They're Not Me. Palin & O'Donnell Aren't Anyone. They're Political Freaks of Nature.

They're not me.  They're not anyone I know. They are freaks of political nature. 

Who?

Sarah Palin and Christine O'Donnell.  Caribou Barbie and the Missing Halliwell Sister , who may or may not be a Born Again Virgin .

They both have been tarted up and pimped out, but seriously after listening to them for five minutes how can you take them seriously?

I find it interesting the parallels  and not just the bobble-head worthy comments showing basic ignorance about this country, issues and U.S. History- but the freedom they both feel with spending other people's money while claiming fiscal conservatism.

Sarah Palin spent money like a house on fire during her campaign, and Christine O'Donnell has been accused by former staffers of using campaign monies on personal expenses? Shit, I didn't make it up, it's in the Boston Globe today along with the news that for some reason, freaky girl can't keep her help -treasurer particularly.

The Globe says:


WILMINGTON, Del. — Republican Christine O’Donnell has parted ways with yet another campaign treasurer and appointed her campaign manager to the position, making her the fifth since launching her bid for Senate last year.

Campaign finance specialists say the turnover is highly unusual and could raise questions at the Federal Election Commission about her financial reporting.


Campaign treasurers, which are required by the FEC, are legally responsible for the accuracy of spending and contribution reports.....Two former staffer members have also accused O’Donnell of using campaign money for personal expenses.


 The latest O’Donnell treasurer to leave is Sandra Taylor, who began in August and lasted less than two months. Campaign manager Matt Moran is now listed as treasurer in reports filed in early October.

Of course if that doesn't get you, her bobble head knowledge levels are dangerously close to "I read every newspaper" Palin, and you have that catchy Wicca angle just in time for Halloween. Good lord, have you seen the O'Donnell  thing on Huffington Post called The Craziest Things Christine O'Donnell Has Ever Said (PHOTOS) ?

Let's see...some O'Donnell pearls of wisdom...ahhh yes - Masturbation = Adultery , "I dabbled into witchcraft. I never joined a coven." , and one of the best "American scientific companies are cross-breeding humans and animals and coming up with mice with fully functioning human brains." (Which of course means that someone must have transplanted a mouse's brain into her head, right?)

I get the knee jerk reaction to change some of the status quo, but Christine O'Donnell is dangerous and Delaware and the United States Senate don't need a mini-me of Sarah Palin with a taste for even more of the ridiculous.

She's not me.

Now onto Sarah Palin, which is what almost made me spit out my tea at 7 a.m.    Sarah Palin in that coy as a long haul truck driver way of hers was reported on the news this morning as dancing around the 2012 Presidential Race.  And yep found it in the New York Times Blog The Caucus - so I have to ask maybe Dancing With the Stars can work out a deal with her, where Thunder Thighs early breeder Bristol Palin her daughter will take the title and Mama Grizzly Bear will go back to Alaska and stay there? (I mean why else is Bristol Palin still on the show? She sucks and has thighs like a sumo wrestler) 

And as the Washington Post Post Partisan Blog says:

Republican Establishment types are freaked because Mama Grizzly Sarah Palin is using the enthusiasm of her Tea Party base to endorse candidates across the country, raise barrels of cash for Sarah PAC and lay the foundation for a presidential run in 2012. Add to that her name recognition and ability to drive the political press corps wild with 140 characters, and the half-term governor of Alaska and 2008 vice presidential nominee is almost unstoppable. Emphasis on almost.

What this blogger focuses his piece on is a front page story in New York Magazine - the article is titled 2012: How Sarah Barracuda Becomes President/Why do you think Barack Obama is being so nice to Michael Bloomberg? By John Heilemann

Snarky says read it.  And be afraid, very, very afraid.

I still can't stand Sarah Palin. 

She's not me.

Wake up Delaware and the rest of this country!  Yeah, OK, Obama has really sucked thus far - the man we all though he is got lost in the political machine.  But that doesn't mean go to the other extreme and elect one bobble head political virgin  to the United States Senate representing Delaware.  And if O'Donnell doesn't like a female blogger telling her she is nuttier then Jim Schneller (and who thought that was possible), too bad.

And let's also make sure Caribou Barbie, Mama Grizzly Bear, whatever you want to call Sarah Palin doesn't go anywhere near DC as an elected official.  There is a LOT wrong in this country, but electing these two women to anything other then disturbed prom queen is a fool's errand.

You don't balance and fix what is broken in this country by putting certifiable nut jobs in office. 

