Some Mysteries of Common Sense For Lower Merion

Lower Merion school officials just don’t get it. Defensive in nature since the beginning of the Spygate scandal, they know say that a second lawsuit filed by a student whose privacy was allegedly invaded by a web camera, “is not the way to go”, considering action taken to prevent it from happening again.

First of all, anyone has the right to get justice for alleged improprieties. Lower Merion has always been a silk stocking district where nothing can ever go wrong. The Police Department in that community has a horrid history of dealing with candor with the media. I know this. I witnessed it. A call to Lower Merion police was like a call to some country trying to hide state secrets. So the reaction from the fumbling school district was no surprise. The township’s leaders are top flight. Some have extraordinary vision for their community. But it is time they took a look at the school system to find out why a great township has been embarrassed by a school administration that appears to have mishandled the spying, and certainly mishandled the aftermath.

A few months ago, on assignment in England, I was constantly asked, “Are you from Philadelphia? That’s where they use computer cameras to spy on students, right?”

Well, we all know it’s not that simple. But people sometimes read headlines, and they get images from reading those headlines. This is not good.

There’s another important factor here. Students are rarely taught the keys to communication in real-life experiences. The example set by the school district is not a good one.

The School Board might consider acting with more vigor to erase this negative imagery in what is one of the finer school districts in the region.

    I am not certain what the complaint is here, the fact that the schoold district regrets that another student has decided to sue over the same issue of privacy violation? Why not just join the Class Action? Has either student been “damaged” in some way (prior of course to their own generated publicity)?

    The LMSD obviously had a problem and/or made mistakes. I am not certain they really have dealt with it appropriately. They could use a PR consultant.

    But further expense to be dumped on the taxpayers is counter productive (and NO, I am not a resident of LM)!

    Silk Stocking School Distict! Wow, that’s rich. What would you call Chester Upland School District Larry? Who even uses the term silk stocking anymore? It’s kind of like white shoe law firm.

    Who besides Larry Kane and a bunch of anal retentive Jews who like to sue each other cares about the Lower Merion spygate scandal?

    Larry I don’t want to rain on your parade but I attended a school which had a number of Jews. In fact they called it Marple Jewtown, although there weren’t that many Jews. It only seemed like there were. I don’t want to say that they create problems but their propensity to litagate every situation is beyond belief. In fact I went to a Jewish golf course to play a match and it was unreal. Ashborne Country Club held team matches. When the match was over we went into the 19th hole. All within two feet you could smoke at the bar but not at a table which stood next to the bar. If you were playing cards at a table smoking was permitted, but you couldn’t have a drink. Needless to say the members sold the club………

    Another regurgitated nonstory from Larry with the same BS quote about people in England ask him about this so-called story. You should be ashamed of re-running this BS story, Larry. It was never news. It’s total BS. You must be a card carrying member of the ACLU.

    Larry you worked at CBS3. Isn’t that where the news anchors spy on each other? What an example. You also forgot that Lower Merion graduated Kobe Bryant, basketball rapist extraordinaire. Maybe Tiger Woods, Kobe, and the Lower Merion School Board could get together for some fish sandwiches and a talk about how to do PR damage control after screwing people.

    Larry isn’t it Ed Rendell’s law firm Ballard Spahr that is defending the school district? I’m sure that’s costing a mint. And didn’t Josh Shapiro work there with Ed Rendell? The plot thickens . . . .

    Saw Obama on the View today. Could this guy get anymore blantent in his pandering to the masses? The two black girls looked upon Obama as if he were Jesus Christ himself. The fat white broad looked as if she finally had gotten that orgasum which had eluded her all of her life. The good looking white chick thought she was Barbra Walters, and Barbra Walters thought she had died and gone to heaven…. She is dead isn’t she?

  13. Todd Bridges
    July 29th, 2010 | 9:39 pm

    Obama officially jumped the shark today on the View. As a black man, I’m home during the work day and usually smoke weed while watching daytime TV. AT first I thought it was the weed, but it was really strange to see him talking about what’s on his ipod and what shows Michelle watches. I wasnt surprised she watched TV all day too, but man he’s the president of the United States and he’s hanging out with woman on a couch in the middle of the day. Did he forget there are two wars, a man made disater in the gulf, Iran with nuclear weapons, a nut job in north Korea, and 9.5% unemployment, with closer to 20% black unemployment? I guess with so many out of work he knew the ratings would be good in the middle of the day. He seemed like a brother who is worried that nobody likes him as much as they use to, pretty sad stuff. Barrack Obama -Healer in Chief!

