I apologize again for being remiss in posting a new thread. Apparently it is do to my being a "bad businessman" a "racist" a "bigot" and "Adolf Hitler".
I wish to communicate the following to certain segments of this blog:
1) this blog was initially set up for the use of like minded individuals. Those being intelligent, pragmatists who wanted to better their community. It has been taken over by illiterate, ner-do-wells who spread their self hatred and inadequecies upon those who don't wish to hear it and are villified and otherwise disgusted.
2) The number one reason I have chosen to answer these assinine remarks: Lamar is a very insightful individual. He is entitled to his opinions as ufortunately are you. Lamar's physical condition does not belong any where on this blog. Neither does who is sleeping with whom. To those that have been injured by the phycologically stupid bloggers here, I apologize deeply as do the other intelligent individuals that read and post on Cenla Antics.
3) Mr. Gregg Aymond, Do not come onto this blog and attack everyone and not expect to be attacked yourself. Mr. Aymond has taken it upon himself to threaten a lawsuit against me, because someone has apparently accused him of misconduct. Is this not what he is accusing others of? Mr. Aymond, I am a private citizen and not subject to the constraints of an elected official. Challenge me sir, Please. Apparently you have done quite well in your profession and while sitting back in your luxurious office can spend as much of your time as you want enflaming everyone that you deem a threat to you. I do not have the time or money to fight you, but fight I will.
4) Mr. Geoffrey Clegg, I am not a racist, marxist, or a bigot. Nor do I teach this philosophy. Do you understand that statement.
5) I served as the Parish Chairperson for the Bush/Cheney Campaign. I did so because I believe in the political process. I did so because I was tired of seeing my country go to hell while others sat and bitched. Many people have thought that I was a Democrat due to my stance on certian issues. I served on two foundation boards while in New Orleans ... one was environmental the other served in a medical capacity to help the third worlds children. The point is I have served.
6) Mr. Aymond, perhaps I should let you sue me. That way when you suppoena the IP addresses we can all see, who the stupid, vile and repulsive are.
7) THIS BLOG IS HERE TO STAY...if you don't like it, don't read it ... it's not a hard concept to understand.
8) If you don't like the two party system we have and you only want your way ... LEAVE THE COUNTRY.
9) Get back to work and do something worthwhile ... for yourself, your family, your country, your state and YOUR COMMUNITY

Realize this in the United States of America anyone can sue anyone as long as they honestly believe they have been wronged.
If and when Aymond obtains the IP addresses I am sure we can find a lawyer that would be more than happy to file a law suit for each one of us. Individully it would not cost each one of us much but to defend himself Aymond would expend great sums of money.
Hate to give We Saw That credit for intelligent thinking but his posting relative to the new Alexandria Ordinance relative to abandoned automobniles is right on. It will only take one person to sue the City to have this dumb ass Ordnance revoked. A valid inspection sticker and license plate is not a prerequisite to owning a vehicle.
They are prerequisites to operating a vehicle on public roadways. I can buy an airplane, park it in my back yard and be perfectly legal. Flying it is another matter.
The only way the City can remove these vehicles is by the Judicial system declaring it so.
How many lawyers does Alexandria have on retainer?
that was the dumbest post i have ever read.
the 12:31 post not the 12:39
Yep, the city better not touch my yard ornaments, by God!!!!
I pray that Aymond comes after me. I won't answer him in court, I'll settle with him on his front doorstep.
Spanky, what you're proposing will take time. Let's just repeal it now, and get Dupree and Aymond to the sandbar...knives in hand!
Ahhhh Spanky??? Really, with all things considered, I'd rather have a waterslide....
All this is about is getting Judge Swent to fix the cost that Aymond will have to pay to separate the e-mails. Swent won't review them herself, she won't give them to Aymond, she won't do a damn thing but tell Aymond if he has to pay and how much.

On We Saw That, we can see the qactual order submitted, which presumably Judge Swent has set for a hearing on Febrary 5th. That order states
O R D E R
CONSIDERING THE FOREGOING MOTION AND PRAYER:
IT IS ORDERED, that the Petitioner, CITY OF PINEVILLE, appear and show cause, in the Rapides Parish District Courthouse, on the day of , 2007, at o'clock a.m., why this motion for an in camera inspection of the subject emails should not be conducted by this Court, and to produce at said hearing, its designated records custodian and computer network administrator, or similar position, in order to determine an efficient means by which to carry out such an inspection.
THUS ORDERED, on the day of , 2007, in chambers, in Alexandria, Louisiana.
HON F. RAE SWENT
JUDGE 9TH J.D.C.
Exactly where in that order does it mention anything about payment?
Ya'll forget this post??? It perfectly describes Aymond:
I'm not Aymond and you're all cowards for not telling me your name cause I'll sue anybody who says I'm short and fat because I'm really an agent for the CIA sent here to investigate public wrongdoings for the most corrupt ethics board in the country who cleared Edwin Edwards on 71 different charges during his years in public office so if you will come by my office where I can video tape you and record our conversations so I can doctor them later, I'll be able to get my old job back as atty for WW#3 so I can continue to pad the bills and make thousands of dollars off the public, and later bring ethics charges against myself because I failed to prove Roy Hebron hooked up an illegal water hose.
To this numbnut:
January 26, 2007 1:25:18 PM
Look stupid, this is the order submitted by Aymond on his motion for in camera inspection. EVERY motion before a judge usually has an order attached to it JUST IN CASE the judge agrees with the motion.
But, before the the judge signs the order, she HAS TO ALLOW THE MOTION TO BE HEARD, AND AGREE!
Dumbass....
Well, at least the previous poster signed his message . . . .
quint! you da man. hang tight!
I have just read Aymond’s response to Faircloth’s Town Talk letter.
Guess what sports fans...it turns out that Aymond, by his own pleadings, is a liar.
The copies of the entire case are available at the courthouse, and in those documents are two letters nobody is talking about because Aymond’s buddy, We Saw That just happened to omit them. They are exhibits "C" and "D" of the lawsuit. Seems like Aymond’s request for Dupree’s e-mails was received in the Pineville Mayor’s office on October 5, at 8:56 AM
According to the following from Title 44, the custodian of public records for Pineville has three days to respond, excluding holidays.
LA RS 44:32(D) In any case in which a record is requested and a question is raised by the custodian of the record as to whether it is a public record, such custodian shall within three days, exclusive of Saturdays, Sundays, and legal public holidays, of the receipt of the request, in writing for such record, notify in writing the person making such request of his determination and the reasons therefor. Such written notification shall contain a reference to the basis under law which the custodian has determined exempts a record, or any part thereof, from inspection, copying, or reproduction.
The October 2006 calendar looks like this:
Oct 5 – Thursday, date request received
Oct 6 – Friday, Day #1 of response time
Oct 7 – Saturday, Exempt
Oct 8 – Sunday, Exempt
Oct 9 – Monday, Day #2 of response time, response made and mailed.
In her response to Aymond, the City Clerk at Pineville says, “As presented, your request encompasses information that is not subject to disclosure, including but not limited to information subject to attorney-client privilege, and medical related information.”
In the Town Talk Aymonds says that, “Within the time allowed by law, Pineville failed to state why the e-mails would not be provided, failed to answer the question of downloading, and simply asked me to limit or narrow the scope of my request.”
This is a bold face lie! Pineville did respond in the time allowed by law and did provide Aymond reasons why they could not supply the e-mails as requested.
By Aymond’s own filings, he has proven himself a liar…but we all knew that didn’t we Aymond.
researcher thats our fault -- we asked the clerk for a copy of the pineville v aymond public records lawsuit or words to that effect. we didnt specify exhibits -- we didnt think about exhibits. so we dont have any of the other exhibits mentioned in the suit. if we have a chance get them we will add them in at that post.
Thank you "We" I'm sure we would all like accurate information before forming an opinion.
By the way, I'm not being cute, I just realize that sometimes ALL of us drop the ball.
What makes my blood boil is when someone intentually creates a false impression to further a lie. It seems that Aymond and his small minded minions attempted to do just that.
