Local voices chime in on a variety of topics.
On Sunday, when it was finalized that the Red Sox would be playing the New York Yankees in a three-game AL Wild Card series this week, I put on my game face, and the game face will remain plastered to my mug until Thursday, at the latest.
As mayor, I know Jess’s number one priority will be ensuring our public schools are fully funded. I am a product of the Manchester School District. I want my children to grow up with the strong sense of pride my family feels in the city. For this to happen, we must first invest in our schools.
Pompous Jackassery and Mortal Concerns exists because I’ve failed at every other literary form. Novelist? Barely passable. Journalist? Unfit. Poet? Please. Essayist? Marginally above average—which is just enough to crash and burn among the illiterati. A sensible man would accept his creative fate and spend his evenings trying not to stare into the sun or eat too many crayons before dinner. I am not that man.
Personally, I’ve never been a big fan of Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, but that is “for me to poop on,” not the government to dictate.
The woods behind my house smelled of pine sap, wet moss, and the metallic tang of mud. To me, they weren’t woods but a travel hub for everything extinct or imaginary. Dinosaurs stomped through sandy patches. Crocodiles blinked from rocks that weren’t rocks yesterday. The Cherokee whispered peace terms in the wind, smoke from their fires mixing—somehow—with the neighbor’s leaf pile.
We walked into the gymnasium, grabbed our ballots, dodged a piece of tumbleweed, and voted in less than five minutes. This begs the question: Where was everyone?
Joe Kelly Levasseur embodies everything wrong with Manchester politics: a parasitic presence draining taxpayer dollars and bullying anyone standing in his way. As his house of cards collapses, he attempts to gaslight our city into believing his resignation as chairman of the board of mayor and aldermen represented some noble stand.
The question remains: Can we prioritize the well-being of our children, or will we allow influential figures and organizations to dictate our future and impose globalism? It is crucial that we set aside our minor disagreements to effectively confront the threat of globalism. True freedom is not free, and we must move beyond the left versus right narrative.
The Guinness Book is full of lunatics chasing immortality.
Men who dunk their heads for apples until their lungs give out. Women who crochet scarves so long they could strangle Rhode Island. One guy painted the same baseball eighteen thousand times until it ballooned into a yoga ball. Another piled up 8,226 Batman trinkets, because apparently Gotham didn’t need his help.
Residents of Manchester need to know about changes in the Governor’s Advisory Commission on Intermodal Transportation (GACIT) 10-year plan and voice their opinions through the upcoming/ongoing public hearing process.
