Robin, when are you going to learn that no means no?

First Robin tries to convince Richard Cahill not to run against Kevin Cahill for Assembly even though Richard made it very clear he wasn't running. Now, she's accusing Len Bernardo of trying to convince Wayne Harris not to try to unseat Terry Bernardo as chairman of the county legislature even though Harris has made it very clear that he doesn't want the position and is refusing to talk to Robin.

We at Mocking Robin have to wonder when Robin will learn that no means no. If someone says he's not running, why would anyone keep talking about him running? If someone keeps doing this irrational thing, is that someone you want to listen to when she gives advice nobody asked for about campaigns?

Get it through your head once and for all, Robin. You are an incompetent. You have never done a single thing right in politics. You have never won anything. You raised no money when you were the republican chairman. You lose at everything. What the hell is so hard about accepting that this isn't your strong point?

Pride is one of the deadly sins. Robin's pride is making her the laughing stock of Ulster county. Along with her nasty and stupid gnomelike asskissers from Accord.

Count Dogula

Robin's smokey friend is once again attacking Richard Cahill. This time his childishness is all about doing some math.

Cahill used hyperbole (since you like to correct everyone's English, maybe you should look it up) by saying "If I had a nickel during my tenure as a prosecutor for every time a victim of domestic violence came to the office asking to drop charges, I would have retired 15 years ago."

This incredibly stupid buffoon doesn't get it when people exaggerate to make a point. He has no problem exaggerating damn near everything he writes on his blog about the Bernardos. It kind of looks like exaggerating is OK if this joker does it to hurt people but it's some sort of crime if it is used to make a point without hurting anyone.

But maybe Cahill should listen to this guy about math. He's pretty good at it. Especially adding things up. The way he added up over $900 thousand in debts before he declared bankruptcy. That's OK though. The court only discharged half a million of those debts and (in his own words according to the Shawangunk Journal)  "out of which about 20 percent consists in credit card late fees accrued after contacting the bankruptcy lawyer." So if 100 grand are just late fees, that makes it all cool. Because he's a math genius.

Crazed in Accord

We warned him. We warned him and he didn't listen.

Accord's own Deputy Dawg just had to go pick a fight with Richard Cahill and now he's going nuts because he is losing. In a post yesterday on his smoke and mirrors blog, the bearded wonder attacked Cahill in a long rambling tantrum.

Cahill answered in just 5 lines at 9:41 PM last night. Hairy Harry must have been playing Dracula because he was up all night writing his senseless response. This long incomprehensible gothic novel which made no sense was up at 6:01 AM this morning. He even added a picture of Pretty Boy Floyd and some idiotic story of a three year old making up the Pretty Boy nickname he tried to give Cahill.

It looks like he took Cahill's five line response as a "lame gay joke" that he just had to answer. Could this be a case of someone protesting too much? Is the beard there to prove his masculinity when people question it?

We are glad he explained that he didn't speak English before the age of 33. Now we know why his attacks are so hard to understand. Maybe by the time he turns 93 his English will get good enough to read.

Dude, we told you. And we're telling you again. don't mess with Richard Cahill. He's got ten times more brains and balls than you and your ditzy wife and Robin combined. You can't win. Not by the hair of your chinny chin chin.

Give it up. Go back to designing ugly covers for foreign language literary magazines that are read by 10 people max. You can pat yourself on the back for doing something "exclusive."

Stop the nonsense

The following comment was posted on Robin's website today:

June 28, 2012 at 9:37 PM

Please, I beg of you…Let us deal with our loss of Karen and stop this madness. This is not the place for such nonsense. At least respect our wishes right now. Time takes care of everything. Ellen DiFalco


We at Mocking Robin will not post anymore remarks about this, no matter how hurtful Robin is with her abusive posts which use a tragedy for her own political ends. If we have added to the family's pain with our posts, we are truly sorry. That was never what we wanted. We hope Robin will stop, as well.

Even when she answers, she has nothing to say

Our friend Robin responded on her site to a post from earlier today. We accused her of being anti-democratic in a letter she sent to Roger Rascoe, a letter which has been widely circulated and is far from secret. She says we accused her of talking to Wayne Harris about becoming chairman of the legislature. Silly girl, you might want to learn to read. Your illiteracy is showing.

What we wrote was "If that's not bad enough, Wayne Harris has made it clear that he doesn't even want the job so she's dragging someone into her pettiness who doesn't want to be there."

The only other place we mention Harris is when we quote her letter directly. Does anyone see us saying she spoke to Harris? Robin must not know how to read very well.

Harris is a smart legislator. The last thing he would want to do is talk to a nobody like Robin Yess. Nobody in his right mind would think that Robin and Harris had a real conversation.

