He hasn't lost a step, has he?
"Two Toes the Torch of SRCI fame".........Good old waddling Vinnie. I wonder what the status of the arson investigation is.
Egads! Zennie?
It appears that that Frizzell doesn't plan on sharing everything (anything?) with you right now. The fifth column has infiltrated!

Greetings Group,
I would like to report on my meetings in Las Vegas last week. I met with Don Stoecklein and others in his office. Don is representing CMKM Diamonds, Inc. in the SEC proceeding. I had the pleasure of meeting Urban Casavant, Carolyn Casavant, Ron Casavant, Mike Williams, and Ed Dhonau. Anthony Demint, with Mr. Stoecklein’s office, was present during most of the meetings. There were other individuals present at different times during the day. Mr. Maheu was out of town and unavailable.
Don Stoecklein is spending long hours preparing for the hearing and guiding the work being done to have the proper financials filed. We have reviewed over 1200 pages of documents which were contained in the SEC’s administrative file. Witness lists and exhibit lists have been exchanged. We mutually agreed upon the terms of a confidentiality agreement. There is certain information which could only be disclosed to me with this confidentiality agreement in place. This was discussed prior to my visit to Las Vegas and was not unexpected. I must be privy to certain information to be able to be an effective advocate for our shareholders.
The company is (and has been) concerned about possible naked shorting of company stock. A plan for assessing the naked short position has been discussed. I cannot go into detail about the plan at this point. I can confirm that actions are contemplated which will identify the naked short position which may exist. We will be continuing this investigation as we prepare for the 12(j) hearing. I share any frustration you may have in my inability to disclose to you more specifically our plan at this point. I am trusting that as investors and business people you can understand why I might not be able to lay out in detail how we plan to document any abuses that may have occurred in this stock. I am convinced there are certain people dedicated to seeing this company fail. Some are members of your boards and pose as friends. They have even joined this group and call and email with innocent questions to see our progress. It would not be helpful to you as shareholders to disclose certain things to these people through this forum.
Questions about the float will be answered as we gather information in this investigation.
I have received requests for reserved seating at the hearing and I simply do not have any control over the seating problem.
We again ask for patience if you get this information from some source other than your chosen email. We have switched to a dedicated server that will allow us to handle a virtual unlimited number of emails.
The numbers of our group were discussed on several occasions during our meetings. There was discussion concerning some other companies that are currently battling the naked short issue. It was pointed out to me that we had one thing the other companies do not have-an educated and organized shareholder group. Of course I knew that but I was proud for you folks when I heard others make that comment. Our recent verified numbers are 1,948 shareholders owning 152 billion shares. I look forward to a visit with you on Wednesday or Thursday.
Bill Frizzell
P.S. Many of you will enjoy viewing the witness/exhibit lists which
have been posted on the group’s website.
Having witnessed the legendary Scordo charm, I must contend that his deft hand is needed. Face it. People instantly warm up to him.
Ken, I know you covet my advice....
Take Valerie, not Joey.
Matt Brown, report to my office.
How did the conference call go? Is the Donald on board yet?
I wonder if they would be strong-armed into issuing a "MLON mea culpa" p.r. also. (Please ignore everything we have ever said. Thank you.) That would be an interesting read.
Heidi Fleiss.
There's a third one?
That seems so extreme.
Don't look at me that way.
So Matt actually knows that I'm Urban Casavant?
Once you pay, you've used up your last bargaining chip.
If the SEC went that route, I'd guess that it would be to influence the appeals process.
Remove Derf from your list and it'll work fine. It did it for me.
The SEC will be a prohibitive favorite on game day.
I was involved in an administrative law action (not with the SEC but the same friendly federal government). It was not to be confused with an episode of Judge Judy.
The judge ruled on various procedural points during the hearing but asked no questions himself. Like the judge in this sordid matter, he was an employee of the agency initiating the action. It showed.
And not one attorney asked one witness one question to which he did already know the answer. It was simply a matter of getting everything on the record. As I've said before, it was a Roy Beanesque case of "Let's give them a fair trial and then hang them."
Old Jug Ears would be a wild card on the stand. No one wants that.
To what end? And who would possibly call him as a witness?
Give me a realistic scenario in which D. Roger Glenn would be forced to testify at this hearing.
He would claim attorney-client privilege to any question of even the slightest substance.
She finally figured out that there are two "L"s in bullet. I'm proud of her.
Hi, Fred
If the Founders "did not envision a role for political parties in the governmental order," it is because they wanted to limit the role of Joe Sixpack in the national electoral process.
They specifically excluded the United States Senate and the Presidency from a direct popular vote. Only members of the House of Representatives were to be chosen by the people.
In my state, for example, they envisioned the selection of three (count 'em, three) Presidential electors by a den of rogues known as the the state legislature. Those electors could then vote for the first President who ran unopposed ....twice.
Voting was a privilege to be enjoyed by white guys with property. Your parents generation was the first in which your father could vote for Senate and your mother could vote at all in national elections.
In short, you would have scared the hell out of the Founders.
I don't belong to a political party, but I do not view them as the betes noires of the electoral process. If they have in effect hijacked democracy, it is because an electorate composed largely of the fearful, the stupid, the lazy minded and the apathetic has allowed them to.
I'll give you the last word on this.
Thanks, but........
What happens in that case is when I want to wire money to Low at his little credit union from my bank it might actually go to Fleet Bank where the credit union maintains an account. They then notify the credit union that Low's account has a wire in for it.
I'd like a demonstration, please.
From the Bored on a Rainy Sunday Dept:
I have been told that all wire transfers "go through the federal reserve system," even a wire from one bank to a bank across the street. Does anyone know (a) if that's true and (b) what that means?
Political parties are the sine qua nons of representative democracies. They are simply not going away.
That said:
Yes, anyone can withdraw his support from any candidate or official for any reason at any time. Why would I continue to support someone with whom I no longer agree on policy? I am the public, Fred. I'm not Boss Tweed.
The idea that advancing/supporting the candidacy of a person with similar political, economic and/or social values constitutes "load(ing) the electoral process" is one with which I fundamentally disagree. It is no more than taking an active part in the democratic process.
And yes, there is a possibility that our proposal will be rejected. That's the way the cookie crumbles. I don't have a problem with that.
And when all is said and done, they'll win the division by a half dozen or more games..........again.
George may be speaking out again soon.
When you give up four earned runs in 5.1 innings and lower your ERA, that's probably not good.
Given what they call us now, I don't see a lot of downside.
Wright, Brown and Gordon are worrisome. The rest should be fine.
Wright stinks.
Clearly, it is a case of extortion gone awry.
100:1 takes Matt's "premium membership makes for a better poster" theory and singlehandedly shoots it to shit.
May I take my macaroon with me?
Noah Webstah. My vast research also reveals that what we think of a being the shell is really the fruit and what we eat as the nut is really the kernel.
Or maybe not. It was confusing.
Misery loves company, y'heah?
Wow, that reminds me of Biloxi. And tell Churak that ahmond is the preferred pronunciation.
What do you call them? Nucking Futs?
