I know that this makes me look like a chump , but I've got to back out. I really want to be there, but other obligations will prohibit me from being able to attend. I am sorry, and I wish all the best to the Dyes civil disobedience! | ||

Soulhawk, You're not the only chump, then. I was going to be late anyways, but now may miss it entirely. A client/friend needs me to work on his projector and tonight is the only one that fits until late next week. Unless this is a PAID gig on the diamond...heh...I've got to get to him so I can pay some bills. He's only a few miles from my Lathrup Village guy that I need to be at by two o'clock, and it would be foolishness to drive all the way down in rush hour, then rush afterwards to get back up to him afterward. I ain't got that gas to waste...and it would give Murphy too much chance to mess me up. Will check in later, but as of now I'm out, too. One less outfielder... | ||

Mr. Stamper's letter implies that Maroun and the BC are generous philanthropists. I'd like to be fair and, if Maroun is generous with his $1.5 billion to the City, I'll give him credit. Does anyone know (and be honest) what Maroun and/or the bridge company have done for the City - say, over the past ten years? We can list huge contributions by Roger Penske, who is worth the same amount, but I'm hard-pressed to think of anything to attribute to Maroun. | ||

Great thread. I am just now reading it and it's headed for the hall of fame. Two or three years back my son and a friend were photographing a couple of blocks away from the bridge along E. Jefferson and some of Manny's thugs illegally intimidated them and threatened them with arrest while they were on public property. They left not realizing it was BS. Moroun and his attempt to monopolize the border crossings needs to be stood up to and stopped. Congrats to all who took part. Windsor seems to be doing a better job, but they understand the issue more than on this side. Now that he has lost his biggest ally, who wanted to take the MCS off his hands to make it a police HQ, it will be interesting to see how this all plays out. A mayoral candidate who vows to slap blight violations on Moroun while pointing out his ties to the disgraced KK could make some good hay. | ||

Gnome- I am really sorry that I couldn't make it, but I started a new job on Monday and could not get off until after 6 so I apologize that I wasn't there. I hope that you got your message across! | ||

WDIV is covering this story right now Per WDIV report, Stamper has changed his story and is now saying that Archer gave the Bridge verbal permission to secure the bridge as "they see fit" (Message edited by yupislyr on October 01, 2008) | ||

Judging by Homer's picture, the pitcher was a little wild. Apparently he knocked the photographer on his heinie. | ||

Truly a great time..haven't played any ball in at least twenty years, and MAN, did it show.. I'd do it again in a heartbeat, ditto for Brandy..just don't put me in right field when Cub & his bro are at bat! Whatta pair of power hitters.. Great game, great cause, great people..really a fun time. | ||
Gnome Member Username: Gnome Post Number: 1954 Registered: 08-2007 |
ZRX DOUG, both you and Brandy were great and just staying on the field with Cub an BroCub is an accomplishment. I'm feeling the "fun" too. We recruited folks from the neighborhood that showed up and in general had a great time. The entire game was a success. We had fun, proved our point, got the news folks to put a spotlight on the problem, and met a few nice people. Except of Mr. Teatsorth. |
