ATTHE COLONIAL, A SALUTE TO SEN. MALARKY’s COMBOVER … plus … WANNA CHANGE THINGS REAL FAST IN BITCHFIELD? THE PLANET SHARES THE PLAN
BY DAN VALENTI
PLANET VALENTI NEWS AND COMMENTARY
(FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE, MONDAY MARCH 10, 2025) — THE PLANET commends the management of the Colonial Theater for their swift actions following the Dumbocrats Sunday Hootenanny in honor of Sen. Ed Malarkey’s Combover. They hired a fumigator to get rid of the germs so they won’t later affect any innocent theatergoers.
At the event Sunday, speakers touted the politician’s futile attempts to hid his balding dome, calling it a “heroic action in the light of traitorous hair follicles.” A Perry Como Tribute act provided the entertainment.
Consider it Bitchfield’s version of March Madness.
The crowd of luminaries included Jumpin’ Joe Curtis, Tex Behnke, and other figures from the illustrious Bitchfield Sochol Department. Mayor Lumpy was around to hold Malarky’s coat and serve as his footstool. They did a fine job prior to the event filling in Sen. Malarky on the wonderful accomplishments of the local slchoo system:
- Multiple staffers and administrators suspended, on leave, or put in a Casella trash toter because of a plethora of charges including drug dealing, drug possession, sexual harassment, sexual abuse of children, locking special needs children in bathrooms. THE PLANET shall stop there. We don’t have enough photons to list all the charges.
- The clearance of two school administrators of creepy charges by the “independent” investigation done for Beaucoup Bucks by a Springfield law firm. Taxpayers can feel good about the bulk purchase of whitewash from Carr Hardware. The school department will be using whitewash by the barrel in coming weeks and months.
- The department’s continuing embrace of racist DEI (Didn’t Earn It) policies, which are motivated by acts of segregation based on skin color and sexual “self-identification.”
- It’s endorsement of LGBTQ+LMNOP “safe spaces” at the expense of educational basics such as reading, writing, science, and math.
———- ooo ———-
The Kapanskis, who didn’t have the time or energy to attend Sunday’s rally, earlier had noted the soclho committee’s “passing the buck” decision to replace the outgoing Jumpin’ Joe with an interim superintendent.
—————————–
“I think it’s not a secret that we will need to adjust the salary for the position in order to attract top candidates,” she said. “We have had a bargain clearance sale price on that position for a long time.” — School committee member Hathaway, on superintendent’s salary
——————————–
Here’s what shlooc committee member Miss Jane Hathaway said (Yes, actual quotes): “I think it’s not a secret that we will need to adjust the salary for the position in order to attract top candidates,” she said. “We have had a bargain clearance sale price on that position for a long time.”
Talk about out of touch. Jumpin Joe, with his online diploma and all, pulls down more than $200,000 a year in salary and bennies, and to Miss Jane, that’s “a bargain clearance sale price.” Klewless.
That tells you that this time around, the soolhc committee won’t just rape the Kapanskis, but they’ll drive them out of hearth and home as well. Say what you want, but the price of incompetence–to say nothing of corruption–keeps going up.
THE PLANET‘s spies on the inside say the FIRST PRIORITY of the new superintendent will be to keep his or her (only two sexes, remember) mouth shut when it comes to the massive fraud that is the slohco department.
You want to know how to change things real fast? Elect four citizens of “common sense” to the school committee and begin cleaning house. It can be done. Make a note of this: THE PLANET recommends a slate of four right-minded candidates to run for the positions later this year. They will be properly funded and, when elected, will begin clearing the debris from the train wreck.
So who wants to run? If you do, we can get you elected.

Markey a.k.a. Mr. Frosty – driving the clown car through Pittsfield. This guy is such a loser, and dumber than a brick. Anyone showing up for this turd should have their head examined.

Mr. Fritz , not to be a stickler, but bricks actually have a purpose, Markey not so much.
I agree!!
Trumps doing fantastic
Hope you’re not planning on retiring soon!
