"We will always prefer the term "nitwit" over "jerk," although in some cases they are interchangeable..."
But when it comes to Ragman, "raging asshole" works good too.
"We will form a political action group called "Citizens for a Better Back Room Deal"
Wait! That's already taken by the BOS, who seem to be averaging one open meeting law violation per year (that we know of)
"The Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners will deny Wareham’s decertification appeal because they have the collective IQ of a squid..."
Wow, Ragman, really, thanks for all your sweet talking to the MBLC. That appeal is certain to be successful now. Thanks a lot.
"John Cronan will replace Bruce Sauvageau as the mouth that roared..."
Uh-oh, Brucey! Better watch out! It looks like you have a rival for your lackey's affections! (Ahem, that's a joke that says your biased, Ragman, not gay, get your mind out of the gutter.)
"Wareham residents who truly care about this community will turn out to vote on Tuesday..."
And if you buy a front page ad in my rag, I'll tell them to vote for you!
"Robert Bliss will never be able to count to $35,000 on his fingers..."
But Hartman can count $35,000 paid to him, that the BOS, by their inaction, apparently feel that it wasn't illegal for Hartman to get the money, just illegal for Bliss to pay the money (and if you follow that logic, you must be smoking some potent substances)
"We will always like police officers more than they like us..."
And I always let people know I like them by painting them out as racist incompetents who live to harrass poor innocent Brucey!!!
AND FINALLY, AN ADDITION:
"I will always use the royal "we" even though it's just me, and hasn't been "we" since I turned on that light for the Cat Lady.
Seriously Ragman, your use of "we" is skin crawingly annoying. It's just you. It is only you. The Rag does not have some kind of vast enormous staff. It's you and Andrea. Just say "Andrea and I think..." Just stop with the "we" as if there is an army of reporters at Rag HQ.
For Christ's sakes, either buy a parakeet to keep in your office so there's technically more than one being there, or, and hey, here's a thought, stand behind your stupid ideas and use "I!"

From what I've heard, it may soon just be the ragman, so sad.

Really? HA!
It's interesting. The journalism industry is such that, in order to break into the business, there are many young reporters who are willing to work for newspapers for free just to establish themselves. If the Ragman turned out a better paper, he'd have more offers for free help then he'd know what to do with. Why do you look at the Rag and the stories are just written by either him or Andrea Smith? Because obviously nobody is beating down the door to work for him!
Hope you are right, Flox. The Ragman knows he's destroyed his reputation to the point where he's afraid to show his face around town and has an elderly woman do most of his grunt work (paper deliveries, picking up documents, etc.) He'd have to start doing all that crap too.
Aww, Poor Ragman.
