Sunday Photo-'Toons 1.26
As we enter the season where the leaves turn and
begin to fall, we witness similar behavior among some of the denizens of town
hall.
Concern as well as questions began to mount
regarding the revelation that cell phones as well as police and fire department
radios have less than reliable reception at the newly opened Middle/High
School.
The town administration conceded a procedural lapse
in the adoption of a motion seeking to change the terms of legislation relating
to amending the town charter.

Local events of note were relatively
sparse, eclipsed by the week’s developments on the national scene.
We did have the spectacle of the
state representative accepting an invitation to debate and then beginning to
tap dance around petty points of contention. We also learned that our new
Middle/High School was in a wireless dead zone. But not to worry. Like
everything else in Southbridge, we can buy our way out of it. Let’s just hope
that nothing critical requiring such resources happens in the meantime.

As we close the door on another exhilarating week in
the land of O’Z, we look back with fond reminiscences.
We enjoyed a nicely entertaining town council
meeting, followed by a snooze fest of a school committee meeting. (No mention of MCAS, hmmm.)
On the national scene, Willard continued to slide in
the polls. Fortunately, he was joined by the non-mainstream media in protesting
that such samples were clearly inaccurate if not tilted. (This did create
somewhat of a conundrum for Faux News whose own poll showed Mittens behind by
five points).

I received another three photo-‘toons this week from
long-time contributor IMTownie.
The submissions caused me to think how much he has
participated in this dubious enterprise.

The political scene was dominated this last week by the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina. On Wednesday night the Big Dawg, Bill Clinton, actually got better ratings than the opening game of the official NFL season where the Dallas Cowboys defeated the Super Bowl champion New York Giants.
On the local scene there were a couple of town council subcommittee events and the release of the agenda for next Monday’s town council meeting.
Finally there was the first day of school marking the opening of the new Southbridge Middle/High School. Aside from some to-be-expected opening day confusion on which buses students were to board at the end of the day, all apparently went relatively smoothly. Kudos to teachers and staff for a challenge well met.
With all that now behind us we sit down to a brunch of Eggs Florentine with a white wine spritzer and conjure up our own take on the week in review.

We closed last week looking forward to the week ahead.
Unlike most of you, my untempered anticipation resulted not from looking forward to an upcoming weekend of debauchery marking the traditional end of summer.
It certainly wasn’t marked by the fact that over that weekend I would be a virtual prisoner in my own home, unwilling to risk the prospect of going out and having to try to get home behind a caravan of vehicles heading to the Woodstock Fair given the detours on routes 131 and 169.

Without a town council or school committee meeting it’s been a pretty quiet week in dear old Southbridge. As the saying goes, these are the times that try a critic’s soul.
A couple of subcommittee developments have provided some saving fodder for the foolish.
In addition we always have the endless well of silliness provided by races for national office.

Here at The O’Zone we call these Sunday diversions Photo-‘Toons because they are usually variations (some would say corruptions) of photographs.
However, this week as we compiled our list of subjects, we found that a lot of so-called “real life” was, in fact, downright cartoonish.

Well this has been a week where the political landscape has been changing at all levels – local, statewide and national.
Obviously the crowning event was the long-awaited announcement of Mitt’s running mutt. It was done with all the calculation of a late Friday night Washington document dump.
