"Myself and a group of women met with Joanne Pilchesky over running for council. She was kind enough to have us over to her home for coffee and we spent the better part of four hours trying to convince her to run. After those four hours, we were all more convinced than ever that she'd be wonderful for council. Especially under these conditions. But, she is so dedicated to what Joe is doing that she wouldn't commit. Joe seemed to be encouraging her to run, but she's a stand -by-my-man kind of woman and only wants to be side by side with Joe wherever all this takes them. What a watchdog she would be. And a marvelous personality. Maybe some day she'll change her mind. Like Jan, she's a one of a kind, very stong."
The bolded part is exactly why she would be a miserable councilperson. Talk about drinking the kool-aid. Clearly this woman does not have the capacity for independent thought. She's nothing but a squawk box for whatever nonsense her useless idiot of a husband spews out of his piehole. Her platform consists of nothing more than "Yes Dear." And we're the sheep? Christ, Joanne, you're almost as pathetic as that joke of a man you married. The second one, I mean.
"After those four hours, we were all more convinced than ever that she'd be wonderful for council." Oh, yeah? Was it Jameson's or Bushmill's that she used in your coffee?
And if I hear one more time about how Janet Evans is the solution to all of our problems, the vomit may not be so contained...
Mayor sucks...Janet should run, she'd be awesome!
Commissioner spot's open...Hey, Janet would be great as a commissioner!
Need a state senator...Janet!!!11one!!
Can't get this jar open...Did you call Janet?
Timmy's stuck in the well?...Lassie, go get Janet!
Janet Evans: Years ago, you served my father in the Clone Wars; now he begs you to help him in his struggle against the Empire. I regret that I am unable to present my father's request to you in person; but my ship has fallen under attack and I'm afraid my mission to Alderaan has failed. I've placed information vital to the survival of the rebellion into the memory systems of this R2 unit. My father will know how to retrieve it. You must see this droid safely delivered to him on Alderaan. This is our most desperate hour. Help me, Janet Evans; you're my only hope.

They will only waste time and money. Janet will have it. Just by watching this board shows how many people Doherty lost. And how people feel about Janet. I also wish Gary stayed on council. Only my opion! ! Gary would have had no problem getting voted to council. Janet as Mayor and Gary on Council, would make a dream come true. We would have our city back. AGAIN ONLY MY OPION ! !
__________________ A government for all the people, not just "Those who matter." They see Janet Evans as their Political Messiah ... I don't understand how they want to follow her, Joe Pilchesky, and Joanne Pilchesky blindly into the fire ... I do believe that Granma and her son Nobody were the biggest Gary DiBileo supporters going ... and why ... because Nobody (the poster) wanted to be a cop and Gary promised that if he were Mayor he would make this guy a cop ... So now that he lost his bid for Mayor, they are suddenly againt him bein Mayor ... why you may ask ... because Nobody is now does not meet the age requirement and Gary was his only hope for becoming a part of the SPD. Now if that's not what one would call cronism I don't know what is ... these two are probably the biggest hypocrits on DD. The are continuously saying that Mayor Doherty has his Cronies ... well tell me what politician does not have cronies ... The DD crew and the LoD will become the Cronies of their Dream Candidate ... hell they already are her cronies .... they just don't see it that way ... she gives them whatever they want ... because she thinks she will obtain what she wants by doing this ... Joe Pilchesky is the kiss of death to a candidate ... people read that site because they are curious ... that's why they read ... they don't read it because they believe as Joe and Janet believe ... some do ... most don't ... Most read because it is the craziest **** ever written and it's a sick need to keep reading because you want to know what the hell they are going to say next ... The vile evil hatred that flows from their fingertips to the keyboard is unbelievable ... the racial rants of Antisystemicmovements ... well I don't even know how to explain how it makes me feel so ... but I have to keep reading it ... it's a sickness ... I wish that I could stay away so I wouldn't help fuel their anger rants by helping the number of hits they get. Doherty may have lost a few supporters ... In fact I'm sure that he did ... but consider this ... did you ever stop to think that there is a possibility that people are agreeing with them in order to be able to continue posting. I know that had I changed my views ... Joe would have allowed me to continue posting ... he wrote me an e-mail and that is the message that he conveyed to me. But I am not a sheep .... I cannot sit and quietly let them write lies and claim them to be truths .... I am sorry another early morning rant ... gotta go ... sorry for rambling ... Have a great day all!LusNewVoice (The Original)

