1. There's this thing called "work" that keeps me from scampering down to City Hall (or a commissioners meeting) at ten or eleven in the morning to throw away an hour or two on something that will have no impact. I have to attend the county meeting on July 2 and I had to rearrange my whole schedule.

2. I would not have gone to the protest in any event. They do no good unless they are backed up with some kind of substance, and even then are viewed with indifference. A.J. brought numbers and made a detailed case at the meeting.

3. I will give ECTV the benefit of the doubt for now. But the whole deal seems suspect.

4. The council speakers are again all over the map. This time, the free swimming program has sidetracked them.

1. (I'll resist the temptation towards a snarky lawyer comment and simply say) I understand Glenn, as that's where I was too...specifcally I was teaching a class on Tuesday morning.
2. I don't do protests either, unless of course there is free food...and not just coffee (which I don't drink anyway) and donuts.
3. As will I, and truth be told, I view it with some suspicion as well. But then again I am a suspicous guy.
4. Shiny metal objects have the same effect. Go to Granma and say "Look! A new Penny!" and you will have her attention for hours.

If the Ozzinator actually does this, it will end up being really sad, pathetic and utterly usless. If these idiots think this requires a weekly protest, then what will they do if they encourtered a truly serious issue? Commit mass ritual suicide?

By the way, the reference to "Judas Gatelli" really lends an air of credibility (well at least for the Jr High set who are into name-calling) to this communication, don't you think?

We received this announcement from the taxpayers' association. There will be ongoing protests at various locations. We'll try to keep you up to date on the times and locations, so if you're interested, please check back.
===================================
Hello everyone:

As you may know that Scranton Today has announced the station has been ordered by Comcast, via Mayor Doherty's mandate, to cease broadcasting on Monday, June 30, 2008. It appears that next week's City Council meeting on Tuesday, at 10:00 AM will not be televised or recorded at a later time or date. We were aware of this announcement last night and discussion led to continue a protest demonstration against ECTV and the majority of City Council and of course the Mayor next Tuesday. It was the consensus that next Tuesday, the OECD $90,000 grant resolution will again appear somewhere on the Council's agenda.

As a result of the bad shape the city is in financially ($400 million long-term debt) because of Doherty's reckless spending, it was determined to continue demonstrating. Since we will not be able to get the unedited news out to the public, as did Scranton Today for 10 years, the taxpayers' association more than ever has to stay in the public eye.

Last night at the taxpayers association approved unanimously a motion made by Bill Jackowitz as follows:

"Motion to demonstrate on a weekly basis in different locations throughout the city of Scranton. Demonstrating against our local government including Mayor Doherty, Council President Robert McGoff Jr, Sheery Nealon Fanucci, and Judas Gatelli, for voting against the Citizens of Scranton on a regular basis, higher taxes, high fees and penalties, removal of cameras, no money for Scranton Today, large giveaways of OECD money to the rich and famous and so on. You need not be a member of the taxpayers association."

We need larger turnout next Tuesday so please talk it up with your family, friends and anyone you may have in your email data base!!!! Last night's taxpayers' meeting will be aired over channel 61 this weekend.

Thanks, as always,

Ozzie Quinn

Ag I had the same thought when I saw that letter with "Juda" Gatelli in it. For a man who is supposedly a professional man ... he sure knows how to make an a$$ out of himself.

These are the same people who want to be taken seriously by the administration and by the TT ... how does one take them seriously when they send out an email from their organization with such juvinile comments in it.

I have said it before and I will say it again ... respect is what get respect. When you have no respect for others how can you demand that they show you respect.

Ag you're right about lending creditibility to their communications and causes by calling politicians and if you remember their last communication manifesto calling the Times the Slimes.

I wonder if they'll all huddle around Ozzie's TV set this evening waiting for ch61 to go black. If anyone hears loud screeching and wailing and teeth smashing around midnight, don't fret it's probably just the LOaDs and the SLCTaxPayersAssoc saying go bye to Scranton Today.

