Don’t have complete details right now, but here’s what I know…
In the next few days I can expect to receive a summons to appear for deposition in the lawsuit that Ron Price has filed against Richard and Debbie Moore.
This means that I’ll be sworn in and be asked questions under oath.
The deposition is set for November 15th at 10 a.m. at the Eden office of Price’s attorney, Douglas Hux.
I’ll post the summons when I receive it....
The only time I plan on breaking my sabbatical… but only because this was too funny not to do and share with the world.

I really hate to say this, but righteous anger is something that has always helped me feel more creative so far as parody goes. If there’s something wrong out there in the world, I do what I can to point it out and try to make it right, using whatever talent that God has given me… and in a way that I hope will make people both laugh and think about things.
So now that Rockingham County Board of Education member Ron Price is apparently trying to start-up the school uniforms thing again, my creative juices have gone into overdrive. A lot of ideas have come to mind in the past day or so regarding the Piedmont’s #1 larcenous elected official.
Here’s my latest work: Ron Price as the Gravemind in a piece inspired by the Halo video game series…
It was a bit hard to do, because Gravemind ...
Time for another hair-rending chapter in the can’t-end-soon-enough chronicles of…
As was reported here last Monday night, at this month’s meeting of the Rockingham County Board of Education, Ron Price – who almost a year ago was caught stealing campaign signs on the night before the election and has since gone on to become the most arrogant and condescending school board member at least since consolidation took place 14 years ago – tried to get the board to put Standard Mode Of Dress (SMOD) aka “school uniforms” back on the table for discussion. Because there should be “policies” already in place if SMOD is ever approved, Price tried to explain.
In spite of everything that happened at the July meeting, Price actually had the nerve to bring up SMOD again. For sake of “guidelines” he claimed.
But is Ron Price insane enough to try to once again force ...
There’s not nearly as much news about Transformers: The Score as I wish I could relay to y’all tonight. But here ’tis…
First, word is that Warner Records is still “scrambling” to distribute the score CD. Someone told me that this past week was something of “a shock” regarding demand for this album.
Amazon is still reflecting the shortage. Earlier on Friday morning the site said that it would again be in stock on October 20th. Right now it’s saying that the product “Usually ships within 1 to 3 weeks” although some who ordered the CD this past week said on Friday that they received e-mails from Amazon stating that their orders are either about to ship or are already on their way. As of this writing according to Amazon’s product page for Transformers: The Score it is holding strong at #35 in music sales and #4 in movie soundtracks. ...
After everything that happened at the July meeting, you would think that Standard Mode Of Dress (“SMOD”) aka school uniforms would not come up again anytime soon at the Rockingham County Board of Education. Or ever again for that matter.
Well, tonight it did.
Take a wild guess who brought it up.
Now to be fair, Ron Price did not outright suggest putting the SMOD issue back up for discussion as something to be immediately implemented (all hell would have broken loose on the far opposite side of the table if he had tried to). But the mere fact that Price spoke at length about wanting to have policies and guidelines already in place and ready for SMOD “in case” it is ever implemented, is troubling enough. I also happened to notice that Price spoke about SMOD as if it was something that the administrators and faculties of schools ...
It was one year ago today – on October 6th, 2006 – that the now-(in)famous first commercial from my campaign for Rockingham County Board of Education started broadcasting on WGSR in Reidsville…
I had just finished it that morning, and while the video was doing the final render I ran out to find Debbie Moore so that I could give her the check for a month’s worth of airtime. Then I got home, burned it onto a CD and drove it over to WGSR and handed it to Matt Smith. Right after that I had to go to Greensboro for an errand, then got back home and after seeing Lisa I went back to the station to see if the commercial was running yet.
Ooh-boy…
Y’know, this commercial, I had to make it. If I didn’t produce it for my school board run, I would have regretted it for the ...
A federal judge has ruled that two New Jersey students can continue wearing buttons depicting the Hitler Youth as part of a protest against school uniforms, Fox News is reporting…
...U.S. District Judge Joseph A. Greenaway Jr. sided with the parents of the students, who had been threatened with suspension by the Bayonne school district last fall for wearing the buttons. However, the judge added in his ruling that the boys will not be allowed to distribute the buttons at school.
“I’m very pleased,” said Laura DePinto, mother of one of the students. “I think it upholds the most basic of our American rights, which is to protest peacefully.”
Citing a 1969 case in Iowa involving students who wore black arm bands to protest the Vietnam War, Greenaway wrote that “a student may not be punished for merely expressing views unless the school has reason to believe that the speech
This morning I was going back though the past few months of blog posts looking for something I’d written pertaining to education. In the course of searching I found the video of WGSR’s Star Talk on June 14th where Mark Childrey interviewed me about my plans to address the July 9th meeting of the Rockingham County Board of Education while dressed as a Jedi Knight. It was all to protest the “Standard Mode of Dress” (legalese for “school uniforms”) at Reidsville Middle and Reidsville High schools that the board had approved.
As was reported here a few weeks later, the board wound up rescinding the earlier vote to implement the policy after POTSMOD (People Opposed To Standard Mode Of Dress) turned the meeting into a media spectacle with picketing by students, black armbands and not just a Jedi but an “escaped convict” too 🙂
Well, I watched the video ...
UPDATE 09-12-2007 12:29 am EST: YouTube has restored the clip
“Chutzpah” is a Yiddish word meaning “unbelievable gall or audacity”. An example of it would be the story of the kid who murders both of his parents, then throws himself on the mercy of the court on the grounds that he’s an orphan.
That’s chutzpah. So is this: multimedia giant Viacom is claiming that I have violated their copyright by posting on YouTube a segment from it’s VH1 show Web Junk 2.0… which VH1 produced – without permission – from a video that I had originally created.
Viacom used my video without permission on their commercial television show, and now says that I am infringing on THEIR copyright for showing the clip of the work that Viacom made in violation of my own copyright!
The clip in question was pulled by YouTube earlier this morning, at Viacom’s insistence.
