Your Sept. 25 column razzed the Board of Ed for forming a committee to study the obvious benefits of televising meetings. Why didn’t you mention the night-of-Sept. 22 announcement that BOE meetings would indeed be aired?

Because I submitted my column the morning of Sept. 22, according to the committee I formed to study what happened.

Dear Montclairvoyant,

Is it an unequivocally good move to televise BOE meetings, or is it "better late than never"?

All I know is that late-arriving Montclair High students will get detention, the late-deciding BOE will meet in Montclair High’s George Inness Annex, and the late Inness will be remembered for painting "Sunrise (Bagels) in

Montclair."

Dear Montclairvoyant,

What was in his paint — pigment?

Cream cheese.

Dear Montclairvoyant,

Inness was a dean of landscape painting, and now Montclair High has a dean of attendance. Do you like that school’s new post?

Yes, especially since an existing administrator will apparently be that dean — meaning taxpayers won’t have to fund a new hire. By the way, did you hear that Rutgers next month may hire a dean of football overspending?

Dear Montclairvoyant,

With the presidential election next month, I have to ask: Is John McCain an ex-maverick, a pseudo-maverick, or a 1976 Ford Maverick?

Yada, yada, yada.

Dear Montclairvoyant,

If McCain flip-flops his way to the White House, will he build an "accessory dwelling unit" there?

Sure. His jettisoned integrity needs to live somewhere.

Dear Montclairvoyant,

Back in Montclair, do you like the excellent proposal to test accessory dwelling units?

Bring ‘em on!

Dear Montclairvoyant,

BlueWaveNJ, which just opened a "Resource Action Center" on Bloomfield Avenue, wants Barack Obama to win. Might that lead to a more peaceful world?

I formed another committee called "Integrity Restored After November" (IRAN), and McCain — with a nod towards Brian Wilson’s upcoming show at the Wellmont — responded by singing: "Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb IRAN."