Sincere thanks to Researcher, and We Saw That for digging out and posting the truth.
Hey ya'll, don't forget my buddy Sooth, he's the one who first posted why Aymond wouldn't cough up the money to get the stuff like everybody else has to do.
So you guys are honestly cheering for our rights to review government records to be denied by the court because you do not like Aymond. Damn what blindness. Of course I suspect City employee, attys or their staff, political allies , interested party or one of family members actually have the time and nerve to post this crap.
Thats right. Aymond wants something that we are entitled to , we dont like aymond so screw our rights we just want to protect our bro Dupree and screw Aymond . Thats exactly what is going on here. Besides, our government is different than everyone elses because we were all elected without opposition so that means we are smarter, faster, and never wrong. So damn your rights as long as you are with us!!!
So Brother Nathan Martin, please tell us under your real name what you think about the public records law. What do you understand the purpose of it is and what do you feel about the publics right to use it. We all wanna know.
To these two pinheads:
"So you guys are honestly cheering for our rights to review government records to be denied by the court because you do not like Aymond."
and,
"Thats right. Aymond wants something that we are entitled to , we dont like aymond so screw our rights..."
Please get your head out your asses long enouth to prove what you claim. Show me ANY document, anywhere in this piss fight where The City of Pineville refused to give Aymond what he was allowed by law to have?
One....JUST ONE!!
Aymond-----> January 26, 2007 5:28:49 PM
Nice try Tubby, your fat little Cheese Whiz stained fingers are all over this one.
Of course I suspect City employee, attys or their staff, political allies , interested party or one of family members actually have the time and nerve to post this crap.
--------------------------------------
Yup, and I know of only one attorney in town who has so few clients that he has time to sign on as Anon and self support his position...Aymond!
Just visited Aymond's blog to see his version of this conflict.
Ya'll know he only has 38 people as members?
Quint, anyone with a half of a teaspoon of common sense realizes that your attackers are just trying to discredit GOPAC. Why? because GOPAC is a threat. The Democrat party is on decline here in Louisiana, and the most radical,and corrupt, of them are in danger of becomimg extinct.
Besides, anyone who actually believes anything they say is incapabile of reasoned thought, and thus...unimportant.
Cruise on brother, cruise on.
Is Kelvin Sanders out or in?
So Aymonds wants Judge Swent to review or make the City of Pineville allow him to review the e-mai files to determine which ones are "public" documents and which are private?
Call me a pragmatist...but I like to look at things realisticly. Here are my thoughts:
Let's say Rich gets 20 e-mails per day. Not an unreasonable number for someone in his position of authority. OK, 20 times 365 = 7300 times 5 years = 36,500!!! Do you think that Judge Swent is going to sit down and go through that many e-mails? Furthermore. Aymond would have to sit at Pinville City Hall for days on end to accomplish this task. I can just see it now...there is Greg sitting there among a pile of discarded Twinkie wrappers and empty Cheese Puff bags sifting through the thousands of e-mails.
Give me a break. He obviously needs to be more specific in his request. For example, I want to see all e-mails from the month of XYZ or I want to see all e-mails sent to or recieved from XYZ. Perhaps if Mr Aymonds had any clue as to what he was lookking for he could do this.
The horse is dead and you are off base. Why don't you find something else to beat?
anon 8:44 you make a good point. Seems like ole Ricky would have many mnany more emails after 5 years of being so important . He says he only has 9500 total. Sound fishy to you ? Can you spell D-e-l-e-t-e? One of your computer experts, is there a way to determine if emails have been deleted and is there a permanent record of all emails kept on computer or server?
kelvin is still in
The interesting thing about emails is that they involve at least two parties and two computers. One can never be sure which ones were saved, forwarded, or printed out by the "other" party(ies). So that's the double whammy. If you delete an email and maintain that it never existed and the other side is holding or gains the preserved copy, you conduct quickly goes from "embarrassing" to "criminal".
In today's world with the magic of a $10 USB flash drive the size of a stick of gum, and in political environments where survivors protect themselves with insurance like sensitive correspondence, and the knowledge that someone is always getting the short end of the stick and the cast of powerful characters is constantly changing, I would bet on the existence of other copies.
And THAT, my friends, is the beauty of Aymond's request.
Sooooo what you're saying is that Aymond may ALREADY have copies of some incriminating E-Mail???
I don't get how that would work. Suppose Swent says the e-mail is not subject to disclousure. NOBODY whould know it exhists. And if it turns up, especially from Aymond, people would scream FAKE.
We all know Aymond has altered stuff before, why not now?
Do you really think that Pineville is trying to conceal emails that don't exist? I don't think that there is any question that Aymond is entitled to see the non-exempt emails, which are probably most or all of them. The genius of Aymond's tactic is that it not only outs criminal conduct by the target, but it potentially inspires criminal conduct. So the question becomes not whether or not you fugged up, but have you fugged up yet. I don't know Mr. Dupree but it looks like he picked the wrong enemy.
Sooooo Pinevillegate...We agree on one thing. Aymond is entitled to the non-exempt e-mails. Here's what I see as the pitfall in Aymond's scheme. Any potential embarassing e-mails will be labeled as exempt. And, if the e-mail is embarassing, in thoery, it would implicate two parties. Dupree and the person sending the e-mail to Dupree.
If the e-mail implicates some sort of wrongdoing...both parties would be guilty.
What's to prevent both parties from destroying all evidence of the e-mails? Ther is software out there which will totally clean ANY remenant from storage.
Besides, There is too much at statk here for Pineville to attempt that.
Here's what I think. Aymond is famous for making something out of nothing. He can take something perfectly legal and above board, and spin it onto something that smells bad. I think this is his goal. I really don't think there is anything illegal going on in Pineville, but Aymond shure can spin it to APPEAR BAD FOR DUPREE.
Aymond hates Dupree and has already said he will go to any lengths to destroy him. I think Aymond is fishing for something he can turn into a scandal, not something illegal.
If Aymond had information concerning something illegal, he would have narrowed his search. Besides, he asked for e-mails for 5 years. Doesn't Aymond know that Dupree has only been in his position since 2004?
All this points to Aymond seeking attention, which he has gotten. I also think Aymond knows there is no smoke and no fire...so he's bound and determined to start one.
OK, let me get this straight...you think Aymond's whole motive for all of this was to draw attention to himself and bash Dupree at the same time?
You think Aymond crafted his request that way on purpose, knowing Pineville would have to defend itself the way it has?
Even Aymond isn't that crazy...
Aymond has Pinville publically attempting to conceal public records; spending big money; Dupree is sent scrambling as is anybody else implicated in those emails; Aymond ends up on the side of freedom and justice and Dupree is a sneekly guy; Dupree is exposed to hazard from about a dozen different angles - and you are questioning Aymond's sanity. Sounds like CHECK and MATE to me.
On your theory about all parties sanitizing their files and computers and flash drives: how would you like your continued freedom to depend on that????
Ya'll don't know Aymond! Not only is he capabile of dreaming up this whole thing, He would do it just to make Dupree and Pineville look bad.
So far he succeded!
Ya'll really think Aymond wants to read 10,000 e-mails? Nahhh this is the ultimate political dirty trick, nothing more.
Again, according to the statute, motive may not be questioned for an information request. Any motive assigned at this point is wild speculation and shows the commentators motive of clouding the issue. February 5th will come soon enough.
If Dupree is half as important as he thinks he is ...just think about all the other politicos who might have some embarrassment from those emails. No wonder they are scampering to stop the disclosure of whatever emails have not already been deleted. I get the impression that Aymond may already have in his possession one such email and if Dupree turns in his sworn "total" and it is not there then I think we really see some problems . This could be bigger than any of us realize.

That would be badk if he turned in what he says were ALL of the emails and then others surfaced wouldnt it? I mean are there laws against destroying pubic records? Or would it perhaps be a violation of a court order?
