2,000 Dead Americans in Iraq -- Lewes rejoice

Okay, so 2,000 Americans have died in Iraq, Cindy Sheehan says she'll chain herself to the Whitehouse fence, 53% of Americans now feel the decision for war in Iraq was wrong
(http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp)
and the peaceniks in Lewes will most likely be singing a dirge of praise to combat Toby Keith from the opposite side this weekend.... and the big picture is still being ignored. Are we simply at war with Iraq or in a war against radical Islam? Bush says the latter. The liberal media skews the polls by skewing the questions. I was watching television tonight, and it featured a debate between two radio talk show hosts -- one white conservative from San Fransicko, and one black liberal from Chicago -- The tv moderator asked them, now that this poll is out, how do your listeners feel about the war? The Chicago Bull could only spout off "we went to war under the guise of WMD's" -- whereas the San Fransicko could only say the old 9/11 speil... I wish that someone would just tell the truth. We need to fight Radical Islam -- Iraq, America, wherever... and here's why:

I voted for "The liberal Schools and Colleges" --

Wesley college is promoting, tomorrow, a prominent anti-war, liberal speaker to come to campus as a college sponsered event -- encouraging students to attend. In a letter addressed to the college Dept. of Ed's Dr. Cooper, the delaware federation of college republicans questions their motives:

October 24, 2005
Dear Dr. Cooper,

On October 20 you circulated an email message through the campus announcing the visit of Colonel Ann Wright to Wesley on Wednesday October 26. The email notes that this visit is sponsored by the Department of Education. As this appears to be a visit of a political nature, several concerns have been raised among the Executive Board of the Student Government Association. Please respond to the following questions at your earliest convenience.

1. In what way does Colonel Wright’s visit further the mission of the Department of Education at Wesley College?

2. Does Colonel Wright require a speaker’s fee and if so, is this fee coming from the Department’s budget? If not, who is paying the fee?

3. If the Department is sponsoring Colonel Wright’s visit, will the Department also be sponsoring a speaker of an opposing view during the Fall 2005 semester?

Thank you in advance for your cooperation and prompt response.

Sincerely,
Robin Smith, President

In my own school, it was a constant battle for the democratic vote of my classmates. One instructor even held a seat in DE politics, often railing, in the midst of a lesson, on the Delaware and National Republican party. And without a voice from the right, often won over the minds of my classmates. Very persuasive, he was. Also, a personal friend of Minn, he was.

If a similar poll was made for SouthernDelaware, what would be the choices?

Nathan Hayward?
Gov. Minner?
WGMD Radio?
Liberal Colleges and Schools?
Myspace.com?
Nazi's?
Immigrants?
Sussex County Council?
The News Journal?
The media bias?
The Positive Growth Alliance?
Over Development?
Gays?

You tell me.. and cast your vote.

