Your humble Blogmeister received this letter today from Athan Koutsiouroumbas, the only breath of fresh air that MCRC has had in the past 4 years.
In the letter, Ken explains why he will not be running for MCRC chairman for a third term.
He also blasts the internet and the "bloggers", who "know nothing" and "know neither victory or defeat", for riding his tuchus for the past 4 years (click on graphic to enlarge):
Hey, Ken...Newsflash: I ran for office last year...I lost that election (the defeat you mentioned in your letter?). I also am a "blogger". I guess that throws a wrench in you logic. I also choose not to be anonymous. And self important? Who has shown us more about "self-importance" than the guy who stacks the deck in his favor by appointing a crapload of committee people weeks before the MCRC reorganization two years ago, claiming "chairman's prerogative"?
As I said, I have known defeat. Perhaps, then, I criticize you, Ken Davis, for failing to see beyond the nose on your face–to see that the rank and file engaged committee person is the most important part of MCRC, not you or your last minute "vote-only" appointments.
Finally, I'm glad you're not running. I'm sure a lot of other committeepeople share in my sentiment. Have a great life, Mr. Davis. Oh, and when you leave MCRC headquarters for the last time on May 8th, don't forget to turn off the lights.
Read what Alex Charyna of pawatercooler.com has to say about this subject in todays "Montco Daily Dose"
And, have a great weekend!
B.
P.S. I love Ken's incredulous preclusion that Teddy Roosevelt was referring to bloggers when he made the statement about us "knowing neither victory or defeat"...hehe

Tony Phyrillas' blog has an important comment about Ken Davis' likely next move -- here it is:
"An insightful person put the following comment on Stan Huskey's blog (see the quoted material below, posted on Stan's Blog on 2/21/08). I bet that's Ken Davis' next slimy move:
"The Oracle said...
Hey Stan,
There is no doubt that Davis sees the writing on the wall. Do yourself a favor and make this prediction in the paper. It will come true.
Davis will step down and the chairmanship will be taken by another Asher puppet. This way, they will pit Bob Kerns against an incumbent Chair with no track record for anyone to bash.
HOPEFULLY, our committee people will see past this and give Bob Kerns a chance!!!

I might be breaking some of your rules if I blurted out what I'd really like to say in response to Davis' letter so I'll try to limit it to two things. #1 Mr Davis, you are no Theodore Roosevelt and #2 Letters like this are exactly why this arrogant ^&%$# and his cronies need to get out of Montco!
Bill,
The annonymous person who posted under the deceptive pseudonym "Bill Shaw's Conscience" on GrassrootsPa is at it again. (http://grassrootspa.com/?p=827)
This time he is posting on Tony Phyrillas' blog, using only the name "Annonymous". That annonymous comment is located at the following: http://tonyphyrillas.blogspot.com/2008/03/hold-applause-ken-davis-is-not-running.html
That annonymous person put the identical comment on the Phyrillas blog that he put on the GrassrootsPa blog.
There is then a responsive comment on the Phyrillas blog which states:
"PLEASE NOTE:
The above anonymous comment (that is supposedly from Michael Gulotta) was already posted on GrassrootsPA under the name "Bill Shaw's Conscience".
That post was not well-received on GrassrootsPa (1) due to the deceptive nature of the pseudonym used and (2) because the comment appeared to lack veracity or at least substantiation of the claims.
Naturally, Bill Shaw was the most offended that the anonymous person used his name as part of the pseudonym, and Bill Shaw said so in his reply.
Here’s the link to the GrassrootsPa blog article where that “Bill Shaw’s Conscience” comment was posted:

I would like to reply to the annonymous comment posted at 10:04 AM on March 10, 2008 regarding Ken Davis and Teddy Roosevelt (I know, I know. Those two names should never be uttered in the same sentence):
I like your style, and I couldn't agree more!!!
Ken Davis' audacity is unrivaled. He is no doubt going to try to pull strings to install a puppet as his replacement -- he has a vested interest, after all, because he makes his living as a paid lobbyest.
Hey Bill,
I thought you’d want to know that the anonymous person who called himself “Bill Shaw’s Conscience” in the comments section of GrassrootsPA is at it again. This time he posted his anti-Kerns (pro-Ken Davis puppet) comment on Tony Phyrillas’ blog, but he simply referred to himself as “Anonymous”. He put the same garbage on the Phyrillas blog as he did on the GrassrootsPA blog.
Here’s where his anonymous comment is located on the Phyrillas blog:
http://tonyphyrillas.blogspot.com/2008/03/hold-applause-ken-davis-is-not-running.html
By the way, there’s a comment on the Phyrillas blog that immediately addresses that anti-Kerns anonymous attack:
“PLEASE NOTE:
The above anonymous comment (that is supposedly from Michael Gulotta) was already posted on GrassrootsPA under the name "Bill Shaw's Conscience".
That post was not well-received on GrassrootsPa (1) due to the deceptive nature of the pseudonym used and (2) because the comment appeared to lack veracity or at least substantiation of the claims.
