Scotch And Tequila At Civic Associaton Meeting

062907northeastphilly.png
There's trouble a-brewin' in Northwood. The Near Northeast Philly neighborhood had a rather contentious Civic Association meeting last week.

Things got bad when the board attempted to read the minutes. There's a split in the Northwood Civic Association board, with all but one member against president Joe Menkevich. The rest of the board wants to change the bylaws to impeach him. After Menkevich began to get angry, another board member responded with this:

"The board of directors voted for you to sit down."

Ha ha, ICE BURN! Menkevich wasn't taking this sitting down, though. He attempted to not only disrupt the meeting, but turn this civic association meeting into an all-night party as well.

The embattled president loudly responded, "This meeting’s illegal." Menkevich threw the paper ballots on the variance question on the floor. He later picked them up and handed them to people at their tables. [...]

Menkevich’s allies were taken aback at the board majority’s actions. "This is a dictatorship," [a supporter] said before walking out of the meeting. Menkevich, who will likely resign before an impeachment attempt, invited his supporters back to his Castor Avenue home for tequila, beer and scotch.

Whoo! Free beer! I gotta start attending more civic association meetings.

A leader who posted a National Vanguard link on an Internet bulletin board is eventually viewed as a liability? Gee, what are the odds?

Dear Readers,

The sniveling & the wimpy of Philly just can't tell the truth. I thought they were full of sh!t then and you still are:

http://www.phillyblog.com/philly/showpost.php?p=381721&postcount=97

It appears to me that the real racists, the ones to be really feared, already run the City of Brothers-ly Love.

Is It a Conspiracy Plot?

OR

A Twilight Zone Episode:

A new team has been formed to persecute, prevent & punish "free thought" of opposing opinion when is posted on Philly Blog. (It could be Political.)

Representative Chaka Fattah + cop killer, Abu Mumia Jamal + (PhillyBloggers "SeanD" & "looking italian") + Mike Bane of the NCA Board of Directors, (like Mumia, Bane is also a Radio Show Personality) http://www.wrdv.org/photos/MikeBane.html
Bane is also Militant about guns and his Rights http://armedpassengers.org/

The above team of psudo intelligentsia, using Philly Blog Postings as evidence, have managed a takeover and have accused the NCA-President of "verbal abuse, profanities, racism, name-calling and personal attacks."

The Team planned to Impeach Menkevich & Director Williams, by enacting Ex-Post Facto changes of the NCA By-Laws.

How did they accomplish their goal? They all got together by sending "private messages," and plotted the take over of the Northwood Civic Association.

Not having been able to recognize it or prevent it, I must have been drunk from previous Civic meetings. It's all my fault!

Enter Alex Talmage Esq. (another Mumia supporter who loves playing with a full deck of race cards, a former opponent of Lynn Abraham) has been "hired" to represent the Vandals that sacked the Northwood Civic Association. He took the job pro-bono!

This is just the beginning of the edge of the Twlight Zone.

The Lesson to be learned:

Never Post on the Internet using your real name. It’s easier that way, and the hangovers don’t hurt as much.

The Truth is it will take a lot more Scotch, Tequila and Beer before it's over. OUCH!
