Help needed. (Passive voice, and I don't care.)

I was director of security for one of the largest hospital consortiums in Virginia and one of my responsibilities was inventory control and loss prevention. It is not that difficult to implement accountability systems to prevent this. My biggest problem was the loss of surgical gowns. I sat behind the hospital laundry each night for a week and caught some employee back his truck up to the receiving dock and load them in his vehicle. At least he was smart enough to get them washed before he took them.I guess the security folks are too busy harassing teachers who disagree with administration.

I laughed when I read this, but I'm trying to find one of Thomas's posts when he complained that his principal walked in on him unannounced and was spying on him or something. I'd love to list both posts side by side.

If you can't work it out, you're stupid, Thomas.

From Thomas Vaughan:
Ok...maybe she bothers some people with her grammar criticism. So what? What is wrong with good grammar? Its really all in fun. She hasn't attacked my poor grammar because she's given up on me.Have you read the nasty disgusting garbage written by her enemies? Who are those people? Why are they attacking her? Have you seen the doctored photo one of them uses? I don't get it, why are they being so gratuitously mean? What purpose does it serve?

And notice how they don't ever comment on her content.....what kind of person tries to knock down someone who is fighting for the Little Man? Who on earth believes the people at the top should not have their feet held to the fire? They like big salaries, so with that big salary comes tons of responsibility and lots of criticism.


Are you really this stupid, Thomas? I don't believe that you are. I think you know exactly why. I've made it clear on this blog that I find Lee's hypocrisy incredible.

What's wrong with good grammar, and it's all in fun? That is not the case, and you know it. Lee doesn't give up on your grammar; she doesn't touch you because you're one of her special friends. It has nothing to to with grammar and everything to do with bullying people. If she were that worried about grammar, she would pick on everyone with a bit more consistency.

Look at the last post on her Grammargrinch blog. December 5, 2008. I've shut this cow down, but she'll come out with the grammar abuse occasionally when she wants to belittle someone.

You support her hypocrisy too, Thomas. Lee posts amusing pictures of fat cats that she says board members resemble, she makes fun of their hairstyles and calls them "pole girl" and other names, yet you question why I use a doctored picture and why I'm being mean? (Thomas, you called me names too, and you taunted me about my mother, but but this has nothing to do with why I pull up Lee.) Lee's post has "First Amendment" in its title, and you bang on about how Goader has been asked to be silent, yet you won't extend me the same courtesy.

"Maybe she bothers some people ... So what?" you write? It looks as if I bother people too, Thomas. You can respect my First Amendment right, thank you.

Anonymous, (Lee will maintain you're a coward for not signing your post), I've commented on Lee's content on a couple of occasions, but I set this blog up to list Lee's hypocrisy and her own grammar errors. Have a scroll through Lee's Grammargrinch posts. She regularly picked on people's grammar and punctuation without giving a hoot about content.

I pick on her grammar and pretty much ignore her content because I think Lee should cop a bit of her own medicine herself. Why not ask Lee why she picks on others' grammar and punctuation without discussing the content? You can post her response here, if you like.

If you want comment on content, check out Ziggy's blog, The Abyss. There's a link on my home page. Some of Lee's fans pop in now and again. People like Thomas Vaughan have a read, but don't post. It's strange that they make their comments (on Ziggy's meanness, not his content -even stranger!) elsewhere, rather than on Ziggy's blog.

I like the cockroach metaphor. When Ziggy and I turn the lights on, the Thomas Vaughans and Lee de Cesares of the world scuttle and hide.

Slight return: Since posting, I've been to Ziggy's post here:

http://ziggysabyss.blogspot.com/2009/04/its-really-all-in-fun.html

I swear that I hadn't read it first. How odd that more than one person notices the same things!

I agree. If people can't see that Lee's agenda is about re-inforcing her own sense of self importance and superiority they are blind or have no ojectivity.

She only cares about people insofar as she can use them to further her own agenda.When she thought she would be able to have April Griffin as her own personal puppet Lee was abuzz over her. Once April showed a modicum of free thinking and independence ignoring Lee's helf-witted demands well Lee could not stand it! Oh the travesty!

Lee can't figure out that you don't have to rave like a lunatic and make half-baked claims that destroy credibility to make a difference or work againt the establishment.

Lee seems to think that you have to threaten, belittle, demean and harass to get things done. It's sad and unsettling to observe such an unhappy and and clearly distrubed person. She is not at peace as she would have people believe.

Finally I think the woman has lost any grasp she may have had on reality. She calls people by the wrong name. She switches names routinely (In one post while railing against attorney Tom Gonzalez, she suddenly started calling him Ton Graham.... wtf!?!?). And she has the worst grammar that I have EVER seen. She routinely misuses words, mis-spells and doesn't follow her own punctuation rules. Lee is a self-proclaimed feminist who accuses women of sleeping their way to the top and tears women down if she feels the least bit threatened or insulted.

She is the ultimate hypocrit.

