The Most Terrifying Rumor in Radnor

2009-11-06T08:12:00.004-05:00

Better look lively Radnor. Rumor has it that the quid pro quo for Bill Spingler working for candidates to get Radnor a Democratic Majority is he gets to be Prez come January? That is a horrifying thought....Hmmmmm, better not let that happen....all the progress will go right out of Radnor....Not that any of this is unexpected, is it? After all, Bill Spingler never does anything unless

Up In the Clouds of Delusion: Delco Republican Party Chairman Tom Judge

2009-11-05T13:29:00.005-05:00

Delco Republican Party Chairman Tom Judge said he was shocked by the Republicans’ loss in Radnor....“They were out campaigning every night,” he said. “There was no break, they were there and I certainly appreciate it. The committee people got the vote out and that’s the most important thing.”HUH????? That IS the stupidest thing I ever heard. Seriously, did he see the crap the Radnor Republicans

Who is Watching Us Eat on The Main Line?

2009-11-04T20:26:00.005-05:00

Ok even more super creepy then a cyberstalker, is this little thing in Philadelphia Magazine for November, 2009 in their PulseChatter on page 24 which talks about hidden cameras in upscale restaurants including an unnamed Main Line Restaurant. Ok yes, it sounds like a bad episode of "Cheaters" but seriously, if people aren't supposed to record your conversation without permission, what about

Just Snarky Has A Cyberstalker!

2009-11-04T12:05:00.011-05:00

Well blog faithful, I thought I would point out that for some reason unknown to me, people claiming to be Lisa Paolino and Michael Sembello seem obsessed...with my blog? Seriously aren't they supposed to be busy saving the world or something? Shouldn't they be on a honeymoon canoodling somewhere?On October 14th, I put up a post about something in a local magazine that made me giggle. It was kind

Did The South Rise Again in Radnor?

2009-11-04T10:55:00.006-05:00

I swear I thought I was seeing things this morning when I tapped into Main Line Suburban Life this morning. Oh to be a fly on the wall in Mimi Auchincloss's house...too funny....her sign blitzes, nasty campaign literature, her candidates....All "Gone With The Wind"....Yes, it's true the only victories the Radnor Republicans had in the commissioner races were where the candidates were unopposed.

We've Come A Long Way, Baby...But Septa Hasn't

2009-11-03T08:04:00.005-05:00

Well good morning all! It's a beautiful day outside, so you have no excuse not to vote today, right? Unless of course you count on Septa to get where you're going, but I will get to that in a sec.In Radnor, it's a brave new world out there - hopefully people will have enough sense to take advantage of it and tune out the noise of some who offer nothing, yet criticize everything? I look at this

Lisa Paolino Needs Free Publicity, Comes To Blogger To Announce Wedding?

2009-10-30T10:04:00.013-04:00

Well, I have been getting comments today on a post I wrote 2 weeks ago called "I Can't Resist".It was a little funny thing, and it was rather brief, and I stopped thinking about it. Well apparently the ever neurotic self-aggrandizing Lisa Paolino is STILL reading about herself. She wants to remain in our minds so she is posting comments like she is Michael Sembello (because if it's him posting

jon and kate visit norristown...how exciting (NOT)

2009-10-27T15:05:00.008-04:00

So, someone sent me a screenshot of the docket for this case...ho hum. Just like any other divorce proceeding...truly not so special...but damn, seedy old Norristown probably has not seen so many tabloid reporters since Susan Tabas Tepper bonked the nanny with organic veggies, right?But the idea of like TMZ and all those others on the steps of the courthouse in Norristown with decay and bail bond

Hey New York! Is This The Best You Can Do?

2009-10-27T14:52:00.005-04:00

Funny in a pathetic-grasping-at-straws-the-real-housewives-don't-watch-baseball-kind of way....sigh...who woulda thought the NY Post would slip after all these years? That in and of itself is a major bummer...oh well...I guess they can't say anymore what an asshole A-Rod is right? How dude can't keep it in his pants? Of course A Rod getting a hummer in the locker room would make a terrific visual

WANTED: Information on Dog Murderers in Chester County, PA

U.S. News UPI-Missing dogs found shot to death in Pa.I am sick, just sick I tell you. I heard this on the news last night. Who would murder two young family dogs execution style? What is wrong with people? Emma, 1 1/2, a liver and white German Shorthaired Pointer, and Luna, 2, a black pointer mix were reported missing right away from their home ( a farm) and found dead later.

SEPTA = ASSHOLES

2009-10-26T08:48:00.013-04:00

Poor Philly bus drivers haven’t had a raise in 10 months...Philadelphia (which SEPTA covers) will host the New York Yankees for Games 3 and 4 on Saturday and Sunday. The local’s president is Willie Brown.From the AP story: “Brown said he hoped a walkout would not affect the series, but he said workers have been without a contract since March and have not had a raise since December.”No raise since

Good Things DO Happen: Russell A. Pritchard To Get MORE Jail Time

2009-10-23T16:00:00.005-04:00

Russ Pritchard is a thieving, lying, cheating, stealing son of a bitch. Once upon a time he was on Antiques Roadshow. He lived on the Main Line - 311 MILLBANK RDBRYN MAWR, PA 19010 . Then for a while, according to court dockets in Montgomery County he lived at 1208 S BEACH AVENUE BEACH HAVEN, NJ 08008. One of his lawyers used to be a dude named Craig Kellerman, and does he live in Radnor? But on

Oh Hello? T.J. Simers? How About Those Phillies Now?

