It is shameful that these ROSSAC people get away with such horrible behavior. I hope the voters are reading your blog, so we can get some of them out!

The only language the ROSSAC people know is the international language (sex). It is truly a casting room couch over there, so I think the title of your blog fits. Everyone in the district knows that the people in the ROSSAC building would make any daytime soap opera or Dallas or Dynasty look like Mr. Rogers. All sorts of things are going on in ROSSAC.

My dear reader: you have confirmed my suspicions. Dumb people resort to sex because thinking is too hard. That formula would encompass the sorts who inhabit ROSSAC.

I have read every word that Freud and Jung wrote and have some irrefutable theories on this subject.

I first became aware of the erotic arc of ROSSAC politics in the promotion of Connie Mileto to the post of chief political officer in Tallahassee despite her lack of academic credentials (kindergarten bona fides) and Dr. Hamilton's besotted attention to this munchkin of stealth and opportunism. This Mileto promotion saga records yet another datum in the "There's no fool like an old fool" theory of human relations.

Hamilton's poor wife, a principal, I understand, in the county system and a good one, retired in heartbroken defeat and divorced the old coot is my information. Apparently, gossip was rampant from the board room to the mop closets during this seamy saga .

Connie got her job with her kindergarten credentials, thanks to an old goat's besotted patronage and went up to Tallahassee to lark amongst better erotic fodder than the aging administrator who sponsored her unearned, unmerited, unexplainable promotion.

Le Connie probably was glad to escape the no-doubt ejaculo-praecox attentions of Le Hamilton for the greener pastures of the Florida legislature, with prime-of-life rube dudes from the low-IQ Panhandle and points south, elected to serve the state despite their physiological and psychological deficiencies.

Back at ROSSAC, the erotic tradition carried on with Jennifer Falliera's stalking Mart Hart, who was married and had two young children caught in his adultery crosshairs. Saying to hell with the helpless little children exposed to taking the punishment of their parents' divorce by the Pole Girl, the unheeding Jennifer plied her trade of school Jezebel, snagged poor dumbass Marc, caused him to divorce his wife, caused his two young children psyche-warping sadness, dumped Marc after the divorce, made him lose his school job to protect her "reputation," All occured whilst divorcing her own spouse--alleged to have been as a county-school coach involved in a liaison with a county-school principal. One wonders how these satyrs have time to run the schools with so much illicit sex wafting about.

Falliera did not require child support from her former husband, a sign in my view that she bargained with him not to expose the reasons for the divorce because they might tarnish her political chances to re-election in Brandon. Whoever runs against her next year should leaflet Brandon with fliers with excerpts from her divorce deposition is my advice.


Betimes, the dumbclucks on the board named Pole Girl Falliera as chair, Attorney Gonzalez, possessed of selective ethics and who participated in Mr. Erwin's crucifixion, rebuked me for calling Falliera "pole girl."

Had community parents known of Falliera's conduct, this steamy history would have made them set up a howl about her chairing a school board supposed to oversee their children's wellbeing--physical, mental, and moral, They wouldn't want their children tainted by sexual didoes at school-board headquarters by the conduct of the Pole Girl chair.
Before I die I am going to get the board members who appointed La Falliera chair on a podium in front of a crowd of voters and ask them the question of why they did so.

As a matter of record, my resigning from La Gaceta had to do with Ms. Elia's covert threat to Patrick Manteiga that she would allow Ms. Kipley and Ms. Mileto, ROSSAC's vestal virgins in residence, to sue the paper because of my oblique references to sex's being a promotional maneuver at ROSSAC.

Patrick and I were always debating diction in my column that had any whiff of sex about it. He was a liberal boss, but he held the line against sexual references. Once I had to ditch "sleep with the fishes." I couldn't convince him that it had to do with Mafia murder, not kinky sex.