I think it would be a violation of law and thus malfeasance and if the court orders that all emails be turned over and he has deleted without disclosing those to her I would suspect it would be a violation of her order and thus perhaps contempt. In either case it would be VERY embarrassing if it is discovered that emails have been deleted and it sounds like Aymond might just have the means to know. I guess we will find out as this all plays out.
Quint,
I never called you a racist, Marxist, or bigot. Please do not lie about what was said.
Gosh, this is better than any soap opera. We could call it... "As Cenla Burns".
To all the public records starved bloggers; have you ever considered that the flap in Pineville is not about "resisting a public records request" as much as it is about "resisiting a NUT"! Have you ever been to Greg Aymonds website? It's over 200-postings of rantings and ravings from a man who once hid his identity under a white sheet. I challenge you to look past your hatred of Pineville's position, and look at the hated of Greg Aymonds.
I suspect the "motives' of Pineville are just as much involved as the 'motives' of Aymond but I don't care about eithers motives. I will be damned if our arrogant government is going to say no or attempt to discourage disclosure of public records by making them too expensive for any of us to get. This is bigger (believe it or not) than Aymond or Dupree
So, do you think that huyunan (1st post - Friday, January 26, 2007 12:01:23 PM) is really Lamar?
I'm sure that now that Lamar is a public employee, he will be strongly advised not to blog.
Au contrar - Lamar will be the voice of progress. I am hoping that he will issue a comprehensive statement on the newest asset conservation program: combination locks on the council snack room. That the council spends our money on cheese cubes and celery sticks for post-meeting grazing is an old complaint, but they now have decided to secure this feast from their public. Lamar's job will be to disclose how this makes us "blossom".
if city employees werent allowed to blog, this site would be dead
To this poster:
"I will be damned if our arrogant government is going to say no or attempt to discourage disclosure of public records by making them too expensive for any of us to get. This is bigger (believe it or not) than Aymond or Dupree"
In all of this e-mail BS that has spilled out, can you point to one, just one time where Pineville has refused any records request to anyone????
Yeah, I thought not.
Despite what you and the rest of the Aymond sickos have said, this is all about deciding WHAT records ro release, not IF they will be released.
If you haven't followed this whole thing, I suggest you read prior posts and educate yourself on the arguement before you look more ignorent than you already do.
Why can't Pineville just release ALL the damn records??? Why the stall??
I think you're the one who doesn't get it.
Let's see If I have this straight. Pineville files a lawsuit against Aymond, and it was Aymond's plan? That makes perfect sense.
Wrong, the city has not reviewed the documents and presented an issue on certain ones. The city is maintaining that reviewing the emails is itself a logistical and financial burden on the city and they want to pass the burden on to the requesting citizen in contravention of the law. Pineville is simply trying to sweat Aymond financially to get him off the track. I don't think he discourages that easily. I did not know that Swent's former law clerk and neice now work for that firm.
To this poster, whoever he is----> January 28, 2007 4:04:55 PM
Try to learn a little about the statutes that you quote from before you make a complete ass out of yourself.
You said: "The city is maintaining that reviewing the emails is itself a logistical and financial burden on the city and they want to pass the burden on to the requesting citizen in contravention of the law."
Guess what dimwit, the Louisiana Legislature disagrees with you. In LA RS 44:32(3) it says: No fee shall be charged to any person to examine or review any public records, except as provided in this Section, and no fee shall be charged for examination or review to determine if a record is subject to disclosure, except as may be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.
That's exactally why they are going to court on Feb 5, so Swent can set the fee, if any, that Pineville can charge Aymond for separating the e-mails.
Geeeeezzzzzzeeeeee, what an idiot.
And to this guy------> Look, it's simple. The group of ALL e-mails contains SOME e-mails that are NOT PUBLIC INFORMATION. Example: medical records of employees, correspondence that include attorney/client information, information on sensitive negotiations which have not been concluded yet.
These non public e-mails have to be separated from the public ones. What this piss fight is over is the cost of separating the e-mails.
However, Aymond has lied about so many things concerning this deal, everybody thinks Pineville has refused to give the stuff to Aymond.
That ain't true, and I challenged anyone to post any proof that Pineville refused to comply. So far no body has taken me up on that challenge...because they can't.
If you want to see proof of Aymond's lies, go look at my previous post of:January 26, 2007 3:31:36 PM
And to this guy too:----> January 28, 2007 4:00:04 PM
Nope, filing the suit was NEVER part of Aymond's plan, it was Pineville calling Aymond's bluff.
Aymond hoped that Pineville would not comply with the law so he could scream and make a big stink over the whole thing.
But Pineville DID comply and answered him within the three days called for by law.
Now Aymond is saying that their answer isn't good enough, and he should not have to pay for the records.
Pineville filed suit to force Aymond into court and have a judge decide if he should have to pay, and how much.
However, we all know by the evidence, and his past reputation, that Aymond is a liar. This whole B/S thing about e-mails is the result of a few small minded people believing a known liar over the doccumented facts.
Actually, the repositor is to maintain files so that personell, medical, and any other files that are not for public review remain separated from what is public record. HOEPA legislation protecting privacy provides the same mandate. By Pineville's own admission, it appears that they are not in compliance with State and Federal regulation due to the intermingling of public and private records. Public records are to be available for review upon demand and copies available in three days. Pineville is hardly in compliance with the law on several points. February 5th will tell the tale. I wonder if DOJ would be interested in HOEPA violations by a municipality? I might have to make a phone call.
Just because Aymond produces an email that he says wasnt released by the COP doesn't mean diddly-squat.
I hope we all remember Bush's forged Natl. guard memos that cost Dan Rather his career.
What it raises is the matter of full disclosure which the City of Pineville is bound to comply. I suppose you feel they are exempt from the law.
Wanna know a shocker for Mr Dupree? The law does not exclude from disclosure Mr Duprees "personal" emails from disclosure IF they were sent or received on PUBLIC computers. So, this is not about having to seperate those. BUT maybe that is why there is such a fuss about disclosure.And to the question about whether Pineville had ever refused to disclose records before 2 important answers . 1) NO they have never refused to respond 2) NO ONE has ever asked for Mr Duprees information. That alone makes it very interesting.
Look Spanky the smug, you're dead ass wrong on several small points, however they they play a huge part in this fiasco.
You said: "Actually, the repositor is to maintain files so that personell, medical, and any other files that are not for public review remain separated from what is public record. HOEPA legislation protecting privacy provides the same mandate."
Yes you're right, the records themselves are to be kept private and separate, according to HOPEA, however, the statutes are silent as to internal correspondence concerning those records by administration officialls who are allowed access. Dupree could have e-mailed the personall director concerning medical leave of some employee and those e-mails are non public, but not required to be kept separate. It is expected that internal communication of this sort will never see public scrutany, however, they reside in the same computer folder, hence the need for separation.
Besides, the e-mails MAY NOT contain medical info. You Still have not addressed the Atty/client privilage issue. That alone requires review and separation.
Point#2: You said, "Public records are to be available for review upon demand and copies available in three days. Pineville is hardly in compliance with the law on several points."
No, you're wrong, look at LS RS 44:32 Sec.D carefully Spanky. Read it a few times until you understand it if you have to. You'll see that COP has 3 days to respond to Aymond's request and produce the e-mails or a reason why they can't.
As I said in my post of January 26, 2007 3:31:36 PM, Pineville did just that.
Ya better do a better job with your fact finding Spanky before you run off at the mouth.
That's exactally why they are going to court on Feb 5, so Swent can set the fee, if any, that Pineville can charge Aymond for separating the e-mails.
Try reading the order again. The Feb. hearing has nothing to do with setting any fees. It is solely to see if Judge Swent will review the emails.
Methinks Researcher is entirely full-0-shit. He has not read/does not understand the pleadings. Them know it all assholes always have highly critical opinions of we who know of which we speak. He's got a 9th grade education and has pulled up the statutes so he can give us his learned opinion. But, if there weren't that kind of people it would be hard for us lawyers to make a good living.

January 29th, 2007 at 1:02 am
Thanks for that site Lamar. I had not seen it before.
