Neglecting my commentary on this guy’s musical ability (he mostly does covers it appears), I’ve always felt that his music catered to more of a family friendly audience. He was in Raleigh on Friday.
I found the N&O's commentary of note:
A couple of songs in, Bublé did a comedic monologue that was surprisingly salty, with a couple of F-bombs and flip-offs (although they were so good-natured, it was hard to imagine anybody taking offense). He made the obligatory local references, including Crabtree Valley Mall and Clay Aiken, and he also poked fun at his own non-masculine image.
Read the story here.
“…hard to imagine anyone taking offense).” Yes, it’s hard for me to imagine that Mom and Dad with child in tow would take offense at a few f-bombs and the flip offs. I’m sure when that nice child goes home and starts repeating the good-natured gestures no one would take offense at their school, church, social gathering, etc.
Why not use the f bomb word and quote in the N&O? It was in good nature. Would the local tv news outlet run that good nature spot as well?

AND MITCH SILVER, KING CHARLES?
So Meeker, want to play the carpetbagger card? Mitch's been on a tear to change every square inch of Raleigh, dump millions into downtown Raleigh wasteful projects and put trains all over the place.
How long has he lived here? Does he really know Raleigh? Did he go to school here?
Did you?
One other thing King Charles, in your quest to dump millions into downtown Raleigh the African American community seems to have missed out. Seems like all the money has been spent on Fayetteville Street where white intellectuals like yourself can sit around and drink expensive coffees and talk about how much you care about black folks and have black friends and maybe even a favorite professional black basketball player.

Perhaps these folks would like to disclose the financing for this? I doubt it. Nor will the media ask them either. They get a pass while publicly disclosed campaign funds by the likes of people like Bob Luddy get put through the grinder.

HEY BARBER, THE REVOLUTION WILL NOT BE TELEVISED
Okay Rev., want to get all righteous with the singing? As the title suggest, the revolution of fixing the 54.2% graduation level of our most vulnerable children will not be televised. It will come through the tireless work of dedicated teachers, a school board that will not accept a failed status quo which you embrace and a silent group of community volunteers who will work without notice in our schools - not your self-righteous drama to try to legitimize yourself and build your group.
Why don't you find out What's Going On and What's Happening Brother to Save Our Children from a world of Inner City Blues. Now that would be Right On. Mercy Mercy Me.
And please stop the grandstanding theatrics. You could do something constructive to actually help the children you say you care about. But it's not really about them is it?

TIM TYSON AND MARY WILLIAMS CIRCA 2006
http://www.wakegov.com/news/archive/2006/72437.htm
Wake Reads Together 2006 Selects Local Author
1/3/2006
All of the votes have been counted and the personal recollection of Tim Tyson in his Blood Done Sign My Name will be the book all of Wake County will be reading and discussing in the upcoming months.
Blood Done Sign My Name is the story of a real 1970 murder in Oxford, N.C. In many ways, it is also the story of an evolving South and the accompanying taint of racism. The story is relayed from various perspectives – the author’s own, both as a 10-year-old and as an adult historian; the perspective of his minister father and the parishioners of the local church; the Black veterans and activists in the town; and the family members of the murderer. It is a painful look at the demons that haunt us from a masterful storyteller and a chilling realist.
The kickoff program for Wake Reads Together will feature the author speaking about his book on January 22, at 2 p.m., in the new Cameron Village Regional Library (1930 Clark Ave., Raleigh). Accompanying the author will be vocalist Mary Williams, who will be performing the spiritual from which the book takes its name. The event is free and the public is encouraged to attend.

