In this particular thread Joey-I-love-to-think-about-mens-private-parts-Jerkoff has made 4 of the six comments under his screen name or his "other" persona. Can you say "crazy as Sibil"??
http://www.activeboard.com/forum.spark?forumID=65524&p=3&topicID=22811531


then of course in another thread we have this one

Now frankly I think this one is Edith rather than Joey-Jerkoff as she doesn't seem to feel the need to insert crude sexual comments into every other sentence. She also doesn't feel the need to speak in football metaphors.

http://www.activeboard.com/forum.spark?forumID=65524&p=3&topicID=11198877

Then here is another one definately Joey-Jerkoff notice the crude sexual reference once again. Geezzzzz do you think he could at least try to not say exactly the same kinds of things he says under his "true identity".?.........way to throw us off the trail Joey-Jerkoff....note the red highlighted word who exactly is "our"? Way to give yourself away jerkoff!

Judy is a pig that has to be ripped off the public tit. She has to be embarrassed like Shimkus. So be it. I get around, in business and in social circles. She's got no chance whatsoever of winning. People in professional communityloathe her.Totally. Best case scenario is that Mr.DiBileo runs against her. If not him, there's another gentleman well known in political circles who shall.

Either way,Mrs. Gatelli is serving herlast termas a public official in any capacity.

Our preference for mayor - Mr. Phillips.

Oh I think you are right that they are posting under all of these names ... I say that we compile a list of all of the different names that they (Joe and Joanne) are posting under ... what say you all ... this could be great fun ... and it won't really be all that hard.

And how about this Shadow guy ... you know they always say that the Shadow sent them another great cartoon or pic ... so now if the Shadow can create these on the computer ... why the hell isn't he capable of uploading them to the site himself ... he send them to Joanne and she posts them ... I think Joe is the Shadow ... or Joanne ... anyway it's just my opinion.

One of the biggest reasons why Joe Pilchesky doesn't want to release the IP addresses of his posters is because a careful examination of them will show that the same two come up time and time again (assuming that Joe & Edith have two computers).

Look, Pilchesky is the owner of DD, so if he wants to post under multiple names then why should we care? Then again, I think most of us here actually realize that Pilchesky posts under multiple names, but I doubt most of the DD posters do. No wonder Joe once referred to the posters on DD as "bottom feeders" (a comment overheard by two others, by the way): he thinks that they are, by and large, a bunch of morons who simply swallow anything and everything he serves them.

I don't really care ... anyone can post under multiple names ... even here ... but why ... it's so much work to try and remember which one of your personas said what ... and I personnaly would be so confused ... I would rather not do it.

Now the Kids across the hall think he actually has all of these posters ... they don't see it when he carries on a conversation with himself ...

And now totally off topic ... I was thinking about a certain DD poster today and would like to shout out a "Happy Holiday's" to Mrs. Moran ... better know as Granma ... I miss her posting!

Maybe Granma has been sticking to the scanner of late...that or maybe she finally had it with Comcast and got DirecTV. One thing is for damn sure...she's not posting under a different nickname. That's one person with a definite writing style.

What shall I correct? You've presented your evidence well.

"aaaotr" is an actual individual not involved with the Legion of Doom or Doherty Deceit. The person is educated, works behind the scenes for good government, and generally seems to be well-balanced and thoughtful.

JP, if you knew Tom like I know Tom.....................

I'll wait until he announces. If he does. There is a side of him that's cautious, but there is definitely a side to him that makes him an easy victim to a persuasive voice. Like that of Mayor Doherty.

Ohhhhhhh, we go wayyyyyyyyyy back Tom and me.

Mayor: Chris Doherty and Chris Phillips.

Council: Janet Evans, Gary DiBileo, Pat Rogan, Judy Gatelli, Joe DeAntona, Tom Charles, Jack Deleo, and Giovanni Piccolino.

Tax Collector: Marilyn Vitali-Flynn and Bill Courtright.

That's all I'm hearing at this point.

Chris Phillips for mayor ... now did you hear that on the streets or is it just somthing you read in a thread at DD?

That would certainly prove iteresting ... I do however have a problem with people running for one office and then serving a year when they begin the process of running for the next office taking away the focus of the office that they already have.

But that is just my opinion.

For me it would be Chris Doherty for Mayor ... I can't say who for council as I do not know enough about Tom Charles to rule him out ... I need more information on these candidates... what happened to young Dough Miller who already had a fundraiser for beoming a candidate for city council?

Tax Collector ... I would vote for Bill Courtright ...

I doubt that Phillips is going to run for anything in 2009, he hasnt even been on School Board for a year. I do like Mr. Phillips and i voted for him last year, I think he is going to wait a year or two and challenge Ken Smith for state rep.

