I don't know what's going on with the Daily Times but they're back to their old ways and proving that a $3 million dollar Press wasn't the saviour after all. Perhaps I'll just order the Ocean City Today and have it delivered once a week instead?

NO DAILY TIMES DELIVERY AGAIN THIS MORNING
I don't know what's going on with the Daily Times but they're back to their old ways and proving that a $3 million dollar Press wasn't the saviour after all. Perhaps I'll just order the Ocean City Today and have it delivered once a week instead?
Question of the Day, Wed 5/21
Today is National Employee Health & Fitness Day.
Does your employer have a health/fitness program or a local gym membership (free or discounted)? If not, would you join if they did?

Food for Thought
I received this from a family member who, oddly enough, is totally opposed to the war in Iraq. I haven't been able to find anything about this on "Snopes", so I can't confirm it's origin or legitimacy. I do, however, find it interesting. A very long read......but it was worth it to me.
A Powerful Piece ............................................This is one of the most profound articles that I have ever read about this Presidency, this era, and this so-called war. No matter your politics, you owe it to yourself to read this. An assessment of where the US stands in relation to the Middle East problems, this one is from the guy who had his finger on the nuclear trigger for three years as head of our defense and response complex buried under Cheyenne Mountain at Colorado Springs.He was the only person who could initiate a nuclear attack afte r advising the sitting president of a missile launch by our enemies and our need to respond.No political or civilian type in the US had more knowledge about day to day military actions around the world.Everyone should find quiet time to read this. As far as I am concerned, it is exactly the direction we should go and the consequences of not doing so are well thought out.John R. ( Jack ) Farrington, Major General, USAF (Retired)Middle East Imperative & nbsp; by: James Cash, Brigadier General, USAF, RetiredI wrote recently about the war in Iraq and the larger war against radical Islam, eliciting a number of responses. Let me try and put this conflict in proper perspective.Understand; the current battle we are engaged in is much bigger than just Iraq . What happens in the next year will affect this country and how our kids and grand kids live throughout their lifetime, and beyond. Radical Islam has been attacking the West since the seventh century. They have been defeated in the past and decimated to the point of taking hundreds of years to recover. But they can never be totally defeated. Their birth rates are so far beyond civilized world rates, that in time they recover and attempt to dominate again.There are eight terror-sponsoring countries that make up the grand threat to the West. Two , Saudi Arabia and Pakistan just need firm pressure from the West to make major reforms. They need to decide who they are really going to support and commit to that support.That answer is simple. They both will support who they think will hang in there until the end, and win.We are not sending very good signals in that direction right now, thanks to the Democrats.The other six, Afghanistan , Iraq , Iran , Syria , North Korea and Libya will require regime change or a major policy shift. Now, let's look more closely.Afghanistan and Iraq have both had regime changes, but are being fueled by outsiders from Syria and Iran . We have scared Gaddafi's pants off, and he has given up his quest for nuclear weapons, so I don't think Libya is now a threat.North Korea (the non-Islamic threat) can be handled diplomatically by buying them off. They are starving. That leaves Syria and Iran . Syria is like a frightened puppy. Without the support of Iran they will join the stronger side. So where does that leave us? Sooner, or later, we are going to be forced to confront Iran , and it better be before they gain nuclear capability.In 1989 I served as a Command Director inside the Cheyenne Mountain complex located in Colorado Springs , Colorado for almost three years. My job there was to observe (through classified means) every missile shot anywhere in the world and assess if it was a threat to the US or Canada . If any shot was threatening to either nation I had only minutes to advise the President, as he had only minutes to respond.I watched Iran and Iraq shoot missi les at each other every day, and all day long, for months. They killed hundreds of thousands of their people. Know why? They were fighting for control of the Middle East and that enormous oil supply.At that time, they were preoccupied with their internal problems and could care less about toppling the west. Oil prices were fairly stable and we could not see an immediate threat.Well, the worst part of what we have ;done as a nation in Iraq is to do away with the military capability of one of those nations. Now, Iran has a clear field to dominate the Middle East, since Iraq is no longer a threat to them.They have turned their attention to the only other threat to their dominance, they are convinced they will win, because the US is so divided, and the Democrats (who now control Congress and may contr ol the Presidency in 2008) have openly said we are pulling out.Do you have any idea what will happen if the entire Middle East turns their support to Iran , which they will obviously do if we pull out? It is not the price of oil we will have to worry about. Oil WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE to this country at any price.. I personally would vote for any presidential candidate who did what JFK did with the space program---declare a goal to bring this country to total energy independence in a decade.Yes, it is about oil. The economy in this country will totally die if that Middle East supply is cut off right now. It will not be a recession. It will be a depression that will make 1929 look like the 'good-old-days'. The bottom line here is simple. If Iran is forced to fall in line, the fighting in Iraq will end over night, and the nightmare will be over.One way or another, Iran must be forced to join modern times and the global community. It may mean a real war---if so, now is the time, before we face a nuclear Iran with the capacity to destroy Israel and begin a new ice age.I urge you to read the book 'END GAME' by two of our best Middle East