    Big Clinton wedding this weekend,
    can’t wait to hear Larry gush like a
    school girl. So I guess Bill got Marjorie
    to vote for ’94 tax hike by arranging for
    Chelsea to marry her son. Not a bad deal,
    she was voted out of office and her husband
    became a convicted felon, so it was good she
    made that deal back when she had some currency
    and good looks to interest Bill.

    July 30th, 2010 | 12:08 pm

    That skinny assed (half) honky/cracker should have appeared on my show instead of that manufactured femme love fest abortion, The View. For daytime entertainment and a smear of incest and unorthodox sex practices what better show than mine is there? I have a big couch and room enough to jump up and down on. I think Obama looked like he had a pole up his butt while sitting on the View’s couch. even with his skinny ass. Didn’t Obama see me at his swearing in ceremony with tears streaming down my face? I campaigned for him for gosh sake. Is it too little to ask that he makes the first appearence of a president on a daytime shoe The Oprah Show? I think nahhhhh aaaht. For an encore I hear he’s going on General Hospital and discuss our health care bill.

  19. Michelle Obama
    July 30th, 2010 | 12:14 pm

    Released today- surprise, Phildelphia is not
    on it. A city of losers, run by losers and
    Ruined by losers. Very sad state of affairs.

    As Larry sits in his underwear masturbating in the privacy of his living room while watching the previously recorded Voice of Reason, millions of Delaware Valley residents continue to ponder the eternal topic, “Some Mysteries of Common Sense For Lower Merion”. This is such a fresh and important topic that it takes 7-8 full days to fully absorb the intricacies of this subject and give it the proper time to be thoroughly dissected and analyzed.

    I know Larry Kane. I’ve sat through many a rubber chicken dinner with Larry. I never noticed a hairy palm or his going blind. I will pay more attention next time.
    As the government allows more legal aliens to infiltrate the highest levels of government in critical positions is it any wonder that this completely inept President would be fighting tougher illegal alien legislature at the state level? Pantload. Panderer in Chief. Hail to the Thief! Stealing America away from us one bit of legislature at a time.
    November will be interesting. Voters want a total turnover in Congress. Both parties catapulted out of their cushy Georgetown condos. Both parties sent packing. They are looking for “people’s candidates”. They look to the Tea Party to provide what neither party can provide. Legislators that listen to the people not their party leadership. Legislators that will undo the bad legislation of the last 25 years. Legislators that will enact resonsible laws on issues the people truly care about.

    Biden/Tatu in 2012! De plane! De plane!

    Some mysteries of common sense for Larry Kane:
    1) Duration of posts exceed interest level of topic. There is no logic in extended topic post periods.
    2) Recycled topics were completely the exhausted first time around. There is no logic in recycling.
    3) Strictly parochial issues maybe of interest to you but not the British or your website community. There is no logic in Philadelphia only topics.
    4) Obituaries are a gracious and fitting epilogue to a person’s life. There is no logic in using this space for non-argumentative subject matter.
    5) There is a pervasive unrest and dissatifaction with the President and his majority party. There is no logic in propping up this puppet regime.
    6) The Beatles broke up 30 years ago. Their music is only played on oldies station. An entire generation of Americans has no idea who they are. There is no logic in continuously bringing these dinosaurs from another time into this column.
    I must draw the conclusion that, you sir, are out of touch with reality and an anachronism from another time.

    Ah, Gene, shine on you crazy diamond. I remember those long evenings with you in the conversation pit at your pad, enhanced by some native plant species that you kept smoking in a water pipe. Fascinating.

    These days I’ve moved on. Mr. Sooloo and I have a place in the Castro in San Francisco. I minister to the whales, and he takes care of the slender young men. It is entirely logical, although I did find it disturbing when his twin from the evil alternate universe showed up with a samurai sword and chopped at my tallywhacker. I gave him a nerve pinch and a full body massage (he was ripped).

    Then we had the Beatles over, and some dork journalist kept trying to follow them into the rumpus room with us.