How colloquial! (and ignorant)



>They use to be easy to find on the web, but now you must belong to a paid "research" site for lawyers and/or administrators to get information on these lawyers who give such seminars.<


Edit: They used to be easy to find ... Vinegartits can't conjugate verbs.


She'll probably change it, but here's the proof.

Have I cured you?

>Beware of board members bearing false faces of honesty when they are knee deep in the skulduggery that is killing you.<

Unfortunately, Vinegartits can't win with this one. If she recognises a participle and punctuates it accordingly, I'll lampoon her for failing to uphold her neurotic possessive-before-gerund standards. Does she see the error in her ways, or is she apathetic about punctuation? If it's the former, I'm glad to have been of assistance.

>Mr. Erwin's naivete and trust in the system made him think Mr. Bricklemeyer was honest. She was as honest as a pickpocket.<

Get your facts / gender agreement straight.

I DON'T THINK THE ADMINISTRATION WILL FIRE GOADER AFTER ALL THE EXPOSURE HIS CASE HAS GOTTEN.I AM GRATEFUL TO GOADER FOR SERVING AS A MODEL OF WHAT THE ADMINISTRATION CAN DO TO A TEACHER TO SHUT HIM OR HER UP BY TERRIFYING THEM WITH THE THREAT OF JOB LOSS. IT IS TO GOADER'S CREDIT THAT HE HAS NOT SHUT DOWN HIS BLOG: THE ADMINISTRATION'S GOAL IN THIS UGLY ILLUSTRATION OF HOW THEY USE THEIR POWER WITH THE BOARD'S BACKUP TO TERRORIZE TEACHERS INTO SILENCE.

WHATEVER THE OUTCOME, I WISH GOADER LUCK. I PREDICT THAT HE WILL BE BACK IN THE CLASSROOM IN THE FALL SEMESTER. LEE<

Okay .. I hear you. Stop shouting with your comic-book Romper-Room capitals.

I think you're right, Ziggy. Senile Lee is losing the plot moreso these days.

Come now; you're not trying.

http://leedrurydecesarescasting-roomcouch.blogspot.com/2009/04/devil-made-me-do-that.html

>Ms. Elia makes $300,000 a year and a beginning teacher makes $34,000. <

Separate two independent clauses with a comma, you stupid illiterate bonehead. I taught grammar for 28 years. It's a march to the swamps of illiteracy. Lee doesn't have a proper Ph. D. She's a nurse - one rung lower than a Home Ec. teacher and level with Early Childhooders. Blah, blah, blah.

Super comma splice

http://leedrurydecesarescasting-roomcouch.blogspot.com/2009/04/never-hesitate-to-ask-rhodes-scholar.html

>Your fellow Plant City denizen the greedy Dr. Earl the Pearl Lennard began this bonus gimmick, The equally greedy Ms. Elia continues it with board approval. <

The march to the swamps of illiteracy continues.

>Board Member Falliera has distinguished herself by initiating an affair with Marc Hart, former head of Community Affairs, causing him to divorce his wife, leaving his two little children in bad psychological and financial straits. The administration forced him to resign to save Ms. Falliera's "reputation." He brought the divorce depositions at his own initiative to my home in Madeira Beach, so I know the whole seamy tale. After this saga, the board appointmed Ms. Falliera chair.<

Stupid. Thrice.

>The newspaper reporting on the schools is too flaccid to give them any concern.<

No possessive for a change? I've taught you well, haven't I?

The sisterhood of Gaia, Dike, and Themis are watching.

"Sisterhood" is singular, sister.



Ziggy said...
Also notice that she said "Etheridge" instead of Edgecomb. This error along with "Falliera" (which are becoming more and more common) leads me to suspect that Lee is on the slow road to senility.

Note the ever present name transition that vinegartits is such a propensity for. Tom Gonzalez is the guys proper name

From Lee's blog:Tom Gonzalez, ever prepared to cover illegal behavior of board members with faux-legal gloss, said later that my speaking someone's name might "violate the person's privacy." Tom Gallagher cares about as much about violating a person's privacy as he cares about the scandal of his holding the lawyer perch for 37 years, which his firm got on a good ol' boy handshake.

The data thing ... again!

http://leedrurydecesarescasting-roomcouch.blogspot.com/2009/04/flimflam-or-incompetence-neither-is.html


>His bosses, Jack Davis and James Hamilton, would write him that his data were incomplete or that they had not received it, and that he had to re-investigate the situation.<

were - plural
it - singular
Vinegartits - illiterate

Illiterate too strong a word? The comma after "it" splits a compound object. Make your own decision.

The apostrophe butcher

http://leedrurydecesarescasting-roomcouch.blogspot.com/2009/04/ive-got-mail.html

>To show how complicit the board is with the administration in crucifying teachers who give even a whiff of rebellion, I sent Steve Kemp to ask for Board Member April Griffins’ help. <

The help of April Griffin? I don't think so. Keep trying, Lee. You'll get there.

