Is this for real?  That guy can't write for shit!!!

The guy that doesn't know how to spell words like "Earth" is going to teach writing.  Oh my God, I have to go fall on the floor and laugh for three hours straight.

"OK Class, what questions do you have about writing?  Just don't ask me how to spell "the" or "cat" or "dog" or any of the advanced stuff..."

Agenda For Writing Class

1)  Why Your Computer's Spellchecker Must be Avoided at all Costs

2)  How to Blame Your Lousy Writing on Diabetes

3)  How to Keep Your Writing Under 42,000 Typos Per Page

4)  How to Keep a Newspaper Afloat...No Wait, Seriously, Does Anyone Know How To?  I Haven't Figured It Out Yet

Will it be like those 'infomercials" on cable TV, where facts are replaced by paid testimonials?

Oh God Stewie, the jokes are endless aren't they?

And in other news, it's opposite day in the world of teaching and...

Paris Hilton will be teaching Frugality 101

Lindsey Lohan will be conducting a seminar "How to Stay Away from the Booze"

Mel Gibson will teach "How to Keep Your Cool"

And Hosni Mubarak will be teaching "101 Ways to Keep Your Subjects Happy"

OK Class, today's lesson is how to create realistic sounding names for your fictional characters...names like..."Paul Shooter."

"Class by DA on how the elderly can keep themselves from being scammed...Class for the elderly on how to write taught by world's worst writer...students in first class unlikely to take second class..."

Lynn Burroughs and now the alleged journalist, talk about pushing the agenda!!..ya think they'll be any political discussion int he creative writing class?..will Curly,or better yet Brucey be brought in as special guests?

All jokes aside...and the joke possibilities about the World's Worst Writer teaching writing are endless...any and all town officials who ok'd this should be fired immediately.

That is not the only butcher of the english language. Proofread the entire story. The person with the correct number of "red" corrections gets a prize.

Darn it, Peter beat me to it.  You'd really think that a guy who is teaching a class in writing at the Council on Aging would know how to spell "Council on Aging." 

Oh Great Writing Teacher Bobo, sorry to correct you but it is "Council" and not "Counsel."  A "council" is a board of advisors, such as a Council on Aging.  A Counsel is what someone gets when they are sued.  Don't you know that since you've been sued twice for defamation?

There should be some kind of discount for people who notice errors in the writing teacher's press releases.  Anyone who notices any errors gets to take it for $30 instead of $60.

(Be sure to check this out soon, I'm sure he'll correct the mistakes and pretend like they never happened).

Peter, that's a new writing technique called "The Narrative Structure Trough."  You throw all of your proper grammar and syntax into the trough and it holds it there until needed.

Breaking news!  Bobo makes corrections within hours of reading this blog.

"I am absolutely thrilled to have the opportunity to be a part of this program," Slager said. "These workshops will be strictly about the art of writing, a subject I love very deeply. While local politics interest many people in Wareham, these workshops will not be the place for such discussions. This will be about passing along what I've learned from other writers in my 25-year journalism career. I can't wait to begin."

Will there be a session on how to conduct an interview with yourself?

BoBo wrote" "I can't wait to begin."

but BoBo, you are already hip deep in the Big Muddy. Who else would be creative enuf to describe his 25-year meandering thru the fetid swamp of his worklife as a "career"?

Please let me correct one poster, in fairness to his BoBoness. BoBo was taken to task for his phrase 'Counsel on Aging". I have it on good authority (i.e. his own writings), that this qualifies as a true Freudian slip, or parapraxis as the psycho-babble bullshit artists would call it. You see, the BoBo recognizes his need for counseling, and that's a good thing, is it not? It was weighing on his space which formerly housed a mind, and..well, you can see what happened.

Totally unfair. IMO.

but then, perhaps BoBo can redeem himself by describing the differences between & among the following words:
SITE.    SIGHT.   CITE.

A recent article revealed a lack of understanding by the BoBo of these sound-alikes. Here's a second chance, BoBo: Use each of the cited (oh, damn!  -  gave it away) words in a sentence.

You know, I was contemplating a retirement gig as a teacher of English as a Second Language (ESL). Perhaps, I could make myself available to BoBo as a teacher of English as a First Language (EFL). But, what to charge? Oh, dear. Wait! Got it! $60.00 per hour.

All major credit cards accepted, with proper ID.

I am honored that Marcia agreed to allow me to share what I have learned about writing with others. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to teach writing again.

So, if there's any justice in the world, I hope we'll see her fired by the end of next week.