    Ah the natives seem restless as of late. The oil leak has been stopped, Shirley Sherrod has been redeemed, and Obama is out on the trail selling his accomplishments over the last 20 months. Why even Chelsea Clinton got married this weekend. This must be the start of the dog days of summer (no pun intended Chelsea). I thought it was funny though that the biggest celebrity at her wedding was Ted Danson. And they closed the airspace over the town for what? Oh yeah Steven Spielberg and Oprah were rumored to be there but just like Bill Clinton himself it was all hot air. I wonder if they let the groom’s father out of jail for the ceremony? Sounds a bit like an Arkansas wedding to me. Bill’s brother was there but had some bad coke in his system so he missed the Idos but not the reception. It was also the first time I’ve ever seen Hillary in a dress. No comment on whether Jed Clampet and Granny were there but with 600 attendees I would think so. In fact I wouldn’t be surprised if Larry Kane was there……….. Friend of the groom you know.

    August 2nd, 2010 | 1:41 pm

    Bloomberg News is reporting that Scotland Yard has
    taken a keen interest in Lower Merion Spygate.
    Appaertly it was Larry Kane’s keen eye for a real
    Interbational scandal that got them interested.
    The Russian government wants to know why we are
    detaining and deporting their international spys when
    we have a serious domestic spying problem in the
    Lower Merion School Distict.

  37. Gene Roddenberry
    August 2nd, 2010 | 1:56 pm

    One has to wonder if the wedding was of the shotgun variety. Perhaps Bill and Hill sold Chelsea to the high bidder. It hasn’t been the same for them since Whitewater.

  38. Dr Spock

    Given the homely appearance of Ms Clinton, it would be logical to assume that someone put a gun to the groom’s head.

  39. Mr. Spork
    August 2nd, 2010 | 5:06 pm

    It was a package deal of course. The groom gets a Chelsea Clinton and a Monica Lewinsky.

    Wasn’t it the surge in Iraq that Bush enacted
    and Obama opposed the reason troops are returning
    with the dignity of not having cut and run, as
    Obama proposed. Grabby credit for success in Iraq
    is going to backfire-big time- as Chaney might say.

    Barack stumping for 2010 re-election Democrats is like George W Bush campaigning for 2010 GOP re-elections. Oil and water. Sorry Barack for the Gulf Disaster fiasco reference. Another utter failure. Barack trying to keep one promise before 2010 elections – cut and run from Iraq. He’s even screwed the pooch on that. This guy is a complete pantload. Emptysuit. Commander in Thief.
    Despite the fact that the high and mighty and self-righteous Lord Abott (aka Todd Bridges aka BK Whaler aka Fernado Lamas aka several other aliases) has proclaimed me a bigoted racist that is not really the case. He is as wrong on that matter as he is on most topics. Much like his new found love interest Larry. Perhaps LA should be meeting Larry at the Parrott. Maybe not if the Yankee Air Pirate has condemned the Parrott. I’m sure you two can find a special place in cyberworld.
    Barack is either oblivious to all the bad press he’s received or is the ultimate dictator believing he is doing what is best for the country. In either case he’s dead wrong. Please go dormant you lame duck president. Use the next 2 years to visit the world with your family and work on your college tour speaking engagements. YOU ARE DONE!

    I don’t take the train into DC anymore. Too much of a security risk I’m told. They send me off to Grand Forks AFB routinely for security purposes. My ability to frequent local restaurants and bars has been dinished in the name of security. Fundamentally my life sucks in the name of security.
    Because Barack has turned out to be a complete pantload and alienated so many people they are trying to protect me as heir to the presidency. I doubt that anyone will put a cap in Barack’s ass. I think they are overly concerned about his well being. He’ll be out in 2012 if he doesn’t get impeached sooner. I will be voted into office in 2012 and Tatu and I will be benevolent leaders. I wonder if Tatu’s country of origing will be an issue. He was born in France. I guess Barack being born in Indonesia wasn’t a problem so Tatu being born in France shouldn’t be an issue either. Then again he is French.
    As President I plan to roll back taxes and invest in industry. A far cry from what the emptysuit in office is doing. I’ll create jobs and promote personal spending which will get this country moving forward again. The entire country is mulling over the future waiting for the end of this regime. The end of an error. The beginning of a new brighter period without socialism and industry takeovers. Without unnecessary regulation and intrusion. In short a return to America.

