Larry Kelley: Nobody Loves Tweaking Amherst More

Poking around on the collection of Western Mass blogs known as Blognewsnet.com/pioneervalley, I found the very passionate and truly funny blog written by Larry Kelley. Larry and I have known each other, mostly through people we both know in advertising and business, for many years. Like me, he takes this blogging job very seriously, rarely missing a chance to put up an updated post, or add a photo to make it even more fun.

Today on his 'Only in the Republic of Amherst' blog his head was a classic: His Lordship's Carriage, a post that included a photo of the political-slogan covered rear view of an Amherst Selectboard member's Toyota Camry. With its dizzying array of political Korrectness, everything from the old saw about 'the military holding a bakesale' to the letters IRAQ with an 'N' falling right where the Q was. It is like so many Pioneer Valley Bumpers, filled with trite, unworkable sayings that just plain annoy me.

Larry agreed, and who else would put up that great headline?