The feminization of Men continues

Women are sent such a mixed message in the media these days. The Liberal media teaches women a that they should be more like men. "Be more ballsy" "Be more aggressive" "Have more attitude" "You don't need a man to be happy" -- Yet, men are supposed to do the opposite. As a man, if you get angry about something.. And God forbid, yell about it.. you're told that you need anger management counseling. People have become cowards that need to be coddled and treated with an overdose of prozack -- all moods should be evened out. there should be no highs and lows. Everything should be 'easy does it' -- let me ask you, friends, does that make for an interesting life? Everyone immediately shuts off their mental facilities they hear someone raise their voice, they cower in the corner and revert to their kindergarten philosophy that 'Anger is bad' -- Our enemies are angry and backstabbing -- people lie to us -- the world is full of hate, but, it's all glossed over by a faux sincerity. Everyone is afraid of conflict, yet, they lie, cheat and steal behind your back. They covet your property, your girlfriend and your position. They undermine you at every turn. Your enemies are just out for themselves and that makes me angry. I yell all the time. I'm not an angry person, however. I am passionate though. I deal with my aggression by raising my voice. However, as a result, I have to deal with the label of being angry. I recently read a journal article that said that women are told to 'stand up to their man' -- and maybe rightfully so.. there's a lot of woman abuse in the world and women have been treated unfairly in the past. However, the journal article continued, a man is simply supposed to sit down and be understanding when a woman yells, screams, cries and hits him. The minute he raises his voice, the police are called. A Yale study shows that showed that 1 in 4 Americans feel at least somewhat angry at work -- they are then told that the best way to deal with this anger is by "venting" -- by "getting it out" -- People, who are inherently weak, are afraid of anger and conflict. They can't stand to hear it, because it makes them quiver to their very soul. "You're not being a good Christian" --- "Turn the other cheek" -- I don't advocate violence... I don't advocate fisticuffs of any kind... But, I'm always up for a rousing screaming match. I listen to Michael Savage. Savage says that the feminization of men is an agenda of the Liberals. He says that they want to sedate men and sedate the world. Peace, Love and Pot Smoking Atari players. I'm not sure what the agenda of that is, other than to create a weaker sex -- yet, woman are constantly told to undermine their cheating lovers. Men are bad because masculinity is bad. Women are constantly told how to sneak around on their spouse and they're constantly told how to go for the sexiest metro around. No substance. A nation of lesbians. Women for Women, or Women for Feminized Men, or Feminized Homosexuals for More Feminized Homosexuals. Yet, somehow, women still go for the macho abuser. Or maybe that's just the story they've been telling me. I just want everyone to be themselves without fear of being labeled by a professor or doctor or busy old woman. They say that a new sexual revolution is going on, but, it's a backwards one. One of a nation of Playboy bunnies. I don't mind a strong woman who doesn't mind a strong man. It's two sides of a fence... Playboy bunnies vs. Career Gals. While us men are simply being told to tone it down a notch. Don't be passionate, Don't be angry -- just be women. Do your hair, dress elegantly and god, oh god, never show a genuine male emotion... "It's okay to cry guys" -- Yet, I've never known a woman that doesn't recoil at a weeping male. I'm generally happy, but, not happy with the world. It's full of spineless self serving conflict coward. And it does make me want to yell at the hypocrisy of it all.

final thought on myspace

The Cape Gazette picked up the WGMD story on myspace.com --, I'd hoped to see some news outlet deliver the goods -- to lend credence to the fact that it is not just Gaffney and Crew making a big deal out of nothing. Personally, I hope to see some of these kids be made an example out of... After a little poking around, You can see that some of these kids, especially the Nazi guy, had criminal records. In fact, two Milton teens were just arrested on b & e charges, and the theft of firearms. Upon poking around on some of their sites -- a lot of them have been changed to reflect a cleaner lifestyle, virtually turning myspace into a house of lies. Well, the behavior hasn't stopped, and the damage has been done. Arrest these fools on Conspiracy and Terroristic Threats. That may sound a little harsh, but, I don't mind being unforgiving when it comes the stupidity of youth. Maybe it's because I was a particularly bright kid, never to be found smoking pot at the skate ramps. I applaud Mr. Gaffney in his actions and wish all the best to he and his family. And now you know.... The rest of the story.

WGMD radio host receives threats from students
By Jim Westhoff
Cape Gazette staff

After discussing student web pages on his morning radio show, a local radio host says he has received emailed threats from area high school students.

At least two emails to talk-show host Dan Gaffney show unidentified young people wearing bandannas and pointing guns.

Delaware State Police said its hi-tech crimes unit is investigating the alleged threats.
Gaffney, general manager and program manager at WGMD 92.7 FM, discussed myspace.com on his Oct. 20 morning show. On the air, he told listeners that Cape Henlopen High School students have posted personal web pages that he finds alarming.

“Off the air, I happened to be reading the site and was concerned about a couple of the kids,” Gaffney said.

“They were talking about being depressed, that their life sucked and they had a gun. I emailed the school and said ‘I’m not a professional here, but this is something you might want to take a look at it.’

“The school took it seriously and looked into it. Then the school approached us to make public comment about it. That’s how it became public Thursday on my show.”

On Oct. 22-23, following the show, Gaffney said he received several emails from students who were upset by his comments.

One student sent a photo of himself wearing sunglasses, a bandanna over his face, pointing gun at the camera, with a caption that reads, “Hey Gaffney, Screw You.”

