Bellicose Bumpkin

Mark Belanger – Middleboro resident – is dedicated to pissing off as many people as possible.  You’ll find me liberal, intelligent, handsome, always right, and above all – modest.
.
I was a co-founder of CFO and before that I lived in happy obscurity. I have it on good authority that much of Middleboro longs for the days when I was obscure. Now I’m just obtuse. I’m also an unpaid columnist for the Middleboro Gazette. As of this writing, the column is not in the online edition.
.
If you have something to say, consider becoming a guest author on this site.  All topics are allowed and I’m always free to not publish something you’ve written. Honest feedback is welcome. You can call me at 774-766-8141

Paul Singley is a local business owner, fitness buff, and generally the sharp knife in the drawer. Paul is constantly haranguing me to become a vegetarian with his most recent tactic being an appeal to my environmental sensibilities since raising beef and other livestock has significant overhead in energy usage and greenhouse gas emissions.
.
Paul is a budding inventor, political junky, and has a mailing list that’s probalby even bigger than mine.