experts, true American patriots and retired military generals, Paul Vallely and Tom McInerney . Th ey are our finest, and totally honest in their assessment of why victory in the Middle East is so important, and how it can be won. Proceeds for the book go directly to memorial fund for our fallen soldiers who served the country during the war on terror. You can find that book by going to the Internet through Stand-up America at.On the other hand, we have several very angry retired generals today, who evidently have not achieved their lofty goals, and insist on ranting and raving about the war. They are wrong, and doing the country great harm by giving a certain political party reason to use them as experts to back their anti-war claims.You may be one of those who believe nothing could ever be terrible enough to support our going to war. If that is the case I should stop here, as that level of thinking approaches mental disability in this day and age. It is right up there with alien abductions and high altitude seeding through government aircraft contrails. I helped produce those contrails for almost 30 years, and I can assure you we were not seeding the atmosphere. The human race is a war-like population, and if a country is not willing to protect itself, it deserves the consequences.'Enough - said!'Now, my last comments will get to the nerve. They will be on politics.I am not a Republican. And, George Bush has made enough mistakes as President to insure my feelings about that for the rest of my life. However, the Democratic Party has moved so far left, they have made me support those farther to the right.I am a conservative who totally supports the Constitution of this country. The only difference between the United States and the South American, third world, dictator infested and ever-changing South American governments, is our US Constitution.This Republic (note I did not say Democracy) is the longest standing the world has ever known, but it is vulnerable. It would take so little to change it through economic upheaval. There was a time when politicians could disagree, but still work together. We are past that time, and that is the initial step toward the downfall of our form of government.I think that many view Bush-hating as payback time. The Republicans hated the Clinton 's and now the Democrats hate Bush.So, both parties are putting their hate toward willingness to do anything for pol itical dominance to include lying and always taking the opposite stand just for the sake of being opposed. JUST HOW GOOD IS THAT FOR OUR COUNTRY?In my lifetime, after serving in uniform for President's Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan , and Bush I have a pretty good feel for which party supported our military, and what military life was like under each of their terms. And, let me assure you that times were best under the Republicans.Service under Jimmy Carter was devastating for all branches of the military. And, Ronald Regan was truly a salvation.You can choose to listen to enriched newscasters, and foolish people like John Murtha (he is no war hero), Nancy Pelosi, John Kerry, Michael Moore, Jane Fonda, Harry Reid, Russ Feingold, Hillary Clinton, Ted Kennedy, and on-and-on to include the true fools in Hollywood if you like. If you do, your conclusions will be totally wrong.The reason that I write, appear on radio talk shows, and do everything I can to denounce those people is simple. THEY ARE PUTTING THEIR THIRST FOR POLITICAL POWER AND QUEST FOR VICTORY IN 2008 ABOVE WHAT IS BEST FOR THIS COUNTRY. I cannot abide that.Pelosi clearly defied the Logan Act by going to Syria , which should have lead to imprisonment of three years and a heavy fine.Jane Fonda did more to prolong the Vietnam War than any other human being (as acknowledged by Ho Chi Minh in his writing before he died). She truly should have been indicted for treason, along with her radical husband, Tom Hayden, and forced to pay the consequences.This country has started to soften by not enforcing its laws, which is another indication of a Republic about to fall.All Democrats, along with the Hollywood elite, are sending us headlong into a total defeat in the Middle East, which will finally give Iran total dominance in the region. A lack of oil in the near future will be the final straw that dooms this Republic.However, if we refuse to let this happen and really get serious about an energy self-sufficiency program, this can be avoided. I am afraid, however, that we are going in the opposite direction.If we elect Hillary Clinton and a Democrat controlled congress, and they carry through with allowing Iran to take control of the Middle E ast, continue to refuse development of nuclear energy, refuse to allow drilling for new oil, and continue to do nothing but oppose everything Bush, it will be over in terms of what we view as the good life in the USA.Now, do I think that all who do not support the war are un-American--- of course not. They just do not understand the importance of total victory in that region.Another failure of George Bush is his inability to explain to the American people why we are there, and why we MUST win.By the way, it is not a war. The war was won four years ago. It is martial law that is under attack by Iranian and Syrian outside influences, and there is a difference.So, what do I believe? What is the bottom line? I will simply say that the Democratic Party has fielded the foulest, power hungry, anti-country, self absorbed group of individuals that I have observed in my lifetime. Our educational system is partially to blame for al lowing the mass of America to be taken in by this group. George Bush has done the best he can with the disabilities that he possesses.A President must communicate with the people. And, I would tell you that Desert Storm spoiled the people. Bush Senior's 100-hour war convinced the people that technology has progressed to the point that wars could be fought with no casualties and won in very short periods of time.I remember feeling at the time, that this was a tragedy for the US military. To win wars, you must put boots on the ground. When you put boots on the ground, soldiers are going to die. A President must make the war decision wisely, and insure that the cause is right before using his last political option.HOWEVER, CONTROLLING IRAN AND DEMOCRATIZING THE MIDDLE EAST IS THE ONLY CHOICE IF WE ARE HELL BENT ON DEPENDING ON THEM FOR OUR FUTURE ENERGY NEEDS.

