Today’s news was filled with so many items worthy of commentary, I’d need more hours in the day to spew my words of wisdom. So in a departure from the norm, I’m going to address several at once.
The Wilkes-Barre Area School Board President is a Gangster If you recall, Frankie has signed a plea deal with the feds for acting as the middle-man when he accepted $5,000 in cash from someone looking to get a teaching job in the district and passing it on to a school board member. The Pizz wasn’t on the board at the time, but does that matter? He gets to see how long he’s going to be wearing an orange jumpsuit on December 16th. Merry Christmas Frankie. Showing just how arrogant fellow board members are, Phil Latinski is quoted as saying, “Because everybody is innocent until proven guilty,” when asked by he voted Frankie for Prez. Hey big boy, wake up. Frankie signed a plea agreement admitting guilt. Maybe you should go back to school and learn exactly what “guilty” means and stop quoting Jack Webb. Superintendent Jeff “I’m Lee’s Brother” Namey said “having Pizzella, with this extensive background in construction, on the board and as president has saved the district hundreds of thousands of dollars.” I’d like to see those contracts and have them reviewed by an independent third party. Pizzella on the other hand says he “did nothing wrong.” So why did he sign a plea deal? Maybe he thought he was signing a petition to reduce federal sentencing guidelines for those indicted in federal corruption probes. Or perhaps he’s just dillusional and actually thinks he did nothing wrong. Educators and members of school boards are supposed to be role models for the students they are supposed to be watching over. Having someone who signed a plea deal for accepting a bribe leading the school board is just plain wrong. What kind of message is this sending to students? The members of the school board who voted “Yes for the Pizz” should be forced to resign their board position and Jeff Namey should be relieved of his duties as super. They are clearly derelict in their responsibilities. |
How Many Pastries Make Up a Truckload? According to the Times Leader, Wildlife Conservation Officer Cory Bentzoni became suspicious of Olsen when he saw him with a “truckload of pastries along Route 309 in Dallas.” How does one obtain a “truckload of pastries?” I won’t go into my views of hunting, but let’s just say that this bear lived a long time to become 707-pounds and it’s a shame his life had to come to an end on top of a pile of Krispy Kremes. |
Skrep Goes Silent This is the same commissioner who, along with former commissioner Todd “The Elitist” Vonderheid, signed the sweetheart deal to lease the very detention center which directly and indirectly feathered the nest of Conahan and Ciaverella. Skrep says he decided to keep his lips sealed on the advice of his attorney. What this really means is that his attorney knows that Skrep can’t form complete sentences and is scared to death that the dumb jock may come out and say something that may incriminate him later on, so he ordered him to shut up. |
Petrilla Spills the Beans This revelation came out during Tuesdays testimony into the Kids for Cash scandal involving Conahan and Ciavarella. Guesto was the so-called mastermind behind the debit card debacle in which he failed to document over $40,000 worth of expenses employees and elected officials put on county issued debit cards. One of the charges included drinks purchased by then deputy prison warden “Sapphire” Sam Hyder, at a Las Vegas strip club. Maryanne didn’t get the opportunity to fire Guesto because he resigned, then immediately was hired by Ciavarella as a court administrator. If all these people were related, this would be called incest. |
Then There’s Tiger. Jamie Grubbs. Kalika Moquin. Cori Rist. Jamie Jungers. Mindy Lawton. Holly Sampson. Unidentified Alleged Mistress No. 8. Unidentified Alleged Mistress No. 9. Unidentified Alleged Mistress No. 10. Joslyn James. What do all these women have in common? They’ve all been rumored to be doing the wild-thing with Tiger Woods, the golden boy of the PGA. From party girls who hang out in NYC nightclubs to porn stars, Tiger appears to have a penchant for heading over to the cheating side of town when he gets a burning sensation in his loins. His pristine image that his handlers fought so hard to protect is suddenly tarnishing like silver in your mother’s china cabinet. It all started after Tig had one too many and cracked up his pimp-mobile outside his Florida mansion in the wee small hours of the mornin’. Since then the tabloids have been full of the sultry stories of Woods so-called affairs. Word on the street is that Mrs. Woods has had enough and is heading off to Sweeden to live in her newly purchased $2.5 million home. No word on whether Nike will be dropping Woods, but there are unconfirmed reports that condom maker, Trojans, is preparing to make him an offer as the company’s new spokesman. |
