I love it. Yesterday, April 9, 2006, Tom Ryan launched the Undertoad Blog, the web address is www.theundertoadblog.blogspot.com. Since the first post was about the axing of Nick Cracknell as Newburyport’s Planning Director, I think the launching of this blog is a “call to arms.” Think about it Mr. Moak, Tom Ryan won’t just be able to torment you every two weeks, he’ll be able to do it every day if he feels like it.

From the phone calls and emails I’ve gotten, people are distressed beyond belief about Mr. Cracknell’s forced departure and are already thinking of ways to band together and to do whatever is necessary.

“Oy, Vey,” Mr. Moak. Very, very, very bad move indeed.