Another photo has a student also wearing a bandanna and holding what appears to be a small submachine gun.

On their websites, the students have profiles identifying them as students at Cape Henlopen High School.

“Those are two of several,” Gaffney said.

Cpl. Jeff Oldham, state police spokesman, said the photos may result in felony charges. “[Gaffney] could classify as a victim of terroristic threatening and that is also being looked into,” he said. “Arrests could be made.”

Another student, a 17-year-old girl from Lewes, has an online journal that rails against Gaffney. “I dunno about you guys, but I think this is f***in nuts, and somebody needs to shut him up,” the journal reads.

School board Vice President Gary Wray said the school has taken swift action in response to the websites.

“Superintendent George Stone sent a letter to the parents asking parents to monitor the websites,” Wray said. “He listed the websites in his letter. It will go out to every high school and middle school parent.”

While the school is working to make sure the students are safe, this is a matter that should be addressed at home, Wray said. “The parents have to show some initiative here too,” he said. “These are their kids. At the school, there is only so much we can do.”

High School Principal Ed Waples said the web sites are a serious matter.

“We investigated the situation and looked into it to ensure that things were safe, and that the students are not in any danger, or that they are not a danger to anyone else.”

Because of student confidentiality concerns, Waples could not say what action, if any, was taken against the individual students. “I can say that we’ve taken the necessary steps to ensure the safety of students and staff at Cape Henlopen High School,” Waples said.

Superintendent George Stone said he is concerned for the safety of the kids on these websites. “After talking with law enforcement, we understand that a lot of convicted sex offenders frequent these sites,” he said.

“So the kids may be communicating with people they don’t even know. They can be putting themselves in dangerous situations. They might think they are just communicating with their friends on some kind of private network, but that is simply not the case with anything on the internet.”

Stone said the letter is meant to make parents more aware of what their children are doing online. “We just want parents to be involved, and be able to check for themselves and be sure they are aware of what their kids are doing,” Stone said.

“’Myspace’ is supposed to be like an online journal,” said Molly Lingo, the Student Government Association president. “People are saying it’s a way to meet people, but I don’t have one because I think it’s a little shady. I don’t think you should put your pictures and personal information all
over the internet.”

She said some students are angry at Gaffney because they feel he has intruded on their privacy.
“I guess they think that someone is trying to revoke their freedom. They’re just throwing a fit,” she said.

Lingo said some parents need to take drastic steps. “I think they should take away their internet privileges if they are going to abuse it by going on myspace.”

To view the student websites, go to www.myspace.com, click on the search icon and do a classmate search, listing Cape Henlopen High school and current students. At press time, there were about 183 student web pages on myspace.com.

The vast majority of the sites appear innocuous, listing hobbies as riding four wheelers, or going to football games.

Dickie Makes the Big Time

While taking my daily jaunt to the paper mill, and while wzbh rocked a commercial break, i tuned my portable radio to the Gaffney Mourning Show to get my daily dose of local kid bashing. That and my talkerspaniel's barrel of brandy keep the blood running warm, especially on a day like to day when the coast line took a pounding from Wilma. I was quite surprised to hear the Messiah of Delmarva mention our humble blog on the air. Knew if dickie ranted long enough, he'd get some bleedia attention.

Thanks for the mention, Gregsy.

Smalltown discovers the Internet

Sheesh Gaffney, Open your eyes,.. I listened to a portion of your broad-clash this morning.... Your small town listeners don't know the difference between the Internet and a toaster. "I'm shocked mr. gaffney! Little Graham promised us he'd be a good boy. Sorry Andy, your son, Huck Finn, is out cruisin' for a racist boozin' and slipping darling Sally a Mickey Mantle. "I can't believe it, my confederate flag shirt is chaffing me."

Press Released received from WGMD Radio...

“Blatant operating racists, wanton sexual activity, alcohol and drug use... This is about more than just one kid,“ said Dan Gaffney, host of WGMD Radio’s Dan Gaffney Morning Show.

