Burke Jensen moved to Kennewick about a year ago, bought a nice house in the country south of the city and began to settle into a new job at Energy Northwest.
Then came the call five months ago to serve his country in Kuwait.
So Jensen, who says he is an involuntarily mobilized reservist, headed off, leaving behind a pregnant wife, a young son and a 2.5-acre lot with not a spot of landscaping.
Now, Lt. Jensen is being told to get an irrigation system and landscaping on his property as soon as possible or face legal action from the Oak Hill Country Estates Homeowners’ Association.
“I really don’t give a [expletive] where he is or what his problem is,” said Chick Edwards, owner and developer of the 47-lot subdivision at the south end of Oak Street in Kennewick.
“It doesn’t matter to me,” said Edwards, who insists Jensen has violated terms of the homeowners-association covenants requiring that landscaping be completed within one year after an occupancy permit is issued for a home.
“[Jensen] doesn’t have the right to walk away from his obligation,” said Edwards, who as the developer is the only member of the homeowners association. “I have most of the property still, so I am the homeowners association,” he said.

As the article notes, this prick Chick is the only member of the homeowners’ association, and Chick the Prick has yet to sell most of the properties. The fact that Jensen is serving overseas; had contracted to get the necessary work done–only to get screwed (surprise!) by the contractor–means jack diddly to this self-important scumbag:
“This is a contract. I don’t like the way his property looks. This clown gets to do what he wants, and I’m as mad as hell,” he said.
Chick the Prick has to be the stupidest developer in the country. By acting like this subdivision is his own little feudal estate, where he is king and the rules are his to decree (why is HE the only member of the HOA? How can Jensen be held to the HOA’s “covenants” if he isn’t considered a member?). Regardless of Jensen’s extenuating circumstances, how the hell does he think pulling something like this, generating this kind of piss-poor publicity, is going to do him any damn good selling the remaining properties he’s still holding?
What person in their right mind would by a house from this asshat?
How goddamn stupid do you have to be to do this to a soldier serving overseas?
The cliche is “any publicity is good publicity.”
Well, Chick the Prick is gonna learn that canard is a load of crap.
addendum: Something just occurred to me: If these rules Chick the Prick cites kick in one year after a “occupancy permit” is issued, and Chick the Prick owns all those unsold units, does that mean HE has done all the work demanded on HIS properties? Or is the occupancy permit only issued when someone else purchases the property? Chick the Prick has already gone nuclear on Mr. Jensen; do all of the lots owned by Chick the Prick meet the legal occupancy requirements?
I don’t know the law in that drabby corner of the NorthWest US, but here in NY, you can’t sell a unit unless it has been issued an “occupancy certificate.”
How many of the lots in possession of Chick the Prick are in compliance with his HOA’s “covenants” about property upkeep at this time?

Posted by TC in : Politics ,Example #246,312 of someone NOT in McCain’s camp dealing the ‘race’ card:
We’ve been down this road before, haven’t we? Except last time, the race-baiting was being done by some random columnist and this time it’s … the Senate majority leader. Note how exquisitely casually it’s done, too. So commonplace is this sort of rhetoric among Democrats that it’s apt to bubble up even in the course of otherwise cheerful conversation.
His claim that there’s no connection between Obama and Raines except their skin color?

This Makes No Sense to Me… October 9, 2008
Posted by TC in : Politics, Media, InterWeb ,Someone used the following to arrive in my igloo… should I be proud?
As this campaign has gone further and further down the rabbit hole, I keep thinking, “Google’s algorythmns have gone insane, and Memeorandum’s editors are fucking douchebags* when it comes to what makes their listings.”
(*= that crew has only once–ONCE–included me in their “discussion” listings, even though I regularly link to things they have listed at the top of their story tiers. That link was “disappeared” withing a couple of hours. The NY fucking Times, WaPo, RCP, and other websites purporting to inform visitors about what’s being bandied about in Bloglandia on a topic have included me in their roundups at a far greater rate than them Memorandum editors.)
If you believe THEY–the people running ‘Meme,’–aren’t also in the Barry Tank, I’d like you to note that the link provided concerning my argument with the Meme Team leads to a couple of Flickr screen caps that I DID NOT DELETE.
Yet, they’re gone. And Flickr can’t (or won’t) explain why they disappeared. Those pics were back-linked to my own servers, but those links seem to have been severed.
I set them up so, if you clicked on the pic, you went to MY SERVER. That went by the bye and bye.

Posted by TC in : Politics ,Who really wrote Barry’s first book? This guy lays out a pretty good case that it was NOT teh Messiah. He doesn’t claim his research is definitive…
None of this, of course, proves Ayers’ authorship conclusively, but the evidence makes him a much more likely candidate than Obama to have written the best parts of Dreams.
But he does explain how Camp Bambi can make this question go away:
The Obama camp could put all such speculation to rest by producing some intermediary sign of impending greatness — a school paper, an article, a notebook, his Columbia thesis, his LSAT scores — but Obama guards these more zealously than Saddam did his nuclear secrets.
