Re: [UC] John Fenton/UCD in election shock!
Hooo-boy! My mind is spinning in overdrive, trying to factor this new information into the MASTER CONSPIRACY PLAN! OK, to recapitulate, we know that Fast Eddie sold the city to Judy Rodin in return for unspecified sexual favors, after which Judy and John Fry hatched the UCD at midnight under a full moon in FOCP headquarters in Clark Park, then Judy ran off to head the Trilateral Commission leaving that nice sprightly young Gutmann dudette to be Figurehead Obergruppenfuhrer. The part that I'm still trying to figure out is how they got rid of "Fat Eric Goldstein" and whether he really does sleep with the fishes in the Bowl. Man my head is hurting so much! Moon Bouncing in Malcolm X Park for Tom Knox! Top that one, Laserbeam!! Major question of the day: does Jannie own Amy or the other way around? So much paranoia, so little time!

RE: [UC] John Fenton/UCD in election shock!
To: John Fenton University City District From: J. Matthew Wolfe Republican Ward Leader 27th Ward Date:May 16, 2007 I was delighted to learn of your new program assisting local political candidates and committees in today's Daily News (as well as on the listserv). It comes at an opportune time, as the University City Republican Committee is planning its Ronald Reagan Memorial Republican Rally for the Candidates in Clark Park for this coming July 21. We have arranged with the Philadelphia Orchestra to provide entertainment and expect several thousand loyal Republicans to attend. I would like to put in my order for services now, so that we can ensure a great party for the neighborhood. Since we expect a larger crowd than attended the Knox rally that you hosted in Malcolm X Park on Saturday, I would like to order two or three of the Moon Bounce inflatable kiddie amusements. We don't want those kids getting bored with the classical music program and disrupting it, do we? We will also need a large number of barbeque grills and coolers. It is hard for us to estimate the exact number we will need, so your advice in this area would be appreciated. This is where the University City District's experience and expertise in managing political rallies is particularly valuable. It was unclear from the article in the Daily News whether your services included the food for the barbeque, drinks or ice. Naturally, if these expenses can be borne by the University City District, that leaves us with more money to pay for TV commercials for our Republican candidates, direct mail and street money to get the Republican Party on track to take control again. Naturally, we will remember those who helped put us back on top. Finally, we appreciate your manpower for our political efforts. It is great that you can supplement the normal UCD staff with court-ordered community service participants. I did not even know that it was legal to use the court system for political purposes. Silly me! Again, I am writing now as I presume that with some advance notice you can order even more workers from the courts. Since crime rates are way up right now (thanks in large measure to mismanagement of the police by the current Democratic administration in City Hall), you should have a large number of offenders in different programs to throw into our effort. Thanks again. Your help in building a stronger Republican Party in University City is greatly appreciated. J. Matthew Wolfe The Law Office of Alice W.
