Dickish skateboarders could force city to put chain-link fence around 9/11 memorial in Public Garden

Mike Mennonno's never been one to side with the Man. But he writes that he sympathizes with a city proposal to erect an ugly chain-link fence around the 9/11 memorial to protect it from the punks captured by the Boston Courant skateboarding on top of it:

I suppose you have to look at it as a fix for an original design flaw. That no one anticipated that a tiny, dickish crew of skateboarders out to impress their hoes would appropriate a memorial to 205 innocent people who lost their lives in a still inconceivable conflagration merely a decade ago -- I guess we should have thought of that, eh? I mean: so obvious. By now we should expect utter disregard of human feeling from each other, right?

Arrrr: You can now register to vote in Massachusetts as a pirate, me hearties

By adamg on Sat, 02/26/2011 - 11:22am

The Massachusetts Pirate Party fires across the bow of the Democrats and the Republicans.

The MAPP will advocate for putting people before corporations, opening up government, maintaining personal privacy, promoting culture and knowledge through copyright reform, and fostering innovation by abolishing patents. We call for people to join together and stand for the rights of the common citizen and expect basic honesty from our government.

The MAPP is currently focusing on defeating the Combating Online Infringements and Counterfeits Act (COICA) and other bills that would allow our government to censor the internet. We are looking for people who wish to show and present the truth. We believe that standing up for rights long guaranteed to regular citizens of America is something on which all Americans can agree.

Would it surprise you to learn it's based in Somerville?
