Unlike Paxton Media Group, I will comment on personnel decissions and I haven't been blogging because I fired myself.

Paula Bridges, the good looking classy black chic on the news, recently disappeared for about a week. When the local "not Paxton affiliated media" got a holt of the story, i.e. WKYX, they ran with it and the right wing loonies that chat on their message board went nuts with theories that were more conspiracy based then the origins of the Turducken (I mean think about it people. You telling me the government wasn't involved with the combinining of a fucking chicken, duck and turkey with stuffing? Yeah, like some non-government affiliated fewl is going to have the technology or resources to pull that off without laser beams and gamma rays.). They apparently called the head Paxton to ax where our cities version of Oprah went and all they would merely say was that they don't comment on personnel decisions. While they weren't commenting on personnel decisions they were editing her out of their promotional videos that ran on television. Funny thing also was they ran a story with a picture of her in their own newspaper about how they wouldn't comment on their personnel decision the following day. I mean the Republican Sun Also Rises running a story about nuthing is nuthing new. It happens on a daily basis. Have you read Dusty Luthy's columns? They are so sparse in knowledge calling them colums is offensive. They should be called "storzies" or something else ridiculous. Calling that thing a paper is also giving it more credit than it is due. Pamphlet would be more appropriate. Does that guy Steve Vantreese think he is writing for the animals he is covering? I mean, I know his stuff is in the Outdoor section, but I swear, his stuff is so hilljack I expect every other word to be "snort", "chew", "sniff", or "slurp". They are also notorious for fucking up stories as well. One of my best friends from high school named Robbie Robertson played in a tennis tournament last weekend. I followed his progress during the weekend and I knew he made it to the finals but when they listed him as losing to a Murray State player they named him Ronny Robertson. Couldn't you just type that and tell that was wrong? Unless your writing a review of that DeNiro movie, Ronnin I think it was, how in the hell don't you know that motherfucker's name wasn't Ronny Robertson? I mean, if nothing else, you'd think the guy would have had a copy of Music From Big Pink lying around to clue him in.

Anywho, back to Paxton Media Group. What kind of fewls run a story about refusing to talk about the whereabouts of an employee? It was like their equivalent of putting Ms. Bridges on the back of a milk carton. Maybe they didn't know where she was and they were asking for the public's help in finding her. A subsequent story on WKYX indicated that Paxton Media Group wouldn't talk about the firing of news director Griff Potter. Griff, however, let it all hang out and denied being fired and stated that he still thought he had a job with the Paxtons. Then, about a week later, Ms. Bridges shows back up to work and apparently Griff no longer works there. The Paxtons did not comment on Ms. Bridges coming back or the non-return of the Griffster. Weird shit.

All the while Bhupy still has not thrown in his towel and sold the E. He still has the City Commission and the Quilters firmly by the Big E. Allegedly, according to Bhupy himself, a deal was reached about 3 weeks ago and just had to be put in writing and be signed. If you'll remember, Turkey Neck said the only way to save next year's Blue Hair Influx, a/k/a Quilt Show, would be if the E was sold and renovations started by October 1st. Well, by my math it is October 12th. Unless the part of the deal they are still negotiating is what date to set the time machine back to, it ain't looking purty.

Since all this has been going on the Paducah Police have also executed a search warrant at the E seizing (not me, I'm fine thanks) computers because they are looking into whether or not Bhupy finagled room deposits for the BHI (see above) and did not send back dough to those that he may have overbooked their rooms. They also allege they he may have not put this dough into a separate bank account. In other words, the Paducah Police allege Bhupy is doing the same thing the airline industry does on a daily basis but for some reason when he does it its criminal. I think they have also missed the part that it is impossible for him to steal until the people who's money he allegedly took for rooms show up at the appointed date and time and ask for the rooms and don't get a room. Funny thing is, and what our local dunder heads are not reporting, Turkey Neck's main honkey Bill Parson's was running the E when all this allegedly went down so he could very well be responsible for the TWA'ing, if you will, of the rooms.

The Cops are also looking into some former E-ployees who say they sent checks in to continue their health insurance after they ended their E-ployment but their insurance was cancelled because their payments never got their. Once again, Billy P was running the E at this time but it seems everyone is quick to blame the seemingly evil Indian guy with the turbin who looks like a Looney Tunes character. Admittedly, I can see where they can come up with that, but it seems as though there are some other obvious persons of interest in this situation.

So, as the E Turns, it sits down there with parts of it falling off. The foundation is cracking. The days keeping going by like diaphrams not preventing pregnancies after a night out at the Silver Saddle. Yet, these self imposed deadlines keep getting pushed back and everything is still allegedly going to be fine for BHI '09. I mean, if you buy into all that bullshit, just drive down to the E and look at it and ask yourself, what major hotel chain is going to want to have their name slapped onto this piece of shit? Admittedly, it is only going to be after it is remodled but when I went down there to check it out last week, I saw a joint that was so seedy and delapidated there were rats packing up their shit and moving. If they don't start remodeling it soon, it may fall down. Without water and electricity, I bet there is enough mold in that joint to make as much penicillin and blue cheese as a fat salad-eatin son of a bitch with an infection could stand. And another thing, if Bhupy was worried about getting a mortgage on the property, what does that tell you? It tells you that Parsons and Green don't have the 9 million in cash to buy the hell hole from Bhupy. If they don't have all the dinars to buy it from Bhupy, where are they going to get the ducketts to do the rest of this shit? Mark my words, I think Spaceghost Management or whatever the hell it is is shadier than Bhupy himself. The Bhupster is a cheap bastard just out to make a buck. Well, about 4 million bucks. As I've said on numerous occasions, he bought the worlds shittiest hotel and has proceeded to run it into the dirt and has used it as leverage against the Shity Commission against the BHI to up its value. Evil but good business. I think Bill Parsons and his Space Ghost Management firm had something to do with all this shit going south to put pressure on Bhupy to sell the E and/or to get a more favorable price. Parsons was using his position inside the E to tighten Buphy's towel, so to speak. I mean, splain to me how in the fuck Space Ghost Hospitality don't have a written contract to manage that joint when Parsons owns or operates other hotels? Yeah, write.

Well, I've gots to get some shut eye. It is good to be back. I only rehired myself because I couldn't afford to hire someone to do this for me any cheaper than what I paid myself to do it. That is my comment on my extended absence. Maybe I'll take an ad out on someone else's blog.

.....I'm just sayin'......
