Green Exploding Sherwood
A local kibbitzer, with time on his hands and a new computer, has been matching wits with himself on the blog circuit, posting as two opposing personae. As Porgie Penstinger , he blogs adamantly against Indian Point , calling it the devil's own power plant, and asking his readers (if any) "What would Jesus do?". Amazingly, he has begun another completely separate blog, calling himself "Entergy Slob" , where he masquerades as a nuclear employee, imagining Bart Simpsonesque conspiracy thoughts for a non-existent faux "Insider" at Indian Point, hoping to smear Democratic political figures by claiming that "Entergy Slob" really thinks they are great.
In reality, he is unemployed laborer Sherwood Martinelli, of 351 Dyckman Street, Peekskill. Unemployed because of illness, illegal migrant competition, and a pronounced fantasy streak, Martinelli lives large, courtesy of his working wife Pina Martinelli, telling her he is an activist. A blogger he certainly is, having crafted such luminous sites as "Washington Clitorial" (yes, you read it right), "Westchester Rent-a-Husband", and a fake "Congressman John Hall Blog"- having no connection to the real John Hall.
Having been roundly rejected by existing progressive political groups (Martinelli got his arm broken, politicking unsympathetic Grateful Dead fans in Peekskill), Martinelli has become Peekskill's own "Lord of the Couch", sitting in wife Pina's living room, pajama-clad, broken-arm-cast on high, and the stuffed remains of his deceased cat Dinero Boo on the coffee table as an ashtray, advertising he has an "open marriage" and that he "Likes mature women", he trolls the nuclear, and the anti-nuclear waters alike, equally, hoping to obtain a petition signup from a lady -- any lady-- suitably aged, and inclined, to hook up with the scruffy, bearded 51 year old vagabond over Merlot and cannabis, and plan great anarchist events, prior to getting down to more personally satisfying biological activities. He even will do yard work or grocery errands for her, if need be (so he advertises). I wonder if Pina knows.
The local blog-following public awaits the time when Martinelli, now pushing out some 35 blogs, agrees among his selves, and elects one of his split personalities chief spokesmouth for the whole crew of fake identities-- now numbering over a dozen.
Until then, regional talk about Indian Point, either for or against, is now swamped in Martinelli's dirty tricks, phish sites, split personae, trick blogs, multiple opinions, and all around poor behavior.This can only work to Indian Point's advantage, as a Manhattanville poll reports 47% of the populace hereabouts supports the plant, and only 33% oppose the plant. Therefore, muddying the waters can only impede the huge backlog of opinion-changing work the antis have to accomplish, just to draw even with the pronukes.........
In this, Martinelli seems to be everybody's worst enemy. Perhaps even his own.
