The Skool Komity

Ken O’Brien

Well the kids got together last night.

It’s clear that they just can’t play well together.

The former team captain just won’t accept that he can’t call the shots anymore.

It doesn’t help that he takes every opportunity to embarrass the new captain who is still learning to call the plays. Calling her coach a ventriloquist is just so third grade. It’s unbecoming of a group of sixth graders. 

The Southbridge Town Council Dog And Pony Show

Ken O’Brien

After watching Monday night’s broadcast of the Southbridge town council meeting on local cable access I had to ask how much of this is a council meeting and how much is an infomercial?

Now, it’s not that I have anything against local cable access being used to promote local businesses. For a while Larry Beinema and John Gatti, Jr. made a noble effort at presenting information on this subject with their now defunct Eye on Southbridge broadcasts. In addition they provided interviews with local government officials.
