This pic of Richard Moore‘s grandson Jack is way too cute to not share with others…
On Richard’s site, that pic links to the website for My Home Kitchen, hosted by Richard’s wife Debbie and broadcast locally on WGSR Star 39. Check it out for recipes for some good eats!...
The more I think about how disgraced school board member/admitted sign stealer Ron Price’s lawsuit against the Moores ended (click here for more info, including links to the sworn depositions that the Moores, Price, and Yours Truly gave), the more I’m feeling honked-off to no end about it.
The man is certainly living up to his county-wide nickname of “Ron the Con” (one that I have heard bandied about everywhere from church to the Wal-Mart Supercenter in Eden). Ladies and gentlemen, I posit that the whole sordid drama of this past year has been a massive charade perpetrated by Price and his attorney Douglas Hux. Because this lawsuit had nothing to do with seeking damages for legitimate libel. But it did have everything to do with an elected official using the law to intimidate and silence those who disagree with him.
Does anyone believe that Ron Price would ...
See that pic of Ron Price? That’s when he was sworn in on the Rockingham County Board of Education a little over a year ago. Nobody from his family wanted to come and hold the Bible for him, so school board attorney Jill Wilson had to fill in. This pic was taken by Richard Moore, and we’ll get back to it in just a little bit…
A few days ago Ron Price dropped his lawsuit against Richard and Debbie Moore. There’s a story about it in The Reidsville Review, but based on what I’ve heard from a number of sources, the Review story is… shall we put it… “wildly inaccurate”. There was no settlement at all, and certainly no conditions imposed. Ron Price cried “Uncle!” on his own.
Yet in spite of giving up, Price is delusional enough to claim a victory out of this…
...Price said he
I wouldn’t mind saying out loud, even though I’ve now given on-the-record testimony during deposition, that Ron Price’s lawsuit against Richard and Debbie Moore is a steaming pile of horse manure. Except that doing so would be a dire insult to horses everywhere.
(Here is my own report about being deposed and here is Richard’s account, which includes not only my own time on the “witness stand” but his own and that of Debbie and Ron Price… who I especially heard did not do so well.)
In my admittedly non-legally trained estimation, this case is going to be laughed out of court. But that won’t be before Price and his attorney Doug Hux will have (a) wasted a lot of our valuable time and money, (b) wasted a lot of the public’s valuable time and money, and (c) continued to set a horrible example to this county’s young ...
Here’s Richard Moore’s write-up about what happened during deposition in the Ron Price lawsuit against Richard and his wife Debbie. There are two big reasons why I’m posting it here too: one, because Richard gives his perspective on what happened when Doug Hux interrogated me. And two, because Richard Moore, although he’s not the lousy blogger like Ron Price is, is a man who just can’t leave stuff consistent on his Political Soup website. Richard, haven’t you heard of archiving stuff?! Anyhoo here it is for permanent record (and with proper citation, which I always do anyway)…
D-DAY NOVEMBER 15, 2007. It wasn’t exactly the allies storming the beach at Normandy, but it was a bloody, painful assault on one witness. I am talking about Deposition Day in the Ron Price defamation lawsuit against my wife ...