By the way, she never answered the meat of the post. She is admitting to trying to collect special interest money to attack a democratically elected chairman and she openly tried to convince Roger Rascoe to make exactly the same kind of political deal that Ren and Stimpy from Accord accused the Bernardos of making.

But we at Mocking Robin understand that it's much easier to make up things about our posts than to answer the real questions. That's Robin for you.

When mice fight lions

This morning, Robin's graffiti master from Accord decided it would be fun to attack Richard Cahill. This guy has been picking fights with Cahill for the last few weeks and we can't figure out what his point is.

Anyone who has ever met Cahill knows that he's this bulldog who doesn't let go. He's smart and tough and is maybe the worst guy in the county to attack. But this guy has decided to do it anyway.

We at Mocking Robin always thought it was his wife who is stupid. We thought he was just mean and nasty. Now we see that they are equally dumb. They deserve each other.

Attacking democracy

A few days ago, Robin Yess sent a letter to Roger Rascoe which she cc-ed to the town republican Chairmen and other party leaders. In her letter, she demanded that Roger force Terry Bernardo to step down as Chairman of the county legislature.

It's no secret that Robin and her hyena horde hate Terry Bernardo. But this time she's actually demanding Rascoe to go against the democratic election of Bernardo.

First, she tells Rascoe that she is raising money from a special interest in order to get Terry thrown out. She says "The Liberty Coalition recently launched a fundraising campaign to increase our efforts and impact and you won't be surprised that we have the support of much of the legal community. We intend to spend every penny we raise to elect a new chair of the Legislature..."

We have no problem with lawyers or even with raising money from professional organizations. But Robin presents herself like some kind of libertarian saint. How does that work when she uses money from a small group of people to throw out someone who was elected democratically?

Then, Robin goes on to say "The majority of Democrats would be happy to support Wayne Harris to replace the current chair. He has the respect of all the legislators and has the experience to do the job in a non-partisan manner. With most of the Democrats on board, only a few Republican votes are needed to make that happen."

So Robin is telling the republican chair that he should get a few legislators to make a deal with the democrats and dump the chair his party elected. She wants him to betray his own party. We're not surprised seeing as how Robin jumped ship the moment things got tough or the way she jumps from party to party every few years.

If that's not bad enough, Wayne Harris has made it clear that he doesn't even want the job so she's dragging someone into her pettiness who doesn't want to be there.

We at Mocking Robin wonder what Robin's two Accord buddies think of this kind of dealmaking. They were pretty angry about the same sort of thing when they accused Terry and Len Bernardo of doing that to keep dizzy Manny off the legislator ticket a couple years ago.

We doubt it will matter though. Robin and her buddies don't care about principles. They care about hurting the Bernardos and nothing else.

Capitalizing on a tragedy

Robin Yess has gone too far this time. She has actually criticized people for offering kind words for the late Legislature clerk Karen Binder and sympathy to her family. Robin wrote this on her mean little website:

Nope, it’s not a fishing trip and there isn’t a flood coming, but the BS sure is getting deep around here so you better break out your waders. There’s nothing like taking advantage of a situation to press the flesh and impress the press. The phony, sympathetic looks and the prepared statements regarding Karen Binder’s passing aren’t fooling anyone.
We at Mocking Robin do not pretend to know what is in anyone's heart when they offer sympathy after someone dies. We do know, though, that when someone attacks someone else for saying something nice, there is something really wrong with that person. To try to score political points because somebody died is just disgusting.

Robin and her group of yapping lapdogs have gone from being just nasty to being ghoulish.

Robin Letterman's List of Top Ten Things To Blame on the Bernardos

Seeing as how Robin Yess has tried to blame anything and everything on Len and Terry Bernardo, we thought it might be fun to explore a few other things her silly brain probably thinks is Len and Terry's fault even if she doesn't say so out loud.

Here's the list in chronological order.

  1. The extinction of the dinosaurs
  2. Global warming
  3. The Loch Ness Monster
  4. The Kennedy assassination (that was Len in a Lee Harvey Oswald costume)
  5. Sightings of Elvis working in a gas station in Peoria
  6. Crop circles
  7. Dollar stores which sell everything for more than a dollar
  8. Reality TV's popularity
  9. Mainstream acceptance of tattoos and piercings
  10. Charlie Sheen's comeback
We are sure that there are many other things Robin believes are caused by the Bernardos, especially when she is sitting in a dark room listening to The Carpenters and James Taylor. But we think you get the picture.

Disinformation

This morning there was a comment on Robin's little blog:

I sent a post to mocking robin aliging the truth about your post about the cancer patient lets see if she post it we terry…Is mocking robin….