    Has any one who reads the Phila Inquirer noticed lately how anti-government they have become? First it was Arlene Akerman of the Phila school district and her gigantic salary, then it was the shananagans going on at the DRPA, now it’s the DROP program on the chopping block. Lame duck Ed Rendell who was instrumental in the DRPA and the Drop program is now telling us it was all his fault, and now that he is on his way out the door he’s going to fix everything.
    Today in the Inquirer they did a story on the head of section 8 housing in Phila. The man in charge of poverty housing is making over 400 thousand a year which includes 6 weeks vacation and a car plus 11 holidays. I ask you fine people out there today, where was all this fine reporting when someone actually read that stinking fish wrap of a newspaper……..?

  57. Ed

    Ed and Larry like to wrap fish in
    newspapers. Do they time travel back
    to 1930s and buy their seafood down at
    the Reading Terminal market where its
    deliveried via steam locomotive?

    Ed of course is right in his other points,
    he usually gets it right but has an odd
    way of communicating. VP Joe seems to really
    like the sound of his own keystrokes.
    What’s with Tatu? Is that a fantasy island
    reference?

    47 House Republicans just signed HOUR 1553,
    Unequivocal support for Israel to use all
    Means necessary to attack Iran. A blank check
    for endless war, and putting the U.S. On

    Lord Abott reminds me of that duck. The AFLAC duck. He spends all his time quacking himself up but no one pays attention to him or even remembers him. He is very frustrated by the lack of attention and respect. He responds by trying even harder to gain attention but alas the same result. He then gets angry and lashes out against poor characters like Ed or Fish. This is not a logical reaction to rejection to one’s ideas. A more logical reaction would be to rethink one’s ideas, be more in line with mainstream thinking and be less narcissistic.

    Wow we gone from spaced out leaders like Barack to leaders from space. This website really does come full circle.
    Listen I don’t have much time this morning. I have to make my points and move on. I’m a very important guy. Numero Dos. Wing man. Second in Command. You get my drift.
    It is amazing how the gulf oil disaster story is now second section news in the paper. Buried behind meaningless SEPTA and LMSD and Chelsea Clinton drivel in the Inquirer. As soon as Tony Hayward was gone and the cap sealed the leak it was no longer an interesting story? No longer compelling? Are we now more concerned with the Clinton wedding guest list and honeymoon plans? Has Prince Charles demanded an inquest on LMSD spying and the potential harmful effects on the Colonists? Has SEPTA cleaned up the graffiti and chicken bones?
    I guess the Gulf cleanup story is only of interest to the people of the Gulf. All this skimmer and separation talk is not compelling. Eco disaster limited to a 4 state area that brought you Deliverance. Suuuuuuuuuuy.
    We can do better in America. I will shine the light on wanton spending and corruption in government. I will be the beacon of light much like the Statue of Liberty leading the good fight. Follow me out of the darkness of the last 2 years and into a brighter future for all Americans.

    Biden/Tatu in 2012! A beacon of light that F. Scott Fitzgerald would have been proud of.

    VP Joe seems to be unraveling a bit. His morning tirades lack the glue that once held this man’s “thoughts of the day” together. Has Obama finally gotten to him? Every day it’s Obama appearing somewhere on national TV defending his actions in the Oval office. Obama wrote two autobiographies before he even became president. Can you imagine what he’ll be writing once he is out of office? And what will VP Joe be doing? Maybe he’ll become the Numero Dos Equis Man. By then that “most interesting man in the world” might be dead. Could you imagine if Larry had a title? “The most abused man on philly.com” sounds about right.

    How about that brother that went off at the beer distributor killing white people because he thought his firing was racially motivated. Video evidence of him stealing and the offer to resign without prosecution seemed like a sweet deal. I doubt a white employee could have gotten such treatment, it was overly racially sensitive, yet eight innocent people are dead. Should whites who speak out against Obama fear being shot dead as racist? It’s a pretty scary prospect to have to live in such fear of racial intimidation.

    Obama has made too much of race as president. He thought he was brining people together but instead will become the whipping boy for reverse descrimination, and its really going to cost him in November. White people who never did anything to disadvantage whites, and that’s the bulk of white voters, didnt think this could happen, and thats why his poll numbers are so bad. He’s not who the swing voters thought he was, and they are going to make that crystal clear.

