Contact your Senator over medical plan tax
proposal….M.E.B.A. online Store is open…ITF Committee works on mariner
issues…Plans notice on vacation benefits. Exit…stage left. A tough act to
follow, we take a bow as the lights come up on a maritime box office bonanza in
a grand finale edition. It’s curtains for poorly reviewed, flop newsletters that
just won’t play in Peoria. We give them the hook and get the last laugh as we
wow you with a scene stealing issue that brings the house down. Bravo! The crowd
pleasing Telex Times is a real showstopper!
DEC 04, 2009
Update on piracy bills…Holiday
parties…MarAd meeting…Off the warpath we lay down our arms and call a truce in a
disarming edition that buries the industry hatchet. Wave the white flag on
reading forceless, pacifist newsletters without any fight in them. We extend an
olive branch, heal the nautical breach and shake hands on an issue of perfect
harmony that brings you maritime peace of mind. Shalom! All we are saying
is give the Telex Times a
chance!
NOV 27, 2009
Buzby at CMES…Briefing on CG ALJ…piracy
news…Loosen your belt as we flesh out a well-rounded, supersized issue of
generous maritime proportions to make you fat & happy. Don’t get weighed down by
double-chinned, muumuu wearing competitors that have grown too big for their
britches. We tell those button-popping butterballs to get stuffed as we amass a
pound for pound, off-the-scale edition that’s a ton of fun. The full-bodied
Telex Times will have you living large!
NOV 20, 2009
M.E.B.A. online banking…Another
ALABAMA incident…Shirley Shelton retires…AOTOS awards…Right on thyme, we add a
little zing to the week and rack up a seasoned, mint condition issue peppered
with a dash of nautical news. Walk gingerly around patchouli-scented, dillweed
competitors that can’t cut the mustard. You can take them with a grain of salt!
Come savor the flavor of the "old sage" of newsletters. Like variety, the
Telex Times is the spice of life!
NOV 13, 2009
Merchant
Marine lauded at D.C. Veterans Day
ceremony…AMHS award for rescue…We flash
forward to the future and take a look at
maritime things-to-come in a space-age,
holographic edition beamed right to your
Hover-car. Avoid the robotic artificial
intelligence of nano-sized clone
competitors. Hang up your Visi-phone,
strap on your jetpack and have your
android butler bring you our bionic new
issue teleported at warp speed. Ahead of
its time, the weekly Telex is the
‘Newsletter of Tomorrow!’
NOV 06, 2009
Maritime
function for CA Rep…CMES Reimbursable
courses…Horizon on CNN…Excelerate eyes
opportunities…We bring justice to the
news and even the score in a
day-of-reckoning, eye-for-an-eye issue
that’s out to get you maritime payback.
Nemesis newsletters get their
comeuppance as we settle their hash with
a punishing nautical reprisal that gives
you what you deserve. Demand
satisfaction! A dish best served cold,
the Telex Times is back with a
vengeance!
OCT
30, 2009
Congressional deal rescues Great Lakes
fleet…Get your docs in order…House
passes Coast Guard bill…Executing a
Halloween edition "to die for," we take
a stab at the news, knock ‘em dead and
blow you away with a premeditated, 1st
degree issue that makes a maritime
killing. Don’t make a grave mistake by
reading lifeless, hatchet job
competitors with no pulse that murder
the English language. We put them out of
their misery and pull the trigger on a
toes-up, heart stopping newsletter
that’ll have you dying for more. The
Telex Times will leave you
breathless!
OCT
23, 2009
MM&P moving into M.E.B.A. Boston hall…MSC
T-AKE news…TWIC notice...You ain’t seen
nothin’ yet! Quick as a wink, we use our
contacts and open up a nautical peephole
in an ocular, 20/20 edition that’s worth
looking at. Take a dim view of
on-the-blink, blinder-wearing
competitors with a tear-inducing lack of
vision. We give those myopic, peripheral
industry pupils fifty "lashes" and bring