--editor's comment: calm down tiger.. what a sensational broadcast

During his Thursday, Oct. 20 broadcast, Gaffney alerted local parents of the troubling social trends, disturbing actions and hostile posts of local high school students on Internet based blogs.

Gaffney exposed Web sites, such as Myspace.com and Xanga.com, as world accessible outlets used by local teens to express hate, racism, profanity, self-loathing, alarming violent ambitions and explicit sexual exploits.

“I’m not so naïve to think that teenagers have never done anything wrong or engaged in risky behavior, but what’s mind numbing to me is the blatant publication of it. What does that kind of narcissistic behavior say? You’re going to break the law and then tell the world about it? Talk about a lost generation,“ Gaffney said.

In a letter e-mailed to the principal and superintendent of Cape Henlopen High School in Lewes, Gaffney detailed one student’s online profile that concerned a possible gun threat to the school and it’s students.

“When I read a kid writing how his life sucks and he’s holding a gun and says he want to quit life, I am concerned,” Gaffney said.

Janine Hanwell of Cape Henlopen’s Facilities Task Force said, “As soon as we were aware of that, we took immediate action. The administration acted quickly to identify who the student was and make sure there were no safety risks to the school.”

However, the scope of the issue reaches further than one troubled student.

During the following days broadcast, Gaffney fielded a myriad of phone calls from concerned Sussex County parents.

“Oh God,” said one local mother after accessing her son’s online blog. “It was mortifying. One kid was taking pictures of himself setting fires at his grandma’s house. And the things that he was saying were the most disgusting things. I don’t know what they are thinking. It was insane.”

editor's comment: The Melodrama Continues

In addition to the shocked response by local parents, Gaffney also heard from outraged students who cited Gaffney’s broadcast as an invasion of their personal privacy.

"Surprising are the false feelings of anonymity and privacy these students believe they have," said Dan Gaffney Morning Show Producer Jared Morris.

--editor's comment: "Suprising are..?" Thanks for your comment Yoda. Go back to Del Tech.

“These kids are acting like we’ve blown the door off their secret club house,” Morris said. “Maybe they don’t realize what they’re publishing is up for the entire world to see.”

After viewing the Web sites, Rep. Pete Schwartzkopf stressed the need for parents to be involved in their children’s Internet activities and for corrective action to be taken by parents.

“I urge parents to go on these Web sites, urge them to look up their kids and be involved and understand what their kids are doing,” Schwartzkopf said.

He said he sees these Internet activities as warning signs that parents should heed.

“Some of these kids, like the guy that’s talking about how he doesn’t like his life, that’s a cry for help.” Schwartzkopf said. “He is posting something on a Web site that anyone in the world can see, with his picture, he might as well just put his name and address, this kid is asking for help, he’s a troubled kid.”

--editor's comment: Right On, Schwartzy

Dale Thaxton of Ameritechnologies, a local computer support firm, echoed similar sentiments. He said parents need to be aware of their children’s Internet use.

“I’m sure there are parents out there that really don’t have a clue about how to get on these sites or how to set parental controls, but, these kids nowadays are so fluent in the Internet,“ he said.

DSU -- My Cholera of Choice

After a year long investigation, it has been found that a "now former" Delaware Stale University tenured facutly member is guilty of academic fraud in altering appox 40 students grades. According to the News Germ-al, the cholerage is now in danger of facing hard-ships in finding "top-notch" students. Yet, interest in enrollment to DSU by non-minorities is mainly attractive only when seeking hefty financial aid... I'm not sor sure they've ever really had the creme de la creme of academia.

