Warren Shaw took me to task on his program and we went at it so when my how came up I gave it right back. It seems Mr. Shaw has a problem with the truth and is such a little sissy that he can't handle when people criticize him, so we took care of that today.
We also talked about the Governor's visits to Lawrence and Lowell. The Lawrence visit resulted in a press conference with Willie Lantigua, mayor elect and by the time it was over Nobody had anything to say. No announcements, no new information, but Tom Duggan had a question as he did when the Governor came to Lowell and didn't really have anything at all to say except that he disbursing stimulus money really, really fast! Loads of fun this week as we wrapped up the year!