I don't know who Palin and O'Donnell Are, but they're not me.  Don't let them be you, either.

Just say no.

Thank You Bryan Lentz!

Thank you Bryan Lentz for showing your true colors and Tricky Dick mentality well in advance of election day.

Thank you Bryan Lentz for a clear reason to vote against you.

Thank you Bryan Lentz for the gift of Jim Schneller.

Jim Schneller is against a woman's right to choose, even in the case of incest and rape.  Jim actively pickets against a woman's right to choose with all those other freaks who hoist dead baby pictures. He also seems to have gay rights issues doesn't he?

Jim Schneller is unemployed  and many wonder where his money comes from to live in his rented condominium in St. David's PA?  Has he looked for work or is he some squirmy trust fund baby?  Jim Schneller thinks Obama isn't a U.S. citizen and you have to wonder if that is his real issue with Obama or is it something a little more basic? 

And this political freak of nature who is so bent even tea partiers wants nothing to do with him?  This is Bryan Lentz's gift to the 7th district.

Bryan Lentz played the boy scout for years, even had me fooled for a long time. 

First Bryan said "I don't know how Schneller got on the ballot"

Then Bryan batted his eyes and kept changing the topic.

But the questions kept coming and finally Bryan had to admit he knew all about getting Schneller on the ballot and condoned this shit eating behavior.

If Bryan Lentz can lie about this, what else will he lie about given the chance?  It really is just that simple.

(And just out of curiosity, where is that notary public toting signature gathering Swarthmore genius Colleen Guiney? How long can she hide?)

Now Jim Schneller is claiming fowl and clucking like a chicken that "he knew nothing" .  Bullshit.

My womb is my business and I thought Bryan Lentz respected that? Since he put Schneller on the ballot that means he in fact does not, so everyone might as well vote for Patrick Meehan.

In the 11th hour, the Schneller-Lentz connections are being investigated, but that is typical for most Delco elections - at the 11th hour someone is always sniffing someone else's toilet bowl and rooting through the trash.

But the simple truth is this: a vote for Schneller is a vote for Lentz.  So send them both home without supper. Vote for Patrick Meehan for Congress in the 7th.

Bryan Lentz needs to reap what he sowed.   Maybe he dragged Joe Biden out to Wayne, but he still dragged along Jim Schneller. 

So thank you Bryan Lentz.  Thank you for showing who you are to make it easier for people to choose anyone BUT you.

Pimp and Circumstance in Radnor

Can we just be honest here?  If it was Sarah Palin who wanted to Pimp Meehan at Radnor High School it still would have been inappropriate.

This pre-election bullshit is just Pimp and Circumstance.

Who the freak cares?  What is this about?  This is about some donkeys shitting their pants because maybe, just maybe the national stain of political reality is hitting too close to home with one lackluster candidate in particular, and we aren't talking about Sestak necessarily (although he'd best watch his back because political weasels like Toomey should not be underestimated)  - this is more about the Lentz factor.  Lentz has farted up his own campaign and why the hell should everyone else put up with the crap?

Biden showing up now is not about any of us, it's all about Pimp and Circumstance. And we are not political tools, so our politicians should refrain from acting like tools.

And George Badey of the Radnor Dems whining and crying foul? Give me a break and change that saggy diaper.  Save your bullshit and moral outrage for people who might believe it.

Veep and Prez visits are expensive.  Communities pay more for them via taxpayer component then any municipality might ever charge back to a campaign. 

And this visit was to be in the middle of a taxpayer funded school day originally?  So the Democrats could have a captive audience and sound byte for the local and network news?  So Bryan Lentz could have a moment without his new political wife, James Schneller?

Bull.

So they moved it to another Radnor location.  Sulpizio Gym. Wednesday 9 a.m.  It will disrupt everything.  But for five seconds, it will all be nicey nice in Radnor for the Radnor democrats and Bryan Lentz.

What a crock.  Nagle will get his photo taken and it will be just like when Lisa Paolino pimped it out to have her photo taken with McCain. Big whoop. 

And as for Badey, Georgie Porgie Pudding and Pie if the Radnor Democrats are true fiscal conservatives you should not whine like a Big Bashore-Like Baby- CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS, PAL.

Delco Times Visit by VP Biden for Lentz moved from Radnor High

Published: Tuesday, October 26, 2010


A planned rally for 7th District congressional candidate Bryan Lentz featuring Vice President Joe Biden at Radnor High School has apparently been moved.


