News from 2013: Pawlowski asks Obama for 40,000 troops?

    We are back from the Inlaws! I learned a big lesson this year, take your flight home on the Friday after Thanksgiving! It was on time, and we made all our connections. I just don't understand how it is cheaper to fly from Chicago to Philadelphia through Atlanta than direct.

   I hooked my computer up to my Wife's crystal ball, and this is sort of what I got off the associated Press Wire.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama is nearing a decision to add tens of thousands more forces to Afghanistan, Allentown, though likely not quite the 40,000 sought by the mayor there, as Pentagon planners work to ready bases and provide equipment the troops would need in a country  city with scant resources.



The White House emphasized Monday that the president hasn’t made a decision yet about troop levels or other aspects of the revised U.S. strategy in Afghanistan. Allentown


Administration officials told The Associated Press on Monday the deployment would most likely begin in January 2014 with a mission to stiffen the defence of 10 key cities neighborhoods and towns.blocks. An Army brigade that had been training for deployment to Iraq  Bolivia that month may be the vanguard. The brigade, based at Fort Drum in upstate New York, has been told it will not go to Iraq Bolivia as planned but has been given no new mission yet.


White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said the president would meet again on Wednesday with key members of his domestic policy and military team but was unlikely to announce final plans for Afghanistan Allentown until late this month, when he returns from an extended diplomatic trip to Asia. Texas


Gibbs said the Pentagon is “working on additional recommendations” to present to Obama and that Obama has made no decision on troop numbers, or even on what the ratio should be between combat troops and trainers.


Military officials said Obama will have choices that include a phased addition of up to 40,000 troops over some six months or more next year, based on security conditions and the decisions of his French allies.

Mayor for lofe Pawlowski welcomed the news, and said he hoped that the President would approve the use of Special forces black ops teams to hunt down and bring the known insurrectionists in the city to justice.
 
   "Our police force, while up to a full strength of 189 officers, has been unable to track down Scott Armstrong, the secretive "third Baseman" or other rabble rousers like that damned Molovinsky. The addition of 40,000 troops provided by the President will allow us to crush the dissent and ensure that Allentown remains a Democratic Party stronghold." The Mayor also added:  "We hope to have an agreement with South Whitehall Township very soon that will allow us to cross the border and attack them in their base of operations."

   Come 2013, don't say I didn't tell you so!

   I know Homey the Clown was Hopeless, but Krusty can't tell 79 million from 72 million. Can you imagine Pawlowski with military forces at his disposal? General Krusty the Klown!

Could the Lights in the Parkway Nightmare be ending?

Man, I am working really hard this week, getting ready for Turkey Day next week, so I haven't been diligent (another big word!) in reading the blogs.
   After dinner I was catching on up with them all, and while reading Lehigh Valley Ramblings I learned that at Tuesday nights' City Council meeting Councilman Pete Schweyer (Pictured at left with my so-so state representative) had suggested that the City end the Yuletide crap in the park.

HOO-FUCKIN-RAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a fuckin' boondoggle that clusterfuck in the park is! They ruin Little Lehigh in the Winter with that crap! I hope they do this, and bag all that light crap!

Pete Schweyer, you are my hero! Now do something about your boss, will ya? She ain't that bright either.

Mayor Pawlowski and his Crazy Clown Team

Think Mayor Pawlowski in the middle, with his Blogger Crazy team flanking him.

For whatever reason, my neighbors here in Allentown reelected Ed Pawlowski as mayor on November third. Hey, majority rules, I have to live with it, at least until I hit the lottery in UK or Ireland, or Swaziland, right?

What's pissing me off now is all the trash talking that is being done, and was done, and is still coming from people who support him. And two of these people (Bill and Angie Villa) are doing it while claiming it is their right of free speech. These two people are holding themselves up as some kind of pillars of virtue. Like they, and only they, have a right to speak.
They are two of the most vocal supporters of our Mayor on the Internet, and in the Blog world in particular. They repeatedly post a picture of Angie Villa with the mayor, to show how much they are in favor with the Mayor.
It is only a photograph, but the way they use it, it conveys that they have the full support of the Mayor in their actions. I want you to think about what the Villas are doing on blogs, and decide for yourselves if what these CLOWNS are doing is so sanctimonious. I want people to decide if they think these two blog clowns are doing the Mayor Clown's bidding.
For starters:

Posting THOUSANDS of Comments on every local blog, mostly off topic, condemning a Valley resident (Blogger Bernie O'Hare) for a mistake he made almost 25 years ago. It has nothing to do with the death of the Villa's daughter, I think it has everything to do with O'Hare's criticism of Mayor Pawlowski on his blog. They keep asserting he hasn't been rehabilitated. If anybody needs rehabilitation, I think those two should try it. I can't read a single local blog that hasn't had to go to some kind of blocking to stop them. That is rude that they do that.

Then there is the Hammering and slamming of a sitting City Councilman (Michael Donovan) for standing up to their hate attacks. They even mocked him over his posting about a daughter of his who died. (As if they are the only people allowed to grieve for a daughter who died young?) I think, again, that it is all about trashing Donovan because he stands up to the mayor, and I think they do it on the mayor's behalf. They swear they have the power to keep him from being reelected. I hope not.

They also regularly engage in Belittling and mocking a community activist (Mike Molovinsky) who stands up for what he believes in. He is another guy who questions what the Mayor is doing, and so is another target of the Villas nasty sniping and misrepresentation.

And then there are my Army Veteran friends, like Chris Casey and The Volvo driving Soccer Mom. The Villas accuse them of unsubstantiated crimes like "Viewing their blog" and "disagreeing with them. They posted photos that portrayed Chris and Carrie as humongous fat people, to try and provoke them. I got news for the Villas, all it did was make us all laugh.
All those pictures and slams the Villas posted did was show just what petty and small minded morons they are. And Damn, what is the point of the blog if they don't want people reading it?

