Love Garden the subject of Hate and Savagery!

Again from Muskegon's Gaza Strip, under-served and minimally protected-

Love Community Garden, a successful, grassroots project at 8th and Monroe, on Love Fellowship Baptist Church property and in partnership with the church, has for two years been assaulted, vandalized and harassed by the sociopathic family which lived across the street. This family had moved to Muskegon from Whitehall, after a feud with Whitehall Police and Fire Dept. personnel which caused six personal protection orders to be filed against these prime examples of defective gene pool spawning . Now, two years after over 100 complaints and three PPO's, and an assault on a U.S. Mail letter carrier and on an unidentified (by this writer) State Agency employee, the County Prosecutor and Muskegon Police finally arrested two of these criminals.

"Great!", one might say; but, there are darker questions looming. First, who put these miscreants up to the idea of savaging such a community asset(could it have been Larry Spataro, Dolly Hipchtkin, and the cast of NNIA?) Second, why did it take the City of Muskegon, the County Prosecutor so long to move to protect those who were victimized by the Puisis family? How easily Muskegon excuses and accepts it's failures.

Marcia's Campaign...off to a predictable start!

- As seen from Muskegon's own Gaza Strip-

Well folks, Marcia Hovey-Wright's character is our topic. Let's remember she is one of the NNIA folks that tried to ramrod drug-infested St. Joseph park, strewn with old condoms (at least NNIA is practicing safe sex) and syringes, with no bathrooms and no drinking water, down the metaphoric throat of a meals-and-recreation program for kids; and when the program director said she was choosing a safer site, with toilet and drinking water, Marcia, Larry Spataro...etc (you can guess the usual culprits)withdrew $2000.00 NNIA originally offered the program.

Remember that? (If NNIA can't control it, they don't want it to happen...Kids be damned!)

Recently, campaign signs for Marcia Hovey-Wright sprouted up on people's lawns without permission, often right in front of Sean Mullally signs. The unwanted signs, for the most part, were removed; but only after numerous complaints were registered.

Not a terrible campaign offense by it's self ; but, when added up with the many other lapses of character demonstrated by Marcia, it does indicate the kind of office holder she might be, if we are stupid enough to vote for her.

I'm not endorsing any candidate, right now; but, I do know who I'm NOT voting for!

NNIA Rides Again!

Still Broken by the Lake -

Hi folks, Ol' Dennis is back! Why ? Well our very own Nelson Neighborhood Improvement Association (Larry Spataro, Marcia Hovey-Wright, Dolly Hiptchkin...etc...) is up to it's skullduggery again! Here's the story:

Volunteer Muskegon was initiating a summer program for kids in the Nelson Neighborhood which included breakfast, some recreation and and lunch. NNIA was providing the venue, their very own adopted, St. Joseph Park, as well as kicking in $2,000.00 (grant money?). The person heading the Volunteer Muskegon project went to inspect the park and found, besides discarded drug paraphernalia, there were no bathrooms, no drinking water; also, the park has been the site of frequent drug deals and is in proximity to some gang violence (including shootings). When NNIA was asked to find a new, more safe, venue. NNIA said, in effect, "No. It's this location or nowhere."

Volunteer Muskegon said they, out of concern for the safety and well-being of the children, had to find somewhere else to hold their program, NNIA then said they would withdraw their offer of $2,000.00. Further when a community church, which was more safe, had bathroom and water available, became the venue, the head of Volunteer Muskegon was subjected to angry phone calls from NNIA board members.

In their arrogance, Nelson Neighborhood Improvement Association, in complete disregard for the purpose of the program (providing meals and recreation for neighborhood kids), made this about "counting coup", chalking up points to appear to be doing something positive for Nelson Neighborhood. Well done, Marcia Hovey-Wright, we'll keep this event in mind as well during the primary election!

Larry, are you thinking of running again?

Not Funny...anymore

From the Broken City's Gaza Strip -

Caught by the humor of the antics of Muskegon politicians and other denizens, Crack'd Muskegon Newz was intended to satirically comment (albeit with gallows humor) about the gnashing and thrashing and scrambling of people who suck their lively hood from the public teat. The acts and lies of many of these people has been such that it not possible to comment with humor while innocent Gazanites are being held responsible for my words.

Therefore, Crack'd Muskegon Newz is going to fall silent for a while (and hope that humor returns amid this sad community) and those who have bothered to read this may have to make you own commentary about the despicable acts being perpetuated here in the Gaza Strip.

Lies and the liars who spread them...(apologies to Al Franken)

More from Muskegon's Gaza Strip -

Well, Lars Spittoon is spinning and misrepresenting the truth (as is his wont from time to time) with aplomb...

And what can we expect from an elected official who thinks that his serving on the board of a neighborhood association is O.K., and that living in Muskegon twenty years makes one more equal, more of a citizen, than one who has lived here less than five. This must be Spittoon's idea of being a Commish.

(And Lars, no one wants to dissolve NNIA; we enjoy the ironic fruitlessness of their existence.)

But let us also acknowledge that the rest of Nelson folk (the "other" people) deserve an alternative group. They, some with good reason, distrust and feel uncomfortable with NNIA; but what do they know?

