Two quick topics 246 days away from Nov 2, 2021...Election Day
1)Columbus School
2)Joseph Curtatone
Robert M. Penta's important perspective on the Columbus School is getting traction. And there are some interesting comments
praising Bob on Real Medford Mass Politics
First and foremost is that Medford cannot afford this during a pandemic.
Stores are closing for good, People are concerned for the future and
Mr. Paul Ruseau and his so-called "revolution" haven't told us that they are
funding the name change.
a)Is there an "Our Revolution: GO FUND ME" to change the school name?
b)One of our readers asked about the Brooks School and if the school committee looked into the
background of its namesake. Did Brooks own slaves?
Pretty important to investigate that at a school committee meeting before blaming it all on Columbus
c)The allegation that the father of a Medford mayor had a "no show job" at the office of
disgraced ex sheriff, the late James V. DiPaola. It's a highly credible allegation since it was made
at the city council by a former candidate for attorney general This reporter had heard that
it allegedly was MORE $$$$ alleged to have been taken by the ex mayor's dad than what was reported
at that council meeting! That is highly offensive. And no one investigated this before naming a
school after a then-living resident???
That Middle school at 3002 Mystic Valley Pkwy should be re-named first.
The alleged "no-show" job was purportedly for 80 thou a year! You can change a LOT of names
of a LOT of schools with that kind of cash.
But the biggest insult is that the individual pushing for the change is the convicted vice chair of
the Medford School Committee.
Had Paul Ruseau Jr. TOLD US that his name was actually Paul Comeau Jr., that he had a criminal
record, that he spent time in prison, and had he been humble in telling his constituents the truth,
maybe that kind of integrity Ruseau is sadly lacking would legitimize, somewhat, his desire to
attack Christopher Columbus. That he's deflecting his guilt on old Chris Columbus is obvious.
Ruseau is deflecting his own wrongdoing so that he can avoid negative consequences (read questions)
on the upcoming campaign trail.
THEN, after yours truly broke the story on Paul J. Ruseau's criminal record, Ruseau LAUGHED about
it on the internet. The person writing under Ruseau's name claimed that they had stolen a computer
from a high school in New Hampshire.
How insulting that after the story ran Ruseau said that he had informed us that he was a convicted felon when he ran?
Really?
NONE of the reporters in Medford heard him say anything of the sort.
This writer lived in Medford at the time and probably voted for Ruseau. Now think about how much I know,
and ya think that if that fact was made public he would have gotten my vote?
I said to Harry MacGilvray "You know a lot more than me!" to which Harry replied:
"No. YOU know more than me."
Who are we to disagree with the head of the....
the president of the Medford Police Patrolmen's Association?
If Harry's correct, then you can trust my words that this publisher/editor/reporter never heard
Mr. Ruseau's confession.
So if a thousand computers are swiped from the high school to pay for the name change, please
call Ghostbusters.

Chapter 2: Joe Curtatone, Mayor of Boston?
The only time I was in a room (that I know of) with Joe Curtatone is when we both won awards
at Somerville Cable TV.
Why the issuing authority or whatever Somerville's term is for Mr. Cable TV,
getting an award? Shades of how Winchester TV misbehaves, but I digress...
Name the McGlynn school the Joe Curtatone Middle School
Put the naming rights to the Brooks School out there to the highest bidder...
The Wegman's School! Has a nice ring to it!
But for old Christopher Columbus? Tell Paul Ruseau and his pals to put their money
where there mouth is....
How many swiped computers will it take to fund the name change?
TO BE CONTINUED
I feel a public records request coming on...and so does Kimberly Scanlon and the school's records officer...
