It's Only Taken 3 Years But The Daily Times Finally Catches Up To Salisbury News Reports

In today's Daily Times they finally admit, (after Barrie Tilghman is out of Office) that there's a Gang problem in Salisbury. One of the funny parts about this on line article is, it consists of 5 pages. You have to click on 5 different pages just to read the entire article, boosting their Google hits in what we call "page views."

Nevertheless, I refuse to go past page one, it's a blogging thing. I saw enough catch phrases like; "Salisbury, like many suburban communities and small cities, experienced a rise in gang presence and gang activity, and while the effects of gangs in the city has not reached the levels of Baltimore City or Prince George’s County, law enforcement, prosecutors and others have been fighting to stifle their numbers."

Salisbury, like many other communities, PLEASE! If the Chief of Police didn't DENY there were any Gangs in Salisbury from the beginning, we probably wouldn't have the problems we're now experiencing in Salisbury. Heck, IF the Daily Times had reported this issue, (like Salisbury News did 3 years ago) we may not even have the problem we have today.

However, the Mayor had such a strong hold on the Daily Times and the Chief of Police, the community could have been in a better position today. The States Attorneys Office has been trying for years to get the City to change their legislation to remove Graffiti within 24 hours, yet for some reason the Chief of Police and Mayor refuse to follow the code the County is enforcing.

Police Chief Webster needs to go, we all know that. This is just another perfect example of 3 years wasted time and I personally blame the Daily Times, the former Mayor, the Police Chief and now the current Mayor who has refused to present proposed legislation from the County to help curb further graffiti.

Just a reminder: Back when the entire Downtown area was bombarded with graffiti on 10 or so buildings, (including my own) Salisbury News offered to pay for ALL of the graffiti removal on ALL buildings, not just my own. The Mayor refused to allow Joe Albero to pay for anything and after my proposal the City footed the bill to have it all removed, QUIETLY.

Free Cell Phone For Welfare Recipients

I had a former employee call me earlier today inquiring about a job, and at the end of the conversation he gave me his phone number. I asked the former employee if this was a new type of cell number and he told me yes this was his 'Obama phone'.

I asked him what an 'Obama phone' was and he went on to say that welfare recipients are now eligible to receive (1) a FREE new phone and (2) approx 70 minutes of FREE minutes every month.

I was a little skeptical because it sounded absurd! So I Googled it and low and behold he was telling the truth.

TAXPAYER MONEY IS BEING REDISTRIBUTED TO WELFARE RECIPIENTS FOR FREE CELL PHONES. This program was started earlier this year.

Atlantic Circulation

Joe,

I don't know if you have ever posted anything about Atlantic Circulation before. I thought you might want to let your readers know about them because they were in the area last night and may still be. A couple of teenagers came to my apartment in Marley Manor and convinced me to buy a magazine subscription from them. I had a strange feeling in the pit of my stomach and later on I researched the company. Apparently these kids take your money and you never see a single magazine nor can you get your money back. I am embarrassed to send this because I have been scammed. I don't know if I am more angry at the company or myself for being an idiot. I figured you might be able to save a lot of people from this since you have a lot of readers.

Thank you.

Swine Flu

Obama believes he is being proactive with Swine Flu--what a joke!

The White House¹s conclusion that Obama's approach to the swine flu is "proactive" is simply absurd. A proactive approach would have entailed quarantining the few individuals who had the disease in the beginning and placing in charge of the swine flu problem someone with a medical background, perhaps someone from the CDC. Instead, our teleprompter-dependent, indecisive, habitually-lying, now non-church going, communist, smiling president placed in charge of the problem Janet Ann
Napolitano, a career lawyer and politician, someone who had absolutely no medical background whatsoever. Napolitano is Secretary of Homeland Security.

Why did Obama put her in charge of the swine flu? Please recall that, at the time, there were many calls for her resignation from her position as Secretary of Homeland Security. She had recently labeled our heroic veterans returning from war as being among those at risk for committing domestic terrorism. Obama saved her position by convincing the American public she ad an important role: to prevent an epidemic of swine flu in the United States. It had just surfaced in Mexico.

