If Fidel Castro Can Resign, So Can Russ Blake; or Must Pocomoke Citizens Wait another 17 Years?
Today Cuba has been freed by the yoke of slavery cast upon it by Dictator in Chief Fidel Castro. Fidel Castor announced today that he is resigning from the office of Supreme Diktator of Kuba and President for Life after clinging to power 49-years.
Dictator Russell Blake, un-elected ruler of Pocomoke City, Maryland for 32-years can take a lesson from Fidel Castro (who like Russ has run his fiefdom with an iron fist) and simply resign.
X-Councilman Honiss Cane whom has had a seat at the table for 22-years without the formality of a second election could learn from Field Castros example.
The actions of X-Councilman Honiss Cane in illegally and immorally clinging to power combined with Dictator and Pocomoke President for Life, Russell Blakes, refusal to close the city’s open air drug market have caused the City government to lose credibility with the people and other government agencies.
Your corruption and evil ways have been exposed removing the small thread of credibility which people claimed for King Blake, that he could fill out a form to obtain free government money… The people have accepted dis-enfranchisement in exchange for crumbs off the government teat.
CITIZENS take a look at the waste land that is called downtown Pocomoke, watch the tumbleweeds blow and look at the empty LOTS, King Blake tore down most of the buildings… Then cruise up Fourth Street to score some refreshing crack cocaine for the family to enjoy… This is the legacy that X-Councilman Cane & City manager for Life Russell Blake have left behind for the citizens.
The time of the iron fist dinosaur is over.
Thank you Mr. Castro for setting a fine example to the leaders of Pocomoke City.

Enough!
Citizens! Quit your jawing! It’s time to put up or shut up!
Let the degenerate streets of P-City show themselves on Kodak color paper!
Let the pictures speak for themselves!
Decent citizens! Send in your pictures of the riff-raff, the degenerate, the aberrant, the culpable, the knavish, the swindlers, and the sinful.
If you have no digital or film camera, then go to your Quickie-Marts! Yes, go to your Quickie-Marts and purchase for small change a disposable camera!
Hide in fear behind your drawn window curtains and peek the camera out to snap a shot of sinful suspicious biz-natch!
Send your pictures in to Pocomoke Tattler and put up the proof!
Or shut up!

Billy and Stephanie,
How in tarnation are folks supposed to email you breaking news stories and titillating pictures if there is no contact form or email address listed?
I’ll give you three guesses and the first two don’t count!
Oh, sweet ears of corn, I see you have your email in your “blogroll” list. Could you perhaps make the email more prominent? And don’t forget about a “contact form” for those who wish to remain anonymous.
Sorry to put you out!
ROTFLMAO!

Richard:
The comment from Mayor McDermott is not complete and out of context bordering a libelous statement.
“Fourth Street is…an ‘Open Air Drug Market’…of…African American pedestrian traffic” -Mayor McDermott
Here is what Mayor McDermott actually wrote:p>
Fourth Street is not an “Open Air Drug Market” unless your definition of such is African American pedestrian traffic.
The few words that were removed really change the meaning of the statement.
We have a policy not to edit but we also want to be accurate.
MAYOR McDERMOTT NEVER MADE THE STATEMENT AS YOU ARE ATTEMPTING TO QUOTE!

Billy,
Thank’s for setting the record straight.
Richard,
I will debate issues and engage in candid discussion. I will not tolerate your misquotes. They are libelous and unacceptable. Your obvious disdain for members of the African American community is quite clear, and your hate speech rhetoric should not be tolerated by any blog site, anywhere.
Grow up or take your own advice.

Mayor McDermott,
I officially apologize for that misquote. I must have made a typo.
But Mayor McDermott, you have now made false allegations against me, namely, that I have “disdain for members of the African American community” and that I engage in “hate speech”.
How dare you!
I expect a full retraction on these libelous comments that you have made against me, immediately!
Sincerely,
Outraged Richard

O’ Dick, That wasn’t a typo. That was creative editing to suit your own purposes. You have a peculiar view of what is right and wrong for others. Perhaps you should review your own personal code.

Mayor McDermott, I will admit that my quote of you was out of context. I attempted to preserve the original intent of your “African American” comment but somewhere along the way the message was…lost.
Mayor McDermott, I firmly believe you are a fair man and that if I slipped on a stray potato on your front sidewalk and sprained my ankle, you would invite me in, bandage the foot, and we would sit down together and split a boiled potato for dinner.
Nevertheless, I find your charge that I have “disdain for members of the African American community” a wordy way of calling me a racist, and I find this accusation to be quite troubling.
First, who gives you the authority to call black folk, “African American”? Jesse Jackson? Al Sharpton? I am mostly German, but I do not consider myself “German-American”. Technically I consider myself an American, though ashamed of it, but I do not tout my Germanic ancestry.
Mayor McDermott, do you have a direct connection into the social pipeline of black folk so that you can affirm that black folk desire to be called African American?
Or is your effort to name black folk correctly a cover up for the reality that Pocomoke City is racially derailed and you’re just tip toeing around to avoid the magnitude of the racial problems in P-City?
Mayor McDermott, you are the so called leader of a place called P-City where blacks live in one part of town and the white people in another and never the twain shall meet.
Again, decent people ask you:
“What is being done to stop racism and racial demographics in Pocomoke City?”
To have a racial divide of people in the same town based on ignorance and hate is absolutely outrageous!
Therefore, Mayor McDermott, you shall be stripped of your title of “Mayor” and be hereafter prefixed, “Mr.”
Indeed, under any other possible circumstances Mr. McDermott would be a dirt farmer growing Irish potatoes, a good and honest living for most men but that every one of Mr. McDermott’s potatoes would surely have the blight.

Sal Richard, don’t you have enough to “root in” up in your “realm” without stirring our dilemma? We can do enough stirring on our own without your help, and who gave you the right to call our abode “P-City”? You’re just a self-serving meddler who uses his talent for word manipulation to get off at other “folks” expense. You have no power to strip anyone of anything.

Sorry, I meant “Sow”. Typo.

“…who gave you the right to call our abode ‘P-City’?”
That’s what the people of Pocomoke City call it - check the posts and forums here.
Yet Mr. McDermott’s “Racial Appeasement Team” comes up with the derogatory term “African American”, even though black folk don’t call themselves that.
“You’re just a self-serving meddler who uses his talent for word manipulation…”
How about this for word manipulation:
Mr. McDermott,
What is being done to stop racism and racial demographics in Pocomoke City?
To have a racial divide of people in the same town based on ignorance and hate is absolutely outrageous!

Is Russ Blake a Board Member of the “Racial Appeasement Team”?
posted on: Sunday, February 24th, 2008 @ 6:39 pm
Stephany, I do not have an complete list of members of Mr. McDermott’s Racial Apeasment Team.
That being said, I would not be surprised if Mr. Blake was a member of said such group.
Might I add, Mr. McDermott still does not responded to what improvements and or changes are being undertaken to P-City’s racial divide.