2009-10-22T17:02:00.012-04:00

So once upon a time there was this nasty bitch of a columnist from L.A. that one could hardly call one of the beautiful people. His name was T.J. Simers.Now T.J. was a little pissy 'cause he's kind of frumpy. And well, his baseball team sucks lemons. (Or since it's California, maybe oranges?) Anyway, T.J. has been having a bad year - Michael Jackson dying and all. So he decided to take his mood

Old & Cranky, Time For Spanky?

2009-10-20T20:44:00.005-04:00

Now, normally I don't comment about what other bloggers write - it's their right, their thought process. But damn it's getting dull out there with PhillyFoibles disappearing faster then Delco Tom Paine on steroids for who knows why.I have been quietly following all the drama over on the SAC site. Most of the drama I agree with, but some of it I just don't get. So they are having this whole

Trick or Treat in Radnor!

2009-10-17T16:10:00.005-04:00

Get set for Halloween, those ghouls and goblins, they will be a door knockin'! And oh yeah...the wannabe politicians too.....

Election Season in Radnor ....Pass The Excedrin

2009-10-15T10:07:00.009-04:00

The forum of boredom the other night was illuminating and mind numbing all at the same time. It's like they were trying to hypnotize us with inanity. Stand outs for all the wrong reasons were Elaine Paul Schaeffer and Ernie Shapiro. Elaine Paul Schaeffer has the most irritating speech patterns. A sing song little girl voice and everything sounds like a timid question. Her whole shtick is "vote

I can't resist...

2009-10-14T17:01:00.004-04:00

So the other Main Line magazine, as in MAINLINE, is showing some wit and I completely forgot to mention it....it is there ML Ins and Outs...here is a slection of what they are inning and outing:ML Ins and OutsIN Starf***sYou say, “restraining order.” We say, “playing hard to get.” Philly may be building quite the roster of feature films shot on location but we certainly can’t seem to adopt a

Bye Bye Dorothy June !!!

Too bad she isn't going to jail.Posted on Wed, Oct. 14, 2009 Board, founder of Agora Cyber Charter resignBy Martha Woodall Inquirer Staff WriterThe board of the embattled Agora Cyber Charter School in Devon has bowed to pressure and, as part of a settlement agreement, resigned en masse.During a special meeting last night, the board also voted to cut all ties with veteran educator

Hotlanta Hookers: Real Housewives of Atlanta

2009-10-13T17:25:00.003-04:00

They have all, single-handedly rejuvenated the wig industry. It's not just yo granny's wig anymore...they are more mind-numbing then the OC crew. Maybe we've had enough of the Real Housewives? I am kinda missing Queer Eye for The Straight Guy myself...I guess I just know Southern women who aren't so trashy, and they are preferable to these bitches.Honestly, they are so bad they could be living on

Radnor Township? How Stupid Art Thou? Let Me Count The Ways...

2009-10-13T11:54:00.007-04:00

That entire, painfully long meeting last night was a study in sheer stupidity...Here is the meeting agenda and Cliff Notes, here is the link on Radnor's website. ...Top Douche Bag of the night was once again Bill Spingler. He is stepping into the dearly departed Lisa Paolino's high heels quite nicely I think. He was followed closely by that Malloy - and that is just wrong since taxpayers pay him

Greedy Bastard Marshall Convicted in Astor Case

2009-10-09T14:34:00.008-04:00

I don't think I ever wrote about Brooke Astor and I should have. She was kind of "it" as far as high society goes, and her last days were apparently very nasty because of her son. (Read NY Social Diary HERE for an interesting and well written account).Vanity Fair Magazine has a wonderful collection of All Things Brooke, and the late great Dominick Dunne wrote about it in 2006 in a piece called

Target Tierney?

2009-10-09T14:03:00.005-04:00

It seems that the wannabe King of All Media has met his match? It seems the drama increases over the fate of the Philadelphia Inquirer, and they mean "bidness" when it comes to Brian Tierney?It seems that Brian has spun himself into a monogrammed corner? The creditors are circling and people are actually cheering the vultures? WOW.Media Decoder from The New York Times says:October 9, 2009, 12:33

Should I bring an hors d'œuvre?

2009-10-06T15:26:00.006-04:00

Honestly, must Radnor make it so easy? Why do they hold these little things minutes from an election? So an anonymous comment led me to a couple inquiries and an invitation:Should I bring an hors d'œuvre? I checked Round Radnor, but still can't tell....Comments, anyone? I know not so much about this issue, but this seems like Lisa isn't really gone....or is this in truth a surprise shower for

To the Manor Born?

2009-10-04T11:41:00.008-04:00

Oh what will the neighbors think?This blog The Hysterical Preservationist wrote a very good post about a couple weeks ago now in relation to the tawdry tale of that La Ronda tear down in Lower Merion.La Ronda of course appears now to be a pile of rubble as per the Inquirer yesterday. I have not driven by, and I won't at this point - it's just like gaper delay on the highway when there is an

How About A "Greener" Audit?

2009-09-30T08:44:00.005-04:00

Yikes, the Radnor Meeting was not so dull after all...the videos seem to be going up, but watching this as it unfolded last night was quite a lot of fun. Especially when it came time to talk about the Radnor Conservancy, Friends of the Willows Cottage, and Greener Partners. That always makes for good T.V.There was discussion about grant applications and whatnot, but what I found most interesting