On last thing, I noticed that the poll on the Scranton Post website asking 'Do you think that the sale of Channel 61 to Electric City TV is fair?', the Absolutely, Yes selection is leading 4 to 1 over the Absolutely, No choice. That's with over 100 votes, so I guess not everyone in the city is against someone else taking over ch61.

I wonder if ECTV told Ozzie that he and his merry band of morons (Tax Payer's Ass of the Universe) will not have their little club meetings broadcast anymore. I imagine that is what he is protesting. He can't get his band of morons face time on the TV. They are a made up group of council crazies who sit around and complain about how terrible the city is. Their meetings should be held in a tree house and not aired. Nothing more than a bunch of geezers sitting around a table complaining about how terrible everything is. Enough is enough of those iodiots!

Did you see the meeting where Ron Ellman was talking about smoking a joint ... maybe if he gave that habit up he may be able to afford his taxes ... just a thought!

Any updates on Round 2 of the weekly protests? I was passing bye about 9:50AM and saw Sammy BOy (still wearing his blue track suit and funky hat from last week) and 2-3 others huddled together on the steps. No signage or protest line at that time. Drove by again on my way home about 11:30AM and the place was slient and not a protester in sight. Did they even have one today? Did they give up already? I thought they said on JOey LAnD they were going to have hundreds of folks, family and friends protesting. Looks like another cause with no impact and down the tubes.

They can't get the people out ... nobody really wants to be seen with them ... and hell they were wrong anyway because channel 61 (ECTV) did not go dark ... it's up and running. And from what I have seen ... I don't think it's bad at all. Weather updates and community service ads run ... picture quality is much better ... I have not seen the meeting but I'm sure it will be an improvement in quality of picture and sound ... just more professional all around.

Tuesday, July 8, 2008 update.

Drove bye this morning around 9:30 AM and there wereabout 7-8 of the council craziesmilling about with their signage. Sammy Boy was looking fly in his hat and golden jammies, guess the two week oldblue ones were in the wash.Damn, I need to get me a set of those for when I'm lounging around the house. Didn't notice JOey or EDiTh or even QUeeN JaNuT in the mix.

LOaDs keep fightin' the good fight, it was nice to explain to the folks at daU for orientation about the village idiots.

I didn't see the crazies outside, but I did happen upon channel 61 when he came to the podium. Lus, yes indeed Samboy was stylin in his golden jammies and his panama hat perched atop his Pippi Longstocking hairdoo. He even felt the need to do a little hat adjustment before he spoke -- maybe to give the critters who whisper in his ear a little extra breathing room.

His schpeal started out sane enough, but that ranting reared it's ugly head by the time he stepped away.

Sadly Lus, there are always plenty of idiots, and besides, Sammy without his gold lame jammies would be like...

...1972 Elvis without the jumpsuit
...a cookout without hotdogs
...President Bush giving a speech where he pronounces every word correctly
...Pilchesky writing about Judy Gatelli without making some form of crude sexual inuendo
...hecky without shecky

Enough of the protests. The council meetings are recorded in professional fashion, even though there are (understandably) some bugs to be worked out. I anxiously await the website going live so I can watch the replay on my computer with a fast-forward capability.

The council speakers (with a few exceptions) are becoming easier to throw off track. It's like dangling a cookie in front of a toddler. It's the twelve million! No, it's the subpoena! No, it's the ECTV grant! No, it's Sherry Fanucci's pantsuit! Wait, here comes Ray Lyman to make all previous speakers totally irrelevant!

Joke.

P.S. I missed Snarky Tuesday due to a run-in with a hidden two-inch shard of glass, so I'm claiming the "Medical Exemption" and treating this as Snarky Thursday.

Speaking of the ECTV website, has it changed? I was able to go to http://www.electriccitytv.com/ a few weeks back, but that site now comes up ERROR SITE UNAVAILABLE. Anyone know if that site will be used or if they changed to a new one?