Case in point:
An untrue and possibly actionable e-mail, written by Lars, who also is an employee of Muskegon County , as well as being a Commish, has been generally circulated, in hard copy with the collusion of some NNIA board members. This bit of partial fact casts aspersions on a citizen, who is known to have performed great service to Nelson Neighborhood, sponsoring a food truck, helping people find housing, organizing, with the assistance of local clergy, a fund-raiser to help an AIDs victim; additionally, one who has also helped start a successful community garden, recruited members for a local Lion's Club in order to aid in promulgating a much needed youth center...This is laughable; anyone who knows this person knows that Lar's comments are untrue.
Additionally, This individual, who Lars has decided to attack, has never demanded anyone be fired; has never threatened to defund a grant. The truth Lars (sit down boy, we know you seldom recognize the truth), is that the (at that time) grant facilitator threatened that, saying something to the effect that asking questions could cause the whole grant to be withdrawn. Also, the Director of Co. Public Health threatened to ask the State of Michigan to cancel its contracts regarding the Healthy Neighborhoods program. Never did the victim of Lars' poison e-mail threaten to defund the grant!

One wonders at the reason...Is our "drive slow, smile and wave" boy (who, we know, never lies)
simply losing his grasp of reality?

What's up Liars, I mean, Lars? You seem to be scurrying about like a rat on a sinking ship!
...Hmmm... And where is the Nelson neighborhood City Commissioner? What is she doing to counter the slander?

There's more, but my sentences are becoming more complex and I don't want to confuse Lars with all the punctuation!

Crap, By Any Other Name, Still Stinks...

From the Gaza Strip - Broken-by-the-Lake Muskegon -

"Nelson Neighbors United" the unnatural spawn of an already in shambles group of self-serving cronies (not even worthy of the title "Neighborhood Association") has to be commended for at least revealing true colors. This is a select, very exclusionary, few who want to promote the BUSINESS interests (and we all see how well they've done so far: "Main Street Muskegon", Gary Posthole's "Strolling Market"...)and find a means to give Dan the Echo-Monkey an income.

If you send an e-mail sent to the President-by-default of the Nelson Neighborhood Improvement Association, and ask,"Who constitutes the membership of NNU? How were they selected? Was the Nelson neighborhood informed?" you will receive an evasive non-answer and you will be told to call on the telephone...For obvious reasons, the NNIA and it's miscreant off-spring do not want anything in writing...With a phone conversation, they can simply deny it (and will if it suits their cabalistic purposes).

William K. Black, bank regulator, author of "The Best Way to Rob a Bank is to Own One", points out that our current economic crisis was preventable, but for the greed and lack of ethics of a small group of bankers (AIG, Goldman-Sachs, Lehman Bros....etc.) operating in collaboration with, then Secretary of Treasury Paulson ( a former president of Goldman-Sachs). What Prof. Black goes on to say, is that, when capitalists and politicians act ethically, capitalism works quite well and, mostly, everyne gets some benefit. Nelson Neighbors United, and their totally unethical parent organization need an enema and when the stink alleviates, maybe, just maybe, some ethics might creep in. Wouldn't that be refreshing?

In the meantime, all you circle-dancers, keep slowing down, smiling and waving.

Hyphen-Nation

Muskegon's (Four time nominee, Sphincter City, USA) Gaza Strip -Broken City by the Lake -

Many years ago, in early renaissance Europe, hyphenated last names signified the co-joining (usually through a marriage contract) of powerful/influential merchant families. In more recent times the hyphenated name has taken on many meanings: old money,important lineage, etc... More currently, a hyphen is used (in marriages, civil unions) to indicate that one life partner retains name/identity, and is a co-equal participant in the conduct of family business. However, there are a few speculations that might be addressed about hyphenating names:

Do we have any old, powerful, influential double-named merchant families here in Muskegon?

Do we NEED old, hyphenated, powerful, influential double-named merchant families in Muskegon? Maybe we do! It'd give us something to brag about. "Yo, Grand Haven, we have more hyphenated families than you! Nah-Nah Nah Nah-Nah!"

What's with all this anyway? Some last names are a mouthful to begin with and to add another...Is this an ego-thing for those who just want to hear themselves addressed publicly, "Hey, Ryznecovic-Herzogathana! How are you this morning?"

Would you hate to be behind such a hyphen sporting person in the line ahead of you while they brandish their credit card (a full three-quarters of an inch longer than yours)and sign their unnaturally longish name?

Are hyphenated names part of a cruel joke, meant merely to confuse the dyslexic? Or, is this part of a criminally clever ruse to get witnesses to contradict themselves in court?

How does one decide which names shall trail behind the hyphen? Does this denote, not co-equality, but a lesser, more submissive role in the life-partner arrangement?

Are hyphenated names, in reality, un-mutual and (gasp) un-democratic?

What about polygamystic Mormons, who, in pretending to old respectability, decide to hyphenate the names of the husbands and the all the wives, over sixteen? How would that work out? (My God, what would their credit cards look like? Assuming Mormons use credit cards).

Then we have those who have two last names but lack the pedigree of the hyphen:

Do they secretly yearn for the hyphen, if just for the symbolic mantle signifying lineage, old money, influence?

Or, are these folks, who have, somehow, lost the hyphen (maybe due to to something similar to that strange linguistic disease that burdened the Welsh with a plethora of consonants)?

Are these, double-named people closet hyphenators? (Do they secretly aspire to be Pope?)

History, I suspect, may show those possessing double last names (or their forebears), whether sporting a hyphen or not, have probably spent a portion of their lives mining the poor

Or are they part of a secret army of of hyphenated name holders, infiltrating the Midwest, pretending to be normal? ("Muskegon today; tomorrow the world!").

Do you suppose there are rules for becoming hyphenated? Is there, somewhere (maybe in Pentwater) a college of heraldic hyphenation who convene and pour through the ancient and arcane scrolls and bound texts to establish legitimacy for hyphen applicants?

So, in the end, what the hell is with this two-last-name trend among the yuppies?
Let's give them a hyphen and maybe they'll float away.