While many legal cases are of high public interest, and certainly include public discussion and debate, I fear that many loose track of the fact that, as with any trial, testimony and evidence are presented in the courtroom. It is from that, which the judge hears and sees, and which may not be available to bloggers, the judge will base a ruling upon, in accordance with law. Judgments cannot be based upon public opinion.
Additionally, “the law” is not only comprised of written statutes, but also of previous court rullings, adminstrative laws, and scholarly legal writings and Attorney General opinions, as persuasive authorities. Even after extensive research, lawyers can be of differing opinions, thus the need for a judge to make a decision. Therefore, although a matter of public concern, law is much more complex than many bloggers are aware.
Researcher, I was rattling your cage to see what smoke you emitted. Mission accomplished.
To:---->January 28, 2007 6:40:52 PM
Wrong again assface. The order to which you refer is attached to Aymond's plea, not Pineville's original petition. Before any other question can be considered, including Aymond's bullshit request for an in-camera review, Swent has to decide if Pineville can charge Aymond for separating the e-mails. It's the basis for every other question.
Think about it pinhead...If Pineville CANNOT charge for separating the public from non-public e-mails, they will have to do this and turn over the public e-mails. End of case...period.
Her decision on this point will set off a cascade of further fulings which will end this lawsuit, unless one party or the other decides to take it to the third circuit.
Try again moron...

I'll tell you right to your face bud...you ain't any sort of lawyer, don't lie to us and claim you are. Second, I don't have to prove my educational accomplishments to some jack leg, bullshit prick like you.
I have read every pleading, every exhibit, every reconventional demand, the entire damn case file on Aymond's requests and Pineville's suit. I fully understand them all, it ain't rocket science.
I also know Title 44, each section, sub-section and part backwards and forwards. I have to deal with this everyday so don't feed me or the other posters here some crap about how this is to complex for a layman to understand, because it's not.
You, Lamar, Aymond... you pricks are all alike. You take a position based on bullshit, and when someone knocks the crap out of your stance with fact...you resort to saying that the people couldn't possibly understand the intricate complexities of this case...so your arguement should prevail. BULLSHIT! Facts beat bullshit every time.
So, I'll throw down with you asshole.
First, prove you're an attorney, 'cause I will wager that this is just more of your ass stinking bullshit.
Second, name one thing I have posted that is factually incorrect, just one.
C'mon you chickenshit NAME JUST ONE!
And to this pencil-dicked little mental midget----> January 28, 2007 8:36:27 PM...
I'll extend the same challenge...name one thing I have posted here about the Pineville VS Aymond crap that is not factually correct...
Just one junior...
researcher said..
I didn't say it was complicated - just that you obviously don't understand it. You can't watch a couple episodes of Aly McBeal and be a lawyer. And you might want to do something about that temper. You sound irrational AND stupid.
Hey Smooch, Smack, Slurp....
Who gives a shit what Greg Aymond says?
To:---->January 28, 2007 8:44:07 PM
yeah, yeah, yeah...personal insults, whatever asshole.
Don'y try and change the subject...you gonna take my challenge or not?
Name one thing I have posted that is factually incorrect...
C'mon assbreath...name just one...
Poor researcher,
More pecker talk - frustration seems to bring out your weenie obsession. Did you like gym class?
Poor researcher - Aly wasn't really a lawyer, she just played like she was, kinda like you.
Hey Spanky:
"Researcher, I was rattling your cage to see what smoke you emitted. Mission accomplished."
Yeah..hope you're happy with the plume.
But I noticed that ya didn't say I was wrong....
And now I'm a doctor. Turn your head and cough.
To these two clowns:
January 28, 2007 8:49:58 PM
January 28, 2007 8:51:57 PM
Yeah, yeah, yeah...so much with the insults...if that's all you got, go home and play with your dolls.
The real men here deal in fact...you gonna try and dispute mine?
C'mon....you can shut me up easy...just show me one thing I posted that was factually incorrect.
"You, Lamar, Aymond... you pricks are all alike. You take a position based on bullshit, and when someone knocks the crap out of your stance with fact...you resort to saying that the people couldn't possibly understand the intricate complexities of this case...so your arguement should prevail. BULLSHIT! Facts beat bullshit every time."
Two questions:
1. What does Lamar have anything at all to do with the Aymond stuff?
2. What facts have you ever presented that leveled an argument made by Lamar?
Just curious.
I never said that I was a man. As a matter of fact our mutual facination with the male organ may be the only thing we have in common. Don't ask don;t tell???
I can't believe that this idiot posted what he did---->January 28, 2007 9:02:33 PM
OK slow boy...here's the deal. Go back and read this evening's posts...you should understand what I was talking about.
If you don't, come back later and I'll explain. Run along now...
the problem is that some people on this blog don't understand some issues are not merely black and white; there are shades of grays and- yes- complexities that make some things complicated.
most intelligent people understand this, but there are some ideologues, who may present themselves as being smart, who want quick and Manichean answers to everything--- and if you don't answer the way they want you to (simple, definitive yeses and noes) then they cry bullshit--- when the truth is that these people are too simple-minded or willfully ignorant to understand complex issues.
And to this person,----> January 28, 2007 9:02:51 PM
Be it a he, or a she, or a he-she...I relly don't give a happy tinkers damn.
Ya gonna try and dispute the facts??? Or continue to try and dazzle us with more of your bullshit?
There researcher.
Put that in your dick and smoke it.
researcher--
the reason your detractors have resorted to name-calling is because you're calling them names as well. the poster asked you two simple questions, and instead of responding with anything factual, you demeaned them. i have taken your advice and reviewed this thread, and there is absolutely nothing here that comes close to answering the two questions that were posed.
Hey--->January 28, 2007 9:19:07 PM
You talkin to me??? If ya are, then tell me where I'm missing the point pinhead!
You're just another bullshitter with a fancy vocabulary. You hide behind what you say is your superior understanding of "all the complexities." In reality, your position has been utterly destroyed by cold hard fact. There is no grey area to this...and if you think there is...you're full of crap.
So don't post your "I'm superior to you" attitude here. Save that bullshit for some mental midget that will let you get away with it.
Just answer the question...can you point to ONE post, just ONE, I have written that is factually incorrect...if not, shut up and get back under the porch.
look, the researcher or whatever you're calling yourself today,
the truth is that some issues are not simply black and white and that is why america has something called the judicial system.
your willingness to lump lamar with aymond makes me doubt your political motives, which is a separate issue.
honestly, i don't have a dog in the fight between aymond and dupree. if you've been factually accurate regarding this case, then i am sure all will be revealed once this goes in front of a judge.
however, you were asked two simple questions, and you cannot answer them.
what does lamar have anything to do with aymond or dupree?
and what facts have you presented that dismantled an argument posed by lamar?
your refusal to answer these questions and your subsequent grandstanding and diversionary tactics demonstrate your inability to understand nuance.
Researcher, why bother?
To:---> January 28, 2007 9:24:06 PM
The kid asked two questions about this portion of my post:
"You, Lamar, Aymond... you pricks are all alike. You take a position based on bullshit, and when someone knocks the crap out of your stance with fact...you resort to saying that the people couldn't possibly understand the intricate complexities of this case...so your arguement should prevail. BULLSHIT! Facts beat bullshit every time."
The paragraph above had nothing to do with Lamar or Aymond except to note their method of handling debate. When either one of them are faced with facts which destroy their position, they both avoid further discussion by changing the subject, or saying that their opponent "just dosn't understand."
It's a bullshit, cop out, tactic used by people who can't debate on fact.
As to me calling the posters here names...damn right I do. And if they want to call me names also...fine with me. Trouble is, they can spew all the nasty names they want, it does not change the fact that they don't have a clue as to the FACTS.
If they did...they would use FACTS to support their position.
Clear enough for you now junior?
what FACTS?
Yeah, you might be right, but this issue ain’t one of those gray area things, so what’s your damn point?
Further, I ain’t lumpin Lamar and Aymond, except neither of them cares to debate fact. Aymond is a proven liar, and Lamar tries to avoid any fact that doesn’t fit his Pollyanna view of his little world. If the two of them are connected, politically or otherwise, great…they make a lovely couple.