The Wednesday morning Lentz rally now will be held at Sulpizio Gym, 125 Wayne Ave. in the Wayne section of Radnor Township, at 9 a.m. Wednesday.

The move comes after the campaign of Republican Pat Meehan raised the issue of who would pay for the political event at a public high school.

The Democrat Lentz and Meehan have been engaged in a bitterly contested battle for the 7th District seat being vacated by U.S. Rep. Joe Sestak, D-7 of Edgmont, who is giving up the seat to run for hte Senate.

It now appears Radnor High School will not be rolling out the welcome mat for Biden...."Pat Meehan should apologize to the schoolchildren of Delaware County," said George Badey, Radnor Township Democratic Committee Chairman. Badey believes members of the majority Republican school board are behind attempts to cancel the event, at the request of Republican Congressional candidate Pat Meehan.


On Monday, Meehan's campaign called on Lentz to disclose who's paying for the trip.

"Radnor High School is a public school, funded with taxpayer dollars, and Bryan Lentz should be required to reimburse taxpayers for all costs associated with this political trip," said Bryan Kendro, campaign manager for Pat Meehan.

Biden's visit requires extensive security and travel arrangements. The Meehan campaign says "voters deserve to know who is paying for this campaign junket."



Joe Biden's scheduled appearance moved after complaints

10 p.m.: Dismissed by school district, Biden to speak at township facility

Published: Tuesday, October 26, 2010
Main Line Suburban Life/Sam Strike
A visit by Vice President of the United States Joseph Biden, who was to stump for Democratic congressional candidate Bryan Lentz on Wednesday at Radnor High School, will be relocated to a Radnor Township facility, according to a township official.

The rally for Lentz, a State Representative candidate in Pennsylvania’s 7th Congressional District, was cancelled after it had been publicized for Wednesday morning at the school. ...The township is considering holding the event at the Sulpezio Gym in Wayne, a gymnasium owned by the school district but leased by the township, or at the Radnor Township municipal building, said John Nagle, president of the township’s Board of Commissioners.

As for comment on the matter, president of the Radnor Township School Board Greg McNicholas issued this statement: .... it became apparent that the visit was a ‘Rally in Honor of Bryan Lentz’ at which the Vice President would be making an appearance. As such, the school district determined not to participate,”

But George Badey, chair of the Radnor Democratic Committee, said it has been cancelled because of what he called “petty, partisan reasons” and that it is “nothing short of outrageous.”

Shut the F up Baby Badey...unless of course you will be leading by fiscal example and writing a big FAT check to go with your big FAT mouth.

Lentz: From Political Boy Scout To Political Douche Bag, The Continuing Schneller Saga

Duh, Bryan Lentz, Did You Think People Would Thank You For The Gift of Schneller?

Bryan Lentz, you are a dumb assed douche bag.  Everyone knew you knew about getting Schneller on the ballot. 

And that takes you from Boy Scout to Camp Fire Turd.

If you had just been honest from jump it was a campaign strategy instead of playing political possum, I might not snark on your ass.

But nooooo...

Let's do a Schneller-recap shall we:

In July, 2009, Schneller sent what could be construed as a threat to this blog via a comment

schnlj@aol.com said...


Jim Schneller here. I object to the Hawatha entry and request that you and/or Hawatha remove the entry, because of it's falsehood and direct insults. I've hoped you'd remove the blog post itself out of decency by this time, and now I am forced to object to it, and I demand retraction and removal of the blog, for the same reasons.

July 21, 2009 10:06 AM 


Then in September 2009, we learn Schneller will be protesting Planned Parenthood in Wayne, PA

In November 2009 we learn that Schneller is running for congress.  (oh be still my heart)

So time goes by and earlier this summer we learn that Lentz's campaign put Schneller on the ballot (making Jim and Bryan the "it" couple of the summer of 2010.  Only of course Bryan first had no knowledge of this, to playing possum, to admitting it?)

So Bryan Lentz became a douche bag in my mind.  I don't want to hear the babyish "well the Delco Republicans do this stuff" because it doesn't wash and is as old as last season's Lily Pulitzer and this season's Tory Burch.  Bryan, Bryan,Bryan didn't your mommy tell you two wrongs don't make a right?

In any event, here we are.  And Snarky says if a Vote for Schneller is a Vote for Lentz, and a Vote for Lentz is a Vote for Schneller then don't vote for either of them.

Here are a couple of doozies as far as articles go:

Independent Schneller makes waves in 7th race

Published: Sunday, October 24, 2010
By DANIELLE LYNCH
dlynch@delcotimes.com

Jim Schneller, 55, of the Wayne section of Radnor, is running as the Independent conservative candidate in the 7th Congressional District race.


