GE and ACN deserve each other.

Yupette, I just heard at the Republican Committee meeting that the first Jane Barcroft novel is going to be made into a MOVIE. I heard Jack Black plays John Antonelli.

Yupette, anyone know how much ACN owed its unsecured creditors when ACN filed for bankruptcy?

Yo, "Jane Barcroft" aka John Antonelli and Karen Murray better set aside a big chunk of the royalties to defend themselves from defamation and slander suits. At least one Arlingtonian who was trashed by the novel is looking for an opportunity to sue them. And he has the money to do it. Pretty stupid for an author of a slanderous novel to admit in writing that the novel was slanderous.

Yupette, I heard thzt the unsecured creditors were owed between $4 million and $5 million when ACN filed for bankruptcy.

Duh said...

Pretty stupid for an author of a slanderous novel to deny she and her next of skin wrote it when asked point blank by dozens of people, including a Wash Post reporter.

Hi Yupette, there's another novel, about the Jane Barcroft Gang, in the works.

"Oh dear, those terrible Latinos are again disturbing the tranquility of my lovely Barcroft neighborhood with a pandemic of insipid salsa music. No, Mittens I shan't allow you to urinate on their feet. THAT my dear Puss, is reserved for my dearest patients. Instead, I shall call that paradigm of righteousness, and my good, oh what shall we say, Mittens, good partner in crime novels, John Pestosmelly, to contact the local constabulary and circulate malicious rumors about the perpetrators of unpleasant music.

Let's not trash the parent company of one of the made wise guys in the Jane Barcroft Gang, Smitty McCaffrey.

Antonelli comes from a New England crime family. He's like Rudy Guiliani.

Hey, J.A., tell us who you and Kate sold the novel to so we can get an address for serving legal papers.

What else is the Sun Gazette but a bunch of editorial drivel and lots and lots of ads for expensive real estate?

Latest regarding American Community Newspapers LLC, aka GE Capital Corporation? Well, GE Capital Corporation aka ACN LLC, is seeking an emergency ruling from the Federal District Bankruptcy Court in Wilmington to terminate various office leases ASAP. Anyone know what General's Electric's revenue was last year?

Bob A. said...

Knowing them and not especially liking them going back about 10 years in the Arlington Republican Party. So, what is the difference between Karen Murray and John Antonelli?

She smells like a goat. He smells like a pig.

I am sure they are fine Republicans otherwise.

I am also sure the film version of their novel will smell about like their novel.

Have a McDonnell Day.

GE will have about $12 billion in profits this year.

Don said...

Jane Barcroft? More of the same old same old in Arlington. Do your thing for a decade or two then find better opportunities elsewhere, leaving a mess behind when you leave.

Speaking of creepy neo-cons, how about McDonnell and Cuccinelli? Latest from McDonnell is his lies about contraception, which he does not oppose...for legally married couples. Bonus points if it's a "covenant marriage."

Cindi said...

Cuccinelli is not only a creepublican but dangerous. He wants to allow Pro-Life in Virginia to do what what the Bush Administration allowed Pro-Life to do across the USA, wage a terror campaign against womens' health care providers.

Anonymous said...

Who exactly is the "Jane Barcroft" gang and are they somehow connected to Cuccinelli, and is he connected to the same crime family?

Green Guy said...

The "Jane Barcroft Gang" is a group of Arlington Republicans who use various media as well as malicious rumors, gossip, etc. to trash Greens and progressives. Their own lives and activities are totally off-limiits.

Anonymous said...

They are basically "Re-Segregation Through Gentrification" activists.

Westover said...

The other Republicrats are almsot as bad, starting with Gentrification J. Fisette.

Does this mean Jack Black takes a bullet in the ass?

I hope John and Karen win a few million in a lottery and leave town, win-win for everyone.

Anonymous said...

If they sell the movie rights they won't need the lottery. They'll could just buy the whole damn town.

Anonymous said...

Wish Zimmerman, Favola, Fisette, and a number of Republicans also won a few million in a lottery.

Pikester said...

Arlington's pathetic. Same old. Same old. Antonelli's part of the bi-partisan rumor machine. Thats how the "Republicrats" control Arlington, with malicious gossip and rumors.

moderate said...

Antonelli circulated drafts of the novels among the same Arlington Republicans who start malicious rumors. So "Jane Barcroft" is a team effort.

About GE, the media and entertainment subsidiary of GE is huge. Wonder where a mickey-mouse local news organization will fit in.

The "Jane Gang" are corporate welfare neocons who think that taking an express bus from Gainesville to Arlington on I-66 is "socialism." They're total a$$holes.

Same Grover Norquist pigs who were cheerleaders for Bush-Cheney.

Didn't Antonelli almost cause a riot because of his inflammatory comments at County Board meetings when Arna Valley was being re-developed?

Anonymous said...

Yeah, and what is the phobia he and Karen have about living near Latinos?

Duh said...

Dude, it's called "xenophobia". Xenephon. Second year prep school Greek. The Anabasis.

Seen McCaffrey's blog lately? He's another "Jane Barcroft" wacko. Who hasn't Scotty aka Smitty attacked recently?