A Comment About Riley Clark The SU LAX Player
jessie lane said...
Riley Clark is my childhood best friend, I have known him my whole life and I am the first to say what he did was wrong... but you people should also be ashamed of yourselves for putting up his address... I can not vouch for the other kid but riley has never done anything like this in his life. He has been going through a hard time recently and got drunk and did something incredibly stupid. But he's a kid, and he made a mistake... so please give him a break... and don't insult his parents, they are the ones who are suffering the most in this situation.
-Jessie Lane
I just couldn't resist saying the following.
"But he's a kid, and he made a mistake... so please give him a break." NO! Absolutely NOT! First of all, he's NOT a kid, he's an adult. Secondly, tell the Judge to give him a break, not the victims of his crimes! Are you just stupid, or what?
"and don't insult his parents, they are the ones who are suffering the most in this situation."
O M G! You just answered my question when it comes to stupidity! His parents are suffering more than anyone else? Try the property owners, (16 OF THEM) who are suffering! Try the young couple with young children explaining to their little ones why there's an 8 foot long 4x4 lying on the floor and yelling at your children to stay OFF the broken glass! Try explaining to your BOSS that you can't be at work today because some a$$hole slashed all the tires on your car!
Not a smart move Jessie.

Why Would the Daily Times Cover-up for Barrie Tilghman
Yesterday, we ran a post about a blatant lie told by Salisbury Mayor Barrie Parsons Tilghman. Today, the Daily Times has again made itself complicit in the shenanigans of the Tilghman administration by attempting to cover up the same lie.
On page B1 of the Daily Times we find the following correction:
As previously noted D'Alessandro was adamant that she quoted Tilghman correctly. D'Alessandro also made the same representation to Salisbury Councilwoman Terry Cohen (adding that City Administrator John Pick had also made similar statements). Why then would the Daily Times want to lead readers to believe:
As this year's heated budget debate continues, and the fiscal health of Salisbury circles the drain, we can wait with great anticipation to see what additional lengths the local Gannett arm will go to in order to protect the Queen of Barrieland.