I do not have the personality to trim my sails as newspapers have to do. People sue newspapers, not individual bloggers, because newspapers have libel insurance. I will eat whether I write for a newspaper or on a blog. So I resigned--to Patrick's relief I believe--and now blog under the old red, white, and blue's First Amendment.


I urged Patrick to sic the ACLU on the school board because the ACLU loves such cases of a government agency such as the school board's trying to shut down the First Amendment rights of a newspaper--especially a Hispanic one with deep roots in the county's history.

If there is such a thing as Hispanic royalty in the area, it is the
La Gaceta Manteigas. The grandfather of Patrick, an intellectual who was a reader in an Ybor-City cigar factory, got kicked out of his job because the factory owners feared he would educate the workers about their right to organize. He then started La Gaceta because the downtown bigoted Angloes wouldn't print the Hispanic news in their flossy papers.

God help the school people who would sue La Gaceta. The area's Hispanics would make them sorry they got up in the morning.

I picked Casting-Room-Couch for my blog name because of this history; you are astute to spot that possibility. I bet Elia rues the day she tried to extort Manteiga. My blog is free of any editing whatsoever. So I can write about sexual dalliance if it strikes me as appropriate. I exposed Falliera for hurting those two little children of Hart's. What's a granny for if not to call out a woman who hurts little children with her selfish sexual indulgences and whom elected officials like those on the school board reward with the chairship of the board despite this vile behavior? To add the icing to the cake of this tale is that Falliera claims to be a born-again Christian and opposes sex education.

I think what we monitors of ROSSAC vigilant about is the possibility of the purchase of a railroad tank of IV Viagra for the failing libidos in y-chromosome ROSSAC ranks. We must not let the Viagra purchase evade us by rolling by on the Consent Agenda cover-up.

Then we can go on a tear of indignation, march on the board en
masse, and throw jell0-filled condoms at the podium pillars of hypocrisy during citizen-comment time.

I can hardly wait, but I don't know what to wear to condom-tossing event. I have yet to attend one.

I think Elia made this same mistake before in one of her speeches to people.

What a joke she is to lead an entire district. Her deficiencies go way beyond grammar mistakes. I bet Obama will at least be able to make informed decisions that take all stakeholders into account, something Elia is unable to do.

Elia heads a school system, yet she can't write her way out of a paper bag. She makes $300,000 a year because the ignoramuses who are board members share her philosophy that literacy doesn't matter.They covered up Elia's pre-planned hiring by advertising "nationwide" and using $35,000 of taxpayer money to pay for this cover-up. We do not deal with ethical people on the board or in the administration.

I nearly had a hissy recently when I found out Steve Hegarty, head of Public Affairs, got a raise of over ten thousand dollars, upping his take to almost $102,000, during the two years he has held the job despite his not being able to put a comma in the right place if his life depended on it. Public Affairs is about giving written information out to the public, folks. Lee

This is one of the most made mistakes, b/c people have gone overboard in correcting the "Michelle and me" b/c they have been corrected in doing that, but they don't realize they were corrected, b/c they used it as the subject. As the object it should be, as you say, "Michelle and me," but when speaking I hear so many people make this mistake b/c they are over-correcting and not thinking.

This is why a second language should be stressed in education. Learning a second language helps you understand the structure of your own language.

Presidential-elect Abuse of Pronoun Case


Mr. President: In your Chicago speech or maybe it was your first press conference, you said that the Bushes "invited Michelle and I [sic] to the White House."

The "I" should be "me" for object of the verb "invited."

For two years I sent you all my money saved from not buying a single dress or pair of shoes. That sacrifice requires a president who knows pronoun case. If you learned Constitutional law, you can master pronoun case.

The Beat Goes On


The Beat Goes On

Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "Message to School Board Candidate Kurdell":

The payoff did not occur on Elia's watch. It happened during the Leonard administration. Leonard's enforcer Hamilton did the dirty work along with a couple of other top level cronies.

