with all my heart. It was a very special evening for one and all.

The Media and Sarah Palin
A recent article on the Huffington Post exemplifies the media's attitude towards Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin - she's just too "folksy" and isn't smart enough for the liberal elite. This also explains why a VP candidate has had such a huge impact on the presidential race.
The lead to Arianna Huffington's post sets the stage:

The Daily Times Just Can't Get It Right
Last weekend the Daily Times came out with this article in which they had the entire story completely wrong. Now why would they twist such a story and not give the real credit where credit was due? Well, they thought it was a great enough story to post it in color but where they neglected to get it right was the FACT that it was not Coach Hal Chernoff who presented the autographed photo of Smokin Joe Frazier, it was Joe Albero who got the autographed photo and did a big presentation at this Fundraiser. Ohhhh, now that explains it, right? Well, not exactly. You see, Coach Hal Chernoff wrote the Daily Times with a Letter to the Editor telling them that he was not in fact the person who presented it, it was Joe Albero. When Hal had a difficult time getting it to them he asked if I could forward it to them and I did. I sent it directly to Joe Carmean and included Hal Chernoff so they could have his e-mail address to confirm it. Was anything ever done about it? Nope. Oh well, it is what it is. Daily Times, YOU'VE BEEN BLOGGED!
Fruitland Council Election
The Fruitland City Council election will be held on Monday, October 6, 2008 from 7:00 am until 8:00 pm at City Hall on Main St. in Fruitland. This is an important election. Every registered voter needs to make an effort to get out to vote on that day.
Mark Miciotto has talked about how he'll change things for the employees of the city. Why didn't he do it while he was in office before? The votes were on his side. It didn't happen because those three votes decided to give the employees a minimal increase. He never wanted to work with the police department. There is only one officer he has ever befriended. It's no secret that these two names are considered the crooks of Fruitland.
The only way we can stop Mark Miciotto from hurting the citizens and employees of Fruitland is by showing up at the polls. I still don't understand how Mr. Miciotto has been able to run his illegal business out of his garage. If any other citizen attempted to do this it would never get past the city council or the permit department. Do we really want someone getting away with this to sit on our city council being part of the decision of future tax increases, etc.?
I for one do not like knowing the man had his hands in my mailbox today. His excuse is to hand out his flyers. The words on them aren't worth the ink it took to print them.
Thank you,
Concerned Resident
