Newsworthy?

Despite the plethora of newsworthy items happening here in the valley, I've been unable to muster up at the keyboard. Christ, Rick Goyette is going away for two years in the federal pen, the other "ette," Mike is spearheading a doomed and fruitless attempt to bring legalized casino gambling to Chicopee (when all else fails--pathetic politicians patronize their older constituents with trinkets), and Northampton is literally shitting the bed. Suher's up to something, and Jordi Herold is attempting to squash everyone's freedom in Hadley. Frankly, I just want to curl up, dry up like freeze-dried fish.