We won't even talk about the commenter's poor command of the English language. That sort of speaks for itself. What is important though is that no comment relating to Robin's vicious push poll was ever submitted here.


Robin's hangers on sure are trying hard to discredit us. We at Mocking Robin can only assume that the truth hurts.

Push poll disgust

Now Robin is going too far. She has put up a ridiculous poll asking how you would classify someone who take benefits away from someone who has stage 4 cancer. The possible answers were Malicious, Evil, Heartless and All of the Above.

We at Mocking Robin are not sure who the cancer patient is but we can be sure of three things. One, since no one has the opportunity to choose anything but a bad vote, the results will be 100% what she wants. Hardly a poll anybody can trust. Two, Robin is going to twist whatever circumstance she is going to reveal into something it really isn't. It won't be the first time. Three, dragging a cancer patient into her political sickness is All of the Above. That's our vote at Mocking Robin.

You can pick your friends, you can pick your nose but why pick a fight you can't win?

Robin, Robin, Robin. Haven't you learned not to pick fights with people who are clearly smarter than you are?

Robin is continuing her ill conceived feud with Richard Cahill. She and Bearded Frick and Clueless Frack (would no fracking mean she had to leave NY?) of Accord have been taking potshots at Cahill for no good reason.

Now she's also showed what a ridiculous hypocrite she is. She's criticizing Cahill for running on the conservative line against Gallo and Polacco for mayor of Kingston last year. This from a woman who did nothing but back third party candidates against republicans on her made up line in that same election! Walter Frey against Bob Aiello, Laura Petit against Carl Belfiglio and Manuela Michailescu against Terry Bernardo.

Let's recap Robin's political history. She ran for county legislator and lost. She ran for state assembly and lost. She was republican county executive director and is blaming Mario Catalano for everything that went wrong when she had her hand in every decision. She was elected republican county chairwoman because no one else ran and couldn't even serve out a full term before her lack of skill forced her out. She started a so called political action committee that has maybe half a dozen hangers on. Everyone she endorsed lost.

So, we at Mocking Robin have just one question. When all someone does is lose, why would anyone take her advice on campaigning?

How to Make Enemies and Incense People

As if Robin Yess and her weird little horde didn't have enough enemies, now she's going out of her way to pick fights with people for no good reason.

Her latest misstep is in criticizing attorney Richard Cahill for taking the republican nomination against Kevin Cahill. She really doesn't get it that her track record on elections is so pathetic that nobody should ever do anything she says in a campaign. Is she still pissed off that her candidate lost the nomination? Doesn't she get it that her endorsement or support is the death blow to any campaign? All the democrats need to do to win an election is get Robin to back the republican. No fundraising or campaigning. Just get Robin to endorse the republican and the democrats win.

That's how poor her political skills are.

Worse, Richard Cahill has said many times that he only took the nomination as a placeholder, not to run. So Robin's dumb shot at him did nothing at all to influence anyone. All it did is get Cahill on the anti-Robin bandwagon.

We at Mocking Robin have to wonder why Robin on her website and her unintelligent playmates to the south of us on their smoke and mirrors blog would do their best to pick a fight with Cahill. Seems like a pretty stupid move to us. Then again, Robin and pals are full of dumb moves.

Expert Opinion

Robin's latest attempt at becoming relevant is a post giving her opinion about the Kevin Cahill race. She talks about how disappointed she is that Kevin is probably going to be running unopposed this year. She complains that Peter Rooney is not running, something he has not made public but which she says she knows for sure.

Surprisingly, we at Mocking Robin are in agreement with the idea that Rooney should run again and force Kevin to at least defend his record. The problem we have is that Robin pretends to be some sort of expert.

She did run for the Assembly against Kevin Cahill 4 years ago. That's sort of a point in her favor. But she got beat like a drum. She got less than 30% of the vote and Kevin got over 60%. That's a 2 to 1 thrashing for anyone who's counting.

Robin also got a grand total of two large donations for her campaign. One was from the county republican committee, the committee led back then by the same Mario Catalano she complained about just 2 months ago. Robin said of Mario "If history is an indicator of future results, wouldn't a position on the “fund-spending” committee be more appropriate?" Kind of funny that she was fine with Mario spending 5 grand on her campaign but not when he spent it on other political purposes.

The other big donation was from some guy in NJ. Every other donation was a few hundred dollars tops.

There also wasn't alot of fundraising done when she was republican chairwoman.

So isn't it a little like the pot calling the kettle black for Robin Yess to give out opinions on who should run against Kevin Cahill or who should be doing fundraising for the republican party?

Think about it. Republicans complain that we have a president who had no record of success before he became president. Now we're supposed to listen to the opinions of someone who also had no record of political success?

