A Major Victory For The Write-In Candidate

The powers at the Pinehurst Elementary School forum tonight refused to accept Charles Jannace as a legitimate candidate because he didn't have a party backing him. Charles refused to accept that, pulled up a chair, and had a seat at the table. He stated that he had a letter of invitation, but they denied ever sending such email. To resolve the issue they turned to the other two candidates to see how they felt. Rick Pollitt said "Although I am a guest here I do believe Charles Jannace is a legitimate candidate and I welcome him to the forum." ... they then turned to Ron Alessi and asked his opinion... Ron's response with arms folded and a smirk on his face was "OK"....


More to come...

Does Size Actually Matter?

OK Ladies, we're talking about the sign here!

I know Charles Jannace has been agressively out on Rt. 13 waving to the Public as well as John Cannon. Has anyone seen Ron Alessi doing so and or Rick Pollitt?

Schedules are tight and everyone seems to be trying hard to be everywhere and you have to wonder, will the yard signs and billboards actually make a difference in this race? Two weeks and counting people!

I CAN'T TAKE IT ANY MORE!

After just 32 minutes into the City Council Meeting Charles Jannace had enough. At least he had his handy palm pilot and played Pac Man the entire time. LOL

Several people made remarks about why Charles didn't get up and speak and instead left? You'll just have to ask the man himself because I truly don't have that answer. My guess, his batteries wore out.

Didn't Alessi leave his meeting early last night too? It must have something to do with being raised on warm milk and cookies at a certain time every evening?

Mike Dunn Is An Idiot!

Last night was simply unbelievable. I had the Mayor following me around trying to listen into my cell phone conversations and then I was subjected to listening the Mike Dunn show he just might be a bigger Idiot than Ron Alessi!

As they customized their rules of order on the City Council, they more or less clarified there is NO FREEDOM OF SPEECH in the City of Salisbury. Not in City Council Meetings anyway. It's time to bring some experts in because these guys are way over the line any more.

In other words, you either be nice and speak nicely to the Council or we'll say you're out of order and be done with you. The next thing you know, Bob Taylor makes a statement and Mike Dunn gavels him down and says, you can't speak to us like that. He then read a paragraph from the new rules and it did not in fact state Mr. Taylor couldn't say what he had said. So Mike Dunn looked like an Idiot, (because he is) Mike continued to state that in the "spirit" of that paragraph in which he just read, be nice or be gone, more or less.

The next thing we knew, (during the next public comment) Bob Taylor got up and spoke about another matter and as he was speaking Mike Dunn very clearly started laughing right at Bob Taylor. Now here's a man gaveling down a citizen because he didn't like his tone and the next thing we know he's laughing in the citizens face while speaking!

When they took the 7:00 break I went up to Mike Dunn and I stated, while I can understand your wanting the tone from the citizens to be more respectable here Mike, how do you think it looks when the President of the City Council clearly starts laughing in the face of a citizen while on camera? Gary Comegys immediately said, "What did I do?" I said, not you Gary, Mike was laughing while Bob Taylor was speaking and I'd like to know why Mike thinks he's above and beyond everyone else here and feels he can get away with such a thing? Mike replied, "You wanna know what I have to say to that Joe? I laugh at you too. Every time you come here Joe, I laugh at you and I have nothing more to say."

Yeah, that's your City Council President. What A Guy!

Welcome To The Salisbury Government Office Building

This is one of those items the County refuses to pay for as well as the City. In the mean time while visitors come into the building, this is what they get to see, electrical wire holding up a trash can. Barrie Tilghman has no pride but she'll spend thousands to sound proof her office? Is Barrie a screamer?

This Evenings Sunset

Is Charles Jannace Creating A Bad Name For Local Blogs?

Unlike the Daily Times who is afraid to say anything negative against the City of Salisbury and or Barrie Tilghman or the Zoo, I'll go out on a limb here and share some thoughts I have on fair campaigning.

I personally believe that if you're going to own and run a Blog Site and you have an opinion, that's one thing. However, if you have a Blog site and you want to use your own opinion as an advantage point to possibly win a political race, that's out of line, crossing the line or whatever else you want to call it.

You have not ever seen me go on the attack against Rick Pollitt or his Family, nor have I ever challenged Ron Alessi's Family. Ron Alessi, well he's just a glutton for punishment because he's an Idiot with no thought of his own.

However, Rick Pollitt is a decent man running for an office that is VERY important for this County/Community. I personally think if Charles Jannace wants to use his Website to make certain statements, that's one thing. However, to use a personal Blog Site is no different from the Daily Times bashing Charles Jannace and printing only favorable things about Rick Pollitt.

Charles, win this thing because you deserve it, not because you have more of a following than Rick does. Learn to hold your head high because you're a champion, not a cheater. To me, this is no different than hitting below the belt several times. Send your information off to Bill Duvall and myself if you have something to say. If it's news worthy, we'll print it. If it's a dirt road and shitty pictures, forget it, it's not news worthy.

A good photo is something like Barrie Tilghman going on TV without a bra. It's photos of a WWTP breaking all sorts of laws. Capped pipes at the Zoo because Rapp illegally opened the drain as soon as the MDE left or a picture of Jim Rapp popping out of some bushes obviously stalking me. A dirt/gravel road, Dee, Dee, Deeeee! You need a new photographer. LOL

We're at the tail end of this thing guys, play fair or be prepared to get blasted yourself by other Blog Sites. If Rick Pollitt were an Idiot like Alessi I might have to give in Charles but he's a respectable man who deserves a fair shot with the Voters who count. Bring him down if he's broken the law. Bring him down if he gave out $20,000,000.00 TIF's or refused to bring down a Mall.

