Not surprisingly he couldn’t just say NO. Replying to the challenge asking him to essentially ‘put up or shut up’, engaged in a long rant, (for which he is apparently locally renowned) and instead asked me to call in Monday where he will dissect our challenge and reveal us as addle brained buffoons. Here are some tidbits
Ms. Geddry:
I have no intention of lowering myself to address such a sophomoric “challenge”.
The nature of your questions themselves indicate your total lack of understanding of the operation of governmental bodies as well as the laws and ordinances governing public officials.
Eventually he ends up here
I invite you to call my radio show on Monday, April 28 between 3:00 and 4:00 PM. The number is 267-2124. I will be discussing with my listeners your “challenge”. I will afford you all the time you want to present your position and demonstrate to a broad audience the depth of your ignorance.
I’m sure you will use your column or blog to further vilify me but that’s OK. I have facts and documentable information [emphasis mine] to support my positions unlike your hearsay reporting.
Gosh, our challenge was to produce those very ‘facts and documentable information’ (syntax errors are his, not mine) but he WILL NOT DO IT! Alas, we must take him at his word because he is not going to show us his cookies.
He may wish to carry this forward but remember the old saying about wresting with pigs…’you both get dirty and the pigs love it’. Hence my reply
Thank you for the reply, Mr Bice, and for living up to the opinions of my readers and your reputation as a ‘hit and run’ offender. As stated on my blog, I do not engage in forums without professional editorial guidelines from the sponsoring media, so feel free to spend a second week vilifying me without fear of intrusion upon your worm’s eye view of local politics, I can assure you, I will not be listening.
Regards,
Mary Geddry

In my ferver, I forgot this link, same as Cajuns:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yge311sFhC8
OMGAWD Cajun, that video IS my new anthem. I am going to listen and watch for days, thank you !!!!
You know Cajun, you are just an upstart but “in the day” we used to phone in requests to those we loved and then sit back and enjoy the wonderful, warm, fuzzy feeling we got listening to it. It was such a time of innocence for us.
Today?
This Grammy is once again dedicating a song to someone. It is the entire Airport Board and staff, except the nice lady that really DOES work, and really DOES try to help the airport traveler, I’m sorry I don’t know her name, she runs the coffee shop. Thank her if you ever HAVE to spend time in that cavernous boon-doggle.
Also goes out to the entire SCDC, especially Jon Barton, trying to get another public teat in his mouth, kinda hard when he’s already got three or four !!! From the size of him, he outta spend more time walking instead of plotting how to suck some more public teat. Jon? You’ve succeeded in muzzling public dissent at The Inner World, but it ain’t gonna stop us.
Shame on you for trying to fit yer snout at another of Mamas’ teats. You obviously are the Alpha Male, considering the size of ya, is that why The Inside World so quickly does yer bidding?
Enjoy guys, your time is ending, you can order the corporate whores at The Inside World, but it’s too late, the public is on to all of you and the money you blow through every damn year, over and over and over again.
Listen fellas, that roof at LeTelliers’ Folly should do the trick, I’ll bring the champagne !!!!
Kevin,
This Bud’s For You!

Emotions are mixed in that office, although I must note that today I happened to walking down the hall towards elections and staff were wearing a decided red, white and blue, stars and stripes theme. Didn’t have time to really take it in but it oozed patriotism, at least in passing.
Perhaps all elections offices do that during elections.
Coos County Elections office has a real Bitch working the phone.
541-396-3121 ext 301
My wife did not receive the give Keven the boot recall ballot. They said she needs to re register by mail because of an address update. If there is time after that they will send out a ballot for the recall. I said I do not want to wait for the mail, I want her ballot. I was told that is just the way it works. So I got crazy with the Bitch & I will be hand delivering the paperwork & getting a ballot in exchange. Hmmm I wonder who’s side she is on? Last I checked she works for the taxpayer.
The world is changing… did anyone notice that an incumbent commissioner lost last election. People are paying attention. ‘The World’ however, may never change. I am still annoyed by the ‘editorial’, using ‘the end justifies the means’ meme to rationalize denying public process.
It is a bunch of bullshit! We should not have to make requests or write Bills to know what our elected officials are doing with our money. The world is going to change & when it does, it will come down on these clowns like a ton of bricks. This is about as civil & kind as I can be about the subject.
Imagine what a light that would shine. Meanwhile, I wade through mountains of public records, obtained by local citizens, only after filing public record requests, and try to tie this inconsistency with that spreadsheet… all to present to some ethics committee or some district attorney or some attorney general… a lot of work from a whole lot of people
Some people have the right idea.
Public Contracting Update. The House Rules Committee, chaired by Rep. Arnie Roblan, D-Coos Bay, listened to testimony on Monday and Wednesday this week on HB 2500, which would require the Department of Administrative Services to develop the “Open Books Oregon†website. This website would list state expenditures, revenues, state employee salaries, state agency contracting and subcontracting information, and other information about the workings of state government.
This bill incorporates portions of HB 2037, which as written, would have applied these provisions and more to local governments. Local government has been left out of HB 2500, however, it is the stated intention of the proponents of the bill to expand the requirements to local government in the future. Because HB 2500 does not impact counties at this time, AOC has not taken a position on this bill.
You mean I can sign up for a free porch with sandpaper stair treads & a hand rail? I bet I could get a date with one of my cousins if I had one of those…
Oh, you know, that structure used in civilized societies by, for and of the people to provide for the common good. Stuff like infrastructure, public safety, law enforcement, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness…
Whats a government?
Hell, Cajun, round here doesn’t much matter if its legal or not… we just bend the rules… look at our local government
Um, I won’t be available either, I have an appointment for a Brazilian Wax! Got to get one done before they make them illegal.

“EEEuuuuhhhhhh”
Always wondered how to spell that…
Darn it! I believe I am busy at that time… I think I am straightening my hair or maybe it is pruning my camellias or, oh yeah, that’s right, meeting with the State in Salem. Let his ilk rant and sway and fume and fester to their heart attack’s content. Rather a lot of energy he is spending on me considering all I write here is ‘drivel’. Really, I am only 5’5″ tall. What is he worried about?
But, but, but M, in order to contact you have to listen to the hillbilly show.
EEEuuuuhhhhhh.
Again, I want to repeat that regardless of whether Bicoastal Media is responsible for the content of his show, they play host to his show, derive some revenue for the bother, advertise his show, at least on their website and have encouraged me to listen to it and call in.
So, if you find the show objectionable complain to Bicoastal but most importantly write their advertisers and tell them how you feel. Stop shopping or using these businesses. Believe, if enough people express their disgust, and Bicoastal feels the dent in their pocketbook, the show will be gone.
M – YOU IGNORANT SLUT !!!
Ha! This old fossil probably has to wash his undies three times a day, excuse me, his Depends.
Scared shitless of a woman. If he can’t bash em, he ain’t going there. waa, waa, waa.
What a sad, sad man.
No wonder he and Kevin are buds.
I’ve never heard anyone refer to him and his advertising ‘paper’ he passes off as journalism, in anything but a laugh. Why doesn’t some one close to him try to help him understand he is now out of touch with the people of the county?
Po widdle thang.
Perhaps he could bond with the German downtown Coos Bay, he also, so I am told, acts manly, cuz he doesn’t have a clue how to actually have a discussion with a woman.
Perhaps his obsession with “poles and guns” is another sad example of Pecker Extentions. You know, the whole compensating thing.
Hey Guys? It happens, we’re sorry for ya.
