Off topic much?

Hey Bud, your old school ways before Bernie came in almost bankrupted the city its 2010, your not a leader anymore so either follow or get out of the way, you hurt the city with the garbage you throw at the manager every tuesday nite your starting to sound like that other guy with the tow trucks,Rita seems to be more pleasant than you, your an angry ex mayor get a hold of yourself.
April 26th, 2010 at 11:04 pm
Bud spoke at the City wide parent meeting tonight and I must say I agree with most of what he said. He said we need to get the teachers union on HMO blue, put a cap on sick leave buy out like the city side has, and to stop city wide bussing. (I see busses pulling into my daughters school with 3 children on them) These do not sound like business as usual suggestions.

Bud’s upset because If they don’t put the names next to their job titles in the budget, it makes it tougher to de-fund the position of someone you have a personal issue with, a la Andy Sheehan.
April 27th, 2010 at 9:03 am
Tony you aren’t the first person to say that to me…agreed…
Kim - that’s great, but where was he on these issues when he actually could affect them, like when he was Mayor and head of the School Committee?
It’s great to think out of the box on the issues you have little to do with…but his behavior at the Council meetings has been, to say the least, embarrassing!

Once again Lynne you parrot the administration line and Lowell Scum’s. The new format with goals and objectives will serve to only further cloud the truth with pie in the sky estimates and objectives. What will happen if those objectives are not met? Will the department heads, or GOD FORBID the manager be held responsible? Move the shells around and hopefully the councilors and more importantly the taxpayers will find it more difficult to find the ball underneath. Or maybe it would be more accurate to call this a game of three card Bernie.

Bud’s argument about wanting names up front in the budget document, but not wanting goals and accomplishments, almost - almost, mind you - makes it sound as if he’s more concerned about making sure money goes to the “right” people than in the the amount of good it does in providing public service.
You know, like the fight over the towing contract a couple of years ago, when he openly stated on the Council floor that he was upset that company that submitted a poor bid didn’t get a contract, because he knew them and they were good guys.
April 27th, 2010 at 10:24 am
Bud has been consistent on the issues Kim raises, even when he was Mayor.
April 27th, 2010 at 10:34 am
And wow, he obviously did so much about them.
April 27th, 2010 at 10:45 am
And oh yes I am a puppet, just a puppet, see my strings?
Please.
BTW you’re wrong, the Lowell Sun said the opposite of me. Christ.

Than why did you quote them as supporting it?

Sophistry:The most popular career of a Greek of ability at the time was politics; hence the sophists largely concentrated on teaching rhetoric. The aims of the young politicians whom they trained were to persuade the multitude of whatever they wished them to believed. The search for truth was not top priority. Consequently the sophists undertook to provide a stock of arguments on any subject, or to prove any position. They boasted of their ability to make the worse appear the better reason, to prove that black is white. Some, like Gorgias, asserted that it was not necessary to have any knowledge of a subject to give satisfactory replies as regards it. Thus, Gorgias ostentatiously answered any question on any subject instantly and without consideration. To attain these ends mere quibbling, and the scoring of verbal points were employed. In this way, the sophists tried to entangle, entrap, and confuse their opponents, and even, if this were not possible, to beat them down by mere violence and noise. You can Google it Bud.