ANARCHISTS (OOPS I MEAN PARENTS) ORGANIZING FOR WAKE SCHOOLS
A few weeks back we had the "good government" lawsuit by the "citizens" in Wake County.
It did not take long for that ruse to come forth as a NC Justice Center driven pr opportunity.
"The message also mentions that the Rev. William Barber, president of the state NAACP, wants to meet with Shaw and Chris Fitzsimon and Rob Schofield of N.C. Policy Watch "to talk about media going forward." The NAACP is one of the groups providing legal assistance on the lawsuit while N.C. Policy Watch has been regularly criticizing the school board majority."
N&O Wake Ed Blog, 5-7-10
This comes on the heels of the chaos creation by socialist groups (oops I mean parents) such as Raleigh Fist and the arrest of leader Dante Strobino at a recent school board meeting.
Whole lot of parental involvement going on here.
Not to be outdone, now the anarchists (oops I mean parents again) have thrown their hat in the ring. You can join them to "Save Our Schools, End Racism, and Stop Resegregation" and get paid $600 for completing the "Institute."
Though the contact is Elena Everett who works for the Southern Coalition for Social Justice, the sponsoring organization is ACRe – Action for Community in Raleigh. Many might remember their connection with the Mayview Collective. Wake Community would love to know how they reached out to this socio-economically disadvantaged community while there and lifted them up.
Some might better know them from these recent news reports:
From the News & Observer – April 30, 2009:
Three Mayview activists and three from Orange County were arrested eight days after Tancredo's visit on charges of disorderly conduct, accused of "loud and boisterous talking and yelling" during a talk by former Virginia congressman Virgil Goode.
"When you see that disconnect, your two options are to either fight against it or to accept it," said Ben Pearlstine, 22, who lives at Mayview, a six-member commune attached to the ACRe headquarters near Cameron Village in Raleigh. "Acceptance ... just isn't something that I'm OK with doing."
From the News & Observer – August 8, 2007:
Louise Fisher, 72 understands how young people would be attracted to a back-to-basics lifestyle. Still, "I wish they did a better job of keeping up their front yard," she says.
"I know it obviously doesn't bother them, but it does bother the neighborhood."
And:
… ACRe aims to be a center for progressive and radical activity in Raleigh.
… members of this group identify themselves as anarchists.
And in speaking with Emily Tokarski of the Mayview Collective:
"The basic idea is that people know what they need better than the white males in power."
Tokarski, who studied photography and philosophy, wanted to live in a home committed to social and environmental justice. In broad terms, that means "working against oppression of all forms – sexism, racism, classism."
She describes herself as an anarchist …
And in speaking with one of ACRe's founders, Attila Nemecz:
For Nemecz, his anarchist beliefs are put to work via ACRe.
Looks like we might be in store for another round of arrests.
ACRe – yet another "parents" organization working to preserve a system and individuals that have phenomenally failed the socio-economically disadvantaged community in Wake County.
Care to join them? Get the application here.
Kevin Hill must be silently pleased that his efforts to "stir up the pot against the majority" are working so well.

NEVER KNEW BOB LUDDY WAS MORE POWERFUL THAN...
Dear Friend:
As you know, the new members of the Wake County School Board are feverishly dismantling the diversity policy that made Wake's schools a model for the rest of the nation.
But, in their zeal to deny every student the opportunity to achieve the American dream, the right wing interests on the Wake School Board have glossed over the true cost of destroying the diversity policy. They're trying to keep working families in the dark and hoping they won't notice the millions of dollars in federal aid that could be sucked out of our schools, possibly resulting in higher property tax.
But we can do something about it. That's why we're launching "You fight, we'll fight" - a volunteer pledge bank, modeled after a similar program sponsored by Organizing for America, where you can commit your time to educating your friends, family, and community about the true cost of this disastrous policy.
I invite you to attend one of two community forums sponsored by Great Schools of Wake County being held on April 15th in Wake Forest or April 22nd in North Raleigh, respectively to learn more about how you can help.
In addition to pledging volunteer hours and attending a community session, you can also hold the school board accountable by phone banking and canvassing to elect county and state officials who will hold true to diversity policies. We'd like to get volunteers across Wake County to join us in pledging 10,000 volunteer hours to spread the word to fellow voters.
Help us show that we can hold the school board accountable, save taxpayers, and preserving the American dream for generations to come.
Can you pledge a few hours today?
Sincerely,
David Young
Chairman
North Carolina Democratic Party

GREAT SCHOOLS (NOT STUDENTS) PUTS THE FIRST AMENDMENT ON ICE
Hey Great Schools (not students) in Wake County. I'll let you in on another real secret policy. It's called the First Amendment:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Guess there are different standards for Mr. Tedesco as opposed to Mrs. Clark, a former school board member, who referred to the new majority as "jackasses" at your recent McKimmon Center forum. She was met with loud cheers from those attending.
Thank goodness she's not on the school board now or you might have to say bad things about her.
Well, then again, probably not.