Other wise, call the man and ask him why he hasn't paved that road and I can assure you he'll have an honorable answer. Your Blog Site is slipping Charles. If you go, go out with some class and dignity, OK?

Now let's all be friends and come out fighting fairly!

Don't Adjust Your Screen

This is a photo at night of the Memory Garden Cemetery on Memory Garden Lane. Many of the grave sites are illuminated with small crosses at night in which we travel past every single day. There was an article about this recently in The Daily Times and I thought everyone might want the opportunity to remark their own personal thoughts about it here. I'm working on one for my own grave that is much larger and is of a hand with the middle finger bright and bold standing straight up stating I was number one.

Free Trash Pickup

Why pay for trash pickup when you can simply dump your commercial trash into the trash cans provided by the City?

The Real Acronym For BLOG.

As the Daily Times tried their own version of what BLOG stands for, I thought I'd share some of my own and ask all of you to chip in, (since the Daily Times is on my Blog Site every moment of every day) and create your own "back at ya" versions.

Barrie Loves On-line Gossip

Bassett Lies On Grapevine

Give it a shot Folks, it's not as easy as it looks! This should be one of the best comment results yet.

It's Moday Barrie, CLEAN THE DAMN RIVER UP!

This area of the river near Market Street Inn is a complete disaster! The river rose so high, the trash settled on the banks and it's a mess! It won't take a boat this time. They'll now have to walk the banks of the river and clean it the old fashioned way.

The Old Mall Continues To Get Even Worse!

After all these meetings, Pres Conferences and attention, the Mall Owners still have no fulfilled their promise to clean things up and make it just about impossible to access the Old Mall. Yesterday I took these pictures of new graffiti in which policy is to clean it up within 24 hours and that's just not even considered at the Old Mall. This stuff hangs around for weeks, if not months! Blogger wouldn't allow me to load everything I wanted to show everyone this morning but this will say enough. Someone needs to get "TOUGH" with these people, that's all there is to it.

Another Business Bites The Dust In Salisbury!

This Royal Farms on Old Ocean City Road closed its doors for good recently and gave no customers any notice. They had recently renovated the location with new gas tanks and friends told me they were doing a great business when they shut their doors. Barrienomics is starting to effect the entire City and as she refuses to give everyone else million dollar TIF's they're just going to continue shutting down and going away. How many jobs have been lost in the past few months in Salisbury Barrie?

The Mason Dixon Line In Mardela

I noticed a couple of interesting things while visiting this exhibit yesterday. In one of the close up photos here you can see coins thrown inside onto the ground? The walkway leading up to it was lined with prickery bushes and they were not trimmed. Does anyone know who's supposed to care for such a location?

Renoir Is Still Undefeated And Wins Breed In PA!

We just received word Ren took Breed in the show in Pennsylvania and could be singled out now as he only needs to win a final Major for his Championship! Way to go Cassandra Williams!

Rapp Is Caught In Yet Another Lie

Jim Rapp has stated once again that the Salisbury Zoo had a record attendance at the Night of the Living Zoo. Although we're pleased to hear the Zoo did well, you're WAY OFF on that statement once again and it clearly shows Jim's lack of experience and maturity once again. I believe it was the second year they ever held the event where they had more than 8,000 in attendance, not 5,300+.

Jim regularly makes statements like this and is regularly corrected but all too many people just flat out believe what he's saying, hence there being 500 animals at the Zoo as another example. Then Ron Alessi will rubber stamp what Jim says, (knowing he's lying) at a Zoo Commission Meeting and in reality they can't actually feel good or complete about the project?

The Mayor runs this type of Local Government and in the past no one challenged it until the Blogs came along. My suggestion to "all" of you from here on out, know the Blogs are going to call you out on your lies and correct your patting yourselves on the back and "act" as if you're actually doing a better job. You don't have to lie Jim but as habitual as you are at it, I'm sure you'll come up with another excuse as to how I'm technically wrong about what I'm saying. A professional would simply say, thank you, our numbers were fantastic and our volunteers are second to none.

Now tell us the dollar figures and what you plan to do with all that money?????

Update; I just came to learn the figures were actually around 10,000 people the second year, (or so) the event had been going on. Just like the Zoo being one of the top 10 Small Zoo's in America, it disappeared from the charts once Jim Rapp became Director. Same goes with the Night of the Living Zoo event. It is almost 1/2 of what it used to be, yet Rapp tells the Press that they had a record year again. Not much different from what he released as their actual inventory of animals in the Zoo. Everything is around 1/2 of what he originally claimed with exception of animal inventory. That is actually far less than 1/2 his original number. The Zoo is failing under Jim Rapp's management and the lies stop right here.

Spoonin, Sorta!

Are your spooning days over? If so, change it, there's nothing like it! Well, maybe one thing. OK, two, but it's a great way to fall asleep, watch tv or simply wake up. See, you can learn things from animals. ;-)

See What Happens When Joe Albero Enters The Room, The Reporters Get Happy!

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. That's mainly what we are subjected to in most of the meeting we attend but whenever I arrive, something is about to happen! It was no different when I walked into the P&Z Meeting and they wanted to close the meeting off from the Public. Oh, wait a minute, didn't some of the people shown in this photo leave JUST BEFORE THAT HAPPENED? Oh well, once again, if you need any pictures, I've got them.

Hurry Up, Call Alessi! This Immigrant Has His Paycheck & He's Sending It Home To Momma!