I dont think that G. Piccolino will run this time eiether, a public PFA and DUI is not good for the pizza business.

1. Chris Phillips will have served two years in January 2010.

2. Ken Smith, barring a monster of a scandal (highly unlikely), will die in that legislative seat several decades from now. Dunmore residents born this year may not know any other state rep until they turn 40. Does Chris even live in the 112th?

That would certainly prove interesting ... I do however have a problem with people running for one office and then serving a year when they begin the process of running for the next office taking away the focus of the office that they already have.


3. Let's see if you still feel that way in 2010.

4. I forgot about Doug Miller. Ironic. Looks like Mr. Miller is falling off the radar quickly.

You didn't read what I wrote that his focus will not be on the office that he holds for a year ... because he is only in office for a year right now and will have to "begin the process" and concentrate on getting into the mayors office for a year ... so at the time he begins a campaign ... he will only have served one year in office.

I knew that Doug would fall off the radar as at such a young age I am not sure that the people are ready for him to hold office ...

Samuel ... as of this month Chris Phillips is in office for a year now.

Yes your are right, i forgot that School Board takes office in December and not January. Still i dont see why he would run for Mayor in 2009. Phillips will not be able to raise the money necessary to win a mayoral campaign against a well funded incumbent.

From what i hear Bolus is running Millers campaign. Bob Bolus cant even run a hot dog stand nevermind a political campaign for a underqualified candidate. Miller should save his money for 2011 or 2013.

I've heard the same thing. I believe Miller couldn't have anyone better than Bolus running his campaign. Miller is underqualified? What's Pat Rogan, Tom Charles, Sherri Fanucci, Giovanni Picolino, I could go on and on. Explain that to me? You don't make any sense whatsoever! This kid will get a seat mark my words. Though I forgot..your the experts, sorry

I never clain to be an expert, but i dont think that having a convicted felon run your first political campaign is a smart move.

Miller, like almost all first time candidates will likely loose. Even G W.B and B. Obama lost their first political campaigns. He may get a seat on council someday, but it wont be in 2009.

I am also far from an expert. I do however, like yourself, have an opinion. In my opinion he will not win, in yours he will, so at the end of day what does that amount to.....nothing! Neither of us have a clue how any election will actually turn out. We only know how we want it to turn out and that's ok. So relax we can both have our opinions and be A-OK!!

NewsAlert,

We ... none of us here are experts ... and as IHave has stated we have definite opinions ... and I think that we went throught how we feel about this and why we feel as we do in another thread ... please refer back to that.

I once told you that I feel young Mr. Miller will one day be a sitting member of council ... however I do not feel that he will be sitting in that seat this time around. He much to young in my opinion ....and a seat on the Jr. Council does not qualify him to now graduate to a seat on Council.

I will not be throwing my vote to Mr. Rogan either ... again for the same reasons ... his age ... and lack of life experience. How about if these two fine civic minded young men concentrate on school work ... which will be tough enough without adding the pressure of a political career.

As for the others ... I will not be voting Piccilino ... and I do not know enough about Charles to form an opinion yet ... I thought that Fanucci was not running ...

There is no need to get snotty with people because they do not support your candidate ... if you want to gain our votes for Mr. Miller sell him to us ... tell us his intentions ... it seems as though you are very close to this young man.

And might I add ... I don't think that Mr. Bolus pushing him into something that he is not yet ready for is a good thing.

This is simply my opinion ... and no I am no expert ... I wish Mr. Miller all the best!

Lus

Young Mr Miller will get a seat....if he wants one....in about 10 years, maybe. He's just not qualified for the job, even in a city where under-qualification for elected positions abound (wittness the bus driver helping to run the School District). In fact, if you want t talk about qualifications, I think Mr Piccolino is more qualified than the others being talked about here...at least he has some sound business experience.

As for Bill Courtright, while I don't particularly find him to be the a terrific member of council (he wants to be Anti-Doherty lite), I think his natural caution and business sense (he run's his own business, correct?) would serve him well as Tax Collector.

Finally, I'm thinking that Phillips, if he even runs for Mayor, will be another Gary DiBileo...nice guy, but that's about it. Say what you want about Chris Doherty, but he is a dogged campaigner...the guy is the James Brown of Scranton politics. Scrantonians also like to play it safe...remember that there is still a high percentage of elderly in this city...and Chris Doherty is a fairly safe bet. If you give me a choice between Chris Doherty and Chris Phillips, I'm going with Doherty, if only because I don't think Phillips has the experience to run something the size of Scranton. In some respects that will be a vote while holding my nose, as I don't think the Mayor has done a stellar job when it comes to managing the employees of Scranton.

