Before You Send Your Kids Out For Halloween.......


Be sure to know where the sex offenders are in YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

Enjoy, be safe and remember, look before you cross the street.

An Open Letter To The Thieves

To whomever stole the pumpkin off my front porch on Riverside Road during late Monday night/early Tuesday morning, thanks a lot. It was great how you made my son cry first thing as soon as he walked out the door. Great work.

My only question is, how come you only took one of them. There were three sitting out there. What's wrong? You couldn't fit it in your book-bag on the way to school?

This has not only broken his heart, but convinced me that we will not be giving out candy at Halloween ever again. I am done with kids walking through my lawn dressed in the hoodie they wore to school, carrying a book bag that they shove in my face, without so much as a thank you. My house is officially "done" with the giving end of Halloween.

My wife and I will make sure our children have a fun time and dress up and enjoy the night as they should, but you will not enjoy any more from my end.

And, if you, the thief. is an adult, then you are too pathetic for words.

Happy Halloween.

Things Don't Look Good For The Hebron FD





Inside sources have informed me that the accident in Hebron which is STILL under investigation has taken a MAJOR turn and the outcome will be shocking to many.

Although I cannot and will not get into any details at this time, the fact that this case has been under investigation for so long obviously reeks of a TON of hard work and serious legal decisions.

What I have been told even shocked me personally but I can't say as if I didn't expect it. In the very end it will be who's at fault for this accident and as the title speaks for itself, we'll leave the final breaking news for the State Police to break.

Many of you will go on the attack against me for creating such a Post, thinking I am after the Fire Departments. I am NOT! If I could tell you what I know, you wouldn't want to hear it anyway and you wouldn't believe me. Therefore we'll wait till the State Police make their Official Call.

Happy Birthday, Mary Jo, Less Ee Forget....

A few days ago, from her grave, I thought I heard Mary Jo Kopechne (July 26, 1940-July 18, 1969) call.

"This year, I would have been 67 years old. As my only wish, please refresh your memory of me and my murderer."

When Senator Ted Kennedy was merely just another Democrat bloating on Capitol Hill on behalf of liberal causes, it was perhaps excusable to ignore his deplorable past. But now that he has become the leading Democrat attack dog, positioning himself as Washington's leading arbiter of truth and integrity, the days for such indulgence are now over. It's time for good Americans to stand up and remind our countrymen why this man had to abandon his own presidential bid in 1980. It's time to say the words "Mary Jo Kopechne" out loud.

Ted Kennedy drunkenly drove his car off a bridge, extricated himself, and left Miss Kopechne behind to die in the waters underneath the Edgartown, Massachusetts, Bridge on July 17th, 1969 after a night of drinking and partying with the young blonde campaign worker.

But most Americans under 40 have never heard that story, or the details of how Kennedy swam to safety, and then tried to get his cousin Joe Garghan to say he, Garghan, was behind the wheel.

Those young voters don't know how Miss Kopechne, trapped inside Kennedy's Oldsmobile, gasped for air until she finally died (some medical experts saying two and one-half hours later), while this leading Democrat Iraq war critic rushed back to his family's compound to formulate the best alibi he could think of.

Nor does Generation X know how Kennedy was thrown out of Harvard on his ear 15 years earlier for paying a fellow student to take his Spanish final. Nor why the US Army denied him a commission because he cheated on tests.

As they listen to the Democrats' "Liberal Lion" accuse President Bush of "telling lie after lie after lie" to get America to go to war in Iraq, young voters don't know about that notorious 1991 Easter weekend in Palm Beach, when Uncle Teddy rounded up his nephews for a night on the town, an evening that ended with one of them credibly accused of rape. It's time for Republicans and Democrats with a soul to state unabashedly that they will no longer "go along with the gag" when it comes to Uncle Ted's rants about deception and moral turpitude inside the Bush White House.

If the Republicans don't, let's do it ourselves by passing this forgotten disgrace around the Internet to wake up memories of what a fraud and fake Teddy really is.

The Democrat Party should be ashamed to employ this national disgrace from Massachusetts as their spokesman!

Comments

Let's discuss the Workers Comp. Claim by my Wife briefly.