Schneller has described himself as a fiscally conservative pro-life reformer who wants to rein in spending at the federal level. He said there should be a focus on both small- and medium-sized businesses.

Schneller, who will be listed on the ballot as a member of the American Congress Party, has said he worked at New York City’s department of licensing. He said he has also worked as a sales and marketing executive.

There was significant controversy when Schneller obtained enough signatures to get on the ballot in early August. Democratic candidate state Rep. Bryan Lentz, D-161, of Swarthmore, recently admitted that his volunteers assisted Schneller with the collection of signatures.

Jim Schneller: Delco Dems' great right hope
By WILLIAM BENDER
Philadelphia Daily News
benderw@phillynews.com 215-854-5255

IT WASN'T until August, as the deadline approached for third-party candidates to file their nominating papers, that Jim Schneller says he began to realize he was an unwitting conspirator in a Machiavellian political ploy hatched by Delaware County Democrats.


The plan was simple: Gather enough signatures to secure Schneller's spot on the 7th Congressional District ballot so he could serve as a spoiler candidate, splitting the conservative vote with Republican former U.S. Attorney Pat Meehan and propelling Democratic state Rep. Bryan Lentz to Washington.

Except that no one told Schneller, 54, an unemployed right-wing activist from the Main Line, that he was the bait to lure voters away from Meehan, he says. He just thought that the "volunteers" who hit the streets for him were being helpful. "I'm a victim," Schneller now admits. "I'm a victim of conspiracy."....But transcripts of Commonwealth Court depositions reviewed by the Daily News point to an organized effort among Democratic leaders and committee people - a Lentz campaign worker played a central role - that concluded with an Aug. 1 meeting in the insurance office of Rocco Polidoro, a Lentz supporter who ran as a Democrat for County Council in 2007.

"We had a petition-notarizing event - a party, with snacks - and I met all of the folks who had gathered my signatures," Schneller said of the meeting at Polidoro's office the night before petitions were due in Harrisburg.

"When [the signatures] started to roll in, in the thousands, it dawned on me that there was some kind of foul play," he said.

The notary, according to court depositions, was brought in by Colleen Guiney, a Democratic committeewoman and leader of the Swarthmore Democratic Party. Lentz previously described her as "the hardest worker on my campaign." Schneller said that neither Guiney nor anyone else disclosed their Democratic Party positions or ties to the Lentz campaign.

"I was really surprised that Colleen was a party operative," Schneller said last week....Guiney won't comment on her role, either. But in the days after Schneller's signatures were filed, several Democrats who had helped gather them dismissed any suggestion that their support for Schneller was designed to hurt Meehan.


Abu Rahman, president of the Delco Asian American Democratic Association, said he heard of Schneller from a friend and thought it would be a good idea to have a third candidate in the race.

"If not, the election is not interesting enough," said Rahman, whose wife, Shelly, a Democratic state committeewoman, also signed the Schneller petition. But, Rahman added, "I'm a very big supporter of Bryan."

"The more, the merrier," said Arthur Manos, a Democratic committeeman and union representative with United Food and Commercial Workers Local 152. Manos hadn't met or spoken with Schneller before dropping off the signatures at Polidoro's office, according to his deposition.

"I kind of like having a choice on the ballot," said Richard Cairns, a Swarthmore Democrat and Lentz supporter who also delivered his Schneller signatures at that meeting.

Cairns, a general contractor, had a different political philosophy leading up to the 7th District's Democratic primary in May. He filed ballot challenges against Democratic candidates Gail Conner and E. Teresa Touey in an effort to clear the primary field for Lentz.

As a result, a judge removed Touey from the ballot. Conner dropped out of the race, leaving Lentz as the sole Democratic candidate....After months of silence, Lentz finally acknowledged the obvious Tuesday during a meeting with the Delaware County Daily Times editorial board that was live-streamed online. He said he was aware that his supporters were helping Schneller, who would challenge Meehan "from the right."


"I did not see it to be a mortal sin to help him get the remaining amount of signatures that he needed," Lentz told the editorial board.

Lentz has since declined to elaborate on that statement, or to say whether he or his campaign had asked his supporters to collect the signatures. "I want to get people back to focusing on the difference between me and Meehan," Lentz said Saturday.

State and county Democratic Party bylaws prohibit committee members from supporting candidates opposed to the party. Asked Friday whether Guiney and the other committee members might have violated those bylaws, Delaware County Democratic Party Chairman David Landau said he wasn't sure.

