Anti-Phoenix harrumpher insists he's no Mullah Omar
We're not Taliban blares the front page of the West Roxbury and Roslindale Bulletin this week about Bob Joyce, the man who would liberate West Roxbury, where he doesn't live, from the evil clutches of the foul Boston Phoenix. He says he's not against the First Amendment, so there. The Bulletin clarifies his merry band's philosophy, in what has to be one of the best paragraphs ever written in a neighborhood weekly:
The party further discussed the kind of freedom they hoped to preserve in opposing the Phoenix, an ordered liberty in the spirit of Montesquieu and the Federalist Papers, which serves as a constructive foundation for human society-and decent society, even. They decried the flimsiness of libertarianism, which can lead to life the way Hobbes put it-nasty, brutish and short.
Tammy, who does live in West Roxbury, explains why she wishes she could liberate West Roxbury from the evil clutches of Bob Joyce, and wonders why the Bulletin keeps giving him space.

Bob Joyce and his Phoenix Crusade
Bob Joyce is about as dumb as a fox. He is getting himself all this press and coverage at the same time as his former opponent, Marian Walsh, is "this close" to getting a Judgeship. Bob Joyce has found a way to position himself to make a move if and when she resigns her seat.
Genius!!
