I just finished perusing The
For the third week in a row this blog is front page news with a full 2 1/2 pages twisting what we're doing here. That's fine with me. Traffic to the blog keeps growing and more importantly, people are talking about race relations, which is what I wanted to accomplish. The feed back I am getting is very positive for the most part.
It is notable, that while one of The
My statement to the Middletown Township Committee was not printed despite the fact that it was submitted well before the publication deadline. Nor was I asked for comment any of the articles I was mentioned in.
Is there another newspaper anywhere that would feature a blog as front page news, three weeks in a row?
There is something else missing from The
In addition to skewing what is happening on this blog, what happened at the Middletown Human Rights Commission meeting and the Township Committee meeting, The
What was missing from the Birdcage Liner story about the train station? Jim Purcell's apology to Rob Clifton.
Back in May of 2006 Purcell made up a story out of thin air that alleged that Clifton was dirty with regard to the Matawan-Aberdeen train station deal.
Or course Rob wasn't dirty, and like so many of Purcell's filthy rants, the story went no where. Yet no apology or retraction.
This post demonstrates two examples of that political hack posing as a publisher's dirty deeds. There are many more. He had me fooled for a while. Like what one of the commenters said when I announced that our relationship was over, it is surprising and disappointing when his true nature is revealed.
Jim Purcell and his paper are a menace to Middletown, the Bayshore, Monmouth County and beyond. It took me a while to realize it. My thanks and apologies to those who warned me. I now realize what he's doing and why he's doing it. It is not about good government. It is about bitter retribution and it will all be spelled out here, in time.

Art, this appears to be the "pot calling the kettle names". You made a mistake also and mud slinging is usually below intelligent people. That is the game of lousy politicians because they have nothing else to offer. Jim Purcell may not be perfect but neither are you.... Grow up and go on.
I understand that this post, and the ones like it to follow may sound like sour grapes. I know they are not, but I can't avoid the perception.
If my use the of n-word and the ongoing series that followed was a mistake is legitamately debatable.
However, Purcell is out to intentionally destroy careers and reputations for his own personal and political agendas. He's dangerous. He doesn't care about policy. He only wants retribution for himself first, and for his bosses second.
He needs to be discredited. He will be.
Do you mean Rastman had a point?
It's not sour grapes I can assure you because I was trying to tell you it appears that you are a sore loser and I can only glean that from what you have written. I have never met you. Your release from the Courier was to protect the newspaper from the backlash that was surely to come from your choice of words in what is a very sensitive subject. Missed your point,Art. You are capable of better. I have always respected you for your support of your town's young mayor and I do know her !!! Get back on track and forget about "getting even" !!!
Do you mean Rastman had a point?
Yeah, on his head.
Rastaman was much like Purcell, but worse. Like Purcell in that Rasta published lies. Worse, because Rasta went into the gutter to do so and accused his targets of drug use, porn addictions, pedophila, child abuse and financial irregularities.
The Rastamen are scum and I'm not done with them either.
Arrrrrrrr, matey!
I too noticed the similarity between that landlubber Purcell and that sniveling swab, Rastaman.
Shiver me timbers! (In fact, me timbers are shivering!)
I must of missed something. Where did the Rastaman accuse anyone of having child porn? This sounds like one of the wild ramblings of a madman.
In a way you sound like James Purcell. Throwing allegations around.
You did miss something. Actually, you saw something that wasn't there.
Where did I say that Rasta accused someone of having child porn?
Read my comment again, slowly. Word by word.
Purcell owes Matawan's previous Borough Council an apology, as well as. Rob Clifton and Mayor Buccellato. Purcell along with his cohorts,even tried to influence the Mayoral & Council Elections in Matawan by implying the Council, specifically Buccellato, was guilty of wrongdoing. No apology was forthcoming from Purcell and company when they were proven wrong. Fortunately, we in Matawan are intelligent enough to see through his poison pen.
Sahib,
glad u finally saw the light about purcell
Also can't wait to see more on rastamen
Do you have an update story in the wings?
Signed an old friend
Oh my God, Purcell with hair! That explains everything!
Purcell is a fruad and should be booted from the courier. (Which use to be a good family paper)