What did Earl think of these pearlers?

http://leedrurydecesarescasting-roomcouch.blogspot.com/2009/04/keeping-in-touch-with-beelzebu.html

>Any one who read Mr. Wiesner’s Death by Education, Book titles get italics. now on sale at Alibris for very high prices as an education-underground-collector’s item, knows how sadistic you were as superintendent.<

>Mr. Wiesner’s His What the ? blood pressure skyrocketed. So he gave up. He left the malignant board and administration behind. I tried to get in touch with him Comma here: see Strunk & White but was unable to track him down.<

>Board members promise the public to “clean up the administration,” walks through the ROSSAC portals after election, and falls Subject-verb disagreement right in with the rackets run by the superintendent. Anybody who does not go along with the superintendent’s and board’s skullduggery gets fired.<

>You punished nobody for the crime after Mr. Erwin won his court case and $165.000 No period here settlement against the board and administration. <

>Middle-school media specialist Bart Birdsall and I sent Ms. Doretha Edgecomb a copy of the Wiesner book when she was elected Flabby passive voice. <

>Right now special-ed teacher Steve Kemp has been suspended Flabby passive voice for the alleged offense of child abuse manufactured by Ms. Elia More flabby passive voice .<


>The sheriff threw out the chargek, but Mr. Lucco Brazzi Valdez is prolonging the torture of Mr. KIemp in order to see what it takes to make Mr. Kemp shut down his blog, which is occasionally mildly critical of the administration. Somebody from the administration or at its even called Mr. Kemp and asked him not to discuss a certain subject on his blog any more. <

>And it was your reign that prepared the ground for such vile conduct by the current board Flabby passive voice and administration .<


>One thing more that offends me: Sentence precedes colon It was you who instituted the “bonus” for the superintendent based on student achievement. <

This last sentence is wordy crap. Edit: You instituted the " bonus” for the superintendent based on student achievement.

Tenured teachers

http://www.tampabay.com/news/education/k12/article987898.ece

Interesting article.

Of course the first comment at Richard's blog here https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=438461550168398569&postID=3140093666193954922 is from our mate Thomas Vaughan.

Thomas Vaughan said...
I think you could investigate the employees of any institution and find bad ones. I guarantee you this, more good, dedicated and honest teachers leave every year because of the stress of the job than could ever be fired if they got rid of tenure.


A real hatchet job by Mr. Matus but is was great reading right Richard?

What did it prove and why did you include it on your blog? I was shocked that you would do this. I am a big fan of this blog but I am disappointed that you felt it necessary to include this garbage.
March 29, 2009 10:20 PM


Whatever happened to First Amendment rights, free speech and speaking one's mind? Oh, that's right ... you disagree with it, so no one is allowed to mention it.

And swearing on your father's grave doesn't disprove the allegations.

From the article:

There is no easy way to find out which teachers get in trouble a lot.
Their personnel files are public record, but they're not posted on the Web, and it can easily cost more than $100 to redact and copy a few files.


I might get a hold of a copy of Thomas's file and have a gander. I'm sure that Vinegartits has.

Whoops! Missed a post!

http://leedrurydecesarescasting-roomcouch.blogspot.com/2009/03/some-comments-on-goaders-blog.html

>I was so enchanted with the sight of the board talking about ethics that I dumped my planned comments and instead said I would identify people on the board who should under no circumstances offer themselves as role models of character to children looking for people in the schools to look up to.<

Possessive before gerund, Vinegartits. Or have you learned (from me - glad to be of assistance) that there is a difference between a gerund and a participle? Please clarify. Either you are wrong according your own standards or you've decided to adopt mine.


>I wheeled on Ms. Elia and told her she was a bully, was a constitutional liar<

It certainly takes one to know one. You can't get enough of bragging how wonderful you are at the podium. The rumour is that you spoke terribly. You tried the "Oh, I changed my tack at at the last minute" ruse to try to save face. You've probably fooled some people.

Yes, but Lee's a liar, too.

http://leedrurydecesarescasting-roomcouch.blogspot.com/2009/03/emotional-blackmail-as-usual-and-sneaky.html
I love the comments on this entry. They're all liars, they're all liars. Lee's a liar, too. It's been proven regularly. She's illiterate as well. Cop these.

I understand you were an undergraduate history major comma here but would bet my best pair of Manola Blanicks that you never read The Federalist Papers, and if you did, you didn't understand Hamilton, Madison, and Jay.

You have instigated the child-abuse frame-up that has gutted Steve Kemp during a six-months' This is a new form of apostrophe abuse, even for Vinegartits suspension; before you let him loose, you want to assure that he will offer you no resistance if you waive the child-abuse charge.

After the coddling of the incompetent principal in the Alafia case, your willingness to hire the incompetent Ms. Smith a coach on how act human for $345 Inflation? You received confirmation it was $340. Filthy liar. a day with plans before the mothers put their feet down to send her and her assistant principal to Eckerd for personality-remake seminars for $4500 apiece, this crucifixion of a teacher on a trumped-up charge makes Caligula look like an old softie.