On page B1 of the Daily Times we find the following correction:
Salisbury Mayor Barrie Parsons Tilghman supported a 10 percent water increase last year. A story in Monday's Daily Times incorrectly stated her position.We now find the Daily Times deliberately complicit in Tilghman's lie. I spoke with reporter Laura D'Alessandro before writing yesterday's post. On at least three separate occasions during our conversation I asked if she quoted Tilghman correctly. To refresh everyone's memory, Tilghman is quoted:
Tilghman said she did not recommend a water and sewer rate increase last year because citizens were already experiencing a double-digit tax hike -- 12 percent.After being pressed on the issue, by myself and others, the management of the Daily Times admitted that Tilghman's statement was false. The stance of their management now appears to be that D'Alessandro misquoted Tilghman. Unfortunately, scrutiny does not bear this out.
As previously noted D'Alessandro was adamant that she quoted Tilghman correctly. D'Alessandro also made the same representation to Salisbury Councilwoman Terry Cohen (adding that City Administrator John Pick had also made similar statements). Why then would the Daily Times want to lead readers to believe:
- Tilghman did not call for a rate hike last year (on Monday)?
- when caught, try to cover-up the Mayor's false statement by laying blame on D'Alessandro (Tuesday)?
As this year's heated budget debate continues, and the fiscal health of Salisbury circles the drain, we can wait with great anticipation to see what additional lengths the local Gannett arm will go to in order to protect the Queen of Barrieland.

Insane Photos!
If you haven't seen these two articles from Foxnews.com or in the general news, these sets of photos are pretty intense!
This set is of a Marine taking cover from fire from Afghanistan - http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,356574,00.html
And this is a photographer who got stuck by a javelin - http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,356661,00.html

The Oldest Living Salisbury Resident
.jpg)
I was recently told something I found very interesting. The gentleman on the left of the photo above is none other than Mr. George Chevalier, the oldest living resident of the City of Salisbury.
Now I have known this Gentleman for a few years now and have found him to be one of the kindest men I have ever had the pleasure of meeting and knowing. Of course he'd be considered one of the "Dirty Dozen" by the current administration but to me he's by far the most knowledgeable historians Salisbury has. I just thought I'd share this with all of you.
Oh, and Mr. Holland sitting to his right, he too is one of the "Dirty Dozen" and another one of the finest examples of a human being on this earth.

Downsizing means that The Daily Times doesn't have the Staff to cover such events and that's why you didn't see this one in today's paper.
Nevertheless, in 2006, seat belts saved some 15,383 lives. An additional 5,441 lives could have been saved if seat belts had been worn at the time of the crash. Like them or not, it's about saving lives and educating children how to properly use seat belts and or the habit of actually using them all together.
Yesterday the Shorebirds put together one heck of a successful game by welcoming the "Click it or Ticket" program to their Stadium and more than 5,000 students got to meet Police Officers from all over the State.
Wicomico County Sheriff's Department Press Releases
Incident: Resisting Arrest
Date of Incident: 19 May 2008
Location: 32000 Block of Johnson Road, Salisbury, MD
Suspects: Johnnie Henry Spence Sr., 63, Salisbury, MD
Narrative: On 19 May 2008, a deputy from the Wicomico County Sheriff’s Office responded to the residence of Johnnie Spence on Johnson Road to serve an arrest warrant on Spence. The deputy was let into the residence and confirmed Spence’s identity. When the deputy went to place Spence under arrest and attempted to place him in handcuff’s, Spence threatened to kill the deputy and became extremely uncooperative. Spence repeatedly pulled away from the deputy and attempted to prevent his arrest by struggling against the deputy. Additional units arrived and Spence was taken into custody.
Spence was transported to the Central Booking Unit at the Wicomico County Detention Center where Spence was processed and charged with resisting arrest. Additionally, deputies served the arrest warrant on Spence that initially took the deputies to his residence. That warrant consisted of charges related to a Hit and Run accident that occurred back in December 2007. Spence was taken in front of the District Court Commissioner for an initial appearance and Spence was released on Personal Recognizance.
Incident: Assault
Date of Incident: 19 May 2008
Location: 7100 Block of Wainwright Avenue, Parsonsburg, MD
Suspects: Edward Franklin Sheridan, 50, Parsonsburg, MD
Narrative: On 19 May 2008, a deputy from the Wicomico County Sheriff’s Office responded to a residence in the 7100 Block of Wainwright Avenue for a reported assault. Upon arrival, the deputy met with a victim who advised that a male subject she lives with had just assaulted her. The male subject exited the residence and was identified as Edward Franklin Sheridan of the same address as the victim. The victim advised that while she was preparing dinner, Sheridan became angry and pushed the victim into the counter causing lacerations to be inflicted on the victim’s arms. After the deputies heard the accounts of what happened, Edward Sheridan was arrest for the assault.
Sheridan was transported to the Central Booking Unit at the Wicomico County Detention Center where Sheridan was processed and charged with Second Degree Assault. After an initial appearance before a District Court Commissioner, Sheridan was held at the Detention Center on $5,000.00 bond.