SO KEITH SUTTON IS ALL ABOUT COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT MEETINGS?
Shame he wasn't so engaged this past winter to get people out to his in Southeast Raleigh. The meeting could have almost been held in a telephone booth.
But it's not really about community engagement meetings is it? More like another chance for folks like Beverely Clark to call our board members jackasses and "Ministers" like Curtis Gatewood and Tom Rhodes to berate board members. Maybe Tom Rhodes can upgrade his beratement from "You would put God in a box if you could" to telling board members to go to Hell as well.
And let's not forget Kevin Hill's motives as he's promised to "stir up the pot" against the majority. (N&O - January 14, 2010)

PLANTING TREES (and probably hugging them).
According to NBC-17:
Raleigh Mayor Charles Meeker will speak at 9:30 while doughnuts and juice are served. Break-dancers, a graffiti wall, and SPCA animals will also take part in the festivities. After the tree planting, 42nd Street Oyster Bar in Raleigh will provide barbecue sandwiches and side dishes.

SURELY, MR. MCSURELY AND HIS NAACP ILKS DIDN'T MEAN TO RIDICULE MARC BASNIGHT?
Surely, Mr. McSurely and the NAACP didn't mean to say that Senator Marc Basnight is unfit to lead the NC Senate? As many folks know, Senator Basnight only holds a high school degree. I would say he's done well for himself.
Hate to think what they think about the 45.8% of Wake County students that don't even get a high school diploma. Of course, they don't dare talk about the naked diversity emperor.

Americans For Prosperity questions NAACP assertion that a college degree is needed to serve on local school boards
Did statement by NAACP Attorney represent a policy position by NAACP?
Does the NAACP think 74% of North Carolina citizens are not qualified for serving on their local school board?
Raleigh, March 8, 2010—Members of the NAACP hurled charges of racism on Friday, reported the Raleigh News & Observer, and likened the new Wake School board majority to clowns, Communists, dictators and the Mafia.
School board chairman Ron Margiotta's educational background was questioned and he was called "unfit" to keep his post.
"[Margiotta] doesn't even have a college degree," said NAACP attorney Al McSurely. "They've got clowns running this school board."
According to Jane S. Shaw, president of the John W. Pope Center for Higher Education Policy, 74 percent of adults in North Carolina do not have a college degree.
"Does this represent a policy statement from the NAACP that 74 percent of North Carolina citizens are not qualified to run and serve on their local school board?” asks Dallas Woodhouse, North Carolina State Director of Americans for Prosperity. "From the statement by NAACP Attorney Al McSurely, it appears the organization believes that no non-degree holders should offer their service to local school boards. Will the NAACP ask the General Assembly to make this the new law of the land? This would represent an enormous step backwards for millions of citizens across North Carolina of all backgrounds."
According to the News and Observer, Wake School Board Chairman Ron Margiotta, enlisted in the U.S. Coast Guard after graduating from Weehawken High School in the 1950s. Afterward, he started his own business to support his family. He took some labor relations courses at St. Peter's College.
According to his official bio, a longtime businessman, Ron Margiotta retired in 2000 with 40 years of experience in business. Mr. Margiotta is the founding owner and operator of Reliable Service Company, a warehouse and installation service business. Prior to moving to Wake County, Mr. Margiotta was elected to a school board in the Northeast where he also served as board president for six years.
"Is Mr. McSurely serious?” asks Jane S. Shaw. “Most of the adults in North Carolina do not have college degrees. If they were not allowed to serve on school boards, think about all the talented people whose skills and talents could not be used by their local school systems. Think about all the business owners, parents and talented North Carolina citizens who would be kept off the ballot. I urge the NAACP to consider dropping this complaint."
"I hope the NAACP will clarify their position on whether a college degree should be required for service to local school boards. The organization should encourage more participation in the civic process, and not send the message that people who did not obtain a college degree are not worthy of consideration by the voters," said Woodhouse. "Perhaps more respect from people from different backgrounds and experiences is in order."
The 2010 US Census Bureau statistical abstract says that for 2008, roughly 19.6 percent of African Americans had earned college degrees.
“Does the NAACP really think that eight out of ten African Americans are unqualified to serve the people of this state?” said Woodhouse.

ODE TO KEVIN HILL
Here's one going out to Kevin Hill who, along with diversity agitators at Wake County School Board meetings, has promised to "stir up the pot" against the majority.
One question Kevin - in your wildest dreams did you believe this would work so well so as to necessitate the need for law enforcemnet officers at your meetings?

RON, MY CAT TAKES OFFENSE TO YOUR REMARKS
To being compared to the folks at the school board meeting.
She's much more behaved than they are.