And if you don’t have a dog in this fight…why don’t you just shut up? You took a position by inserting yourself in this debate. And don’t think you can fool me or anyone else here tonight LAMAR... your writing style is too damn easy to recognize.
I did answer the questions... see the post above. Personally I have never engaged you in a heated debate, however I have watched others pick you apart with facts while you avoided the subject an ran like a scalded dog with your tail tucked between your legs.
Nuance???? You mean spin... No Lamar... I deal with truth, and fact. I’ll leave the spin to kids like you who don’t have the stomach to face reality.
because it's great sport to smack'em around Spanky...LMAO
the facts of Aymond's e-mail request from Pineville.
Researcher has challenged everyone here tonight to dispute the facts of the case.
so far there are no takers
researcher,
i am not lamar. sorry to disappoint you. i questioned why you brought his name up and what he had said because i was curious. that's all. you answered my questions in a roundabout way.
Researcher is just a self-righteous hothead. I bet he wishes Lamar was paying attention to him. Looks like more than one person knows what the word nuance means, Researcher.
To:----> January 28, 2007 10:19:21 PM
How I answered your questions, if I answered your questions, or why I answered your questions ain't important Lamar...just be glad someone paid your silly ass questions some attention.
To:----> January 28, 2007 10:57:29 PM
And do you know what the word irrelevant means? "cause that's what your OPINION is in this debate. As far as being a “self-righteous hothead,” tell me what the hell that has to do with facts? A person could be a liberal, socialist, asshole like you but if his facts were correct, what the hell does his political views have to do with it?
Sad thing is people like you can’t get anything right in their lives. You stumble through, embracing the philosophy of the day without any firm belief in anything. You have no balls, no conviction, nothing to give your pitiful, sad life direction. You go where the wind blows you today, believing whatever some other sad little person tells you.
You cannot understand me, or people like me, who have the balls to stand for what is right and what is wrong based on truth and fact, so you label me a hothead. Fine then…call me a hothead, but that does not change what is and is not FACT.
Now you spineless little worm…you want to display how smart you are to everyone and tell us all where I am wrong concerning the FACTS of Pineville VS Aymond?
If not, shut up and go back under the porch.
Ooooooo! Welcome back, researcher. Many months ago we were plagued by a sociopath that was obsessive about male genitalia and wanting everybody to go back "under the porch". I was wondering if your family had put you in a "home" and now I wonder if that "home" has internet. Perhaps you are a seasonal annoyance like flu or poison ivy. If the demons come back from under the porch and take away your internet privileges could you please make me a wallet?
To:--->January 29, 2007 7:40:39 AM
LMAO...as predicted, the weak minded out there, who cannot debate fact, has resorted to name calling in an attempt to seem more intellegent than they really are.
OK pinhead, so you can attack me personally..Great...take your best shot.. but can you duspiut fact? Nope.
Apparently you live by the same credo as Lamar and Aymond. When you ain't got shit to stand on...resort to bullshit...
but can you duspiut fact? Nope.
Here is a fact without dispute (duspiut): please don't use the contrasting stitching on my wallet. It makes them look cheap. Also, a picture of a horsey would be nice but the front of the horse, please, not a self portrait.
I was told that many public officials and others may have been "talked about" in some of those Pineville e-mails. Many of the posters on this blog may have been the subject of chatter in the e-mails. Makes you wonder which side to be on in e-mailgate.
Well, obviously, we want to get the truth out from "under the porch". We are warned daily on TV and in literature to exercise caution in our office cybercommunication. Emails and IMs are around forever. And remember, those emails and IMs that you send from your den to someone else's office - same thing. We all forget. And we all are exposed. Those folks who sent Dupree scandleous stuff may hear their names in Swent's courtroom.

No point, really, We are all just laughing at your obvious illness and that is unkind. It must be very difficult for your family, if they ever come to visit. The thought that you could have borne children (although with your phallic fetish that is unlikely) is frightening. I wish you the best.
Researcher, you really don't have to stand for all this abuse. Why don't you get your well-worn copy of "Lawyering for Idiots" and an official looking legal pad and show up in Judge Swent's courtroom on February 5th to find out exactly who is interested in what you might have to say. And you quit wasting our time and space.

well, it's gotta be frustrating and lonely to be the only person who is right 100% of the time.
too bad, researcher, that you still aren't correct about my identity. no matter how much you want it to be true, i'm not lamar. keep guessing. you're hot on my trail.
hahahaha
It's looks like Wal-Mart is finally having to pay for some wrongdoing -
"The U.S. Department of Labor announced today that Wal-Mart Stores Inc. will pay over $33 million in back wages to resolve issues that arose under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) concerning how the company computed overtime pay. The agreement covers 86,680 employees who worked for the company from Feb. 1, 2002 to Jan. 19, 2007.
"This settlement provides $33 million in back wages, plus interest, to Wal-Mart workers, and the company has taken corrective action to prevent this from happening again," said Assistant Secretary of Labor for Employment Standards Victoria A. Lipnic.
To finalize the agreement, the Labor Department filed a complaint today in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas, Ft. Smith Division, against Wal-Mart Stores Inc. alleging violations of the FLSA overtime provisions. A consent judgment ordering the company to pay back wages and enjoining it from further violations was filed at the same time. The consent judgment was approved by the court this morning.
Wal-Mart brought this matter to the attention of the Department of Labor after an internal audit raised concerns regarding overtime computations. The issues involve how Wal-Mart treated incentives and other premium payments in the calculation of employees' overtime pay. The agreement also addresses payment of overtime to certain non-exempt salaried interns, manager trainees, and programmer trainees."
The interesting part in all of this is Wal-Mart went to labor, which of course means there is much more to be found and they didn't want anyone snooping around.
"Porch-Pecker" has always had it in for Lamar. He was the goon that would rant about all of Lamar's perceived family misfortunes. Now he is practicing law on the side. I wonder if Al Gore knew that he would awaken (arouse) creatures like this when he invented the internet?
It is amazing to me how much space can be wasted posting about two insignificant awssholes such as Lemer and Almond. Neither or worth the time spent debating the two faced liars. Almond just wants his 15 minbutes of fame because Lemer is having his.
Speaking of Lemer funny how his appointment was never officially announced.
Funny, I thought you Lamar's storm troopers believed Lamar was the second coming. Now you try and paint him as "unfortunate???" What's next? Trying to convince us the silver spoon in his mouth is a handicap?
yes it was, you fucking retard. read today's newspaper

But I am kind to dumbasses like you so I'll give you another chance...Name one thing I have posted here that is factually incorrect....just one.
I'm waiting....
researcher,
no one cares if you're right or wrong about the pineville e-mail thing because no one -- except for maybe a tiny group of people-- actually care enough about it to argue with you.
people are making fun of you because you're coming across as an arrogant jerk. it's amusing. you think people care about this issue when actually most of us are tired of your obsessions with lamar and now with aymond.
get a life.
hey 3:32:17 PM, Gunn's silly column is really front page news huh.
"Lamar Sucks Up Enough To Land $35,000 A Year." Wow, the Mayor really thinks highly of him, especially since his female counterpart will be making $55,000!
LMAO, you guys are so proud of your fearless leader for making 35! I make that in 3 months and I don't have to suck up to Mayor Roy!
To:--->January 29, 2007 3:40:35 PM
Let's clear up a few points shall we pinhead??
I'm right, I know it and so do you. If you want to argue that nobody cares..fine. If that is the case, the Aymond spin would stop, but it hasn't. The lies continue. When the lies stop, there will be no more reason to press the truth. But Aymond is a proven liar, and whenever he speaks, I'm gonna challenge him.
I really don't give a shit if dumb asses like you make fools out of yourselves trying to change the subject. If you cannot defend your position with fact, you resort to spin...nice try, but the intellegent posters here got your number.
I don't care if Lamar is still breathing tomorrow or not...but I think he's a coward who will not engage in factual debate.
As to Aymond...he has no honor because he is a proven liar...what else needs to be said?