"That's an internal matter for the party, and nobody has complained about it," Landau said. "I have not really looked into that issue."


Just for the record, I don't believe Schneller.  I notice how this article says Schneller doesn't work, so where does his money come from?  Does he own his home?  I normally wouldn't care except he claims to be a tea partier, so perhaps that is a fair question?

Delco Democrats are proving to be as dirty as Delco Republicans.   David Landau, a kid in kindergarten can figure out Lentz and his people violated by laws.

Can we say now that Delaware County and Southeastern PA can't afford Bryan Lentz?  After all if he takes dirty tricks short cuts to get where he is going, what else will he do if he gets there?

Go To Jail Suzanne, Maybe Martha Stewart Will Visit You

Ol'  Suzanne Lammers will not pass go - she's going to jail...for a while.  The family of the boy she hit, predictably they are now looking for a payday.  Bet the media recluses will be media sluts now, eh?

I feel sorry for the little boy Lammers mowed down (oh"deer" and all)...he's still in the middle of all these misbehaving adults.

I hear Suzanne puked in court?  Was there a monogrammed barf bag? Or a Little Brown Barf Bag?

  I hear some Main Line notables were in the court room too? Poor things, supporting their own? Guess it's the Christian thing to do, not that can anyone expect of her if roles were reversed, right?   And finally her daughter Alexandra and her new hubby? 'Bout damn time one of those kids showed up.

Given the civil affair, the loop is still not closed on this one....will Lammers be chucked from her clubs?

They will all gossip about her like a vicious pack of jackals...probably like she would do...the Main Line is full of bullshit assholes, after all.  She deserved jail time, even Martha Stewart went to jail.  But honestly, I don't know if even this tough old bird will survive jail - undoubtedly as much as anything else the judge wants to humble the old bird, but probably she doesn't get it.    And just out of curiosity, did she ever say sorry to the boy? Did she make a statement in court or was her barfing her statement?

But the family of the boy she hit, what will they gain from the civil suit?  I hear the boy's mama married "well" the second time around as my Aunt Emmaline used to say? So if they don't need the money, now that justice has been served, why be a pack of greedy bitches about it?  But that might come out in the wash anyway since is it true civil court judges don't like it when people springboard civil suits off of criminal cases?

Main Line Times > News-Hit-and-run driver, Lammers, sent to prison


Published: Thursday, October 21, 2010

The driver of the hit-and-run incident that occurred in Bryn Mawr one year ago has been sent to prison.



Suzanne Lammers, 77, of Villanova, was taken into custody on Thursday morning.

Lammers was sentenced to 90 days to 23 months in Montgomery County Prison and one year probation after pleading guilty in July to charges for a hit-and-run crash that severely hurt a teenager in Bryn Mawr.
Villanova socialite headed to big house PHILADELPHIA /BRIAN HICKEY
Published: October 21, 2010 9:40 p.m.

When Suzanne Lammers was told she’d be spending the next three months of her life behind bars, she started to cry. She was led out of the Norristown courtroom in handcuffs.


Though her attorney argued for house arrest, the 77-year-old Main Line woman who pleaded guilty to the July 2009 hit-and-run that nearly killed a 13-year-old in Lower Merion was sentenced to three months in jail, one year probation and 200 hours of community service.

“She’s been running and hiding every since, and now she’s trying to evade punishment,” Judge William R. Carpenter said of the socialite who hid the car in her Villanova garage and told police she thought she hit a deer. Quoting Bob Dylan, he added, “Even the nobles get properly handled once the cops have chased after and caught ’em.”

Hit-run socialite, 77, sent to prison By Bonnie L. Cook INQUIRER STAFF WRITER

Suzanne K. Lammers, the Main Line woman who pleaded guilty in a hit-and-run car accident this summer, was taken to jail this morning after being sentenced to at least 90 days in prison.


During an hour-long hearing in Norristown, Montgomery County Judge William R. Carpenter ordered Lammers, 77, to begin serving her sentence immediately.

She sagged onto the defense table and seemed physically ill after hearing the sentence. Shaking, she asked the sheriff for a wastebasket and threw up in it.

The judge said he chose jail over house arrest because of her initial failure to come forward....The defense offered seven persons to attest to Lammers' character, including Isaac H. and Barbara Clothier, members of an old Main Line family.


Only two testified. Dr. Horace MacVaugh, a longtime family friend, said he had known Lammers for more than three decades.