Finding it amazing that since the latest Pittsfield scohol issue at Stearns that not one public comment has been made by the voted in City Administrators! In “normal” cities the Mayor would hold a press conference. Where is Lumpy? No comments from President Porkchop or any of the useless City Council members? What about any of the dumb as rocks School Committee members?
My question on this is who is telling them all to keep their mouths shut? There has to be someone above Lumby telling them to shut up. Is it still Ruberto, Clairmont or someone else or are they just lazy, don’t care, or afraid of going against the clique and the good ole boys?
They all need to be voted out. None of them are representing the voters and taxpayers. We need a whole Council made up of members that mimic those that tried to help in the past like Mazzeo, Morandi, Connell, and Sir Chas, at least they attempted to change the City’s screwups. Then again they had President Lumpy throwing hissy fits and shutting them down constantly.
Why is Lumpy so afraid to fire Curtis, or afraid to fire Morales for the terrible condition of the public works department? Does it stem from the mess he is still in at Pitts Coop? Is he afraid of another lawsuit against him? Whatever, this secretive behavior needs to stop, hardworking taxpayers DESERVE transparency from the people they elect.
*Sarcasm* I asked Sara Hathaway if the Pittsfield Public School District is the definition of ROCK BOTTOM. She replied by saying that it is only 2nd to Jimmy Ruberto’s Rolodex.
If $200,000.00 is just chump change for Miss Jane Hathaway, we can only imagine her upscale lifestyle. She should try living on the salaries that the majority of Pittsfield people live on from the lack of opportunities due to incompetent Democratic leadership. When the majority of schoolkids live below the poverty line in Pittsfield, Miss Jane should be more concerned about the huge disparity of income between school personnel and the rest of the city. The Democrats say they are all about equality so they should start with spending less money on school personnel salaries and benefits so they can prepare students to pull themselves out of poverty. As we have seen, high salaries are not a guarantee of having qualified and ethical teachers and administrators in the Pittsfield school system.
Miss Jane has been out of touch since she sat with Moxie across from the microphones on WBRK’s “The Dan Valenti Show.”
Sara Hathaway:
She said: “Pittsfield is a junkie for state aid”.
She said: “Violent crime in Pittsfield is an aberration”.
She said: “I will bring a breath of fresh air to Pittsfield politics”.
She wants to increase the school public pay plus perks for the new Superintendent without factoring in the looming fiscal year 2026 municipal budget spending increases.
Around one decade ago, she walked away with an undisclosed financial settlement from the city from her sex and age discrimination case as a teacher whose employment was wrongly terminated, but then reinstated, along with several other middle aged woman teachers back then. I/we are sorry for her loss.
She correctly warned Pittsfield in the early-2000’s that Jimmy Ruberto was a fraud snake oil salesman, but a broken clock is correct twice per day.
She knows all too well about Pittsfield’s Good Old Boy network, but she once worked as a legislative aide for the disgraced State Senator Andrea Francesco Nuciforo Junior, who is Pittsfield’s millionaire political brat who persecuted me – Jon Melle – for a little less than the past 29 years of my adult life.
She served one 2-year term as the Mayor of Pittsfield, but she came off as socially unfriendly *RUDE* and out-of-touch with the local people and taxpayers. It cost her the political career she wanted in Pittsfield politics.
She writes political letters endorsing local political candidates, including her endorsement of Peter Marchetti for Mayor of Pittsfield in 2023, despite the allegation(s) made by Pittsfield Co-op Bank terminated employee Victoria May that when Peter Marchetti was her bank manager, he allegedly called Victoria May “a BITCH”.
She proudly stands with the LGBTQ…crowd in politics.
She sits on the Pittsfield School Committee, which along with the other elected officials in Pittsfield, said that they “no’s nuttin”” about all of the alleged scandals in the city’s public schools.
She is NOT a native of Pittsfield, but she has worked her way into the city’s governmental institutions for around the past quarter-century.
She is the subject of political writings, blogs, commentary, and the like, because she is a shameless political hack in Pittsfield politics.
Jon Melle
Johnny you say horrible things about Sara Hathaway but she stood by you when you and your ex Peter White ended your relationship. She also was a big backer of your Gay White Guys 4 Harris campaign. You should apologize to her.