Some people read DD for the same reasons that other people…
…stare out their car windows as they pass by a highway wreck
…watch the Jerry Springer show
…look at road-kill and try to figure out what kind of animal it was
It’s human nature in a way…humans love the ‘spectacle’…we crave drama…we detest but simultaneously enjoy gossip.DD seems to have an appeal at that level.There are times (such as right now) when I can’t bare to go to the site.There are other times when I can’t wait to get home from work just to see what’s going on at ‘House-O-Paranoia’.
The bad news for Pilchesky is that whatever credibillity he once had as a crusader against the wrongs of Doherty (and there are some...) has long ago been polluted by rumor-mongering and the insanities posted by the likes of Elmo and Anti. In essence, HE turned HIS OWN crusade into a carnival freak-show. Foes of Pilchesky couldn't have done a better job of ever discrediting the man than he has done himself. Having the functionally illterate complaining about the communication skils of others doesn't help his credibility either. As Lus says, "Pot, meet kettle". In fact, I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when the ACLU staff first read through some DD postings. I can just picture this bright young ACLU staff person scratching his/her head and saying "Okay, just what the hell is she trying to say ?" after reading a typical Granma posting.

Girl I'm also looking forward to the day that she tells them no ... that should be quite the show ... although I don't even wish the rath of DD on Janet ... I don't think that anyone should ever have to endure what they do to people. Not even Janet.
I also am looking forward to the day that she begins to live by the rules that she expects others to live by .... but hell just might freeze over before we ever see either one of these things happen.
She holds others to such high standards ... she expects them to be prepared ... she never is ... she claims it's because she does not get her information until right before the meeting ... well she gets a lunch ... she can drive herself over to City Hall and pick it up on lunch ... that would give her few hours to review this important information before she got to the meeting ... but then again she claims that the others get information that she never gets ... I guess they intentionally leave it out of her packet ... it's easy to claim ignorance that way you don't have to make a real decision ... but if a student did that in her class ... she would say that they were unprepared and more than likely the would not receive a passing grade. So Janet ... you get an F in preparedness ... sorry Honey ... you have to go to Summer School!
She expected that Bob McTiernan conduct no City Business on School Time, she would turn him in if he did, so he didn't ... but she herself continuously sits in the hallway talking on her Cell phone conducting City Business when she should be teaching ... hmmmm .... different rules for Janet ... Oh well ... I never expect more from others than I myself am willing to do or give ... But Janet well she's special .... she wants wants wants .... and Her as Mayor ... all I can say is Oh My God .... Joanne (Joe) Pilchesky as a council woman .... again OH MY GOOD GOD .... PLEASE HAVE MERCY ON THE CITIZENS OF SCRANTON!