Does anyone out there know how to build an Ark? Yesterday we had a pair or Canada Geese, 4 mallards and a Great Blue Heron in our front pond. We've had deer, turkeys and so many other animals cross our path here, is God telling me something? Well, I guess if the rain doesn't stop any time soon I'll get the hint and start building the Ark.

Please Barrie Tilghman, Please Run Again For Office?
While I have literally hundreds of photos of Mayor Barrie Tilghman, I'm dying to bring them out again and start posting daily. More importantly, I'm dying to watch this scumbag lose in the biggest way possible. I want this Blog to destroy her campaign by exposing the truth. I want to spend the next several months bringing facts to the people and let everyone cast their vote for a dog, rather than this scumbag.
So what do you say Barrie, Joe Albero vs. the Scumbag? Oh, by the way Folks, have ANY of you had this Mayor knock on your door like she announced she was going to do weeks and weeks ago on PAC 14? The funny part is, just how many homes do you think would slam the door in that scumbags face? Come on Barrie, run for Mayor again or admit Salisbury News brought you down. Ooooooooooh, now that's a challenge!
Barrie Tilghman went up against a man she couldn't beat, ME!
Mentors? How About Rip Off Artists Instead?
Let's give these aging Board of Education Employees a 30% Bonus over 3 years to encourage them to retire, (when the money was supposed to be used to hire NEW Teachers instead) and then HIRE them back under this Bogus BS Mentoring deal and start paying these people all over again!
The Daily Times doesn't have the ability to tell the news like it should be delivered and that's why they're failing. Their convenient excuse is, we tell a story the way it's presented to us. Well maybe in the Editorial section they could have spent some time being CREATIVE on this story instead of the LAX thing instead?
I'll add, today's paper was loaded with yesterdays news repeated again today and it was extremely thin. Can you tell I'm getting very close to cancelling my subscription? The ONLY thing that keeps me going is being able to see articles like this one today and come back and blast them about it.
The Board of Education just screwed the Wicomico County Taxpayers, ONCE AGAIN!
You Call This An Apology?
Now I know where Barrie Tilghman gets her style! This should have been an ARTICLE! If you want to gain back the trust and respect of your readers, stop the BS, step forward and RE TELL the story!

Do you think the concept of "customer service" is a thing of the past?
Do you think businesses still feel the importance of a happy customer? When was the last time you received exceptional customer service? Now think of the last time you had bad customer service. Have you vowed never to return to a business due to lack of customer service?

Just Out Of Curiousity?
Wasn't there another Salisbury LAX Player with the last name HILL in trouble last year for driving over and tearing up lawns in Nutters Crossing? Does anyone remember that name and or the outcome of such vandalism?
MARINES
Two Radical Arab Terrorists boarded a flight out of London . One took a window seat and the other sat next to him in the middle seat... Just before takeoff, a U.S. Marine sat down in the aisle seat. After takeoff, the Marine kicked his shoes off, wiggled his toes and was settling in when the Arab in the window seat said, 'I need to get up and get a coke.'
'Don't get up,' said the Marine, 'I'm in the aisle seat, 'I'll get it for you.'
As soon as he left, one of the Arabs picked up the Marines shoe and spat in it.
When the Marine returned with the coke, the other Arab said, 'That looks good, I'd really like one,too.'
Again, the Marine obligingly went to fetch it. While he was gone the other Arab picked up the Marines other shoe and spat in it.
When the Marine returned, they all sat back and enjoyed the flight.
As the plane was landing, the Marine slipped his feet into his shoes and knew immediately what had happened.
'Why does it have to be this way?' he asked. 'How long must this go on? This fighting between our nations? This hatred? This animosity? This spitting in shoes and pissing in cokes?'
THE FEW. THE PROUD. THE MARINES.