Ed Markey is such a phony just like Liz Warren and all the other Democrats. Calling President Trump the king at the Colonial? The Democrat party is the king in this area. The Democrats keep the majority of the people poor and lacking in opportunities intentionally to get power and money for themselves. The Democrats live like kings and queens and we are their serfs.
It doesn’t make any difference that Trump is not a Fascist, or Hitler or a NAZI or any other distraction from the truth. The Marxists are trying to get the Shock Value from making such declarations. Only the weak minded are controlled by the Marxists ‘Jedi Mind Control’ trick. The words from the Marxists are simply another attempt to try and distinguish them from the people they claim are evil. While it is the Marxists who seek to control every
aspect of their lives.
Have you seen your water bill lately Pat. And your property tax proposed increase? Or the Shitty roads AGAIN ?
Or your Toter blowing down the street overfilled and lid astrewn.
“How many dumps can a small toter hold, before it is blown down the street? The toter, my friends, is blowing in the wind. The toter is blowing in the wind?”
Imperialism is alive and well in taxatwoshits.
It will be on life support before the midterm elections.

Hello blogger Dan Valenti,
I read two news articles about Maryland Markey’s visit to the Colonial Theater in Pittsfield (Mass.) yesterday (Sunday) afternoon.
I actually agree with what Senator Ed Markey had to say about Donald Trump’s extremism in The White House. Millions of people in Massachusetts and beyond will get hurt by Trump’s federal spending cuts to essential government programs and services.
I recently read that in Trump’s first 48 days as U.S. President in 2025, his golf outings costed federal taxpayers $18.2 million, which is an average of $2.7 million per day. Trump’s own actions shows that he does not lead by example.
It frustrated me to read that the Democratic Berkshire Legislators Paul Mark, Leigh Davis, Tricia Farley-Bouvier and John Barrett III all attended the so-called grassroots political rally because Boston has done little to nothing in terms of changing the government with the state legislative inaction in state government.
Pittsfield Mayor Peter Marchetti said that Trump’s federal spending cuts are impacting local government, but like his aforementioned counterparts in Boston, he has not changed the way the city and Group 11, Level 5 public school district budgets and spends taxpayer dollars.
To be clear, despite Maryland Markey’s lofty words, the local, state and federal career politicians are not changing the government for the benefit of the common people because they are all out of touch and disconnected from the “Jon Melle’s from Pittsfield”; (I live in Amherst, New Hampshire, but “THE PITTS” is my native hometown), along with the fictional Mary Jane and Joe Kapanski family.
I believe that either way – whether it is Trump or Markey, neither I nor the fictional Kapanski’s benefit/win due to the government’s many DISSERVICES that I feel make a systemic mockery of the common people such as myself. I feel like I, along with the fictional Kapanski’s, are conditioned to be the elite’s financial fools on many levels, while the likes of greedy lobbyist Dan Bosley, who is very intelligent about government operations an financial management, profits off it.
Lastly, as was previously pointed out, it is supposed to be illegal for political events to take place at the Colonial Theater, but last Summer 2024, Kamala Harris spoke and raised millions of dollars there, and yesterday, Ed Markey headlined the anti-Trump rally there.
Jon Melle
Why don’t you keep my family’s name out of your communist mouth. The Kapanski’s are hard working taking your lunchbox to work type of people. You are part of the lazy unemployed sit on your ass and complain crowd. Our clans don’t mix. Stick to your own type of people bums and communist democrats.
There is a draw to gubment dependency, the trading of freedom for comfort.
Heard a broadcast the other day. Including Transfer Payments, the poor make as much as someone middle-class. Nice gig if you can get
it.
I haven’t met a poor person raking in dough. I’m guessing it’s rich people stealing from the pot.
I am on the Kapanski’s side, especially when it comes to Pittsfield politics.

The highlight of the event was watching the buffoon brothers, Markey and Dennis Powell dance.
He wasn’t wearing that filthy baseball cap was he?
The Colonial event attendees reflect the influence that the left-wing Berkshire Eagle and mainstream news have upon people with no critical thinking skills. We have a president who stands for peace, while these democrat voters apparently support war (hypocrite Jon Mele). While Trump & Musk pare back big government, fraud & waste, the Markeyites want the spending sprees to continue.