Thanks. The shard of glass ("Shard") did its best, traveling several centimeters into the pad of my right hand. However, Shard failed to do any serious/permanent damage, apparently mistaking a blood vessel for a nerve. I removed Shard, bled profusely, and made my way to Moses Taylor to sit in the waiting room with a Wegman's bag wrapped around my hand while some POS charity case crossed my name off the list so they could jump ahead with their skinned knee.

End result? $200 on the credit card (grrrr), a tetanus shot and a Band-Aid (Shard was removed completely after all). You had to see the blood, though. It is comical in hindsight, especially the part where it sprayed all over my face and white T-shirt right after I pulled Shard out. My sister thought someone attacked me.

I wasn't feeling that snarky today. I'll have to practice a bit before next Tuesday.

Ouch!!!!!!

I think you may be able to blame it on the ICN! Ask Anti ... he'll figure out a way for you to blame the Irish ... he's got a real talent for that ... and if you can't blame the Irish then my vote goes for blaming ... Stacy Brown (sorry Stacy) ... it's becoming very popular to blame him for anything and everything ... so ... what the hell ... why not blame him!

LOL ... just kidding ... I'm glad that you didn't do any serious damage and that you won out over the Shard of Glass ...

You're lucky Glenn, last time I missed Snarky Tuesday, Lus told me I needed dispensation from the Bishop to replace Thirsty Thursday.

::: ... some POS charity case ... :::
Don't tell Samboy, he probably knows the guy

::: ... My sister thought someone attacked me. :::
You guys don't have stuff like that up the line, do you?
I hear Doherty keeps all that stuff here in Scranton.

Well tomorrow is Tuesday, and you know that that means...yes, it's "Pathetic Protest Day!".

Yes, that's right it's time to protest how City Council meetings are no longer being broadcast 38 times a week on Channel 61. Mind you, there is still genocide in Darfur, Dear Leader is still starving his population in North Korea, you get thrown in jail for belong to an old-people exercise cult in China and a gallon of milk has a longer shelf-life than an independent journalist in Russia...but that's ok, just don't mess with the city council repeats in Scranton.

Utterly pathetic.

Anyone see protesters yesterday? I thought this was going to be
"these will continue until we get our way" kind of thing.

I was channel surfing and caught a little of the Council meeting rerun. Ladies and Gents, it was Ray Lyman at his very best.

Apparently it must have been Ray who picked the short straw and got to ask the infamous question: Miss Fanucci, I see where your house on Colfax Avenue is for sale. Where you livin dese days? Da house is abandoned.

This brought on a Fanucci/Lyman debate of epic proportions. After her insipid giggle, she said it wasn't abandoned, he said it was and she said it wasn't and he said it was and she asked him if he was stalking her and he said he wasn't - you get the picture. So much so that they blackened the screen and sound until Mrs. Hubbard came up to bat. Even Miss Clairol made a feeble attempt to change the subject, but to no avail.

I didn't see the original broadcast, but this back and forth must have been a beaut, because at some point, I heard Sherri say something to the effect that she "wanted those pictures off his camera".

After Mrs. Hubbard finished her schpeal, she made some sort of apology to council for comments she made to Ray. Hmmm, wonder what that could have been...

Jees -- where's NADB with her minutes when you need her??

NADB has abandoned her little DD friends ... she has not been around in months ... I personally don't care where she is she was the cut and paste queen ... however her minutes did come in handy once in a while.

Did you notice that the DD'er don't wonder where she is ... how she is doing anymore ...

I have to say this that 2 of our members have not posted in a while ... Art Gordon and Paul ... and I hope all is well with them and that they are enjoying the summer with their families ... hopefully they will return to grace us with their wit soon!

Maybe NADB never left, but rather is busy with "other" things, and therefore doesn't have time to transcribe the meetings.