Give me a second to catch my breath as I run screaming from across the hall (ok, so all it took was a few clicks of the mouse, cut me some slack). I just read their posts under the topic about ..."any good candidates running in May". There are too many to cut and paste here - but take a look for yourself - ...any good candidates ... - the posts from late in the day of the 31st and today are some of the most ridiculous posts yet. Apparently, now all you have to do is be a catholic, and you're automatically inducted into the ICN Hall of Fame for hellbound priests.
File this under hypocrisy...in the "any good candidates" thread, some posters are calling for Lee Morgan to run for council. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Lee Morgan live outside of the city, and just owns rental property here? Contrast that with the posters wanting to tar and feather Sherry Fanucci for supposedly staying at her significant other's house in Clarks Summit or wherever, even though she owns a home in Scranton.
Could they please at least start to be consistent over there?
OK Sam ... Now I'm not trying to be a smartass with you ... but your not getting the difference between Sherry Fanucci and Lee Morgan ... you are right Lee live in the Abingtons ... however Lee worships at the alter of Joe Pilchesky ... so whatever ... they know he's not from Scranton ... he knows he's not from Scranton ... that was well established when he was protesting the building of the New Scranton High School. He was totally against the building of a new school ... I wonder if he goes to the Abington meetings and raises hell the way he raises hell in Scranton.
Sherry is not on the Pilchesky top 10 favorite list so no matter what she does ... she will be wrong ... now if she begins to play the game the way Lee and Janet Evans do ... then maybe they will lay off ... but they will never like her ... they talk about people being loyal to Doherty ... but Joe wants everyone to pledge allegiance to him ... he calls Judy Hitler ... well "Hello Pot ... This is Kettle" ... it's his way or the highway and Lee is a worshiper that's why it does not matter where he lives ... talk about a bunch of Hypocrites!!!

Girl I know you didn't want to cut and paste but Oh my God ... the ICN is divided ... I couldn't let this rant by Anti go without posting it! Is the ICN exclusive to men? Because I would have to be a hellbound nun!

Milo Ferlicker wrote:Courtright is a solid no nonsense guy but lets not forget CRF. Phillips would be a pretty strong contender but as Anti has pointed out he's not too far outside the ICN...Minooka Lions Club (like John Pocius) St. Paddy's day committee (Like 90% of the ICN)...and lets not forget the complex...he lost and as Joe has said his case left something to be desired. Milo is not saying he is not the right guy but just be wary and keep an eye on him. Why did he withdraw his name when McGoof got the appointment? He is certainly no fan of Doherty's thats for sure but Milo will only put a couple eggs in his basket at this time...Lee Morgan would be a good choice as well. Well spoken and sure as hell knows the facts. He would turn the city upside down. How about Bob Bolus? With the votes he got for mayor I would think he would have a shot at a council seat?
I like Chris Phillips and it is obvious that he is a VERY well-spoken and effective communicator. What I have to offer is not so much criticism, which could only be speculative at this point, but a serious question , which is more certin.
Phillips may not agree with the Mayor, but that doesn't mean hes an outsider. Sure, there is division within the ICN. Just because they all look alike and have a similar gene pool doesn't mean they agree on everything. I'd vote Phillips over Lesh or Popil, no doubt, but I'm not convinced that Phillips will be fair to everyone. Moreover, I'll take a Minooka ICNer over a Greenridge ICNer anyday. However, on the side of the coin, Phillips is not far outside the ICN so perhaps he can build the bridges it takes to get this city in order. I'm sure he owns a Nextell or at least a cell phone, where he can make the right calls to make the deals.
Chris Phillips is up against a SYSTEM that exists whether or not he runs, and that will despite him if he wins. I'm not scared of Doherty and what he is capable of as much as I'm afraid of the system that makes possible the exclusive city-building project that Doherty is working overtime to implement. I'm afraid that same SYSTEM might set limits on what Phillips can do.
Last, and most important: If Phillips is still on the fence about running, for whatever the reason, then I have to ask, How vulnerable is he going to be when the heat is on and he is thrown in with the lions? Janet has responded well. Courtright has too, although he is extra careful to the point that he doesn't say much. Tubby Gatelli, who was talked up to be a Maverick, ended up being an ICNer on steroids.
Chris Phillips, unfortunetly, is still a question mark. This is a serious question that we need to ask ourselves NOW, not 5 months from now when it's too late, when we're endorcing a candidate to turn this city around.
__________________ The SPD want to pinch Anti because he makes Bobby Seale look like Bryant Gumbel.
I'm reading Anti's posts again Ughhhhhhhhhh ... I stayed away from them for so long ... but I don't know ... it's like watching a bad movie ... you don't really want to continue ... but there is something about it that you just can't stop watching ... that's how I feel about Anti's posts ... OK Anti ... not all Irish catholic people know each other and they most certainly are not drawing from the same Gene Pool ... we do not all look alike ... you are kidding aren't you ... I cannot believe the crap that flows from your brain to your fingertips and to the keyboard ... and to the WWW for the world to see just what a racist you really are ... At least you like one Irishman ... and I was not aware that an Irishman from Minooka is better than an Irishman from Green Ridge ... amazing ... Lesh ... is that an Irish name? Well, I guess it could be that Mr. Lesh is part Irish ... but isn't Lesh a German name? I'm not sure but I really do not think it's Irish.Now there is a conspiracy with ICN'ers ... Nextel ... well I must admit ... I have a Nextel ... does that make me ICN?? I sure hope so because it sounds like these people have it made ... let me see ... I am Irish ... I am Catholic ... I have a Nextel ... where do I get the membership papers?Forgive me ... maybe I'm wrong here Anti ... but the endorsement wouldn't be in 5 months ... Mayor Christopher Doherty just began the 2nd year of his 2nd term ... I don't think he will be mounting his campaign in 5 months ... but who knows ... I could be wrong ... stranger things have happened ... 4 more years (that's what a good ICN'er would say right?)
And Anti ... I don't think that the SPD are after you ... if they were they would have had you ... by the way if they were it might be because you endorse the youth of Scranton to shoot at them with paintball guns ... hmmmm could that be a reason they don't like you ... just a thought dear!