Saw this quote on Instagram: “Imagine being mad at two guys who don’t take a salary for exposing the people who steal your hard earned money while taking a salary.”
Thus the idiocy of the Colonial crew. No common sense!
How does a 501c3 like the colonial host a political rally? The IRS rules say a 501c3 can’t directly or indirectly be involved in politics.
Rules ?laws ? Demonrats dont need no stinkin rules.
The commonwealth practices judicial imperialism, rules only apply to the peasants we fleece.
Much like Robert’s and Barrett, how do lawyers whov never litigated, become judges? It’s like a professional swimmer who’s never been in the water…
Those who can do, those who cant teach.
Their pettiness is affecting their judgement, further delegitimizing the courts.
When an individual raised that question in a comment to an I Berkshires article on the subject he was bullied by two leftists and called “stupid “.That seems to be how the left operates these days, he was told they can rent the facility to whoever they want. Seems to me that falls under “indirectly”.
I find it amazing the Colonial is being used for any political rally?
Hows Trump doing?lol….What a mess.Trump said he knew nothing about project 2025.THATS true.You all bought in to a crazy clown…Lets watch democracy die together ,this makes you all smile.
TDS
What was the option?
Trump and Musks businesses being terrorized and destroyed.
Tesla lost 800 billion this quarter.
Why not try a professional headhunter, or more commonly known as executive recruiter, to find talent that meets our job requirements. I know there just isn’t anyone out there that will do it for the trivial sum of $200,000 a year….
Dan brings up an excellent point on finding four common sense candidates for the School Committee too.
You would fit the ticket.
Its 4 to run. Fewer and it’s no-go. No point if fewer. Protest/minority presence on your elected bodies give legitimacy to them.
After a nationwide search they’ll hire a gobsig poluka
Mayor Lumpy
Let cat out of the bag, ” make sure our Grant’s are in compliance ”
Both Taconic and Wahconah grants are fraudulent- being granted to increase vocational education. Both schools decreased size and scope of vocational education- Trump / Doge is going to be reimbursed? All grant allotments.
DOJ already drafting subpoenas-
Moran Healey wanted Trumps attention, she has it.
The hunted are now the hunters, malarkey at least appears same, pocahontas is panicked ( fraudulent applications as minority) as to her corruption.
Justice is coming fast, hard and deep.
They are hiding the names from Stearns because that teacher and staff will 100% be let back into the classroom with unfounded allegations
Just like Molly “Kyle’s Prom Date” West
Ali “The Beaver” Shepherd
Just contact Sara Luciani, she’s the principal and in charge of this tomfoolery. As the Eagle article says, it’s an “INCLUSIVE” classroom with MULTIPLE TEACHERS and MULTIPLE SUPPORT STAFF
Keep this in mind when they scream about cutting teaching jobs. You can have 100 teachers in a room, but if they are this incompetent it’s meaningless.
NAME THE TEACHERS JOE

Here go. Check out the following item on the City Clowncil agenda.
A petition from Councilor Costa requesting the council support a resolution declaring the City of Pittsfield a Sanctuary City for transgender and gender diverse people
And it will pass, unanimously, in all likelihood.
What does it actually do?
It proves the city council is a collection of buffoons.
Wow. No words. Saw the footage from Worcester when they passed the same thing – this is outrageous.
Hitting on those tough issues as always!
I hope the Feds cut our funding. it will only hurt Shirley Edgarton
It’s certainly not a sanctuary city for taxpayers
She’s out of touch.
Sara Luciani won the 40 under 40 award a few years ago
She’s not only in charge of Stearns, but she’s definitely making a difference in the Berkshires. Always knew those awards were pointless and given to a bunch of slap assers. Pretty sure the CEO of the YMCA who’s besties with LAdyzMan Wiggins and the other pedo won this year
Good job Christian!
Will Marchetti lock me in a bathroom if I can’t pay my next mega installment of property taxes? Cuz some of us might not get there this time.
Do trans women need prostate exams?
Transfats can rest easy in Pittsfield. Wimpy White is happy.