    Gay mariage anyone? That will be front and center in november, 70% of country is against, but we’re going to have it anyway. People are not going to take this anymore. Gay and black issues will cost obama his presidency, pretty ironic, he really had a window to be a different Democrat. He only had to govern the way the people wanted, they were willing to give him a pass on the problems he inheritted, he’s just not tuned into Joe six pack.

    Unravelling? Unravelling? Say it isn’t so Ed. Where do you draw that conclusion from?
    It IS ironic that the minority thinking now runs America. A vast majority is against gay marriage but we get it anyway. A vast majority is against rights for illegal aliens but we get them anyway. A vast majority is against government run healthcare but we get it anyway. How can this be in a government run by majority votes? Panderering. P-A-N-D-E-R-E-R-I-N-G spells pandering. Is a name that a shame never has been connected with Panderer, that’s he!
    I see the liberal press (and soon our Larry no doubt) are going after Mother of the Year Sarah Palin again. Since when did Sarah Palin become the designated spokesperson for conservative America (or Rush Limbaugh for that matter). She will become John McCain’s legacy. A desperate old man in need of votes going to Alaska of all places to in hopes of finding a fresh face to help him win. How did that turn out John? Now we all have you from releasing SP from underneath her rock.
    It’s about time for the Secret Service to takeover Nantucket so the Obamas can visit for a week. They must feel as out of place in Nantucket as Fast Eddie does in Harrisburg. Don’t forget the SP30 sunscreen and Owen Wilson movie rentals.
    Barack Obama – The Obamanation of America will be his next book title. Scheduled for release in January 2012.

    Nantucket is no place for the Obamas!
    Perhaps it will give them a wake up call.
    Is the massacre at the beer distruter a
    teachable moment? Sadly I don’t think so,
    Teachable moments only occur when Obama
    deems them.

    Thanks everyone for all of the accolades
    and attention, its great to be loved by
    so many who write here. Man love, Bro-mance
    Whatetever you guys want to call it, I
    really appreciate your admiration!

    Curious. Why would the American President take his family to remote island with a slower pace of living? It is counter intuitive and cultural to his fast paced, urban style. This is not logical behavior. It would be more logical that he would take his family to Chicago for vacation. I do not understand the human mind.

    The guy who shot those decent, law-abiding gainfully-employed white folks at the beer distributor was none other than BARACK OBAMA HIMSELF. He had dark skin. Are we going to split hairs? And the fact that he shot himself? Not true. That was a hoax so he could be whisked away by his secret racist brownshirts in the Secret Service. Tell me it isn’t true. I dare you. Now you know the true story. Obama hates whitey. He’s killed a lot of whites already and tried to legislate death panels from the executive branch to kill more whites. He’s going to open the Mexican border, let all the Muslims and brown people in, force white women to have babies of brown-skinned men, and use the Bible as toilet paper. I’ve seen it all, as if in a dream. This is why they pay me the big bucks.

    Well, Leo is back, playing his favorite
    commentator Glen Beck. Its funny how much
    liberals fear Beck. Just the thought that
    he might mention Shirlley Sherrod casued the
    Obama woo tang clan, to fire her without due
    process. The same administration that wants to
    try foreign terrorists in NYC, is will to
    fire a black woman without proper investigation,
    or due process, just tell her to pull her car over
    and email in her resignation.

    There is no doubt who the real
    Brownshirts are Leo, and you carry their
    water, like a dopey washed up burnt out
    hippie. Don’t stub your toe in those sandals,or
    choke yourself on your beads.

    Most of you are probably wondering when I’m going to get off Barack’s back. Well it’s tough because he’s my boss and he gives me my daily duties. I see him everyday freakin day. He grates on me. I am resentful. This pantload who has never done a damn thing in his life is my boss.
    Well today I’m off Barack and onto Michelle. Chelle Chelle. Donkey Zone. Amazon. WNBA. Mrs Pantload decides she needs a european vacation before her Nantucket vacation. She decides to take one daughter with her to Spain while the other is away at summer camp. She travels with an entourage of 65 friends and aides and servants. They are staying at a $2500 per room per night resort. This boondoggle at the taxpayers expense is estimated to cost us $500K when all is said and done. Millions of people out of work and Chelle Chelle is planning a royal Mediterrean vacation. Unfreakin believable.
    You can tell who wears the pants in that family.