I have a green thong and a funny hat - does it make me Sister Adrian? I used a crutch once because I hurt my foot - did I call it a shillailegh? On occasion, I eat Lucky Charms - does that make me a leprechaun? I had a beer last year - I even had a sip of a ShamRock shake - I've been to the Banshee a time or two - I can even scream like a banshee if need be - I'm a catholic - My favorite punch line on St. Patrick's Day is "Patty O'Furniture".
Do any of these things make me Irish? NOPE - but I'll bet across the hall, it classifies me as ICN through and through. For all the Across the Hall Players who will read this -- You see the cute little fleshy thing with a crack up the middle in the picture below?? Give it a big smooch for me.
That would be Sister Felicia on the left and Sister Alma on the right. I always wondered why they always smiled on Thursday. It must have been laundry day - Commando Day at the convent.

Is it because she works for the school district? That doesnt seem to be fair. To me it seems that it would be just as much as a conflict of interest for Judy as it would be for Mrs. Krake and Mr. Gervasi.
Ok Marathon Man ... you get the stupidity award ... yes the School District is located in the City of Scranton ... Now be careful what you wish for because if it's a conflict of interest for Judy ... HELLO ,.. what about you queen? That's right Queen Janet also works for the school district so I guess she should give up her council seat .... by your thinking ... did I get that right Marathon Man? Sorry Mrs. Evans ... DD thinks that because you work for the School District you therefore work for the city and it is a conflict of interest for you to be there.

Now I don't know about all of you but I just could never pull the lever ... or now push the screen for these people ... I don't think Marie Shumacker is all that bad she is very polite and asks some really good questions .. so I wouldn't be totally opposed to her if she has an agenda other than making the Mayor's life miserable ... but come Bill Jackowitz and Joe Tallamini ... you are cazy ... now I see why you picked the name crazy otto ....

Oh Sweet Jesus - Bill Jackowitz in a council seat? He'd mumble his way through the campaign reading speeches verbatim and ending each sentence with the word stupid - why the hell does he do that?
Isn't that Talamini guy the geezer newcomer who showed up to bi+ch about the smoking ban and then just wouldn't leave? I kind of tune him out every time he comes to the podium.
Nancy Krake would make a new bedtime story for each stop on the campaign trail and bore the $hit out of us everytime she opens her yap.
The same thing for Schumaker - and isn't she the one who opened the can of worms by sending the infamous Janet Evans email. I could be wrong, but I thought I saw her name on that thing.
Eeesh - I'd sooner vote for Franus and Lyman for those seats.