God Forbid any one of you work somewhere after being on the job for 18 years, working in the rain, snow, heat of summer and rarely getting a break. God Forbid you work for a municipality that was so behind in the times, it was the last to receive funding, equipment and or additional help. Remember, this is a place, (The Salisbury Zoo) that worked off an annual budget of $300,000.00. This was to feed the animals and pay salaries for everyone working there.

That being said, after 18 years you get injured on the job and herniate three disks in your back on the job. LIVING with that pain each and every day IS ONE THING! Do ANY of you think that ANY amount of money is going to FIX the permanent injuries that will NEVER go away?

Now I'm NOT at all playing the poor, poor pitiful me card here, believe me. However, when we returned from a short trip away from home, Jennifer went to pick up an EMPTY laundry basket 9 days ago and has been in SERIOUS pain ever since.

When you dedicate your life to animals and work for peanuts, think of the pain internally in your heart when you're told to turn in your keys, you can't perform at 100% therefore you're fired? Think about the fact that she hand raised MOST of those animals at the Zoo and is PLACED in a position where the CITY REFUSED to pay her medical bills and deny her injury claims!

The City fought Jennifer the entire way, showing no dedication and respect for 18 years of hard physical labor in what turned out to be a very thankless job. Think about this as well, because this is VERY important. Think what might have happened if I hadn't been in Jennifer's life in a financial position whereas I could afford to hire a team of attorneys and defend her. The City would have bullied yet ANOTHER injured employee and Jennifer, (like many others could have been denied anything and that's what this Mayor was out to do.

The City lost, GET OVER IT! The Commissioner admitted right in the Court Room, There's no question the Mayor was retaliating against Jennifer Albero. Hence the settlement payoff. End of story!

Now if ANYONE ELSE wants to get on this Blog and blast ANYONE who was injured on the Job, know right here and now you are someone within the Administration and or someone simply out to get Jennifer or me. You can't be that stupid to pay into an Insurance Policy and NOT expect to be compensated for a life long injury?

Quit picking on someone who was truly injured. Workers Compensation sent around vehicles with cameras and did everything they could to make damn sure the person with such a claim was in fact injured and the X-Rays of her 3 bad disks PROVED her case.

I'll state this for the record as well. IF someone can or EVER does come up with a cure, I will guarantee I will make sure that every penny is paid back so Jennifer can have her normal life back. Until then, if you've never injured your back, ask someone who has and they can tell you just how miserable life is afterwards.

Who's The Greatest Marketing Genius On Earth?

Remember Steve Martin in the Movie, The Jerk? I awoke this morning to see I have once again headlined the news in The Daily Times. "I'M SOMEBODY, I'M SOMEBODY!"

Here we have a well known Newspaper on the Eastern Shore that many people dislike. Whenever I get press or my father-in-law writes a letter to the editor, the paper can't resist adding the comment about how my wife or my father-in-laws daughter sued the city. I guess it's their way of reminding the two people on the shore that didn't already know that.

There was no "tell it like ya see it" printed competition in local news till sbynews.com came along. Yet, wait a minute, how do we market ourselves? How can we get that front page news time and time again? All you do is have the audacity to challenge this Mayor and you'll get her to do Press Conferences announcing the EXACT location of your site.

Do we bribe, (jokingly) the Chief of Police and convince him to drive around Downtown Salisury regularly at all different times of the day or night? Keeping an eye on that pesky Albero in the hopes that one day these two would sue me and get all that FREE PRESS?

There came a day when Greg Bassett was on the John Robinson Radio Show when I called and asked Greg if the paper would sell me ad space and I was turned down because they don't sell to bloggers/.commers. Yet open the paper and check them out for yourself. But WHO managed to get the ad space for free? Thank you Daily Times, Mayor and Chief. You made it all happen!

I'M SOMEBODY, I'M SOMEBODY!

ROTFLMAO!

An Example Of A Anti-Albero Blog (Posted Today)

Monday, October 29, 2007
Rich Lawyers Rent a Bus . . .