35K is not bad for a little cripple boy who has never had a real job before. He will make up the difference on the Bringhurst Golf Course.
I didn't realize people were making fun if Researcher. I figured it was one ass sucker Almond who doesn't wamt the truth to be brought out. When you cannot disprove facts object to language, education, etc.
do you have any idea how stupid you all sound?
you make fun of lamar for being born with a silver spoon and then almost in the same breath you make fun of him for not making a lot of money. i guarantee that if roy had offered him any more than 40K, you scummy jerks would be crying foul.
35K a year is pretty good for someone right out of college.
you're all so ridiculously jealous.
I think Researcher should have the last word:
"but the intellegent posters here got your number"
'nuff said
Hey January 29, 2007 4:16:55 PM...you get what you pay for...
And Roy was willing to pay $55,000 for Lamar's co-hort
Whittle is in her forties. She's experienced and professional. Lamar's 24 and has great academic experience but little job experience. It was just the right thing to do, and I am sure Roy meant no insult to Lamar. You people need to move onto a new subject. You're really letting him run your lives.
Here's the REAL question, IF Jacqueline is handling media and public relations and Lamar is handling research and acating as a publicist - WHAT THE HELL DO WE NEED KEN JUNEAU FOR?????
Compare the educational backgroud and experience with the Chief of Staff appointment in Pineville and then note how much more the Pineville appointee makes with less qualification in a City with a fractional amount of Alexandria. If you want to write a critical piece then note the disproportionate qualifications and pay between those positions.
To answer your post, 5:15:56 PM, please tell us what makes Lamar's academic experience superior to any other student who graduated a non technical curriculum with average grades?
I would, however, offer that you and I agree about his job experience.
Also, to Anon 5:29:43 PM, what does Pineville have to do with this discussion? Lamar doesn't work for Fields, does not live in Pineville. So, explain Pineville's relevance please.
Sounds like you fellas are saying Lamar don't deserve the job, and it's political payback for Lamar's loyality during the campaign.
I got news for Jacques Roy, it wasn't Lamar's mouth that got him elected, it was Delores Brewer's
Jeeeeerrrrraaaaalllllleeeeeeuuuuuusssssssaaaaallllleeeeemmmmm!!!!!! Can't you people find something to talk about more newsworthy than Lamat's salary???????????????????
wow, see what one glass of wine does to me? meant to say Jerusalem. and Lamar.
I don't care about Lamar nor his salary. I want to know why we now have two staff persons responsible for the same area that Ken Juneau has a professional services agreement for? Is he still under contract? Is he still being paid $75 per hour or whatever outrageous amount that contract was for to start with? Does our new Mayor lack such oratorical skill that he needs 3 handlers when Ned only needed Ken?
I don't know if I would call Lamar a "handler." He's more like a gopher...an expensive gopher...but a gopher.
don't we all need a gopher?
Here's a thought on the 3 handlers issue. First of all, Juneau won't be there much longer. Second, have you ever given any intelligent thought to the idea that the Mayor may want to actually improve the communication process so that instead of talking shit on the blog, y'all might actually know what his plans are for the place you call home???? Or would you rather have what you had before - a face man,someone who attended each and every function that came across his desk instead of getting the some real work done.
Here's what I want. I want a city government that handles first things first. We have a large enough tax base so we can afford a large, well trained, well equipped, well paid, corruption free police force.
We can afford a Fire Department that is good enough so that the fire insurance rating, city wide, is a #1.
We can afford a public works department that keeps the garbage off the streets, keeps the streets maintained, keeps the sewer and water systems in top condition, and insures thet there is no health hazards in this city that are not corrected in 10 days.
Accomplish all this first, then cut my taxes by 2%. If there is anything left over, spend the money on art centers, playhouses, golf courses, BBQ festivals, prize fights, concerts and zoos.
This is responsible government.
"To answer your post, 5:15:56 PM, please tell us what makes Lamar's academic experience superior to any other student who graduated a non technical curriculum with average grades?"
Rice accepts about 15 to 20% of applicants. Look it up. It's commonly referred to as the Harvard of the South. Lamar didn't graduate with average grades. He graduated at the top of his class. Not sure what you mean by the non technical curriculum, but it sounds like petty academic snobbery to me..... and as a parent of another Rice graduate, if you knew anything about the school, you'd know that all of its disciplines are challenging.
As an LSU grad, I can humbly admit that Rice is the best school within an eight hour radius of Alexandria. Lamar may not have extensive job experience, but we should be thankful to have smart people like Lamar who want to serve in public life.
"LMAO, you guys are so proud of your fearless leader for making 35! I make that in 3 months and I don't have to suck up to Mayor Roy!"
You idiot, Lamar probably makes 35K a month thanks to Daddy. To him, you're probably some new rich dumbass. I doubt he's doing the gig for the money.
jesus can we move on....... no one here knows lamar..... no one here can speak on his authority except for himself..... and he no longer writes on this blog, whether by choice or by force...he told me so himself... you can't blame him though. even the people who take up for him make themselves look like dumbasses
Did Roy give a job to HIS campaign director?
Really 10:02:10 PM??? I ckecked on your beloved Rice University and nationally they don't seem to make the cut. Listed in the top 20 colleges and universities are MIT, Harvard, Stanford, Princton, Duke, Brown, Dartmouth, Yale and Georgetown...but not Rice. Interesting indeed. Much further down the list we find Rice, tucked in amomg Pomona, American, Mount Holyoke and Oberlin.
The list was prepared by College Prowler, considered to be the "Consumer Reports" of college rankings, because they don't take money from schools to conduct their surveys.
Rice's acceptance rate is 25% and is that low because thay don't have room for more. Their own website says the school only has a 300 acre campus and less than 3000 students.
It's about the size of LSUA. In comparison LSU BR sits on 2000 acres and has about 15,000 students.
Their own website lists something called Baker 13, as a prowd tradition: Baker 13: The proud Rice tradition of stripping naked, covering your body in shaving cream, running all around campus, and leaving body prints on various glass plate windows.
Hmmmm...Harvard of the South?
"You idiot, Lamar probably makes 35K a month thanks to Daddy. "
Wow, that's something to be real proud of....
"As an LSU grad, I can humbly admit that Rice is the best school within an eight hour radius of Alexandria. Lamar may not have extensive job experience, but we should be thankful to have smart people like Lamar who want to serve in public life."
I really love Lamar. Lamar is my friend. Lamar is wonderful. Lamar is smart, he told me so. I can count to five....I graduated from LSU. Rice is great, Lamar told me so.....
Heavy sigh.....
Number 1 Researcher is not cousin Rudy's cousin. Realize the implications of this. There are two people, at least, that care not if Lemer breaths or not.
Number 2 funny the announcement did not list any duties for Lemer. The duties of the second person were listed but not Lemer. Smells of political payoff - called a dead head job.
Numer 3 funny in all the facts published about Lemer's illustrise work history to date it was ommitted that he is some sort of high potentate in a Company his mommy started for him.
He graduated summer cum loudly in a curriculum of creative writing and religious studies. Compare this curriculum to say an Engineer or other professional discipline. Seems like we are saying he can pray and write real good. The writing real good is evidenced by the bull shit he spins.
Number 4 anyone that believe neither he nor Almond post on this site believes in Easter bunnies laying brightly decorated eggs.
Lastly, Lemer doesn't control our lives. Some of us just like to point out that he is a fake, immature, dependent upon mommy and grandmom, a political hanger oner and will be a blight on the taxpayer. He has gone from one none real job to another. He is slopping at the trough of Alexandria for $17.00 an hour.
The employees of the City should realize someone who has done nothing, knows nothing but praying and writing is worth $17.00 an hour because he sucked up to Roy and is crippled.
Professionals with a real education such as teachers; Craft with skills such as plumbers, electricians, etc that are employed by Governmental Agencies should be so lucky to make $17.00 an hour.
Rice is listed as the 17th best school in the country according to the latest US News and World Report. It is in the top twenty.
