That’s one Hell of a name for a group of folks who look a lot like the mob from Frankenstein. They followed one of the D.H. Griffin trucks to our house last night. I thought trick or treat had come early, so I gave them what candy we had and closed the door. They explained the second time and I let some of them in. The rest just milled about on what used to be the lawn like in Night of the Living Dead.
We gave them all water, good clear cold bottled water, and listened to their story. They’d been displaced by the diaspora known locally as the I-85 Bypass and living on the margins when Grandover built its golf facility. These good people had since been reduced to getting jobs at Wal Mart and Lowes and Bojangles and Cracker Barrel etc. And the resort’s use of water during the recent drought had drained their wells.
BTW, King Richard is parked down the street watching the wrong house. He looks stupid without his hat. Word is that Linda makes him wear the helmet around the house and particularly in the bedroom.
There’s also a photog squatting behind the hot tub. He doesn’t see George, our large feral grey. I’ll have to run him off before George tries to bring his dismembered carcass through the cat door. This is so much easier now that I’m on the N&R’s side. Those guys are real spooks. Not that I don’t have some experience, myself. The Wife, a consummate businesswoman, has had me doing black ops for years. In fact, a plus-size woman in GSO is probably more highly surveilled than a known terrorist.
I agreed times were hard and that awful things had been done to the angry mob. But, I reminded them all these matters were outside District 5 and in the county, whereas I resided in the protective bosom of the City. They understood. But none of them blogged.
There is little I can do but remind the citizens of District 5 that these are the villains who attempt to represent us.
Don’t become a horror movie. Vote for Sandy Carmany.
Well said. I’ve had many a fight with Sandy publicly and privately but Sandy has given me more help with my local gang issues than every other Council Member and the Mayor combined. And Sandy doesn’t even represent my district.
I’m sorry. I just broke my neck. Are you coming out for Sandy?
Warning: They’ll call you all kinds of names. Even worse than me.

I think we should have a meeting about this, after all, “Sandy” loves meetings as they look good on her resume. Sandy can tell us all about all the ills of Greensboro that she knew about 10 years ago but did little about, I guess those damn meetings got in the way. Make sure the meetin is held in a very tall building so we can all look out the window and watch Greensboro burn, then lets have another meeting!
I see your point. Tell me again how Wade’s gonna make that better. A novice may require more meetings. And why would GSO burn?
And why would GSO burn?
Simple……..Sandy fiddles (pun intended) with all her so very important, get nothing done meetings, and she with Mitch stand on the balconey blaming all the ills of Greensboro on the Christens.
My God BDJ, that’s stultifyingly stupid. Christians? My brain may explode before I can correlate your comment to any real life circumstance.
Your punishment is to read every word in the latest issue of The Rhino Times. Even the Scott Card stuff. Skip Yost – everybody does. And don’t worry about the Real Estate section. Oh, The Sound of the Beep is useless. And you can ignore anything written by that renowned yellow journalist, John Hammer. Also disregard any foolishness written by Willie Hammer. And you won’t be tested on the juvenile Trudy Wade ads.
I’d love to tell you to eschew that dried up sellout, Bledsoe, but I don’t think he’s in town.
Now that I think about it, forget the self indulgent Card crap, too.
Fec,
Honestly I think Sandy has made some mistakes the biggest being her undying support for Mitch Johnson but she’s the only person on city council including the Mayor, with balls enough to fight with me and for that she has my respect. Sandy may sometimes become my enemy but she won’t stab me in the back like so many on council are known to do. And Trudy is nothing more than a sellout to the Action Greensboro development-at-any-cost gang whose goal is to bulldoze every working class neighborhood in Greensboro so they can build more places where poor people can’t afford to live.
I’ll take that as an endorsement for Carmany. I know she’ll be pleased.
