Sure it doesn't make sense, but it makes for good "hashing".

Doug Clark of the N&R is the ONLY member of the staff other than a few feature writers whom I personally have any respect for. John Robinson and Allen Johnson should be flushed, and I certainly hope when FOX takes over they will be. So it was no surprise to me when after the flap made by the N&R over The Pulpit Forums latest insanity it was Doug alone who called it right with today's blog post.Doug said, "The story of the mystery police files doesn't make sense to me. It doesn't make sense that there could have been 50 boxes of previously unknown files related to the 1979 Klan/Nazi/CWP shootout hidden away in the police department for 25 years. It doesn't make sense that, when the Truth & Reconciliation Commission asked for records, someone at the PD decided to trash these shadowy files. If the 50 boxes had been successfully hidden for 25 years, seems like they could have been hidden forever."

Dr. Mary JohnsonCareful Brenda. Wishing JR canned will get you de-linked and banned;)
The door cannot hit the "team" of Robinson/Johnson in the tail fast enough for me.

Well, I am not "linked". In fact few link to my blog on their site as I suppose they don't want to be "linked" with the crazy assed old broad. It is funny tho that they sneak on over and read me anyhow.As for being banned. Well no big loss as the only blog I read is Doug Clark. He is the only one I have any respect for at all.
Now maybe they could stop my subscription, but that would really bend Lew out of shape. He has had 50+ years of morning newspaper with his morning coffee and 71 is a little late to change bad habits! BB

Doug, Has it occurred to anyone that everything this group has done, at least in the past four years that I have been in Greensboro, makes no sense? There was of course the biased and sensational Truth and Reconciliation Report which was snubbed by all of Greensboro, then there was the Declaration of Intolerable Racism that our current honorable Mayor signed and stood up for even tho she herself had voted for and participated in activities that were now being called "intolerable racism". Her answer for doing this, "You don't have to agree with everything...". Then we were treated to the march wherein there were more reporters than marchers. Given just these few actions by The Pulpit Forum I am dumbfounded as to why and how these people are given any attention at all by the media or anyone else. Well I should rephrase that since they aren't given any attention by anyone but the media. (And I am embarrassed to admit, we Greensboro bloggers. But hey, it had been a slow week and this at least gave us something to blog about. And also to gather together and hash and rehash on Ed Cone's site. "Hashing" is one of us bloggers favorite things, ya know.)
I would like to have the N&R cover the next dog fight to take place Randleman Road if they would as I am sure this will garner a lot more interest by the public. And it would make a whole lot more sense! Brenda Bowers