I dont think Miller will lose because of his age, I think he will lose for two main reasons 1) It is his first time running for office and 2) Because it is his first time running it will be difficult for him to raise money.

I have no problem with voting for a young candidate if they are more mature than their age would suggest. I will most likely vote for Rogan dispite his age because he handles himself well and understands the issues. Rogan also seems willing to work with both sides unlike some of the more mature candidates.

"mature candidates"

That's a relative term. For example, Janet Evans has a nasty habit of

t a l k i n g

v e r y

s l o w l y


when she speaks, essentially treating everyone in the audience as if they were children that needed could only process information at the rate of a second grader. Is that very mature? I'd argue that it isn't. I'll also state for the record that Sherry Nealon Fanuci's insistence on engaging the Konsil Klowns in arguments in front of the camera isn't very mature either...they simply bait her and she obliges. If she were smart she's just nod and say nothing instead of allowing herself to be dragged down to their level.

As for young Mr Miller, as I've said before, he's never paid property taxes, never held a real, full-time-support-a-family job that required making difficult choices to make ends meet. That disqualifies him in my book, period. I don't know that much about Mr Rogan, but if I get even the slightest wiff that he's sucking up to Pilchesky and his ilk that will be it in my book.

Ok ... here is where Ag and I differ ... he does not like the bus driver sitting on the school board ... I however do ... I like having the bus driver who earns a regular salary ... who does a regular job ... who raised his children ... and sent them through the Scranton Public School System ... he knows more what it is like to be me ... than say the lawyers sitting on the School Board do ..

Now that is two differing opinions ... Ag is entitled to his ... and I mine ... we can still get along ... now this is something that wouldn't happen across the hall!

Ag if I were Pilchesky ,.. I would have banned you for not sharing my opinon ... LOL

You're just a big softee Lus! Maybe if you lost all your hair and got married to a potential felon you'd toughen up a bit.

For the record, I personally don't have anything against Mr Lesh. In fact, he was a good friend of my late father-in-law and is a very decent guy. However, I've always thought that School Board members should have some measure of qualifcation for the job.

If that's the case Ag ... then we have a lot of unqualfied people sitting on the board ... not just the bus driver. Think about it!

Others:

Brazill
Hartman
McGuigan
Jeffers

And that's just to name a few ... and I would also put Gilbride in that group as he is a worker's comp lawyer for the O'Malley/Langan firm ... so what qualifies him?

I'm not being defensive ... I'm just asking a question.

Fair enough question Lus, so I'll do my best to answer it...but I'm going to try not to engage in bashing any current SSD Board members, well other than what I've already said in this thread (and even then I think I've tried to be respectful).

If you were going to start a corporation selling, for example, fish, who would you want to be on your Board of Directors? You would want people that knew something about...

...fish
...business/finance/budgeting
...business law
...labor relations (as your fish mongers might be in a union)
...etc.

In other words, you would want the people who make the most senior decisions for your fish company to have unique talents that could be applied to the business of selling fish. If someone had, say, only experience growing asparagus (as noble a profession as that is), you would probably say "we don't need someone with asparagus growing experience, thank you very much".

And so it is, in my opinion, with School Boards, which are really the functional equivalent of a corporate board of directors.

The question I ask, relative to qualifications, is this: what unique skills or talents does that person have that he/she can bring to table as the Board makes the District's strategic decisions? This isn't necessarily a function of formal education, as I think someone with skills like (and regardless of post-secondary education)...

...labor-management negotiating experience
...experience running a business
...financial advisors (you don't need a degree to pass a FINRA exam)

...could be very important qualifications for a District Board, regardless of what they did after high school. That's in addition to people with some measure of formal education, like...

...lawyers (the District has thousands of laws it must abide by)
...educators (the District educates children afterall)
...business persons (someone with experience creating and managing a budget, for example)
...public policy experts (who understand how public bodies impact society)
...engineers (the District has buidlings it must maintain)
...logistics experts (the District moves around people and equipment all the time)

Again, the central question for me is this: what unique skils does this person bring to (in Scranton's case) running the largest public organization in Lackawanna County? SSD's budget is larger than the City of Scranton's and larger than any district in the region. Given that responsibility, shouldn't the people who make the highest-level decisions for the District have some measure of formal education or experience that they can draw upon to help make sound decisions?

What I don't consider to be a qualification for the Board is "having children in the District". There is nothing unique about that, and that fact brings nothing extra to the strategic decision-making table.

One last thought: What public company would ever have someone on their BofD who has, as their sole qualification, the fact that they won a popularity contest? This isn't about being a snob...give me someone with a high school diploma and real-world labor-management experience and I'd vote for them in a heartbeat.
