Another example of the political bias Mr. Innes delights in, taken from his "Alekhine's Parrot" twaddle at ChessVile. "Don Schultz asks for a release of information, that the details of the deal be made public, and in response the Board President, Executive Director, and whatever else she is these days, Beatrice Marinello, moves to have Don removed from his post as Board Secretary! What a crock...

Who the fu*k is Neil Brennan? He sucks in chess but his mouth is big. You're no historian. You're just a weewee brain. Don't waste your vote for the Chess for success team. We don't want you or your vote. Get lost you fat slop.

It's always amazed me how individuals let partisanship affect the way they view politics. In USCF politics we don't have "democrat" and "republican," "right" or "left" wing, but the same kinds of partisan principles operate. For example, Bill Goichberg has been assailed many times in this forum for various alleged managerial deficits, and excoriated for potential conflicts of interest....

Are the USCF Ballots Protected from Forgery? I was looking at my ballot before I sent it in and I concluded that it would be virtually impossible for anyone such as myself who is outside the USCF Governance structure to forge a ballot. The numbers on the ballot including the pin number, the type of paper used, the type and quality of the printer and other factors would make it impossible...

They are just as bad. Schultz has a history of failure. Goichberg has too much conflict of interest. Shahade is now in poker, not chess. Don't know much about Channing. Only Tanner is decent. Therefore, you must vote for me!

THIS IS CHINATOWN (with apologies to the movie) You are a crook, a liar and a thief. I am prepared to prove that in court. Sam Sloan NOBODY can say that I am a crook, liar and thief, because its not true. Beatriz Marinello You would have made a very big mistake to sue me because you would have lost and lost badly. Sam Sloan

IS BOOZ GOOD FOR IT? Our Stan Booz is taking a bit of a rest, and it is nice of USCF board member Randy Bauer to let us know he is "good for it" ($100 pledge for the grude match). We weren't sure. Meanwhile, the deafening silence from Mr. Booz about taking a lie detector test astonishes few here. We knew the man would never, ever, ever back up his charges that Don Schultz was behind the Natrol...

Beatriz It would seem to me that saying nothing for weeks about this issue which has upset many people besides Goichberg/Schultz and only now apologizing would be for political purposes. Did Shaughnessy object to a motion for the truth about the Natrol deal to come out? Did she defend the Natrol deal at the National Open as has been reported? (Yes, she did)

Timothy Taylor 615 S. Normandie Ave. Apt. 39 Los Angeles, CA 90005 June 29, 2005 Dear Mr. Sloan: It has come to my attention that you have called my lady friend Tatjana, "a professional street prostitute, clear from

Interesting story: http://www.chessninja.com/dailydirt/archives/u2000_intrigue_at_hb.htm Should Mig have posted this guys name? Seems the Ethics investigation should play out first. Hmm.. Although (and I don't know how it works) that process is probably secret even after its concluded.

Has anyone seen this? http://www.chessinvegas.com/ I saw a real flashy pamphlet. Looked real expensive to print. Odd I have seen no news of this through my tradition circle of contacts. Anyone know anything about this?

Sam Sloan, under his usual delusion that somebody somewhere in the world actually cares, divulged: I lost the apartment while I was in jail in Afghanistan in 1978, so I had no choice but to go live with my girlfriend, who then produced two children. What did you do? Sneeze in her direction?

ANNOUNCING A NEW CONTEST In a post to another thread here recently I commented on a letter GM Larry Evans put in Chess Life (12/2001, page 7), in which he purported to quote a statement of mine, but in fact deleted four words, making the sentence unintelligible. In that post, I asked rhetorically if it was unreasonable to expect that GM Evans should quote anyone accurately. To this, the noted...

But before he does, he first visits the official Pok=E9mon website (Crass & cheesy? Yup! Kid-safe? You bet!) http://www.pokemon.com/flash.htm Having learned all he knows about Pok=E9mon from Sam Sloan's websites, Parr naturally thinks that Pok=E9mon is some sort of soft porn cartoon. Hilarious--kindly let me know how much pornography you find on pokemon.com, Larry! (Or anyone else, for that...

I have withdrawn my support of Elizabeth Shaughnessy. Please do not vote for her. She says we all resent her because she's a 'strong' woman. I say we all resent her because she's a 'wrong' woman.

The Lesbian Candidate is Beatriz, but who speaks for the Gay Man? is there a Homosexual Man running for office? Our voice must be heard! Homosexuals who play Chess account for at least 45% of the membership of the USCF. Where is our Gay Candidate? Why aren't we being represented?

I'm a fat pig. My rating is 1571. I suck in chess but I'm very opinionated. I usually sound like a dickhead. I like to insult people. I'm from the same state as some of the biggest assholes in chess. I'm a loser in real life. That's why I stay in chess politics and pretend I'm a big shot to please my own fragile ego. Now you know. I'm really a loser. Who am I?

Sam Sloan wrote: I call upon the Executive Board to expel and ban Beatriz Marinello from the United States Chess Federation TODAY! hysterical blather snipped This matter is urgent and cannot wait. I call upon the Executive Board to vote to expel Beatriz today. more childish gibberish snipped

Yeah, he's been bragging about his 4.25 incher all week! But seriously, what do you inbred cretens have against Sloan? He contributes alot to the usenet. Jason Yes Jason, and so do you - and I would say that most of your contributions are at least as good as Sam's.
