Left In Lowell

Rules of the Road in the Blogsphere: Those of you who post on this blog under the moniker of “Anonymous,” could you please consider another moniker and stick to it? It is difficult for most readers to figure out which anonymous it is. This way we can follow your comments and weigh their validity a little bit better. So get yourself a name, an identity. By the way, the role of the cynical, sarcastic, misanthrope, king of one-liners is already taken by POD.

In discussing this congressional race, why do people insist on telling us that the only poll that counts is the one on September 4th? We know that; and we know the other poll are just an indication of what might be going on.

Since May 2005 since this blog started, we have only talked about sports once but the Rodney Harrison issue goes deeper than that. He cheated. And getting on a conference call to make a speech without facing the press is not in keeping with his image of a though guy. And what was the Patriots’ coaching and medical staff doing while he was taking banned substances?

I have begun to warm up to Ogonowski as a candidate. I was a bit harsh earlier on but he is getting better and maybe his campaign has learned from the criticism.

The corner of Powell, Plain and Chelmsford Streets is scheduled to get a makeover; to make the place safer and make the traffic flow better. Since I drive through it at least four times a day, here is my simple suggestion. Cars stop at the traffic light when it turns orange; do not proceed. You are causing the problem; not the intersection.

I like the new red, orange, blue shirts the DD staff is wearing.

I read in this morning’s Kendall Wallace column in the Sun that at the Tuesday night MA-05 Debate, City Councilor Jim Milinazzo had to ask a Tsongas supporter who was booing when Eileen was speaking that she was being rude, and to sit down and behave. That woman was lucky that she was sitting next to Jim and not some other Donoghue supporters, because we may not have been so polite; right Fran?