Did Napolitano succeed? Well, Obama gave her this endeavor in the Spring of this year. It is now autumn. My liberal and democrat friends, I ask you now, "How successful was your president and your Secretary of Homeland Security? Now, when formulating your answer, try very hard to be objective. Try very hard to pay attention to what she has achieved, not how well she smiles or how promptly she answers questions in front of friendly reporters. Also, try very hard to take into account the timing of events that have led us to this point. I apologize if I sound rude, but before I die must someone get you liberals and democrats to start thinking
intelligently.

Now, I will answer the question for you: she has failed miserably. No one in Obama's communist, politically correct, spineless administration had the strength to quarantine anybody. No one in his administration could have stomached such a logical, proactive approach.

It is far too late to call Obama's approach proactive. The horse it out of the barn. Hopefully, the medical professionals will handle this debacle better than Obama's political team.

To the Obama White House Staff: Once again, you have made complete fool of yourselves and our rooky, ever-smiling president.

Jeff Gordon Fires Entire Pit Crew

This announcement followed Gordon's decision to take advantage of President Obama's plan to employ Harlem youngsters.

The decision to hire them was brought about by a recent documentary on how unemployed youths from Harlem were able to remove a set of wheels in less than 6 seconds without proper equipment, whereas Gordon's existing crew could only do it in 8 seconds with millions of dollars worth of high tech equipment. It was thought to be an excellent and bold move by Gordon's management team as most races are won or lost in the pits. However, Gordon got more than he bargained for!

At the crew's first practice session, not only was the inexperienced crew able to change all 4 wheels in under 6 seconds, but within 12 seconds they had changed the paint scheme, altered the Vin number, and sold the car to Dale Jr. for 10 cases of Bud, a bag of weed, and some photos of Jeff Gordon's wife in the shower.

SPACE ROCKER?

Joe, caught this guy doing a little space jamming here in Salisbury, ya never know what ya might see !

Sorry it was a bad pic, did not want to get to close to him, might have used the ray gun on me.

Now We Know Why He Was A General

In a recent interview, General Norman Schwarzkopf was asked if he thought there was room for forgiveness toward the people who have harbored and abetted the terrorists who perpetrated the 9/11 a ttacks on America.

His answer was classic Schwarzkopf.

The General said, "I believe that forgiving them is God's function.

OUR job is to arrange the meeting."

AMEN

A Touching Home Depot Story

Charlie was fixing a door and found that he needed a new hinge, so he
sent his wife Mary to Home Depot. At Home Depot, Mary saw a beautiful
bathroom faucet while she was waiting for Walt, (the manager) to finish
waiting on a customer.

When Walt was finished, Mary asked.. 'How much for that faucet?' Walt
replied, 'That's pewter and it costs $300.' My goodness that sure is a
lot Mary exclaimed. Then she proceeded to describe the hinge that Charlie
had sent her to buy, and Walt went to the back room to find it.

From the back room Walt yelled, 'Mary, you wanna screw for that hinge?'

Mary replied, 'No, but I will for the faucet.'

This is why you can't send a woman to Home Depot.

Justice?

The text description is very Horrific!
As horrific as this is, it needs to circulate!

The animals pictured below; car-jacked, then raped Christopher Newsom, cut off his penis, then set him on fire and fatally shot him several times while they forced his girlfriend, Channon Christian, to watch. An even more cruel fate awaited her!

Channon Christian was beaten and gang-raped in many ways for four days by all of them, while they took turns urinating on her.. Then they cut off her breasts and put chemicals in her mouth... and then murdered her.

VICTIMS:

PERPS:

Knoxville (WVLT) - The District Attorney General of Knox County announced the list of charges facing now five suspects in the double murder of Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom.

The District Attorney General Randy Nichols is not saying whether or not he will seek the death penalty, but he does say the State will seek conviction for all charges filed in a 24-page indictment from the Knox County Grand Jury.

Lemaricus Davidson, 25, faces a total of 46 charges.

Letalvis Cobbins, 24, faces a total of 46 charges.

George Thomas, 24, faces a total of 46 charges.

Vanessa Coleman, 18, faces 40 Tennessee state charges.

Eric Boyd, 24, also arrested in connection with the fatal car jacking, only faces federal charges as an accessory after the fact.

SO!!!!!

Where's Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson? Are they providing counsel and help to the families of the victims?

