you know what's amazing? because one of our owners are neighbors with Doherty and because our paper in the past has endorsed Doherty, we are seen by the nuts as Doherty supporters and apologists. the fact is, many of the reporters, including myself, come from outside of Scranton and really don't have a dog in that fight. We can't be like the Puke boy and post anything without fact and they want us to report that Doherty is crooked, etc. I haven't and neither has any reporter before me found any evidence of the mayor being crooked. Really, to sum it up so i won't waste much ink on the idiots, all you have to do is look at the posts. Look at who is defended over there and look at who is persecuted. I believe you'll find those who are doing good things among the persecuted. And, again, i will say this what does Puke boy do for a living??? oh that trial is July 12 in Erie......
we don't tell him how to lose court cases, that's his job. why should we listen to him tell us how to do our jobs? we don't and wouldn't. 'nough said.

i stand corrected, the date is indeed monday july 14. it was originally scheduled for may but last week the pukeboy and his wife went to Erie and the date was rescheduled. Freed is the judge, who ironic a name---insert joke here--- in any event, it's nice to know that researcher thinks so much about me that researcher dug up an old thread just for me. by the way, i never met ray hultman. a guy by the name of larry garrison happened to have shared the same agent with me and ask me would i write a book about the jurors who thought michael jackson was guilty. i said i have my own book and it wouldn't be fair to bob jones, whom i ghost wrote man behind the mask with, for me to work on a similar project so soon. eventually garrison sent some passages to me and asked what i thought and i simply said they looked fine but i didn't believe those jurors were pressured to vote not guilty as they had claimed. i also thought they had made a stupid mistake because i felt they believed that acquitting michael would lead to a great book deal. dumb! finding him guilty would probably have netted them a 6 or like a 7 figure deal but they had no clue. in any event they sued garrison, the agent and initially named me in the suit, but later amended the suit taking me out of it. why did i come to scranton? the idiots over there, the haters, can't see the forest for the trees. i have lived the big city life and excelled in it. however raising a family my wife felt it was time for a change and the times called we came down and checked it out and when we found out that they were offering pretty much what i was already making and that you could by a really good house without going broke we said why not. it's just two hours from home and two hours from philly. also, in this business a lot of newspapers are cutting back big time and its all about corporate, corporate, corporate. here, whether any one likes them or not, we have a family ownership who isn't selling out to a corporation and a family that loves the business and takes good care of its employees and are not laying off. not to mention pay well. this is newspaper paradise here whether you agree with our reporting or not.

Well .... He answered your post ... he put up an interview with the "Progressive" which addresses censorship of the Draughon cartoon.

You must have made STD's (anyone else see the humor in the initials of this screen name) Post as he made sure to highlight each time his name is used ... although this does not particularly show that STD can spell the name it shows that the interviewer can spell the name.

But this is a great example of the DD kids peeking across the hall at us ... hmmmm ... very interesting. Not that I mind ... but I thought that the just ignored us.

Didn't think so, loser.

Well thanks to STD (that is funny, BTW) to clearing up some of the circumstances surrounding Draughon's departure. Too bad he didn't prove his point though. If anything, I ABSOLUTELY AGREE that the cartoon described in the article was in exceptionally poor taste. It's one thing to criticize the President, but to use a drawing of fallen serviceman & women in the process isn't kosher in my book. And as Paul points out, this was not a case of The Scranton Times suddenly changing a set of rules or anything like that; if anything, their standard that cartoons should support opinions of the editorial board seems very reasonable. IN FACT, JOE PILCHESKY EMPLOYS AN EXTREME VERSION OF THIS AT DD: if you post something negative about Janet Evans, Mr Free Speech spikes it. Given a choice between the two (The Scranton Times with a well defined editorial policy or Joe "Mr Free Speech" Pilchesky and his "only I decide what can be written at DD" philosophy), I'd say that The Scranton Times is the more reasonable of the two.

One other thought: the DD folks conveniently refer to organizations like the ACLU and The Progressive, but yet I doubt that most of them actually support the causes espoused by either. It's no different than their use of cut & pasted Scranton Times articles...the claim to hate the "rag", but yet it's their #1 source of local news.

Free Speech does't require a multi-paragrah disclaimer Mr. Pilchesky.

I make a killer honey dipped fried chicken...so let know when and where and I will cook my ...well you know what ...off.

oh oh oh that would be perfect!!

Keeping with the Final Edith Seinfeld Episode Theme:

Ozzie Quinn - J Peterman
Sam Patilla - Jackie Chiles
Dave Gervasi - David Puddy
Andy Sparaglia - Low Talker
Dan Hubbard - Bubble Boy
Ray Lyman - Newman

Dan Hubbard as Bubble Boy .... OMG ... tooooooooo funny!

STD responded, but it was so pointless that it isn't even worth copy pasting anyway.

Regardless of how many rungs lower he believes the Times is from the LA Times, it's still floors above STD's Wal Mart job.

Time to go shag some carts, greeter-boy.
