That is so far from the truth .... Scranton HS is bursting at the seams ... anyone with half a brain would know that if they ever drove by the place at the beginning or the end of a school day ... So many kids it's not funny.

My God, they really are functionally retarded over there. 

By the way, wasn't the closure of Washington Plaza supposedly at the hands of Lackawanna College, or the new Medical School or maybe even the Free Masons?  Having driven by there a few times, it looks strangely like it's being remodeled...as a housing project...for lower income residents.

Where is Darwin when you need him?

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

Ok here is a post from that same thread:

Printer Friendly I wouldn't be in a rush to over-value anyone on the school board.  They'd cut one another's throat in a heartbeat if he helped a friend or family member.  It's comprised of some pretty brain dead people.  Total the IQ for Bob Sheridan, Pat O'Malley and Bob Lesh and you still wouldn't break 100. I like Phillips right where he's at now. They won't know which hat he's wearing from month to month, but he still plays the game instead of playing it straight.

Sharp edges may think that these people are brain dead but apparenty at least in the cases of Lesh and O'Malley people believe in them because they keep re-electing them.  Sheridan I don't really know but people must think he's good as they put that check next to his name on the ballott.

Chris Phillips ... I have not decided what I feel about him ... but they seem to like him because he is playing a game ... well I am not much for game players ... I don't think that people should be held on a pedestal because they are playing a game.  What I think each and every school board member should do is to make well informed decisions ... and make the right decision that will benefit the children of Scranton first and then the taxpayers.  They should not be afraid to do what is right because it is not popular and they certainly should not make a game of it ... these decisions that they make should first and foremost put the needs of the children of this city first! Not Teachers, Not Aides, Not Clerks and Not Maintenance ... the CHILDREN!  Because if it were not for the children none of these people would be needed, including the school board!

another entry in this topic....  are you kidding me??  Really?? How bogus does this sound???  What a jackas$!  A one night stand?? He would be lucky if a girl would just stand next to  him..... JERK! lol lol lol

When I was in high school, I had a one-night stand with a teacher's daughter.  We kept it to ourselves, but the day came that I bragged about my delightful night with my closest friend, who then proceeded to hit me up for a quarter a day for the rest of the school year as payment for his silence. Back then, a quarter bought you lunch, believe it or not. He ate, I starved. I learned a good lesson at a young age about sharing a secret, which was, when two people know it, it's not a secret. Wolfe knows where at least some of the bodies are buried, so to speak. He's indispensable to the corrupt factions that run the District. This is where the Cawley, Burke, Colo/Sowinski, Bogart, Blumer factions get no respect from a seasoned thief like myself. They break into the proverbial vault (revenues) for illicit deeds, but can't keep the small players on a leash because they bragged too much. The mafia would have just whacked Wolfe if he asked for anything more than lunch money. 90K a year is heavy hush money. Fire his ass and call his bluff. Look at Eisele, tail between legs and curled up on his recliner and not a peep out of him. Eisele and Wolfe are both just sponging whores who can be pissed on at will and they'll do nothing about it, but Cawley, Burke and Colo don't have it in them to impose those housecleaning measures. If you're going to take charge, then do it with a firm hand or let someone else do it. I'm available at $200.00 an hour and I'll provide better results than that other sponging whore, Joe O'Brien, who won't admit it. Fight in the uniform you were born in, because dressing like an imposter will have consequences, like those being suffered at NP right now.

He's not representing himself as an attorney at the rate of $200/hour is he? Because according to "Da Lah an' Yous", that's against the law.