Maybe They don't want the wrong people, you know, people who don't agree with them, to read their blog, is that what it is? That would make sense!

The Villas are not acting like very nice people. I could list other targets of their hatred, like a Lynn Township attorney Dave Najarian, Allentown Activist Alfonso Todd, who Villa labeled an "uncle Tom" and even our District Attorney Jim Martin, who has been the target of Villas wrath because he didn't take the drunk driver who was responsible for the death of Sheena Villa and summarily execute him in public.

Chris Casey told me the reason he won't help the Villas in their crusade is because Bill Villa does not want justice, he wants vengeance. I read their blog, and I saw the ten million word litany of hate directed against individuals employed at the daily paper, and if I were an editor or reporter at the paper, I wouldn't meet with somebody who posted my picture on the Internet and called me a liar either.

I almost forgot, they even trashed a young man studying to be a priest because he defended some of these people, and made fun of his religious faith, they still post his picture and label him a "cuckoo cleric." But I bet the Bill and Angie Villa go batwhacky for me pointing out what they are doing. How dare I call them crazy! The right to trash people is theirs, and theirs alone! Only they can call people crap, don't do it to them, or they will go all "pity us, our daughter died" mode.

That is over with. The death of a loved one is no excuse to practice what Bill and Angie Villa are doing.

I think Mayor Pawlowski is using Bill Villa's thirst for vengeance as a weapon against his local political opponents. including the paper. I don't pretend to know all about Villa or the Mayor, or Jim Martin, or Bernie O'Hare, but I do know what I see in front of me. Every one of Bill Villa's targets have one thing in common, they all have challenged Ed Pawlowski in some way.

Mr. Mayor, I have a question, an excellent question as your blog pal and the person you gave an exclusive interview to would say.

ARE YOU ENCOURAGING THE ACTIONS OF BILL AND ANGIE VILLA AS THEY CYBER BULLY ALL YOUR PERCEIVED POLITICAL ENEMIES?

You seem to benefit from their Blog bullying. Mr. Mayor, and you have remained pretty quiet while they launch attack after attack that you benefit from.

Don't you think you owe it to the people you govern to stand up and condemn these attacks?
You have a degree from a bible college, right? Is this the kind of behavior they teach you to accept there? I would like to know what you would tell your two kids about what the Villas are doing Mr. Mayor, and how you would explain to them that you can say nothing while people are being intimidated by someone who hints they have your support.

I have the blog moderator's word that she will not edit a response from your office in any way, and post it exactly as you write it. We would like to hear from you Mr. Mayor. Please tell me that you do not support the actions of the Villas, because your silence while they attack your opposition on your behalf with lies and insults says you do.

Mayor McCheese Pawlowski needs to denounce his Crazy Team

I am amazed at the scope of what Mayor McCheese will allow his supporters to do. My case in point is the people who post a blog called Lehigh Valley Somebody. The whack job who runs its has all the other bloggers quakin'.
I could give a rats ass. Nutjobs don't know me from Adam, so I got nuthin' to fear.
These people think they are like real important in city politics. and that they can make or break political people in this town. That's like saying

Election Sucked

Okay, I haven't got all day, who

wants to guess whose pocket I had my hand in?

   I might as well have voted for Pip the freaking mouse yesterday. If we didn't have it so good that we can both walk to work and the market, I would move the hell out of Allentown tomorrow. I'm sure I could get a good price on the crib from a New Yakker.

  I think the cumulative IQ of the inner city dwellers averages about the level that water freezes solid. If the answer to everything, according to Author Douglas Adams is 42, then the average Allentonian is 10 points lower than that.

  How did 7800+ people walk into a voting booth and press the box next to Uncle Fester/Bozo/Krusty's name? I understand why anybody named Pawlowski did it, they are all mentally challenged, and math, if the city budget is any indication, isn't their strong suit. But what the hell about the rest of you?

   It wasn't like it was a pop quiz where you had to use the formula to figure out Cole Hamels ERA. All you had to do is understand that the mayor turned a few million dollars in debt into $60 million spread over decades, and that the city was $6 Mill in the hole last year, and another $10 million this year!

   How hard was that?! And we have to pay it people, that is OUR BILL! Yet you handout helpers voted to give him four more years! What, you want to see if he can get the debt up to a $Billion by then?!

   I'm really bummed, I am going to have to go to the circus to cheer me up. I hope the clowns are good. Now that we have elected Sideshow Bob Schlossberg and Clarabelle O'Connell to Council, maybe they will put out a set of bobbleheads for citizens to collect. I am so pissed. At least I get a few months without clowns coming to my door to ask for my vote.

  

Voodoo at the Voting Booth

   Rumor has it that Walter Felton is pulling out all the stops to defeat Ron Manescu for District Magisterial Justice. Reports are coming in that Voodoo dolls resembling Manescu are popping up all over Allentown in front of polling places. They are almost as numerous as Walter Felton's campaign signs. After a prankster set one of the dolls on fire, Manescu reported having unexplained "Hot Flashes."

   Watch 69 news for more on this at 11.

Uncle Fester's reelection as mayor is pretty much assured

  Mayor Fester Pawlowski is going to win. I have been watching the polls all morning, and voting in the West End Cemetery Ward has been very heavy. The dead have been rising all day and coming in to vote, almost all bearing "Reelect Ed! stickers on their rotting corpses.

   A few unexperienced poll workers were eaten in the first hours, but once the cart of hog brains was put in front of the church, the trouble stopped.  More reports later.