Rumor has it that FUJA and JALB Gala Event of The Year is secretly being funded by two wealthy attornies . . . Tickets to ride Bail Bonds Bus are in high demand. Prizes for the Best T-Shirt or Poster will be awarded by ME. Attire for the event will be wearing anything from business attire or the latested designed T Shirts. It sound like a great Halloween party in the making. (Please note, none of the information here has been confirmed with the rich lawyers). Limo parking is available.
Opinion/Editorial
Joe Albero has sued our City and bragged about how his (obviously healthy enough) wife got the biggest workman's compensation award in the history of Maryland. Why does he rub this stuff in my face???? I am a taxpayer in the City of Salisbury, Wicomico County, Maryland. Joe Albero has taken money out of the taxpayers dollars pockets to fund his indulgent and obnoxious life style. He brags about making people lose their jobs. He will insult absolutely anyone. He gave a F/U to the Holy Scripture when we post it. The man has no respect or common decency.
Last week I watched the fires in California. GOD BLESS ALL FIRE RIGHTERS & EMERGENCY PERSONEL & LAW ENFORCEMENT. I lived there for three years just off Camp Pendleton. Fallbrook burned and is right next to an under ground a weapons station. The Marine were fighting the fires on the base. Imagine if you will-- the I-5 & the 405 split. 12 Lanes of South Bound traffic headed North as well as the North Bound traffic going north. The whole place is burning down. What a nightmare! It must have seemed like Armageddon. Fire Fighters, They earn every bit of their pay and then some. There isn't enough money to equal the value of having these fine brave men and women, black or white, to protect us.
As for Mike Lewis. I read about the new cruisers . . . Wicomico County has the BEST COP CARS IN THE WHOLE STATE OF MARYLAND. They are sharp, fast, state of the art. How much did this cost me in tax dollars? Do we really need all of this?? Suddenly--I realized that we do! Mike Lewis bought all of this equipment to protect us from the likes of Joe Albero. We are very fortunate that our tax dollars are being spent to protect us. I will sleep much better tonight. Salisbury, Maryland, Wicomico County, the State of Maryland was a better place was better before he came here. As taxpayers we must insist that this man stop harassing our elected leaders and more importantly out citizens. Joe Albero causes discord where ever he goes. JOE ALBERO IS A PUBLIC NUISANCE.! I say we stand up for the Mayor and the Chief of Police! Many of the anti-bloggers have experienced the exact type of abuse Tilghman and Webster have. We can get on the TV news! If we make a big enough show of it we would make national. Joe Albero will be known world wide for being a dispicable pig, and he will probably enjoy it. MY FRIENDS WE WILL NOT ONLY BE VINDICATED BUT EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US CAN BE MSM!!!
Kirk Dougherty if the Chief of Police over there in Snow Hill. Hee! Hee! Hee! Think about it.

Unbelievable Comments

Ladies & Gentlemen,

I want to warn you right here and now that I am about to direct you to one of the comments I just received. IF you cannot handle VERY harsh statements and words, DON'T EVEN THINK OF GOING THERE!

However, if you can stomach the abuse we have received for months now and read it, you'll quickly see why so many have walked away from the Blogs and or any challenges this Administration has put on others in the past.

They attack you personally, your family and anything close to you JUST TO SHUT YOU UP! Well, I'm NOT going to fold. People who have run for Office in the City have had to deal with this same sort of mentality.

Scroll down to the Post A Record Sunday and read the 4th comment. Remember, it's nasty, so if you don't have the nerve for it, DON'T GO THERE!

After you read it, then think to yourself, just who would do such a thing?

The Clip-Board eliminates the use and cost of paste, the paste room, related personnel, health and related environmental regulatory issues.

The Clip-Board system provides an opportunity to establish efficient and standardized installation methods throughout an organization.

The elimination of adhesives is expected to increase the life of steel poster panels and greatly reduce the expense of their replacement.

Bill Clinton's Military Career


Bill Clinton registers for the draft on September 08, 1964, accepting all contractual conditions of registering for the draft. Selective Service Number is 326 46 228.

Bill Clinton classified 2-S on November 17, 1964.

Bill Clinton reclassified 1-A on March 20, 1968.

Bill Clinton ordered to report for induction on July 28, 1969.

Bill Clinton refuses to report and is not inducted into the military.

