AOL Patch Spreads to Nazareth

So, is Patch really just a part of AOL's secret plan for world domination? Wikileaks will undoubtedly soon reveal this media conglomerate's secret plans to replace the Pledge of Allegiance with "You've got mail!" But until that dark day, I'm enjoying the local patches in Bethlehem, Easton, Emmaus and Hellertown. I even write a column for them.

The latest Patch to roll off the assembly line is right here in my home turf, Nazareth. It's edited by Bethlehem Press alum Mallory Vough. Oh my God, in her video, I can see my estate. I'm surprised she made it through the concertina wires. I'll have to have several of my guards shot.

The one or two Nazareth Borough Council members still willing to be seen talking to me, lament that they now only rarely see a reporter at their meetings.

That's about to change.

    Bernie--

    How come you are not getting one of those Patch jobs? You would be excellent for the position.

    Thanks for saying so, but I think I would be bad. These are hyper local and I like to ramble all over the LV. I will be posting there as a weekly columnist. I am very happy about that.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