The Rev. Judith Sullivan depicted Lammers as a longtime member of the Episcopal Church of the Redeemer in Bryn Mawr, and as active in charity and Bible studies.

"Mrs. Lammers is known to be a kind and good-hearted person who would never knowingly hurt anyone," Sullivan said.

But in his closing argument, Montgomery County Deputy District Attorney Thomas McGoldrick scoffed at the notion that Lammers treated others with care.

"That's not who she is," McGoldrick argued. "She never came forward. Thirteen days went by, and she's out living her life, driving around in a pickup truck.

"Not until later [July 28], when police confront her, does she finally admit to being involved in the crash at New Gulph Road and Bryn Mawr Avenue. A caring and compassionate person doesn't do that."....The Mallee family has filed a civil suit, which is expected to progress now that the criminal matter is resolved. Richard J. Hollawell, the Mount Laurel attorney handling the case, attended the hearing.


He said afterward that the next step would be to depose Lammers, but that wouldn't happen until after she has served her time in jail.

The Mallee family got good old fashioned justice today. The system worked, the system didn't see a blue blood. So why the tawdry civil suit? So little Andrew's mommy can have some new baubles or a bit of botox?  Why not move on? I guess if we didn't know that Andrew's mama "married well" , maybe then it could be theorized they need a civil suit to pay his expenses.  But that isn't the case is it? So now we will be watching the side show of New Money attacks Old Money.

How divine....because we know that nevver evver happens, right?

Reserving the Right To Just Snark About It

I don't burn my bras and think women should look pretty and not like Botox babes or silicone lipped puffer fish. 

Even though I am a modern blogging gal, I would still prefer to have a real conversation and revel in the civility of coffee and tea with my pals.
And living in the land of Real Housewives of the Main Line, some of you just crawl on my last nerve - hence the blog.  So yes, I revel in my ability to be a bitch and snark about it!

This blog started in 2007 to give me a place to vent and mock those deserving of the honor. After all the Main Line in damn annoying at times.  I think this blog is a potpourri of fun, even if sometimes I don't have the time to blog as often  as I used to.  And the other thing is this: if I don't have something to say, I am not just going to blog so a new post pops up.


So darling snarkophants, never fear, just snarky is still here....an original that some have tried to replicate...but at the end of the day...I reserve the right to just snark about it and there is no substitute!

And this weekend, support the 3 day for the cure, you hear?  And come election day, whatever you do, do NOT vote for Pat Toomey or Tom Corbett.  If you do, you will regret it as much as Bryan Lentz has regretted making Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs  Schneller his bitch.

Ardrossan Forgotten?



So Eddie Scott, AKA Edgar III , AKA Eddie the Heir has been trotting about town, has he? And what is Eddie trotting around about?  At a cocktail party recently, someone suggested perhaps he has a new development plan for Ardrossan?

So what's up?  Other then the mansion is rotting of course. 

 Artists and photographers show interest and continue to paint and photograph images captured at this grand estate.  But since Radnor voters said o.k. to some preservation in 2006, what has happened??? 

Give up??
NOTHING HAS HAPPENED. 

Who knows if Eddie The Heir will even preserve the mansion and various structures that still dot the estate. 

I mean other then the occasional lame program like the one they did in March at Radnor Library  , or the sporadic article in publications like Main Line Today Magazine, is anything happening?   Eddie The Heir's company website boasts the future carving up of Radnor history....Eddie the Heir makes his bones selling properties like this...but will he preserve any of Ardrossan?  Or will Ardrossan quietly fade away until it is no more?

Fabulous OLD Main Line Manse + (Builders + Social Climbers) = ?

Well???  What will it be at Poplar House?  I predict something stucco and boring in place of elegant and fabulous. Cas Holloway is not imaginative as a builder, is definitely NOT a restorationist and WHO are these people who have purchased Poplar House? The Nerneys? What in the hell is wrong with them?  What in the hell is wrong with Radnor for never preserving land tracts like this?  I mean how many years are they going to trip over themselves for Eddie Scott? Has Scott ever said he would definitely preserve Ardrossan's Mansion house or any of the other properties?

Good Lord!  Here they drool over the black mold in the Willows Cottage and that stupid committee looks like it is headed by Jean Luc Picard and his side tart Skipper.  Yet Poplar House? Nada a god damn thing.

Someone from RHS has thrown up a website that also has a petition

Time to get out the pickets, Radnor.  Or sit down and shut up about it. Whatever.  I would like to see it saved, but don't see it happening.  Face it, the Main Line is destined to look like one giant ugly planned community.