Bill Clinton reclassified 1-D after enlisting in the United States Army Reserves on August 07, 1969, under authority of COL. E. Holmes.

Clinton signs enlistment papers and takes oath of enlistment.

Bill Clinton fails to report to his duty station at the University of Arkansas ROTC, September 1969.

Bill Clinton reclassified 1-A on October 30, 1969, as enlistment with Army Reserves is revoked by Colonel E. Holmes and Clinton now AWOL and subject to arrest under Public Law 90-40 (2) (a) registrant who has failed to report...remain liable for induction.

Bill Clinton's birth date lottery number is 311, drawn December 1, 1969, but anyone who has already been ordered to report for induction is INELIGIBLE!

Bill Clinton runs for Congress (1974), while a fugitive from justice under Public Law 90-40.

Bill Clinton runs for Arkansas Attorney General (1976), while a Fugitive from justice.

Bill Clinton receives pardon on January 21, 1977, from President Carter.

Bill Clinton becomes the FIRST PARDONED FEDERAL FELON ever to serve as President of the United States.

All these facts come from Freedom of Information requests, public laws, and various books that have been published, and have not been refuted by Clinton.

After the 1993 World Trade Center Place Type bombing, President Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.

After the 1995 bombing in Saudi Arabia, which killed five U.S. Military personnel, Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.

After the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia, which killed 19 and injured 200 U.S. Military personnel, Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.

After the 1998 bombing of U.S. Embassies in Africa, which killed 224 and injured 5,000, Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.

After the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole, which killed 17 and injured 39 U.S. Sailors, Clinton promised that those responsible be hunted down and punished.

Maybe if Clinton had kept those promises, an estimated 3,000 people in New York and Washington, DC. Who are now dead would be alive today.

THINK ABOUT IT! It is a strange turn of events. Hillary gets $8 Million for her forthcoming memoir. Bill gets about $12 Million for his memoir yet to be written. This from two people who spent 8 years being unable to recall anything about past events while under oath.

Sincerely, Cdr. Hamilton McWhorter USN (ret)

Urban Salisbury & Parker Place Halloween Rained Out


As many of you saw full page ads in The Daily Times, lots of money was spent for a pumpkin carving event that flopped due to the rain.

Sadly, Urban Salisbury called the event off before they did any real research into the weather because I was told by my neighbor last Thursday, (who is a Farmer) the rain would end Saturday at Noon.

Granted, it was pretty cool to see the rain was in fact over at that time, (can't beat luck) and although this event was to go on between 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM, they called it off.

I stopped by, thinking there would be some really cool shots to take of every one's work and no one was there. I walked inside and asked Anne Taylor what was going on and that's when I came to learn Urban Salisbury had called it off.

Anne did let me know that there weren't many kids that showed up anyway, since no one announced the cancellation of it on the News. Well no mater what, my hat is tipped to ALL involved. This was a fantastic idea and hopefully the County can pick up on it next year and hold an INDOOR event inside the Civic Center for everyone in the County to get involved??????? HINT, HINT!

So thank you Taylor Family and thank you Urban Salisbury. "A" for effort!

My New Car!

I bought a new CADILLAC DTS and returned to the dealer the next day because I couldn't get the radio to work. The salesman explained that the radio was voice activated.

"Nelson," the salesman said to the radio.

The Radio replied, "Ricky or Willie?"

"Willie!" he continued and 'On the Road Again' came from the speakers. Then he said, "Ray Charles!" and in an instant 'Georgia on My Mind' replaced Willie Nelson.

I drove away happy, and for the next few days, every time I'd say, "Beethoven," I'd get beautiful classical music, and if I said, "Beatles," I'd get one of their awesome songs.

Yesterday, a couple ran a red light and nearly creamed my new car, but I swerved in time to avoid them. I yelled, "Assholes !" Immediately the French National Anthem began to play, sung by Jane Fonda and Barbara Streisand , backed up by Michael Moore and The Dixie Chicks , with John Kerry on guitar, Al Gore on drums, Dan Rather on harmonica, Nancy Pelosi on tambourine, Harry Reid on spoons, Bill Clinton on sax and Ted Kennedy on scotch.

Damn, I LOVE this car!