the latest high-brow news into focus for
all the world to see. It’s love at first
sight! The windows to the maritime soul,
the Telex Times is more than
meets the eye!
OCT 16, 2009
MSC change of command…NASSCO starts new
ship…AOTOS honorees…important CG
notices…We pick our spots and unload our
maritime pack as we get in-tents in a
great outdoors edition. Pull up stakes
on ill-equipped, back-country
competitors that’ll have you "roughing
it" to find the news you need. We tell
those roasted weenies to take a hike as
we heed the call of nature, start an
industry fire and give you s’more of
what you want. The Telex Times
makes you a happy camper!
OCT 09, 2009
NSPS repealed…MSC change of
command…Liberty, OSG have positions to
fill…Make mine a double! In a
twin-sized, doppelgänger edition, we
hold up a mirror to the industry and
pair up with a dual-action, like-minded
set of M.E.B.A. and maritime
correspondence. If it’s all the same,
beware of cookie cutter, carbon copy
competitors. Those two-faced,
repetitious clones are just cheap
imitations. Accept no substitute! Twice
as nice, for the news you need, the
Telex Times is a perfect match!
OCT
02, 2009
Liberty brings in its PRIDE…New
agreement covers NCL’s POA…Aker launches
CASCADE…Pirate attacks are up…Sofa, so
good! Take a load off and pull up a
chair as we butt in with a
fully-adjustable, reupholstered edition
that’ll have you sitting pretty. You’d
be off your rocker to lounge around with
sedentary, Lay-Z-Boy competitors that
belong on the bench. Plop down, put your
feet up, and ascend to the maritime
throne with the newsletter that has
"legs." The Telex Times gives you
the best seat in the house!
SEP
25, 2009
Great Lakes Reps. Meeting at HQ…U.I.M.,
CAPE news…NCL talks…Sign up for direct
deposit…We put on a brave face, show our
mettle and pluck up in a dauntless,
lion-hearted edition that stands tall
with nerves of steel. Don’t be scared
off by lily-livered, fraidy-cat
competitors that publish "yellow"
journalism and leave you dumbstruck.
Those weak-kneed chickens make you want
to take the coward's way out! With the
courage of our maritime convictions, we
bear up and boldly bring you the
daringly different, heroic newsletter
with guts. There’s no need to fear, the
Telex Times is here!
SEP
18, 2009
Trumka elected AFL-CIO head…CMES
schedule detailed…Good news travels fast
in a full-throttle, greased lightning
edition that rattles off maritime
matters a mile a minute like a bat out
of hell. Beat a hasty retreat from
backpedaling, slow witted competitors
that go nowhere quick. They’re just not
too swift! We’ll stop at nothing to
shoot you the news flashes you need in
no time flat! The
Telex Times
is built
for speed!
SEP
11, 2009
CMES 2010
course schedule…MarAd warns on piracy…M.E.B.A.
NOAA ship finds WWII Navy boat…In a
vocal, chatterbox edition with the gift
of gab, we have our say and shoot the
breeze with an industry conversation
piece that speaks the nautical language
of love. Don’t chew the fat with
gum-flapping, loud-mouthed newsletters
that bend your ear with oral diarrhea –
they’re nothing to shout about! Now
you’re talking! The voice of maritime
reason, the Telex Times is the
newsletter that’s on everyone’s lips.
Spread the word!

notices…4MF auction…CG ballast water
proposal…Aker newbuild update. WALLY
SCHIRRA delivered…Captain of the
industry, we take charge, earn our
stripes and crack the whip in a big
cheese, head honcho edition. Getting the
upper hand, we outrank lackey,
bootlicking newsletters, give them their
marching orders and show those
apple-polishing minions ‘who’s the
boss.’ Hail to the maritime chief!
Exerting our authority, the Telex
Times is in command!

scratching post, we make the fur fly and

stray competitors that cough up a
maritime hairball. Come curl up at our
feet and put up your paws as we sweeten

suffering. We cast them out and lead you

damn! Hell hath no maritime fury like
