Of Note…

The Lowell Shallot will be publishing each week.  The corruptness of The City of Lowell is so ridiculous that it’s barely worth my breath.  Operations have been moved underground.  Beware cronies.  I’ll be watching.

Rock Winning in Polls

niki vs rock

In the latest poll of interested parties to fill Ted Kennedy’s wide Senate seat, a large rock is beating Niki Tsongas by a margin of 2 to 1.  A woman on Market Street had this to say, “I’m down with the rock.  Niki just keeps screwing thing up.  The rock, rocks!”  A source close to the Tsongas campaign had this to say: “I really don’t give a crap.  All I do at this job is answer hate mail and schedule trips to the hair dresser and nail salon.  I should have taken the position of working for Brain Martin.  It’s like an episode of the Soprano’s over there.”

Crony Map

I’m working on a map to show relationships between politicians and cronies in Lowell. I could use your help. Today I’m working on Rita Mercier. I would like to know about her relatives working for the city and their positions. Please post in the comments, or email news@lowellshallot.com .

I’m Sorry

The Lowell Shallot would like to apologize to all of our loyal readers for somehow not publishing the post below earlier this morning.  I was too busy listening to 980 WCAP this morning during the blog hour.  Mimi and Mark are so polite. 

The Shallot would also like to apologize to Emperor Wallace for the shitty trading card that was produced in that earlier post.  I was drunk.  Here’s a better one…