We at Mocking Robin think this is pretty ridiculous.

What Is He Smoking?

One of Robin Yess's immature little playmates has started a blog he is calling the Smokeout. Our question is what is this guy smoking? He's apparently either not too bright or he doesn't read the things the leader of his flock of birdbrains is writing on her website. Or both.

Robin accused a former county legislator of running Mocking Robin along with a couple of other blogs. Now her buddy is saying that it is Terry Bernardo behind our site. This is so incredibly comical, like the old black and white silent movies where two guys are trying to go through the same door. I'm sure Robin's pal knows about those movies since he claims to be a former movie maker back in his home country. Too bad nobody ever actually saw any of those movies, at least nobody we know of. Maybe some communist party apparatchiks did in some obscure cabin on the sea. But nobody who actually matters.

Could you guys at least coordinate your fingerpointing so you don't look completely dumb?

Getting back to the point, we must really be getting under the skins of Robin and her tiny cabal. They are desperately trying to figure out who we are. They want so badly for people to believe that we are political leaders because that would allow them to keep telling people that they are victims of some backroom political conspiracy.

Hate to tell you guys, but Mocking Robin is not written by anyone who is or was in the republican party leadership. We are all just everyday folks who have had enough of your kindergarten antics. You can spin it any way you want. We are who we are and it ain't who you think. But keep on accusing people. It's pretty funny.

Credit Where Credit Is Due

Since Robin Yess made mention of this blog in two of her recent posts, our page views have jumped to almost double our best day before. We at Mocking Robin think it only appropriate to thank her for her help in getting our name out there.

On the other hand, she jumps to unfounded conclusions in her posts. We are not republican leaders. We are not republican committeemen. We are not current or former county legislators. We are not members of third parties or some shadowy cabal bent on taking over the county. Not one of us is any of these things.

We can see why Robin would love to think we are these people because she desperately wants to believe that these are the only people who can be annoyed at her mudslinging. The problem with her thought process is that she is not some superhero, fighting for the little guy. She's just a bitter, angry person who hasn't come to grips with her inability to lead the republican party because of her own lack of talent.

We are just people who watch ulster politics and are fed up with the anger and hate. If you think about it, that's not such a bad thing, is it?

Are They Your Friends?

In a new post, Robin Yess is upset that people accuse her of hating the Bernardos. We at Mocking Robin think the proof is in the pudding. Her website is built on an unending series of posts attacking the Bernardos and her bestest buddies run a website and now a blog which has the most sickening, hateful posts about Terry and Len Bernardo.

In a recent post her playmates put on both their site and their blog, they call Terry Bernardo and Jeremy Blaber weasels. Is that responsible politics? Is that the kind of childish trash Robin wants to be associated with?

If she wants to be taken seriously and not accused of hating people, maybe she should distance herself from people who do nothing but hate. Maybe she should do something constructive for a change instead of trying to tear people down.

Lawyer Joke

We at Mocking Robin aren't quite sure who Robin Yess thinks she's fooling with her laughable statements about Langdon Chapman. Her entire position is basically If he ain't from Ulster, he's no good.

Yeah. That makes sense. Take the taxpayers' money and spend it on less than the best just because we want to keep it inside the county.

Now, we know that there are plenty of really good lawyers in Ulster County but that doesn't mean that we have the very best available municipal attorneys. That's not an insult to any lawyer in Ulster. If you need a neurosurgeon, you don't choose the top cardiologist. The cardiologist is probably the best guy to take care of your heart for you. But that doesn't make him a neurosurgeon. Actually, he would probably be a pretty bad neurosurgeon.

We don't just need a lawyer in general. We need the best municipal specialist our money can buy. Just because someone is from Ulster doesn't make him the best.

You would think that Robin, seeing as she's always talking about being fiscally conservative, would want our tax money spent on the very best lawyer we can find. Within driving distance, Chapman is the best. He's one of the most skilled municipal attorneys in the state and we're lucky to have him for such a low price. Plus, we don't have to pay him any benefits because of the way Terry Bernardo negotiated the deal.

So what's the problem? Are we supposed to choose our county legislature attorney by territory? Unless we're dogs marking a tree, that approach is pretty much worthless.

Robins nest in trees. Dogs mark them. Creative visionaries use the wood to build beautiful homes.

That's the difference between Terry Bernardo and Robin Yess. While Bernardo is looking for ways to build our county up, Robin and her band of merry misfits are peeing all over everything and everybody, trying to mark their territory.

Five Birds With One Rock

I guess we're getting under Robin's skin. She posted a video of the Jackson 5 singing Rocking Robin on her site. I guess it's kind of appropriate. Five is the number of people who actually believe her.