Here is some basic math. The council meets a maximum of 24 times per year (the last in Dec. and the 1st in Jan. are always cancelled because of the holiday season). If they spend $11,129 on post-meeting snacks that comes to about $464 per meeting. If all 7 councilman attend and snack, that comes to $66+ per concilman per meeting. That's a bunch of swedish meatballs.
I have passed by and seen the layout but have never partaken. It's a pretty nice spread. My guess is the new "Keep-Out" policy of Pres. Hobbs is to keep people from seeing the feast, not just munching down. This new transparency thing is working great.
Fursd, I think the poster is Rudy's cousin - his personal agression and love of penises (peni) are telltale;
sekund, I think the Rudy's cousin is Borat because nobody born in this country could have such a limited use of English language;
thurd; Rudy's cousin obviously DOES care if Lamar lives or dies and the one he prefers is a cause of some concern;
fordth; Lamar is qualified because Jacques says he is qualified - end of argument. If he is paying Lamar $35K/year and Lamar could make at least 3X that in private industy (he could, ya know) then I think what we call that is "sacrifice" of personal wealth in the public interest. He probably will get a Nobel Prize (and the combination to the council chamber of snacks).
CCOS = Council Chamber of Snacks
I like it!
The "keep out" policy was put in place prior to Hobbs toaking over. The problem is this - non council and non staff persons go into the kitchen and eat while committee meetings are going on. There are some days when meetings start at 1 PM and some councilmen haven't gotten lunch. This at least provides them with a chance to get some food between committee meetings and the full council meeting. I have witnessed non council and non city employee persons walk out with "take out" plates! That is why the door started to be locked. It's been locked for at least four months now. What's the big deal?
Rice is the Harvard of the South? That's funny, when I was at Tulane we actually had t-shirts that read: "Tulane, the Harvard of the South" and Harvard had t-shirts reading the opposite. We swapped t-shirts with some students. Of course, this was in the late 80s and prior to Scott Cowen screwing the whole damn school up in his post Katrina reorganization.
"Rice is listed as the 17th best school in the country according to the latest US News and World Report. It is in the top twenty."
And we all know how neutral they are. Try looking up an unbiased report.
$66+ per councilman per meeting: it's just nice to know that in the course of the average month, they each eat enough snacks in two days to pay many of their poorer constituent's paralyzing utility bill. It's a matter of perception.
I read every post on this thread, and ya'll have made a lot more references to "peni" Than researcher has. I can only find one at January 28, 2007 8:43:00 PM where he calls someone "pencil-dicked."
However he does seem overly aggressive.....
Let's all try our best not to provoke him. He's been quiet for about 24 hours now. Let sleeping dogs lie.
$66 per councilmember? How about buying them each a $5.89 value meal from Micket Dees and be done with it.
Or better yet, have them pay for their own $5.58 value meal!
Anybody check into who caters the snacks and if they have any sort of connection with any of the council members? I smell one of those "sweetheart" deals.
Tuesday, January 30, 2007 8:55:54 AM
OK
I heard the caterer is related to one of the council members. What a rip-off.
I think it used to be the Patel Hotel which is a partner of CFS and employer of L. Marshall, and client of Provosty. He got some sweet deals: while the council was eating his snacks, Patel was eating our lunch.
If Lemer is Mr. Roy's gopher that would be like Festus on Mat Dillon. I can just see him now J a c q u e s - J a c q u e s (As in Mathew) dragging his gimp leg.
you're such an asshole.
That is perfect asshole my Dear
and what a christian-- quoting the book of matthew to justify calling someone you don't even know a gimp. real christian of you.
Can you even imagine what an extraordinary person Lamar must be to have to share the planet with mean folks like that. He is obviously brave enough to confront it and brilliant enough to overcome it. It's not enough to some sicko that it takes huge effort to walk up stairs or from room to room or in and out of a car. They really want him to hurt. And he handles it like a man and a gentleman. We should be so blessed.

The Book of Mathew? Are you really that stupid? I never knew Mat Dillon, Festus and Miss Kitty wrote a Book in the Bible.
Fool, Festus used to, while draging his gimp leg, call Mathew - Mathew when he wanted the Marshall's attention. Festus was real proper.
either way, it's not christian to make fun of someone's disability. you should be ashamed.
Well, at any rate, you now know the source of his information and the quality of his "learnin'" - he be de researcher!!!

You blog site clairvoants (I care less if it is spelled correctly)tickle the shit out of me. I am much more of a southern gentleman than researcher. I use those southern terms such as gimp, cripple, darky, burr head and such. Researcher just cusses.
Just cusses??? You(beep)I aught to(beep)and kick your(beep)cause everyone knows you're a (beep) who don't know(beep) from his (beep)! You're just a sorry(beep)who knows I right because (beep) and (beep) and(beep)!
I'll tall all you (beep)that(beep)for (beep),(beep)(beep)(beep)(beep)(beep)
(beep)(beep)(beep)(beep)(beep)(beep)
(beep)(beep)(beep)(beep)(beep)!!!!!!
You might be southern but you ain't no gentleman and I seriously doubt if you know the whereabouts or identity of your father. Your mother, slut that she was, should have been more careful. Look what happened -
Sure I know the identity of my father. In fact he is your father also. He told me he meet her one time working a street corner on Lee Street during the Viet Nam war. She was doing her best to render a service to the American fighting man.
No I didn't know momma. She was born and then died. But she never had a gimp leg so I am told.
I am also told neither was a drug addict like Lemer's father, a power hungry old bitch like his grandmaw, nor a gimp legged graduated of a religious university in creative writing and religious studies.
3:02 I have got to say something after your last post - you obviously have a severe case of hatred towards the White family as a whole and for that I feel sorry for you.
First, Lamar's father suffered from alcoholism. It is something I have watched tear many families apart and watched many friends struggle each day to deal with. NO ONE IS IMMUNE. I can only pray that you are not one of the many who can easily become an alcoholic.
Second, Lamar's grandmother stands up for what she believes in and she exerts herself. For females, that is viewed as being a bitch. Men are praised for that, well except for Aymond. If you don't like her views, then oppose her.
Finally, here is what Wikipedia says about Rice - William Marsh Rice University, commonly called Rice University and opened in 1912 as The William Marsh Rice Institute for the Advancement of Letters, Science and Art, is a private, comprehensive research university located in Houston, Texas near the Museum District and adjacent to the Texas Medical Center. Rice is particularly noted for its elite undergraduate division, as well as its strength in the applied sciences. The university has been a pioneer in the fields of nanotechnology [1], artificial heart research, structural chemical analysis, and space science.
No where does it say Rice is a "religious" university. Lamar graduated with a degree in religious studies. Why someone would choose to do so unless they were considering the priesthood or another religious type of ministierial (sorry on spelling guys) is beyond me. Frankly I don't give a rat's ass what he majored in. I am more concerned about he lack of job experienced and landing a highly political position that I might add was not advertised for by our new mayor. In fact, none of the unclassified positions were advertised. How can we as taxpayers be assured we have the best candidates on board?
I understand the mayor's staff is his own choosing, but I also question giving a job to someone fresh out of college with no experience in the area of media relations and public relations to the tune of $35,000. That is not what people working in entry level positions in the private sector performing the same functions would be making.
If you want to rant about something go off on that and leave the other bullshit at home.
Anon 3:54 let me tell you something you son of a bitch. Any Lamar ass kisser can say anything about anybody but let somebody say something about him or his family and assholes like you come to his rescue.
Look at the posting prior to mine. It is ok to state I don't know who my father is and my mother is a slut but you can't say Lamar's father was a fucking drunk. His father was a drun k that is fact. My mother was not a slut that is a dayum lie. So you take your bullshit and go elsewhere.
If you folks want to fight dirty bring it on but save your preaching for Sunday.
So as they say in France, Fuck You and let the battle commence.
To finish my harangue it is just like the Lemer ass kisser claiming Reszearcher is I. I don't know who Researcher is and don't give a fuck. I do know it is not I because I didn't cuss as much before the Lemer lovers started on my ass.