Excerpt from an e-mail sent to Dales by a current DSU student:

To add one more nail into the coffin that has become my flirtatious bout with academia: alteration. Well, according to one of my professors, it was widespread, and he offered a testimonial to it happening right under his nose. Not just with basketball players. Pragmatic, yes they are. He doesn't seem to think it will affect the University, in general (outside the realm of NCAA standing, but who fucking cares about that anyhow). I can imagine the media has probably had a field day smearing the good name and reputation (did it ever have a good one to begin with?) of my Alma Mater. I know not, my good friend. Oh yes, didn't you love the fact that the self-exposed altercator was the head of the Communication Department?
-----------------------------------
-----------------------------------
Grade fixing at schools is fairly common, however, much like a low flying aircraft shadowing a tractor trailor, it usually goes under the radar. At my own college it was farley common -- at a time when enrollment and successful completion in your department is at the top of the list of the hierarchy at schools -- many instructors artificially inflate the grade of the entire class just to boost the scores of those two flailing students - often minorities or those receiving a financial bandaid -- who simply must pass -- If you want your record to look impressive or if, in your bleeding heart, you don't want that student to lose his/her financial HIV. Not a Sermon, Just a Trough. -- Dales

This Guy Loves Hookers

Name: John B. Sorowice Charge: Patronizing a Prostitute Date of Offense: 07/31/2004 Date of Conviction: 08/16/2004 Community Affected: River Road Park

In the great tradition of the Delaware Wanted Person Review and the Sex Offender Registry, The NCC Police have now started uploading images of those convicted of prostitution offenses on their Web site: http://www.co.new-castle.de.us/police/nccpolice/psu/webpage10.asp

"The following persons have been arrested by the New Castle County Police for PROSTITUTION RELATED OFFENSES and been convicted in Delaware courts. Please be aware, that in some cases, it can take more than 12 months for a case to be processed from arrest to conviction."

It's no secret that New Castle is a hot bed for heroin faced prostitues soliciting every poor john and would be john that stops at the red light at the 13/40 split. Forget classmates.com, I regularly check the registry to seek out any girls who I may have known who attended the Colonial School District with yours truly. Word has it that a few, now augmented, former Colonial students now regularly dance [er, lap] at Wilmington's prestigeous stripclub, Haks (named for former professional wrestler and former owner Hardcore "Sandman" Hak.) You know if I'd of known in High School all I would have had to do was show these girls my checkbook, I would've been a lot less lonely. Still haven't seen any appear on the registry though.

I've got my fingers crossed regarding the Ogletown brothal bust. More than 20 people were arrested at this Harmony Rd. house of ill repute. All my years in the Northern reaches of the first state, I was only propositioned by horrible gangly prostitutes. And boy were there a lot of them.

MBNAs Sweet Severance

Okay,

Word has it that the buyout, however, has not been offered to upper middle management and many many others -- including those in the IT division -- that being said, the fable that the MBNA sale will not cause jobloss in the first state is an utter farse. Hence -- The perils of the banking industry -- The stronghold of Northern Delaware's economic base. Not built on a solid foundation after all. And the sad part, it will all happen again and again -- as it does in the endless cycle of bank takeovers. From Delaware Trust, to Corestates, to First Union to Wachovia -- MBNAs employees are just the latest suckers to sup upon the lies of the banking lollypop. Besides, everyone knows that the media is where the money and security really is.


WILMINGTON, DEL. (Oct 8): MBNA employees who are not offered jobs with the Bank of America now know terms of a new severance package.

The credit card company has been the focus of a $35 billion takeover by Bank of America, of Charlotte, N.C. If approved by stockbrokers and regulatory agencies, the buyout is expected to be finalized by Jan. 2, 2006.

At that time -- and following restructuring -- some 6,000 employees of both companies are likely to become unemployed, according to estimates offered by both Bank of America and MBNA.

Now, according to the Delaware News Journal, MBNA employees -- from hourly employees to middle and upper management -- know the severance range that will be given anyone not offered a comparable position with Bank of America.

MBNA also operates call centers in Delaware, New Jersey, Georgia, Ohio, Canada, Ireland, England and Spain.

Mmmmm Scarlett Johannson

Sorry Sonny, Arthur Dales just voted Scarlett Johannson as the sexiest person alive. Sorry Minn. I'd take you out to dinner if you were a little thinner. But, Like the polka goes. I don't want her, you can have her, she's too fat for me. Or maybe it's the way that she only blossoms towards the North. I would've just made this a bloody comment to the last post, but, It wouldn't let me post this amazing image of my babydoll. Dunn, you can have Jess -- I'm transfixed on the girl above. Newsworthy? Nope. Get out of Hollywood and into my bed.
