Persecuting City Staff

So, Dennis and Mike are after city records involving submission of projects for RZFBs. They shit all over the opening ceremonies, alienated lots of potential customers and now they want city employees by the short curlies.

What a couple of dumb fucks. Some booger-eating morons are calling it the return of Mitch Management. [...]

Cocktail Party Racism

I don’t have Ed Cone‘s problems. I don’t frequent social events where I must rub bellies with the likes of Milt Kern, Randall Kaplan and Mike Weaver. Therefore, I don’t have to accommodate idiots like Tim on my blog to manufacture a veneer of racial harmony.

While all the focus is on getting Skip [...]

A Bankster's Dream

From Capitol Monitor:

Recovery Zone Facility Bonds are super-versions of the old industrial revenue bonds which allow certain private companies to issue tax exempt bonds with lower interest rates because investors don’t pay tax on the interest. However, the industrial revenue bonds are subject to the Alternative Minimum Tax, making them unattractive for many. Recovery Zone [...]

Alston Wins

Guilford County chairman of commissioners, Skip Alston, is not a fool. He has been associated with Urban Hotel Group from at least July. Bridget Chisholm clued him in to the fact back then that the recovery zone facility bonds were but a ruse, having no real value.

Skip’s had his eye on opening the [...]

Orange Lake

I’ve not seen our Wyndham account profile, but I’m betting it’s not pretty. Such as things are we used up some disappearing points at Holiday Inn’s South Beach Resort, which as you might expect, is not in South Beach at all, but Myrtle Beach.

We got there Friday afternoon, checked in and made an appointment [...]

Direct Furniture Closes

I missed the 3/4 page ad in today’s N&R, but the Wife found it. We’d bought a mattress and box springs on sale this summer when the step mom was coming for a visit and I’d met the owner. He claimed to have three stores and was buying upholstered goods locally.

I visited the [...]

We Suck

From the Triad Biz Journal:

Greensboro took one of the largest tumbles of any metro area on a Portfolio.com/Bizjournals.com annual ranking of the best places to launch a new business.

The city ranked No. 29 in 2009 but fell to No. 89 on the 2010 list. A 5.7 percent decline in private-sector employment from 2004-09 dragged down [...]

The International Civil Rights Center & Museum

It has come to my attention a game is afoot to cast a shadow on next week’s opening festivities by questioning Skip Alston‘s ownership role in the facility. I have been hard on Skip and other leaders of our community over the Elm Street Center deal. However for me, that’s as far as [...]

The Deal From Hell

Triad Watch has the study indicating the new hotel ain’t a great idea. This comes on the heels of Randall Kaplan‘s impassioned appeal to council yesterday afternoon (1:56:00). I have watched it and learned that one of the investors is his mother.

Kaplan had all the participants in this farce present, for the good [...]

Smothered Chicken

A terrible set of consequences has unfolded. I fell in love with thick cut bacon while attempting to cook the deer shoulder. I had some bacon grease sitting on the stove this evening. Food Lion had chicken tenders on special. I dredged them in whole wheat flour and fried them in [...]