Do I dislike Lemer and his grandmother. Hell yes. Lemer is a fucking liar, a spin doctor, a chamelion and a charleton. His grandmother is a power hungry old bitch which is a well known fact and she is the power behind Lemer. Lemer fucked every one with his political spinning for Roy and before it is over with all of grandmaws favorite friends will be part of the administration.
Try this out for him being a back stabber. Brewer was good enough for him to use to get exclusive rights to Bringhurst but suddenly lwhen he backed Roy she wasn't worth a shit. That is called biting the hand that feeds you.

Uh oh! Looks like somebody can dish it out pretty good but let somebody shine the light on his roadwhore of a mama and he kinda screams. Doesn't that just say it all. Don't fret - being illegit ain't that bad -
but it ain't that good either. Just remember, it ain't your fault you are a bastard. Now, the fact that you are a low-life rotten bastard, that's a different deal.
One of the many "different" traditions at Rice:
Night of Decadence
Every year around Halloween, Wiess College throws a party called Night of Decadence (commonly referred to simply as "NOD"). The party started in the 1970s and quickly became a legendary event at Rice and in Houston, drawing young alumni and students from other universities in addition to Rice students. After a few years as simply Night of Decadence, the College began adopting a theme for each year's party. In the 1970s and 1980s, many of the themes were historical and/or apocalyptic in nature (e.g. The Fall of Rome, Caligula, Armageddon, Animal Farm, The Trojan War). By the 1990s the themes were generally sexual puns, often based on movie titles (e.g. James Bondage, Lust in Space), with sexually themed decorations.
Instead of traditional costumes, students dress as degenerately (or as minimally) as possible. Pregnant nuns and drag dress are some of the tamer outfits. Although there are always several people creatively attired in Saran Wrap or fishnet stockings and pasties, a typical costume is boxer shorts for men, and bra and panties for women.
Because of its overtly sexual context, NOD eventually became a polarizing event on the Rice campus. Alternative events on campus included Night of Innocence (offered since at least the 1980s) and Night of Praise. NOD remains one of the most popular parties on campus, though the decorations have become more conservative in recent years.
For a more detailed history of NOD, please see the article on Wiess College.
Beer-Bike
Beer-Bike, a Rice tradition since 1957, is a combination intramural bicycle race and drinking competition. All nine of the residential colleges plus the graduate school participate with a men's, women's, and alumni (co-ed) team. Each leg of the race is a sort of relay in which a team's "chugger" must chug 24 ounces for the men's division and 12 ounces for women before the team's "rider" may begin to ride. In conjunction with the increase of the Texas legal drinking age to 21 in 1986 the rules were amended to permit underage chuggers to chug water instead of beer. Over the years underage chuggers increasingly exercised this option. In recent races even some students of legal drinking age have begun to chug water, and on some teams beer chugging may have disappeared altogether. An excellent male chugger can finish a 24-ounce container in about three seconds (beer or water); colleges place great pride in the skill of their chug teams (many holding chug practices every Thursday night for the entire year), though the vast majority of separation between teams is due to the cycling component. Ten riders and ten chuggers make up a team. Elaborate rules include details such as a prohibition of "bulky or wet clothing articles designed to absorb beer/water or prevent spilled beer/water from being seen" and regulations for chug can design. Prior to the race, the colleges parade the wrong way along the one-way campus inner loop while participating in one of the largest water balloon fights in the world, with more than 1,000 students hurling in excess of 100,000 balloons in an hour's time. Preparations for the waterfight and jacks begin at least a month in advance
Addiutionally an alcoholic is someone recovering from being a drunk. His father, as was well known, was a drunk.
A roadwhore is usually an ugly woman who hangs around truck stops and gives blow jobs for cigarettes and wine or dope. The good news is that your father could probably operate a standard transmission with 18 forward gears.
4:01:42, The French may say let the battle commence but they plant tress on both sides of the road so the Germans can walk in the shade.
Sounds as though someone with experience as a roadwhore is speaking.

Brewer lost. She lost big.
Like most sound-minded people, Lamar jumped ship once he realized that Roy was obviously the better candidate. Think about how crazy that woman was-- comparing Jacques to a rapist and then a pig, stealing mailing lists, holding phony press conferences to accuse Ned of criminal activity. You expected Lamar to stick around because Brewer listened to a proposal?? Get real.
The election is over, and now it's obvious that you Breweristas are probably the sorest losers in the history of the city. Attacking someone's father, their disability, their education, pretty much anything you can. It's just crazy.
Oh and you're not fooling anyone when you claim that you actually voted for Jacques Roy. Because if you're insane enough to vote for Delores after she completely imploded, you're just as likely to take the next step and attack someone like Lamar, whose only crime is being born and speaking his mind about his city.
Lamar,
I apologize once again for the antagonists who continue to harp on your family. I congradulate you on your job with the city and look forward to calling upon you to answer some of the appropriate postings for this blog.
I met with Greg Aymond this morning and I believe an agreement was made. Greg, if you would care to agree with me on this please respond.
To everyone else: this blog was introduced to help move this community ahead both socially and politically. Politically we have achieved this ... I don't think I have to even bring up socially. If this blog has turned into a joke as some have presumed, than it is due to the bloggers. To keep this blog where it needs to be, it needs to be policed. Policed by the bloggers themselves. Should I need to do so, I will set up another blog for the "ignoranus" crowd. New term ... it means not only stupid but an asshole as well.
Now as assumed by several bloggers let me get back to my plan of world domination.
Signed ...
The Evil Incarnate; GoPac'r
Sorry for the misspellings ... I haven't eaten today.
Quint, yes I very much enjoyed our meeting this morning, and, at the very least, I think we discovered how much we have in common.
I also think that we both agreed what a useful tool to the public that blogs, such as yours, can be. I think we also agreed that intelligent minds recognize that others have opposing opinion. However, we agreed, that in intelligent debate there is no place for name calling, cursing or insulting a poster's family members. That is a sign of lack of intelligence.
I think we also agreed that we both wish that the intelligent readers and posters on this blog would speak out about the prevalent personal attacks and off color language. As you said, while you provide it, this blog is actually for the people who read it. It is time that the readers of this blog begin to speak up against the few who lack the manners or intelligence to discuss and debate politics and issues, and start requesting facts to back up defamatory alleged factual allegations.
Should people not have the self control to participate in in an intelligent discussion and act in a manner accepted by the majority of society, I did reserve the option of obtaining the appropriate court orders to get the posters' of certain messages ISP addresses from Google, which I have been informed is possible.
Also, thanks for the gracious offer for the coffee, although I already had a coke.
go for it greg. lets see the names of the cowards that hide behind their anonymity. i for one would love to know who the anonymous person is that has it so bad for lamar.
You assholes who call Lamar a gimp are the same bullies who called me fatty in school. Go to HELL!!!!!!!
Listen up you dumb shit assholes...I'm only gonna say this once.
I don't know if Lamar and Aymond are swaping spit in the shower or not...and it don't matter.
What does matter is that Aymond is a proven liar.
As to Lamar, I haven't caught his young ass in a lie yet, but I do know he's a coward, with a huge mouth. He spins bullshit, not quite lies, but not the full truth either. When you confront him with the factual truth...he runs, changes the subject, or claims that you ain't smart enough to "understand" his silly ass logic.
No, I don't hate Lamar...I just ain't got a damn bit of respect for his silly ass.
Aymond is another story. He's a damn liar, and I hate someone who looks you straight in the face and lies.
Now, I suppose that the fragile among you will take offense of my language...
I DON'T GIVE A SHIT!
I cuss like a damn dockworker because it makes you stupid assholes pay attention and remember what the hell I said....
That a threat Aymond?
researcher,
you are also a proven liar . you said i was lamar. i am not. that makes you a liar.
There are 199 stupid posts that preceed this one.

Yeah assface??? Prove it.
you are too - it takes one to know one - so's your old man - i'm rubber and your glue - sounds like I stumbled into the St. Mary's Training School debate tourney.
researcher, you tell us your real name. i'll reveal mine. we'll see who the real coward is.
