Backtalk 10/30/2007

DISAPPOINTING: So, two disabled war veterans from the Iraq war throw out the first pitch Saturday night and the Fox network can't even air it. Enough said.

Lowell

KEEP LOWELL: There is no way in the world that you could get me to swap a class act like Mike Lowell for Alex Rodriques and his attitude problem.

Littleton

GREAT JOB: I would like to commend the Lowell High School Junior ROTC unit who stood at attention during the opening ceremonies of the World Series Game 1. To those of us watching the game from outside of Lowell, they did us proud. Congratulations for a job well done!

St. Petersburg, Fla.

TOO MUCH SPITTING: I enjoyed Bob Reed's chaw-in-cheek article about the fine art of spitting. He certainly spit it on the head. It seems the TV cameras zero in on every spit. How'd you like the job of cleaning out the dugout after a game? That could be a candidate for Mike Rowe's Dirty Jobs. Although I think even Mike would take a pass on that job -- yuk. May the game should be called "hittin' and spittin.'"
Hudson, N.H.

SECOND AMENDMENT: I am a Lowell resident and I will not vote for any City Council candidate who would refuse to recognize my fundamental right to keep and bear arms for the protection of my family and myself.

Lowell

PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY: Regarding the Blue Health Plan for Kids and parents who decided not to include their children in their employee benefits: So Rep. Jamie Eldridge feels the rest of us should pick up the tab when it was the parents who made the decision not to cover their kids. I am outraged -- anyone else?

Ayer

FOOLISH ISSUE: What a relief! Pelham selectmen have now resolved a town crisis by banning a dog from the fire station. Umm, tell me again. Why does Pelham even need selectmen if they waste their time on silly issues like this?

Chelmsford

RAINING INSIDE: The gym roof at Billerica Memorial High School leaks so badly that games held inside are called off because of rain. Students are tripping and falling over broken and missing tiles in their classrooms while administrators are having new windows and carpeting installed in their office. Billerica School Committee, please wake up. Schools are for kids.