O'MALLEY TAX HIKE AN "UNNECESSARY" RIP-OFF


A number of years ago, during the Glendening Administration, Forbes Magazine characterized Maryland as a "tax hell." At the time, Governor Glendening was gleefully spending sixty cents for every forty cents the state received in revenue income. Obviously, Maryland was also a "spending hell."

Recently, a Wall Street Journal editorial proclaimed that Maryland's Governor Martin O'Malley was on a tax increase a day statewide tour. The reputable national newspaper expressed sympathy for Maryland's taxpayers. After the O'Malley tour was completed, the final wreckage included ten new tax hikes, costing a minimum of 2.5 billion dollars the first year.

The tragic reality about this assault on a Marylander's family budget is the fact that new taxes are "unnecessary." The real solution is to simply reduce new spending. By increasing spending by only 2% would eliminate about 1 billion dollars from the present deficit. The Governor's proposals include 2 billion in new spending which is a 9% increase. Furthermore, a sensible slots plan with advanced mandated payment for licensing fees would wipe out the remainder of the deficit.

Frankly, the "O'Malley tax hike" will cost 25 billion dollars over the next 10 years. The deficit during that time period is projected to be only 7 billion. Taxpayers should ask, "Why do we need an extra 18 billion out of our pockets?" The answer is obvious. Maryland politicians have always been inflicted by a communicable disease known as "spending mania." Democrat leadership in Annapolis has increased spending by 15 billion dollars in the last 10 years. In the last session of the General Assembly, the Democrat leadership cut only 200 million from the O'Malley budget. The Governor balanced the budget by raiding the emergency rainy day fund and by withdrawing 1.2 billion dollars.

Governor O'Malley has used shameful "class warfare" rhetoric falsely claiming only the rich will bear the burden of his massive tax hike. The increased income tax for the so-called rich (people earning more than $150,000) will guarantee only 170 million dollars in new funds. The other 1.5 billion dollars in tax revenue that O'Malley claims he needs will come from the wallets of working people, middle class families, and seniors. The super sales tax, vehicle title tax, permanent gas tax, and other regressive increases will penalize taxpayers at about $585 per household.

The two most "evil" tax hikes proposed by the governor are the super sales tax and the permanent gas tax increase. A 20% increase in the sales tax and expansion into the service industry will rob the Maryland private economy of more than a billion dollars. Clearly, two-thirds of our state economic engine is consumer spending. The super sales tax hike is a tax on consumer spending that will reduce economic growth and kill jobs. The reputable financial services company Ernst & Young have confirmed that O'Malley's proposals will cause a loss of jobs in Maryland.

At a time when record gas prices are strangling our citizens' cost of living spending abilities, the new O'Malley gas tax is very dangerous. This tax hike is permanent and will increase automatically every year. The governor and the politicians in Annapolis will not even be required to vote on the annual increases. The gas tax creates a spending "honeypot," financed on the backs of families and seniors, while negatively impacting all segments of our state's economy.

The O'Malley tax hikes create a minimum of ten new tax increases and is the largest in the history of our state. Maryland will jump from the third highest income tax in America to number one. Our most productive citizens, retirees, and small business owners will continue to vote with their feet and flee Maryland. Montgomery County, America's richest county, has lost 52,000 of its citizens in the past 5 years because of oppressive tax policies. Three years ago, New Jersey politicians passed a 2 billion dollar tax hike which caused an economic slowdown and dramatically decreased revenues resulting in a new 4 billion dollar deficit. The power to tax is the power to destroy, not only individuals' financial security, but an entire state's economy.

Ten years ago, our neighboring state Virginia's democrat governor, Douglas Wilder, eliminated a record 2 billion dollar deficit without raising taxes. Governor Pawlenty of Minnesota vetoed 5 billion dollars in new taxes created by the state legislature and still managed to balance the budget. The O'Malley tax hike, tragically unnecessary, is a financial nuclear strike against the people and economy of our great state.

The Daily Times Does It Again!

GO HERE Ladies & Gentlemen and see the Front Page article in today's Paper that I put out 2 months ago!!!!!

Do these people have no pride whatsoever? Tell me if you remember that article?