The payoff for Hamilton never stops. Elia created two jobs for him so far that the board did not even remove from the consent-agenda cover-up scam to query the necessity of the jobs and whether they got advertising for the best-qualified person. Success in ROSSAC does not depend on credentials--academic and business; it depends on the willingness to comply with the orders--plain vanilla or criminal--of the superintendent and cohorts.

Nobody got punished for the criminality that preceded the court case filed by Mr. Erwin after incredible efforts on his part to get the authorities in administration and the board to stanch the crime on school grounds.

I suspect payoffs at some level. The board stands suspect since faults riddled the new schools from holes in roofs to general water damage, ACs that should last twenty years lasting only five, and even shoddy things like doorknobs and locks.

My favorite copy of a piece of the Erwin story was when he, finally giving up on the administration, took reporters on top of a roof of a new school to show them the holes. An administration lackey spotted the press tour of the roofs from his office window and called the news downtown to the ROSSAC culprits.


The board stands guilty of tolerating the crime on school grounds. Mr. Erwin did everything he could to alert its members, but they looked the other way, the board's usual stance when anything difficult faces its layabouts.

Board members have turned the schools over to the administration. They charged voters $35,000 for a fake ad to show they were advertising "nationwide" for a superintendent. All the time the fix was in for Ms. Elia. She had a deficient academic record and meagre experience on site that included her overbuilding classrooms and not detecting a real-estate scam under her nose (The SPT investigated and exposed it). The board members who picked her notwithstanding her deficiencies, claiming with pious duplicity that she was "the best qualified" nationwide, were Edgecombe, Lamb, Valdes, Kurdell, Faliera, and Olson.

Griffin's election had not taken place, so she's free of participating in a scam since she wasn't there. Had she been, my sense is that she would have gone with the crowd. She wants to do the right thing but she lacks the guts and moral heft to bull right ahead when the rest of the board is up to the usual business of echoing Ms. Elia's orders.


I have had to buy another printer to be able to scan in the final Erwin documents. My old one just lay down and died. Then I had to spend about two hours on the phone yesterday with the HP help people determining that the new printer was a dud. They will send me a replacement, arriving in a week. I felt the applicability of Hamlet's, "How all occasions do inform against me."

Three Nerve-rattling Comments From Readers

I wonder if Kurdell, Lamb, and Olson have received kickbacks from all the companies who have done business with the school district so that they will keep their mouths shut when Elia and the district officials want to hire these companies without bidding the jobs out. There must be some reason why they simply rubberstamp everything.

I wonder if the mainstream media could look into the deposits into these board members' bank accounts to see if funny business was afoot.

Everyone should be very suspicious of these old timers on the board. Most politicians move onto other positions. They have stayed on b/c it is comfy for some reason. It could be some kind of monetary reward.

Bookman, Newsome, King, Hancock, Few, Brickelmeyer, are just some of the district names that jumped out of the contribution list. Isn't shaking down your cronies a bit unethical?

There are long enduring and persistent rumors in the upper echelon of ROSSAC that a currently seated, long time board member was paid off directly from school district funds.

This female board member supposedly was in dire financial straights (Hmmm I wonder which of the three long time female board members might fit this description?). Some of the highest ranking administration officials in the district facilitated the "public financing" to help her out (And thereby ensuring her enduring loyalty and obedience).

Additionally consider the following:
Have you noticed that Jack Lambs daughter Ms. Arias is enjoying a meteoric rise through HCPS?

How about Doretha Edgecombs daughter and her similarly remarkable career advancement.

At HCPS they strive to compromise anyone with any power, be it real or percieved. They use favors, money, and/or sex (ala Faliero and Hart) to reign people in. Compromised people are controllable people.

And don't get me started on what they supposedly have on Elia!

They want desperately to compromise Griffin, we can infer that this hasn't happened yet because they are still fighting her. If she had succumbed, the tension and "dysfunction" that has been and continues to be chronicled on the HCSB would either not exist or they would have already played their hand since Griffin is clearly not playing the game the HCSB way.
