Something is rotten in the state of Denmark (Anderson)

If you are following the news then you might have heard that there are questions about Anderson`s Police Chief and his practices.I believe that a full investigation by the ABI should be conducted on the matter.Whenever someone is put in a position as important as Police Chief then there should be a system of checks and balances for that individual.And I believe that an outside independent entity (such as the ABI) would be the appropriate bureau to do that investigation.Let`s hope that this matter is cleared up and the citizen`s of Anderson get a Police Chief they can truly get behind.

What example are you leaving our kids?

The other day I took my son to a UNA basketball game.While there we enjoyed the pre game warm up by both teams and my son even got a hug from Una(the mascot not the real thing).Well the game was about to start when the announcer asked everyone to stand for the National anthem.As they started I noticed something peculiar. Four men who were standing around us were being disrespectful to the anthem.Two refused to put their hands over their hearts and the other two refused to remove their caps.I pointed this out to my son and told him that you should always remove your cap and put your hand over your heart when the anthem is played.


Well my son decided he wanted to leave at half time so we got up and left (UNA was losing by a large margin).But on the way home we passed the Suntrust Building on Court St. and low and behold there was Old Glory perched atop the building.Sadly though our country`s flag,a flag that has stood for freedom and liberty through out the world was in tatters.


Folks please think about things like this.If you have a flag that is damaged please take it to a American Legion post or to the Boy Scouts.They will dispose of it properly.In fact the American Legion post in Florence has a flag drop off box just for this.And also if your are in a situation where the anthem is played please offer the appropriate response.Because there are young eyes who are watching what you are doing.What kind of example do you want to leave?

Hypocrisy

You know it`s a funny thing.A couple of weeks ago the editor of this paper railed against the city of Florence for not giving the Times Daily city e-mails about the purchase of the old Florence Country Club.Then when the city established a "Media Czar" the editor railed some more and even wrote a editorial parodying the situation.But now we find that the shoe is on the other foot.When posters criticize or ask for moderation they are treated the exact same way the paper was treated by the city of Florence.They are either told to take a hike or banned for daring to question their authority. Now I am a simple man but it seems to me that the editor and others of the paper (while they scream and rend their clothes about the city)Are in themselves wallowing in their hypocrisy


I would like to thank ReexKwonDo72 for this post he posted on the Times Daily Forum site.It seems that we cannot take this paper seriously if they will not practice what they preach.

More have Fallen

Well it seems that the Times Daily has struck another blow against free speech! For a paper that claims to be for the people. They really have shown that in all actuality they could care less about what the great unwashed(us) think.Well in their relentless pursuit to kill any free thought they have banned more of the free thinkers of the Times Daily.Here are the latest victims.

Original Bama
Yankeegramma
Autumn 1964
MeKirk
DixieChik



Yes folks this is a sad state of affairs at the Times Daily.One wonders if they really cared about their readers at all. As an aside let us know here at The Geddon Report if there are anymore that have been banned...No Henchbroads allowed (wink)

The Dissection of an ASSCLOWN

Webster defines an “ass” as: a stupid, obstinate, or perverse person, incompetent. Similarly, they define “clown” as being an ill-bred person, a fool, a person who habitually plays the buffoon. I have to say though my all time favorite definitions for ASSCLOWN come from the www.urbandictionary.com : Such as “one, who…is a skid mark in society’s collective underwear” as well as “an untalented schmuck”. One contributor to the Urban Dictionary’s astounding 34 definitions of ASSCLOWN truly hit close to hometown (newspaper forum) when he referenced an ASSCLOWN as “a troll who frequents chat rooms (forums) with the express intent to annoy the regulars with ilk, foul language and total disgust and rudeness”.
To give credit where it’s due the term ASSCLOWN was coined by WCW wrestler Chris Jericho. He often referred to no talent wrestlers as ASSCLOWNS. I would extend that “no talent” descriptor to include “lacks originality”. An ASSCLOWN is not capable of coming up with original thoughts, instead, they tend to steal or plagiarize a story or theme from someone or someones with true talent and humor.
The best way to handle an ASSCLOWN is to ignore them at all cost. They feed on attention like THE LEGENDARY HENCHBROAD feeds on men’s souls. (NOTE: Henchbroad IS defined in the Urban Dictionary as well. Swell site, check it out some time!)
Fear not, ASSCLOWNS as easy to spot. Just look for the person who is trying the hardest to be clever or funny, but is failing so miserably you “almost” want to feel sorry for them. DO NOT FEEL SORRY FOR THEM!!!
Other common names for an ASSCLOWN include (but are not limited to): Asshat, Idgit, Moron, Douchbag, Troll, Henchbroad and/or Henchbitch.

You Have Been Warned!!!

Thank you to Geddon for allowing me to guest post on his informative and original blog.

Henchie has a definition!

Well it seems that our local legend is starting to gain some notoriety! In fact her name has even popped up on Urbandictionary with a little help from yours truly. I wonder if the Henchbroad has made her way onto any other media outlets?