As many of you may know by now I will be teaching a writing course beginning in March as part of a program offered by the Wareham Counsel on Aging. I’m thrilled at this prospect. I taught writing courses in San Francisco when I wrote for the Examiner newspaper and remember it as a wonderful experience. I am very grateful to be presented with that opportunity again.



holy shit even after being corrected on the word counsel which he fixed a couple of hours later in his previous article he prints a new article and he makes the same mistake. for the love of god bobo its C O U N C I L!!!!!!!!!!

Class, we're going to use the first 2 weeks to tackle the very difficult task of learning how to spell "Council."  After that, we'll get into the nitty gritty of the course.

I don’t know how to state it any more clearly than that. I literally laughed out loud when I read McDonald’s plea for people to file a state ethics complaint. I can’t even fathom how any of this is even remotely unethical. Across the country Counsels on Aging offer classes in a number of different areas.


heres an idea just use coa if you cant get it through your fat head thats its spelled council

By: robertslager on 2/4/11
Of course any of these hateboggers could have picked up the telephone and asked me about all this, but they have never let the facts get in the way of a good smear.

why call, you read this blog constantly

Class, let's learn the Porky Pig Technique of Spelling Difficult Words...

"Counsel...council...counzel... badeeba deeba, COA!"

So...his mum and his da said "make sure you masticate 20 times each bite" when he first began eating meat.

He thought they said masturbate....he ain't been right since.

Goin' blind I heard too...

We've got just the man for the job!!

I stand corrected, Stewie. I must have been confused. Maybe my inability to comprehend was due to the fact that I've been learning how to write at the "Halifax Hacks School of Writing"...I'm afraid I've not done too well..Seems I have far too few spelling errors and lies in my writing..I'll try harder.

Well. Ok....except for the "I'll try harder" part.

I have it on good authority (his own body of work) that trying harder is inconsistent with the goals of the "Halifax Hacks School of Writing". MORE spelling errors. Multiple shortcuts. MORE lies. Misleading analysis. Incorrect conclusions. And above all, an all-encompassing slant to all screeds.

These all require less effort, a disinterest (or even uninterest) in the consequences of your words, and a total lack of any standards of quality.

Yes, my friend, There is less for you to do. Have a couple of beers instead. Make that many beers. Then, you will be properly situated for classes at the HHSW.

Belching in class accepted as a creative statement.

"I AM HONORED THAT MARCIA AGREED TO ALLOW ME TO SHARE WHAT I HAVE LEARNED...........BLAH, BLAH.........."

Does Slager mean that he approached Marcia with the idea and she approved it?

Does Slager mean that someone else approached Marcia with this idea?

Just wondering.

I also note the price of $60 per person for six classes.  The part that I question is that "FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS AVAILABLE FOR  QUALIFIED SENIOR CITIZENS THROUGH THE COA".  Are we to assume that the Town of Wareham, from the COA's budget will be paying for some of the cost?

Just wondering.

I put the cart before the horse.  I just read WW's article and it and the blogs on the online version answered my questions.  I'm still not very happy about this, however.  Over the years assorted classes (knitting, crafts, etc.) have been offered for the seniors but I have no idea if there was a fee involved.  It is very upsetting to see this man back in Wareham under any circumstances.   Oh, and I don't believe Andrea's explanation either.

Marcia mentions one thing in the news and another in the office. She talked about a father with a baby that needed a blanket  and helped him. But in the office  she berated him for poor parenting skills not having a blanket for the child. She asks foe help from other offices in the building and then puts them down as be the riff raff of the building and the worth thing in town.  The Career Center is a leas payer to the town and she wants them out. The are paying the town to be there and many businesses use them to fill vacancies. They are part of the Economic development of the town and She is trying to drive them out behind the shines . She would not say that to the media but it is what she tells others. Myself for one.  She is most likely going crasey trying to figure out who I am first time here I sit near her every day and drives me nuts. I don’t like slager either for many obvious reasons. It is time for Wareham to take control like the middle east.

Ever since I saw this quote (written by the ex-moderator and husband of a current lame duck selectman) I knew the Hypocrite Elite was desperate to find ways to fund their pet newsboy:

Robert, could you help us help you by giving us a notion of what it would take to finance your operation? For the sake of discussion, how many contributions of $50 or $100 or $250 or $500 or $1,000 would it take to make your operation successful?

Just in case you missed it, that's a former town official and husband of a town official asking out loud in a public forum "how many contributions of $50 or $100 or $250 or $500 or $1,000 would it take to make your operation successful?"

I don't know about you all but that sends chills up my spine.

yes I know I spell as bad as him but I do know what I am talking about Tobert you are a thief. You take from the community and the gov. and you expect the Gov. to support you get out of town and see if the council on aging in your town would hirer you for what you want Wareham to support you for. TA better step in on this one or He has some real problems