Of course not - the victims were white.

Why hasn't this received National coverage by the news media like the Duke 'rape' case?

Oh, that's right - the victims were white.

Why hasn't the NAACP, ACLU, New York Times etc., called for an investigation?

Must be cause the victims were white.

Why hasn't the FBI been called in to investigate this as a hate crime?

Oh, that's right - the victims were white.

So, if a white radio shock jock uses the phrase 'Nappy headed', it gets 2 weeks of constant news coverage.

If two white people are tortured, raped, and murdered by a group of black people, it barely gets a blip in the news.

Pass this around, and maybe, just maybe, it will land in the hands of someone in the media or politics, that has the guts to stand up for the white people!

Saturday's Grapevine

All cancers merit awareness

"I am also sick of the pink. My relatives and friends have died of lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, skin cancer and bladder cancer. Are we so obsessed with women's breasts that we are losing sight of the bigger picture? We need to be fighting all cancers."

While I agree that we must fight all cancers, GET A LIFE! You ANONYMOUSLY wrote this to the Newspaper, for what? You don't like pink! You can't see the good this has done for women. You turn this into an obsession over breasts!

As many know, I just recently lost my Mother to cancer. It started out as breast cancer. Then it went to her hip. Then it went to her liver. Then her bones and ultimately to her brain. Maybe I should complain just like you and yell out to the world, WHAT ABOUT MEEEEE! I don't think so.

It was a horrific experience and I believe any form of cancer is just horrible. In fact, I have an Aunt who has been fighting cancer in her brain for a year and a half now and she too is dying. My Father In Law is fighting cancer. Another close friend is in the Hospital as I draft this who just had a chunk of her lung removed because of cancer.

If I have to wear a pink shirt, tie or whatever to help any one of their causes, so be it. However, writing such a message to the Grapevine, IMHO, is just stupid. I say, bring on the pink or whatever other color you want and I'll wear it if it can help their cause. If someone wears brown, are they obsessed with colons? Like I said, GET A LIFE and move on.

Man Arrested For Failing To Register As A Sex Offender Faces More Charges

Location: Wyoming, DE

Date of Occurrence: December 1995

Suspect: Michael R. Gagnon, 45, 31000 block of New Street, Dagsboro

Resume:

Delaware State Police in Kent County have filed additional charges on a man who was arrested for failure to register as a sex offender and impersonating a police officer last week.

Troopers filed additional charges on Gagnon on Friday October 23rd after a victim came forward revealing new information concerning Gagnon’s conduct back in 1995.

After reading of Gagnon’s arrest a 27 year-old victim came forward with information that dated back to December 1995. The victim, who was 13 at the time, stated that Gagnon was babysitting him when he allegedly played a pornographic video and then sexually assaulted the him. The victim was able to flee from Gagnon and barricaded himself in his room until Gagnon relented.

OH HELL YEAH!

One of my sons serves in the military. He is still stateside, here in California . He called me yesterday to let me know how warm and welcoming people were to him and his troops everywhere he goes, telling me how people shake their hands and thank them for being willing to serve and fight for not only our own freedoms, but so that others may have them also. But he also told me about an incident in the grocery store he stopped at yesterday on his way home from the base. He said that ahead of several people in front of him stood a woman dressed in a burkha. He said when she got to the cashier she loudly remarked about the U.S. flag lapel pin the cashier wore on her smock. The cashier reached up and touched the pin, and said proudly, 'Yes, I always wear it and probably always will.'

The woman in the burkha then asked the cashier when she was going to stop bombing her countrymen, explaining that she was Iraqi.

A gentleman standing behind my son stepped forward. Putting his arm around my son's shoulders and nodding towards my son, he said in a calm and gentle voice to the Iraqi woman:

'Lady, hundreds of thousands of men and women like this young man have fought and died so that YOU could stand here, in MY country and accuse a check-out cashier of bombing YOUR countrymen. It is my belief that had you been this outspoken in YOUR own country, we wouldn't need to be there today. But, hey, if you have now learned how to speak out so loudly and clearly, I'll gladly buy you a ticket and pay your way back to Iraq so you can straighten out the mess in YOUR country that you are obviously here in MY country to avoid. Everyone within hearing distance cheered!
