The Pain Management Law School & Tire Center of Paducah and Marion annouced the other day that it is going out of business as of December 31st. Dr. Manchaconti - my fauxnetic spelling - said his reasons for closing down the pillshop, law barn and tire emporium were due to the mismanagement of the previous owners and the negative reputation that the school could not escape from being legally entwined with its former incarnation.
Apparently, Dr. M was surprised by the fact that merely throwing cash at a Sally Struther's University type institution, changing a couple of professors and changing the name of the school would not solve the problem. I mean, who would have thunk that a place that was allegedly run as shittily as that joint couldn't be merely saved by renaming it after a local political hero, hiring a new dean and then letting a physician be the owner of the law school? They didn't even move the joint out of the old building. They weren't even trying to break with the old image. Dr. M and his administration - which mysteriously included Tommy O who was one of the fewls in the administration that ran the first incarnation into the legal dirt in the first place - simply thought they could jump in, throw Dr. M's $$$ at the problem and solve it all. Or, Dr. M needed a tax break and new this whole thing was going to hell in KASPERbasket and just shoved some extra dilaudid dough towards it instead of giving it to Uncle Sam.
You can't tell me that a cat who is as successfull in business as him couldn't see that Law Barn and Streudel Stop wasn't going to make it. They had ten students this past semester. In their press release, Dean Putt said they are going to help all their current students get into other schools. What schools would those be? Barber or clown colleges? All the students that could go anywhere else did. These students aren't bad people. In fact, they are victims. They fell for the original owners bullshit that they could get the joint off the ground and accredited within time for them to graduate with a full fledged law degree. And, in hindsight, those cats may have been able to do it because, while they were doing shady shit - holding loan money and such - they kept that joint open longer than Dr. M and his boys and they had more than 10 students as semester. However, these students should have seen that Dr. M and his bunch were fuller of shit than the colon removed from Pelvis during his autopsy because they weren't doing anything different other than gussing the place up a bit. Mr. Goodwrench may have accredited that joint after seeing all the physical improvements to the building, but the ABA wasn't simply going to think that all the problems were solved simply because the landscaping looked nice and the inside of the building was remodled. After going through that goofy lawsuit, Dr. Merriwhether threatening to get his "doctor on" and buy the joint and all that shit, they should have seen this wasn't going to work. Plus, as I said earlier, all the legit students were bolting for real bonafied schools, where they had like ABA seals of approval on the door. On top of all that, with all the shadiness going on with the Big E and the quilt show, these people should have been able to see that Paducah attracts this type of scandal and bullshit and you should take off running anytime the local or city governments are involved and wanting to give people money and large incentive packages to do something. They were also abused by people wanting there money and not stepping up to the legal plate and telling them they didn't have what it took to become a lawyer. Long story longer, my point is, if these 10 remaining students couldn't figure all this out, I don't know that they've got what it takes to be a lawyer.
And another thing. The Big E has been sold and the paperwork has been signed and all that is left to do is to close the deal. A deal that has taken this long and been more drawn out than pee out of an 80 year old penis, and they haven't closed it in over a week? You think there is something going on here? Mayor Turkey Neck talking about Space Ghost maybe not getting loans AFTER the deal is closed? Had to be sold by October 1st to start renovations to save the Quilt Show. It's October 23rd. The deadline keeps getting ignored just like the actual closing.
Where is Ronnie James hotel? Wasn't he going to start construction on the that sombitch like a month or so ago? Don't you love how our local media don't follow up on anything.
Have you seen Richard Abraham's billboard on Park Ave.? Is it me or does it look like him and all those people behind him are threatening you to vote for him for City Commission?
....I'm just sayin......