    Biden/Tatu in 2012! We all know who wears the pants in my family!

    The European vaction is pretty stunning. The nonesense about how they are paying their own way is a joke, are the Obama’s picking up the tab for secret service rooms and the rest of chelle chelle’s entourage? I be her hairdresser and assitants have pretty nice rooms at tax payer expense.

    It’s no sin to go on vacation, but this one is a red herring. Looks like plain jane michelle has gotten bitten by the Amorossa African Queen mosquito. Very bad PR decsion, if working class white people were already fading, this trip is going to push em away in droves. The trip is another political misstep in what is now a pattern. If the Bush girls were ever taking such a trip with Laura we’d be hearing about fat cat bla bla bla. Liberals are so tone deaf that they dont even see the problem with the trip, its an entitlement, just like the ones they’ve gotten all their lives.

    From craddle to grave, many blacks under the age of 50 will never have had to pay for healthcare, maturnity care, college tuition, food, housing, and even burial.
    The entitlement mentality of the welfare state created in the 1960s by guilt ridden white liberals is all that Michelle and Barrack have ever known, and they really really like it! Now they are going to expand it to the middle class ,that way with about half the population taking and only half paying the tab via taxes its much more likely for them to achieve a tansformation to socialism before anyone reallly notices or can stop it. November election is only about 100 days away- the Amorosa trip to Spain will still be fresh in some of our minds!

    I think we all should face the fact that Larry will no longer be part of his own blog. It has taken a while but in the end I believe it is best for all concerned. I mean what has Larry done to advance the national discourse on social and political issues? Some of you might say he has kept the Beatles alive for those of us who could care less, and his passion for free air at the local gas stations merits some kudos, if you don’t have a Wawa near your home (Wawa has free air). Aside from that Larry pretty much buries his head in the world of make believe. Like make believe the computer problem at Lower Merion matters to anyone besides the lawyers and plaintiffs involved. Make believe Joe Sestak has a chance in hell to get elected. Unless some kind of miracle happens between now and November 2nd Joe will be back on a boat, a slow boat to oblivion.
    Maybe it’s Obama or maybe it’s me, but I just don’t get it any more. I always feared the slippery slope theory and boy oh boy do I feel like I’m sliding down a long banister which has no bottom. The polarized nature of our society is going to cripple this nation. The rich keep getting richer the poor keep getting more entitlemnts and the middle class keep getting the shaft. I guess if you think about it, the middle class has only been around since the mid fifties. It peaked during the mid seventies and has been on a slippery slope ever since. Hot wax anyone, although I don’t think you’ll need it? We’re sliding fast enough as it is already. Thank you Mr Obama and friends………

    Ed, you hit a homerun with this line:
    “The rich keep getting richer the poor keep getting more entitlemnts and the middle class keep getting the shaft.”
    Knocked it right out of the park. The only thing missing is that the Middle Class worked and paid for it. Can I quote you on this line? Why can LeasureSuit Larry ever come up with anything this succinct or profound? Senility? Indifference? Liberalitis?

    A list of the 10 top reasons why Chelle Chelle should be able to take daughter to Spain with 9 year old Sasha has surfaced in DC:
    10. You can’t find a good bull fight in the US anymore (except in Congress of course)
    9. Sasha is trying to decide which foreign language to take in Middle School. Spanish is on her short list.
    8. Chelle Chelle is trying to show Sasha that all spanish speaking people are not illegal aliens.
    7. Chelle Chelle got a hankering for Tapas and Sangria.
    6. They want to run with the bulls in Pamalona (sorry you are too late).
    5. Secret Service agents have been complaining about lack of overtime and road trips.
    4. They are searching for the ultimate taco (sorry won’t find that in Spain).
    3. Luxury hotels on the Costa del Oro are running discounts for week long stays. Down to $2500 a room per night.
    2. So many places to shop and so little time left (28 months until US regime change).
    1. After porkulus stimulus and government run healthcare bills, there is very little money left in the US Treasury tills. It will run out sometime in 2011. Got to get all the bondoggle trips out of the way in 2010.
    Hasta la vista, Chelle Chelle!
