You Are Cordially (Not) Invited

19Jun09

Upcoming events on Monday:

While waiting for the light to turn green he suddenly lurches ahead and hits the woman in the car in front of him. Then he lurches across the intersection into four parked cars.

4 More Years of This?

01Jun09

We are fairly disappointed in Rich Weizel. We hope his editors had assigned him to write this story and to make sure he found something positive to say (no matter how lame it is). We give credit to Weizel for finding the only two people in Stratford willing to publicly support Mayor Moron. Rich Buturla [...]
